OMG OMG two hits in a row!

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 09:58 PM) Pods is making up for it with his far, far, far, far, far, far superior bat to Anderson's. Any amount of games he costs us will surely look paltry when given the alternatives. Pods is an adequate lead off hitter, and Anderson is a horrible hitter. Dont get head of yourself anointing Pods some sort of offense juggernaut with his .298/.338/.379 line(i think at least .350 is what most clubs are looking for) and a OPS+ of 86, just because you can compare him to someone who's bat has no place meaning in the majors.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 04:06 PM) I wish we moved Becks up in the order, so he can actually see more pitches and get opps to have guys in scoring position. how would you feel hitting behind Wise, BA, Getz and Nix. I like this idea... I actually wouldn't even mind him batting 3rd, Dye is not completely tearing it up right now and with Pods and Lexi probably being our two hottest hitters (also PK) it would give Beckham many more chances to drive in some runs and give him a real boost to his confidence(even though he needs none)

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 04:16 PM) Going off of the line score, we had one opposite field hit this entire series. That sounds like code for "Fire Greg Walker"

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 04:13 PM) Ozzie is not going to use him as a defensive replacement. He's proved this many times. He's a waste of a roster spot. I don't have any idea who could replace him, but he's still a waste (as is Wise). That's the problem who do you replace him with, I'm sorry but if Scott Podsednik is your best defense option in center your going to have problems...

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 04:10 PM) Yeah, everything he had going for him before he got hurt is completely gone. His swing is back to crap, he swings at every single 2 strike breaking ball, and he hasn't hit the ball out of the infield in god knows how long. Get rid of him, I'm over it. We still need his glove as a 4th outfielder, I dont think you get rid of him but if he's starting were going to have problems

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 04:09 PM) I don't think Victorino would fit well into our future Leadoff hitting CF? I don't follow how he wouldn't fit, unless your betting on Danks coming up this year...

The phillies really need a closer any chance we could pry Victorino away from them with Jenks?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 04:04 PM) I'll stand by my arguments. Colon is a joke. His line today versus a bad team again is a joke. I also believe my other two comments, but I respect those who differ in opinion on those topics. To play this badly at home against pissant teams is disgraceful. To have four automatic outs in the lineup on a given day is ridiculous. At least Lexi got two more hits today. Beckham is NOT an automatic out, and Castro is not an everyday player. Yes I agree that BA and Getz seem to be an easy out but you need to lay off Beckham, I don't care if he goes 0-40 hes not going to be an automatic out over his career and all this is doing is giving him valuable experience.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 04:01 PM) Colon's ERA is still decent and he's cheap. If you want him gone, you mine as well get something for him. He is also probably leading the league in unearned runs allowed, scout the player not his numbers. Colon has one pitch which is about a 89 mph fastball, you could put him on a college team and he still would get hit hard.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 03:57 PM) Colon must be released. Beckham is not ready for this. Our veterans are inconsistent. Fields, Castro, Nix, Beckham, Anderson were today's automatic outs. We usually have at least four automatic outs in the lineup in a given day. Playing this badly at home vs. .the A's and Indians is not good. Will Detroit win all five and put us out of our misery in mid June? Beckham had by far the best at bat out of him BA and Nix how can you say hes not ready and think those two still belong on the team (Not to say Nix isn't a good utility guy and BA is a 4th outfielder) but COME ON can we please stop with this silliness that everytime Beckham doesn't get a hit he's not ready

WHY CANT YOU HIT BA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder since the White Sox have never seen me pitch either if I could shut them out too.... Hey that could be a promotion for some team when the Sox come into town... give some amateur a chance to pitch against them and see if they can do it

BA is really making the desicion easy for Ozzie of who's gonna play center when CQ comes back.... looks like there gonna be the worst defense outfield in baseballl

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 01:37 PM) Another unproductive out.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 01:33 PM) Colon against Milwaukee next week will be comical. One of the best fastball hitting teams in the majors against someone who only throws fastballs. Any chances he doesn't get the start? Do we have anyone down in AAA who's due for a shot?

got a feeling we actually get some runs this inn...

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 01:28 PM) How long do you really except us to ride the Bartolo "beefcake" train? I expect him to fall of the tracks any day now and he'll be sent away for scarp metal

Bartolo may just be done,I hope when Jose comes back up against Detriot hes got something so he can replace Fatty Colon as #5 PS and as I type this bartolo gives up another hes need to leave now

This pitcher is really bad I think we need to be a lot more worried about Bartolo keeping us close, the runs against this guy will come....

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 01:22 PM) This pitcher is freaking awful. He really is! Nothing overpowering and seems to be hanging tons of stuff over the plate or just missing all together. If the Sox cant hit him they need to just give up! I definitely see Beckham getting that first hit with a double in the 3rd inn.

Paulie gave that a ride but flies out to center....

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 01:20 PM) Pods really should have just kicked that ball. Sacrifice the out for the double play I think thats a move only for AJP...

Come on Paulie pick um up!

QUOTE (shipps @ Jun 3, 2009 -> 02:16 PM) Castro is my unofficial pick to click. What is the incubation period on the dreded "Can't hit a pitcher we've never seen virus" aka W1-S1
