QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 10, 2009 -> 03:45 PM) mlb.com reporting that Jose was removed after 3 IP with an injury - no other info yet. Apparently he injured himself running to 1st base. Let's hope for his sake that it isn't that achilles getting reinjured.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Sep 10, 2009 -> 03:18 PM) JD's struggles is a huge reason why this team is 6.5 games back and not 2.5 games back. If he's not injured im pretty worried about his rapid decline in production. If thats the case, I would be extrememly hesitant to bring him back in 2010. He basically just shut down in the matter of a few days. He went from raking to puking within a week. One week he's going 10/25 with 12 RBIs, then he's 1/25 the following week and stuck in that funk since. He has to be hurt, or he's really mentally screwed up out there.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Sep 9, 2009 -> 11:31 PM) Dye 1st half MVP 2nd half MDP (most disgusting player) Quoting myself from the game thread . Plagiarism is not allowed here. Just kidding. And I caught that DVP you had there before you edited. Haha, yeah, I botched that up pretty bad. I liked your Most Disgusting Player comment so rolled with it.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Sep 9, 2009 -> 11:18 PM) You'd think being waived and being given away for nothing would wake you up. Still getting paid though... so.

I think he's just mentally jacked or something. I think it started with him not making the All-Star roster, with the awesome numbers he put up, then the trade rumors, him being shopped, then the acquisition of Rios. I think maybe he's just fed up and feeling underappreciated? No clue but he needs to get over it. I do think he's been one of the most underappreciated guys we've had on this team aside from the WS MVP he won, but that's really no excuse. He's playing like he's got a pretty bad injury, but that obviously isn't the case.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Sep 9, 2009 -> 11:11 PM) I could have caught it..... Most 10 year old little league players could have caught it. Brain fart error for sure... He was sleeping out there. Someone needs to wake him up.

They deserved to lose just a LITTLE bit more than we did. That's saying a lot, with how we played this game.

Not sure what happened, but I'd take Brian Anderson, or even Wise over him at this point. We wouldn't lose anything offensively, and at least they can play the field. MVP first half, MDP second half. Is he bitter or something?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 9, 2009 -> 11:04 PM) Yay, at least I know how this game ends before I go home from work tonight! I'd skip watching it, unless you just fast forward to the 13th, laugh at the top of the 13th, then celebrate AJ being a stud in the bottom. Pretty ugly game.

Well, another game where AJ and Pods seem to be the only guys that care about winning.... Some trend huh?

lol, Hairston was sleeping more than Rios that inning. Not running on that flyball he hit, and then running on the popup? LOL. I didn't think that was possible. Did anyone see Rios on that flyball? He looked completely out of it. I really hope these rumors about him being lazy and disinterested aren't true.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAH!

Man this team sucks. They look good on paper, sure, but in reality, they are completely missing the "clutch" aspect that makes a team good.

Or not. Anyone else pissed off that we're playing 4 innings more than we should have played? f***ing Pena. f***ing Ozzie I should say. He's made some really stupid decisions tonight, again.

Wise.... lol Walk-off time.

Smart play by Fields to bunt there, actually. There is NO arm at 3B.

AJ got an arm transplant? lol

LOL, I love how Hawk says WASTED. He was utterly disgusted with Pena too.

Good clutch hitting guys.

Pods is like our only clutch hitter.

I realize these games really don't matter, as we're all but eliminated, but why would Ozzie use Pena? The guy SUCKS SO f***ING HARD.

Let's see if Q can get his swing back here. Perfect time to break out of a slump.

I agree with Steve and Hawk about AJ. I really think he should have been hitting in the 3 spot for a couple years now.

QUOTE (MattZakrowski @ Sep 4, 2009 -> 07:15 PM) It is not made of cheese, it's made of whatever New Era makes them out of to justify costing $35. Gold?

Does Dye make that play? I don't think he does.
