QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 3, 2010 -> 08:19 PM) Peavy's starting to lose a bit of velocity now....89-93 MPH this inning on his FB. He got it up to 94 on Kendall. As long as he's around 92-94, he's fine.

You know how the Sox can solve this attendance problem? Paint all the seats black and make every game a blackout.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 3, 2010 -> 08:16 PM) So, basically... he's nothing like Willie Bloomquist. Teahen != Bloomquist.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 3, 2010 -> 08:14 PM) What did A.J. Do? He slid and then fell on his ass.

LOL @ A.J.

It might be time to move A.J. back to 5th.

This is the Jake Peavy we saw at the end of last season.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ May 3, 2010 -> 08:05 PM) peavy is looking pretty damn good tonight Hey buddy, SHHHHH!

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 3, 2010 -> 08:04 PM) At least he's not hitting in a position usually reserved for run producers. Or being paid the same salary as a great clubhouse guy who could have been had. s***, we could have had Pods back for the money he's making.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 3, 2010 -> 08:02 PM) Bieber's got us up two. Who's Bieber? Isn't that what Cowley calls Merkin?

Could you imagine the chaos that would have ensued had Podsednik hit a home run there?

Why Kotsay sucks: 12.2% LD%, 48.8% FB%, for a guy with virtually no power, that's the formula you need to hit like crap.

Mark Kotsay is the ground out to second specialist.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 3, 2010 -> 07:57 PM) No, Jones had a huge RBI single to LF earlier in the season, very clutch-y. Can't remember the game, but I think there were 2 outs, too. That was two weeks ago.

Jason Kendall is a horrible catcher. Jones is 5/5 on SBs.

Jones finally gets an RBI without hitting a home run. That's new.

That was a sad excuse for a slide.

Is Scherzer pitching for the Tigers? He's getting roughed up if he is.

This left side of the KC infield is horrendous. Keep hitting it their way if you have to.

Alexei heating up? Maybe? Pretty please?

You have any idea how much face the organization would lose if we send Beckham back down? No way in hell is that happening.

Everybody sucked in the leadoff role because Ozzie put the wrong players there. I think Ozzie did it on purpose, lol.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 2, 2010 -> 04:21 PM) Do the Sox sometimes overvalue guys who do well against the Sox? Wasn't Teahen a Sox killer? Did that get KW and Oz salivating? He's nothing too special IMO. Maybe. After all, it takes away the damage he does against you. I bet Buehrle's happy he no longer has to face Teahen. But at the same time, he might not be so happy that he's our 3B.

QUOTE (knightni @ May 2, 2010 -> 04:40 PM) 6 Ks in two days. Do you think that Beckham should sit tomorrow in favor of Nix or Vizquel? I think he's really messed up mentally right now. Just not hitting the pitches he's supposed to be hitting. I wonder what's going on.

QUOTE (scotty22hotty @ May 2, 2010 -> 09:44 AM) Based on UZR... Of the 24 players that had at least 800 innings at 3b last year Beckham (1st year) was ranked 14 and Teahen was ranked 21 (5th year) This year based on at least 150 innings played hes ranked 29/30 at 3b ... just ahead of Jhonny Peralta. The top players KW could have signed: So far... Adrian Beltre (9M/1, 5M option) is ranked 6th Miguel Tejada (6M/1) is ranked 7th Teahen currently has a 12.5M/3 contract (2.25M this year) saving around 4M (~66%) compared to Tejada. Simply put, you get what you paid for. Once again, UZR after one month isn't exactly a valid measuring stick.
