QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 9, 2008 -> 11:38 PM) If the Sox keep hitting in Detroit, I'll be amazed and happy. Isn't it a hitter's nightmare of a park? Keep it up, Swish! hopefully we'll hear a lot of hawk's "Let's keep the line moving" with a bunch of doubles off the wall, though it's not difficult to hit HR's to left field, Center/Right-Center and Right aren't as friendly

LOL watching the encore of the game, i can't believe i missed this earlier Swisher & Paulie do a hop-bump in the dugout after paulie's jack in the 7th inning, funniest thing I think I've ever seen in my life, these guys are about as loose as you can get right now also, so much for cabrera being in ozzie's doghouse, after cabrera scored in the 7th and went back to the dugout, him and ozzie definitely shared a nice grins & smiles moment

probably isnt' a coincedence that both came from west coast teams, and both started off the season reallly reallllllllllly slowly, time will tell

:sweep: :sweep: :sweep:

LOL the runner at 3rd stays, high-larious

this is what happens when you haven't pitched in like 5 days, and one of your last outings was a blown save, ugh

yeah let's make this interesting bobby, ffs.

when did craig monroe become so difficult to strike out? seriously

anyone listen to the score yesterday when they were at cork & carrie's? even prior to that, when cooper called chris during the post-game and was like "Get off the air and get down here now", either his sense of humor eludes me or he was sick of waiting for chris to get down there, lol coop sounded hilarious, like he was drunk or something, and during the chat @ the bar, coop even had the nerve to call out Chris saying "last year you said Gavin wasn't any good" and i was surprised he put Chris on the spot like that on the air, but i've always felt that Coop absolutely hates the media

i remember in the offseason when alexei defected, there were a lot of people (in general) saying he was a project that needed time in the minors to adjust during the game yesterday, Hawk made an interesting comment, saying Alexei is probably the most talented player on our entire roster. he said he might not put up the numbers of the other guys but overall talent, he's probably our best player. anyone else buy into that line of thought or do you think Hawk was making an misinformed comment? i found it interesting, i certainly can't argue that alexei isn't full of talent, the dude is just a damn good ball player

QUOTE (DaveBrown85 @ Jun 9, 2008 -> 01:13 AM) Anyone know how many games they play on the road the second half of the season? 32 of 67 games are on the road in the second half so 35 home/32 road, nearly .500 starting today, we play 15 more games on the road of 32 total games through to July 18th, so we'll be going 17home-15away up to July 18th

QUOTE (soxfan3530 @ Jun 8, 2008 -> 10:03 PM) Only problem with boone? There arent' clones of him. he has been awesome. *remembers a game in baltimore* *recalls the rest of the season* *forgets about the fluke in baltimore*

hey guys fire greg walker swisher is a bust send ramirez down etc. etc. go sox!

As of the 7th inning OC: .253 AJ: .298 CQ: .282 PK: .216 JT: .209 NS: .221 JC: .296 AR: .298

btw, our hitting approach ALL game has consisted of one main element (for the most part) guys are going to opposite field if this team has truly started to try and hit the ball where it's pitched, given how teams have scouted us all year (force us to pull pitches on the outerhalf of the plate), this is exactly the same of run production that would occur where a team starts scratching its head after it's scouting report (make hitters pull outside pitches) fails

why not put quentin in RF and give JD the rest of the day off, seriously? put the youthful defenders out there and rest JD's legs, ffs.

alexei is a GD ballplayer

sounds very promising, get this done Kenny, low risk, high reward for sure.

QUOTE (Chet Lemon @ Jun 7, 2008 -> 02:14 PM) Hitters have a .339 BA against Livan this season. Livan almost no-hit us last time. :/

i went with alexei + bullpen, no reason needed for pen but as far as alexei goes, i feel given his lack of experience at this level, his performance has been remarkable

lol @ masset

just give alexei the starting 2B job for the rest of 2008, seriously. this should be a no brainer at this point, even if he slumps for a decent period of time, he's just flat out better than Uribe, and his range is unbelievable
