Going into Wrigley with some momentum. Get Russell up. 6-0 Pirates.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 19, 2008 -> 01:25 PM) Ozuna just needs to get released. Uribe is a superior defender, so why not have him at 3rd today? Exactly

f***ing ozuna

The f***ing catcher is running, throw to first come on ozuna wake up

Gavin struggling to throw strikes

Blanco and Soto both played last night The Sox should think about getting a guy that can catch and get Hall some more regualr AB's

So will Lou be berated like Dusty for leaving his pitcher to much and ruining him like Dusty was with the China Dolls. Same thing with Marmol. At this point in time they should shut him down for no other reason than to just be cautious.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 18, 2008 -> 02:28 PM) I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that taking the early lead and adding insurance runs later in close games had no inherent value. My bad. He's not good in close and late situations or with RISP & 2 out but the vast majority of his 14 homeruns this season have been of great value to the team. He carries the stigma of only homering when the Sox are up or down big and that's just not true at all. That's all I'm saying. OK Homeruns after the 6th in games up by 3 or less, tied or losing 0

The stat 2 out RISP somethign like 2-24 was startling as well.

I have been mulling this trade over but would you trade Quentin for Carl Crawford?

I like Jim Thome but I think his Hawk nickname should be the Garbage Man.

I traded 10 minutes of the game for Blues Clue's what happened to Pittsburgh and what is the game situation?

Konerko will at least change things up and adjust his swing to what is needed for the AB. Thome just rears back and swings ala Sammy Sosa and when you get older you swe what happens to each. I understand Sosa is a jag on steroids but they are very similar hitters.

QUOTE (scenario @ Jun 17, 2008 -> 04:13 PM) It's not unusual they're starting Wise. This year he's hitting .298 against lefties. And Snell seems to have more control problems when he faces left-handed hitters. (26 walks and 25 K's vs. lefties; 13 walks and 37 K's vs. righties.) Well there you have it. Ozzie stopped managing by the seat of his pants and he read a scouting report.

Wow Wise strating already................................ sigh He is left handed, as is Snell correct........

Of the four Wise, Uribe, Ramirez and IANderson I bet Anderson gets the least at-bats ofthe four while Konerko is out. Unless KW trades Uribe he will play over Anderson as will Ramirez.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 16, 2008 -> 11:01 PM) Detroit finally got beat. Good job Giants ... for once. Fernando - ABBA 1977

Did he spearhead the Matt Thorton for Joe Borchard gem? The Jason Varitek trade although not him was as monumentally bad as a trade can be.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 17, 2008 -> 07:20 AM) And Ozzie led the Sox to getting swept in Detroit and losing 2 out of 3 to the Rockies. Don't blame the manager on 3 freaking games. How is it Manuel's fault that Thomas and Konerko didn't get a hit the entire series? Chad Bradford Lou Pinella

Damaso v. Thome Should be fun to see that one.

Loaiza can serve the 15 days on the DL and then rehab. I do not think these starts are part of the rehab assignment. I also believe he can spend more than 15 days on the DL.

Tiger Woods needs to finish in the Top Ten of every major until 2019 to tie Jack Nicklaus for the most top ten finishes in a major in a career.

I despise greatness.

That's the ballgame. Rocco needed some backspin.

Is this best of the three holes or one hole at a time?
