QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 08:35 PM) Ortiz is in. This is against Ozzies nature to put in anyone but a lefty. I posted it when Youklis was up but hit the button just as he singled.

Now Williams.

I think Dotel should be in now.

Go to the bullpen. You can still win this game. Don't let it get out of hand.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 08:29 PM) or Fields at third, Alexei at 2b and Gordon at SS Nix apparently has the valentin disease....errors on routines plays, but has all the ability in the world to be a well above average 2b but just isn't I don't think Fields is any better offensively than Nix. Defensively he's not better either, although Nix is far from great IMO, no matter what UZR says.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 08:29 PM) Odd that the Rockies gave up on him so early. He hit in Colorado Springs. But so does everyone. I'm pretty sure the Colorado Springs team OPS last year was over .800.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 08:28 PM) But, but, but Nix is a great defender Once in a while you catch lightening in a bottle with a younger cheap released player. Jenks was one, Nix doesn't look like one.

UZR rating falling.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 08:24 PM) Jason Nix versus some lefties sure. The Jason Nix for starter show. Not wanting on board that failboat. He couldnt hit with the Rockies. Things havent changed. The problem is the other option is worse. Lillibridge.

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 08:24 PM) also the one i dont get here. ugh i love how i have comcast but i dont get CSNHD. My brother has comcast and CBS hasn't worked for 2 months.

Hawk with another subtle dig at Anorexei and I agree with him on this one. He does try to make routine plays look spectacular often.

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 08:22 PM) What channel is this game on? the U which Direct tv doesn't carry in HD.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 08:17 PM) how about a quick 1-2-3 What are the lottery numbers?

QUOTE (nastymasty21 @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 08:16 PM) I know he has not cuz Nix keeps doing it. If hes not listening to his coaches then he should sit. Wow. Nix wouldn't be playing but Getz is hurt. Lillibridge is the other choice. That's ugly.

QUOTE (nastymasty21 @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 08:04 PM) I will. He is the hitting coach. Is it too much to ask for him to suggest that he swing at the first pitch if its right down the middle. The approach he takes is not condusive to his skill level. He has no plate coverage. Pitcher throws 1st pitch strike to him every time then pitches him away and is overmatched. Time to try a different approach How do you know he has not? If a hitting coach can make everyone great, no one would be able to afford to go to a game.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 08:01 PM) Or bring him to the bench permanently. We have our new 60 million dollar man sitting out 2 of 3 games now. One way or the other, Rios needs to be playing everyday. If only for defense.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 07:59 PM) despite his cranial malfunctions, can you imagine how much worse this O would be w/o pods? I'm not a Pods fan but your statement is true. Now, what are the chances he can continue to do what he's done next year? I would say slim to none. KW is going to have to address it, and it probably will cost Dye or Thome a spot on the White Sox.

QUOTE (nastymasty21 @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 07:52 PM) Exactly and got forbid Walker make and adjustment with him Yeah, blame Walker.

Hawk is still popular in Boston and they usually have him on the radio when the Sox are in town. If you have ever heard an interview asking White Sox questions to Hawk in Boston, its not the company line he spews. Its very candid.

QUOTE (joejoedairy @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 07:45 PM) stone wife lisa, she likes taco bell Stone's wife is hot and makes a lot of money.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 07:42 PM) Hard to believe that Nix hits .202 against righties with his wonderful ability to cover the plate. He has people who swear by him. I think some need to understand just how Nix is thought of around baseball, when this board was discussing trades many thought there was no way Fields would clear waivers. The White Sox don't want to send Wise down because they think he won't clear waivers. Nix cleared waivers twice last year.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 07:41 PM) Well, the funny thing is we should be leading 4-1 and Jose was throwing 95 MPH tonight at age 40+. But not to be...this whole season just feels like one big missed opportunity. It should be 4-0 really.

Nix is solid.

Its amazing how much s*** AJP gets around here. Wait until he's gone. He will be greatly appreciated.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 07:36 PM) im still fuming about AJ not even trying to block that f***ing pitch btw.....there are balls int he dirt he just stabs at i feel every other game instead of blocking it...and of course hawk never says a word about it because they go way back.... his offense has been as good this year as he's had in a sox uni He was set up on the outside corner, the ball was in the dirt on the inside corner, it was almost impossible to stop. AJ's reputation is excellent for blocking balls in the dirt.
