Friend of Nordhagen

I was just thinking I had to go to bed soon and kinda wondering when it would all end. Having now seen Scott Linebrink warming up, things are coming into focus.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 12:07 AM) Who's hitting the cow bell? Pods. Trying to contribute.

Quite a few meatballs so far.

QUOTE (joeynach @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 11:39 PM) I can now remember Pods getting picked off of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd base in the last month. Thats freaking sad. And if anyone could get picked off of home, it's Pods.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 11:39 PM) Now there's another guy whose baseball I.Q. was bad. It was only fitting that they were traded for each other -- the all-stupid-clearance trade.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 11:36 PM) As stupid as it was, Pods practically crawling back to third on his hands and knees all late made me laugh pretty hard. Agreed. He never really got back, instead finding himself hung up on his own shoulder.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 11:36 PM) I don't think I've ever seen a guy get picked off 3RD BASE before, and if I did.. must have been a long time ago. Pods might be the first player in a long time to get picked off 1B, 2B, and 3B in a season. He's had a very good year, but it sucks when your baseball I.Q. is the size of a raisin. And it's one of those little ones, too, kinda crushed at the bottom of the box.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 11:34 PM) Can I also add that Jeff Cox is absolutely brutal at his job? He needs to be communicating with Pods there. Coxie is still excited about dropping those 20 lbs., winning that big bet. It's very exciting.

QUOTE (Hanky Panky @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 11:34 PM) God that pissed me off. Where does he think he's going, for chrissakes? If it's a wild pitch, he's fast enough to score. If it's in the air, he's gotta go back to tag. Pods, you're a numbskull.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 11:30 PM) Don't ask him for an autograph if he does.

Idiotic.

Hannahan has power. Have to be careful here.

QUOTE (BFirebird @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 11:19 PM) What is funny about that easy pop-up to Rios. Not sure Dye gets there that easy. Dye stumbles into the foul pole.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 11:16 PM) When the going gets tough, pull the ball! I've never seen a shift on a guy who hits .220, but you could make a good case of playing 3 infielders on the left side against Nix.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 11:13 PM) Post of the f***ing YEAR. Thank you, sir. Looks good in the sig.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 11:15 PM) Yeah, Nix keep hitting it off your foot. I admire that kind of commitment to the team.

QUOTE (bobryansson @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 11:12 PM) Does Mark get a vote? Two, I'd reckon.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 11:09 PM) Ok King Felix is gone sox hitters. Let's not Greg Walker this inning. GREG WALKER: (v.) To appear befuddled against pedestrian pitchers, particularly those making their initial appearances in major league baseball. Syn.: Dead-pull approach.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 11:07 PM) Mark Buehrle has balls of stone. Its just that Alexei Ramirez has hands of stone. Right. From Lexei's hands to Mark's balls.

Ah, look who else is blowing opportunities . . .

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 11:04 PM) Thanks Alexei for gracing us with your glove of stone. Another LOL

QUOTE (GordoTheGreat @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 11:04 PM) Alexei being Alexei "Kismet"

QUOTE (GordoTheGreat @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 11:01 PM) This is going to nip us in the butt, either way. Wait. Will it nip us in the butt, or will we nip it in the bud?

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 10:59 PM) I think with everyone getting caught up in the acquisition of Alex Rios is almost everyone forgot about the fact that he sucks. LOL
