QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 02:13 PM) How old is Alex Gordon? It's his full second year if I'm not mistaken, has he shown some potential? (Sorry, I don't watch a ton of KC baseball) He's 24 I believe. George Brett claimed Gordon is better then he was at Gordon's age. He has a good OBP (.355ish) but his BA leaves something to be desired. He's going to be a pain in the behinds for us for many years.

I know the Aflac Trivia Question- Bart Johnson. I believe he was something like 12-11 with 15 saves.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 02:08 PM) I'm not able to watch this game....can only see the details on ESPN Gamecast. But Paulie got an infield hit????? Wheels baby!!!! That man got some speed!!!!!! Hit it pretty softly in the hole between SS and 3B and the SS dove and bobbled it.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 01:43 PM) Adding Beckham and Danks to our farm system brings it back to respectability a little more. Glad to see the Sox did the right thing, went over slot, and got it done. Now let's hope Danks doesn't turn into a Sweeney or Reed type of hitter who just has no power whatsoever. He should at least make it as a 4th OF someday though. If he can hit .290 with an OBP of .335 in his first year of a full time starter, I could care less. 2-4 years of starting, if he can hit 10-15 HR, that's fine IMO.

A productive under. Way to go PK

Over/Under: Paulie hits the ball 130 feet.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 01:59 PM) http://www.baseball-reference.com/t/thomeji01.shtml coming into today, OBP .371, SLG .511, OPS+ 129... I know he gets on base a ton, but then why does Swisher get ripped on here so much? To have your AVG at .258 a week ago and now it's under .250 is a shame. BTW- guess what I'm eating? Cooooooooooooookie Crisp.

Cy Peralta is warming up. Way to go Thome, your BA is back under .250.

To get these 2 in would be huge. But the key is to swing, Thome.

JJJJJJDDDDDD

Awful AB there. Come on JD, duplicate what you did in the 1st.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 01:50 PM) Unlike some I don't mind having Junior on this team, but I hope he hits more than just singles pretty soon I think he sucks.

Hit him now, pricks.

Where is that moron Cox telling him to slide? God sometimes he is an idiot. Come on MVQ

Come on Wiffey.

Juan runs funny.

Toby Hall = Slow bat

QUOTE (tommy @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 01:42 PM) [email protected] Thanks. Good to see King Felix misses the Twins in both series's only to face us the 2nd game here.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 01:41 PM) Broadway is just incapable of missing bats right now, the hitters are getting to everything he's tossing up there. 53 f***ing pitches for Broadway, we'll be lucky if he goes 4. If the game gets out of hand, bring in Carrasco. Whatever he does, if we still haven't made progress to recover from the lead Broadway gives up, bring in Richard.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 01:39 PM) That's a great post. Lexi would have looked good up there with Paulie moved down. I emailed Oz and said go ahead and play Paulie just bat him eighth. What's his e-mail address?

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 01:39 PM) i'm probably the only one thinking this but Broadway has good mound presense, i like his composure when his team is throwing piles of poo at him, he's still battling. Hawk hates his guts because he believes our "solid defense" is...well...solid so it's always the young SPs fault.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 01:38 PM) If you do not want to lose your sanity the rest of the season forget about BA except for defensive replacement late. He's done. The acquisition of Fat Man KG means absolutely no time for BA. Which sucks, because I never thought I'd see a guy come up in which I'd have less confidence for then BA...now it's Griffey.

I've heard Danks is a great defensive CF'er which is nice. Great news.

QUOTE (wilmot825 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 11:09 AM) This is Big Name Players, Mike Caruso and Gustavo Molina...No they should not even be mentioned. Both of you guys r stupid It's in green which is the universal message board sign for sarcasm, ya dope.
