Now Brent Morel will no longer need surgery this off-season. They are going to let his shoulder heal over time. I guess that's a good thing. No AZ Fall League for him either, but that's not much of a surprise.

According to this podcast, they think there is a "good chance this gets done" with Grimes. But he also said they have one big bullet to shoot, and it will either be Grimes or Terry, but not both. http://www.baseballamerica.com/blog/draft/?p=2742

Morel is playing SS tonight, but is currently 3/3. AVG up to .310. Also, Phegley is 2/4 today. AVG to .302

" anything to get away from the big league team" Yep, that's how I feel. On awful days like today, I just retreat to the minor league boxscores, and find some great games by some of our 'spects. It makes me feel good inside when I see Morel, Wilkins, Reed, Hiedi, Phegley, Petricka, ect. have a really good game.

Alright, I'm out. Cya guys later, hopefully when I see my last Sox game of the year on TV on Tuesday, they won't suck.

The crowd needs to chant "Paulie! Paulie!" again. Worked last time.

UghLexi.....let's do this Paulie.

QUOTE (Sox72 @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 04:05 PM) Well, that makes up for it a little. He cost us 1 run, he earned us one run. It may as well be 8-7 Tigers right now.

Well, that helps your cause, Andruw. lol.

QUOTE (bobryansson @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 04:00 PM) I think maybe Rios gets both of those. Don't know, obviously. And I have to think Jenks can't pitch, so Thornton is for the 9th. We don't deserve to win this. Rios for sure gets that 2nd one, but the 1st one would have taken a great, great play to catch. Jones looked bad on it, but I really doubt he would have had it regardless.

Ok, wow Andruw. That one is totally on you........ The previous ball was going to be tough regardless, but that right there is just awful.

If Putz turns bad too, then we are in some serious f***ing trouble. We can't contend with a bad Jenks, a bad Putz, and a shaky Thornton.

Ugh....Andruw got ALL turned around on that one..... f***.

Stoney, if Alexei stays back for the tag, it makes picking that short hop much harder. I am fine with Alexei coming up to pick it, rather than staying back and hoping to snag the short-hop.

Bryan Bullington, some 30-year-old scrub, threw 8 shutout innings of 2 hit ball vs. Yankees. Ouch, Yankees.

Let's go Teahen, I want to like you.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 03:20 PM) A 2 game deficit going into Minny is a lot better than a 3 game deficit. Win 1 there and you're no worse than 2 back...and with the pitchers we have going, we ought to be able to pull 1. You mean, no worse than 3 back?

PAULIE! PAULIE! PAULIE!! First time I have heard the crowd chant for a player that loudly, and Paulie delivers!

Thank you Alexei!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 03:14 PM) Beckham holds them to 1 if he doesn't try to barehand it. And Freddy holds them to 0 if he makes it, which was an easier play then the one Beckham had to make.

Not your fault Pierre, you can't hit flyballs anyway, yet you were put in a flyball position.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 03:13 PM) It's not great, but I can live with 5/5 by Freddy when the defense gave up a chunk of it. Those first 2 were Freddy's fault, not Beckhams. Freddy jumped WAYY too early on the chopper.

Woo-hoo! Beckham is bunting!

Atta boy Andruw!
