Alexei's "clutch" stats are pretty impressive Close and Late: .339 .339 .536 .875 RISP: 413 .420 .556 .976 RISP,2out: .353 .389 .559 .948

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 04:15 PM) When reading the debate about who deserves to be AL MVP, I was surprised to see that many people favored Josh Hamilton because of his RBI total. Carlos is beating him in basically every category but RBI's which probably has more to do with our terrible OBP by the top of the order. For comparison's sake their numbers in their slots in the order: Cabrera .286 .337 .715 Pierzynski: .281 .306 .705 Is there any contending team that is worse at getting on base and setting the table? Total Bases (2008): Kinsler: 249 TB Young: 198 TB ------ Cabrera: 167 TB Pierzynski: 163 TB lol, what a joke. how many RBI's would Quentin have if he had multiple runners on base for him as many times as Hamilton has? his RBI totals could very easily match or trump Hamilton's

jim thome leads the AL in OPS on the road interesting.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 11:52 AM) Are you suggesting that Tampa Bay has the AL East locked up? they have a lottttttttttt of roadgames left i believe, that division isn't locked up... in my opinion

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 11:53 AM) So unbelievable that we're seeing this thread for a guy who originally was slated to not make the team. In a sense was behind Owens, Anderson and Alexei for outfield time. this season is going to be a positive when it's all said and done, for me. even if we miss the playoffs/world series with being able to see young stars on our team play amazing baseball (Gavin, Danks, Quentin, Alexei), hopefully it's a sign of things to come

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 11:49 AM) Thanks for pointing out the chat, I just got a question in. mine didnt go through ;( it was in regards to game-tying/go-ahead RBI's (i.e. Clutch). Isn't quentin leading the league in those categories?

http://proxy.espn.go.com/chat/chatESPN?event_id=21923 Jayson gives the nod (currently) to TCQ. Some of the comments there are interesting Evan Longoria for MVP? lol, his BA with RISP is terrible. So is ARod's.

C'MON ROYALS SAC FLY PLEASE EDIT: DAMN IT. teahan is about as unclutch a player as i've ever seen

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 03:17 PM) I think he's almost a lock to win if we make the playoffs. Hopefully we get to find out if I'm right. was talking to this braves fan who IMO talks about the Red Sox like he's a closet Sawx fan as well, he argued that Quentin still won't get MVP because of Hamilton's story, no matter how well Quentin plays the rest of the season

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 03:05 PM) Got the series...AWESOME. Beatown had been playing well. This was a HUGE series win for the Sox....HUGE. right now worst we can do is split since it's a 4-gamer

6-5 W

apparently Jacoby Ellsbury changed his name to Jacoby Ellsworth, according to Hawk

that error on Everett was actually a blown call by the 1B Ump, just sayin go royals though

throw strikes Bobby

4-4 TIE GAME

4-3 min via wildpitch

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 02:50 PM) Where is Brian Anderson? He should be in. hopefully he'll be in, in the 9th... at least I would hope..

Billy Butler is on a roll 1st and 3rd, 1 out for the royals

profundo's bat "strikes again". meanwhile, leadoff single for KC

that was the best call ever by hawk GROUND BALL, ......... TURN IT LOOSE ALEXEI.. YES!

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 02:34 PM) I am turning this game off. No need to take 5 years off my life. don't blame you

our bullpen is so bad, jesus christ! playoffs? playoffs? you're talkin about.... playoffs? bring in dotel, why ozzie? wanna see more of the same?

Thornton's release point = HE GAWN lol

3-1 to ortiz with a 1-out walk on 1st base who didn't see this coming?
