"*The Tigers have a ton of momentum after taking the first 3." Momentum means nothing. We went into Detroit on a perfect game.

I saw on the Twins board that he is getting to be known as "Home Run Greedy Crede"

Actually I wondered if Nix could get more playing time in left and move Pods over to CF in preparation for Q's return. Ozzie must have heard me think it.

I think we are all missing the obvious reason for Paulie's resurgence - he can relax now that Brandon Allen is no longer breathing down his neck.

QUOTE (chisoxfan09 @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 12:12 AM) Clayton sure looks decent as a backend (5th spot is where I think he fits) starter. He gave up some runs tonight but overal was steady. I expect his ERA will go down with time if he spots his pitches a little bit more. The offense clicked again. And yes Paulie/Slayer are on a tear!!!!!!! I think he lost some focus in the 5th because he was trying to rush through the inning.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 30, 2009 -> 11:49 PM) Is it too soon to want to see Nix in LF with Pods in CF? Yes - but I'd like to see Nox get some more playing time not necessarily at Getz' expense.

QUOTE (Baines3 @ Jun 30, 2009 -> 10:15 PM) Glad they called the game. Beckman is sure coming on hitting. it was funny to see how po'd he was when he struck out on that last AB.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 06:34 AM) I think a lot of people are setting themselves up for a big disappointment if they think CQ is going to step right back in and dominate. Yes, but if he steps in and is better than the Anderson/Wise platoon, the Sox are better than they are today and may win the division. If he takes another few weeks and is 75% the player he was last year, the Sox take the division.

QUOTE (Downtown518 @ Jun 30, 2009 -> 02:56 PM) Per Mark Gonzales no Pods tonight, amongst other changes.... Nix - LF Missle - SS JD - RF PK - DH AJ - C BA - CF Bacon - 3B Getz - 2B Fields - 1B Ozzie throwing in the towel tonight?

The Reds and the Giants could really use a right-handed power bat like Dye. You know who else? The White Sox.

QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Jun 30, 2009 -> 01:35 PM) Where is Lee at in wins right now...about 15 or so...oh wait no that was a fluke I forgoteded. Lee is capable of shutting the offense down for sure. Need to make him work and get to the BP.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 29, 2009 -> 12:57 PM) Cleveland and Kansas City have been struggling. This is a good chance for us to make up some ground on the leaders going into the All-Star Break. I hate playing struggling teams because I always get the feeling that they're due.

Last night I was at Great America. I was wearing a Sox cap and a guy comes up to me and asked if I knew the score. I said the last time I checked it was 7-6 Cubs. He gave me a real aggressive fist pump and screeched something like "in your face" - so much that my husband stepped in front of me. I just thought to myself instant karma's gonna get him - and it did.

This is the move that I've been waiting for - WS HERE WE COME!!!

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Jun 26, 2009 -> 09:33 AM) The Dodgers are the reason why our stadium was originally built with ugly ass blue seats. He have to hate them. Plus they already did this in 2005 - with the same uniforms and the same '59 Sox players. It as very cool then - now it was just a repeat. AJ should wear that uni every day though.

I think that psychologically it's important to be at .500 at the break. Within 3 games of 1st would be nice also.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 14, 2009 -> 07:38 PM) Carlos Quentin does not bunt. His job is to move the runner over via a walk, a HBP a base hit or a home run. I think I saw that Morneau is hitting second now.

QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ Jun 12, 2009 -> 10:14 AM) While I am not advocating a fire sale yet, yes each game we lost were very close vs the Tigers, but the lack of execution by the offense throughout the season is worrisome. CQ is often injured, Thome's DL stint is inevitable, Getz has been up and down this season, then if PK goes down for any extended period of time you have Fields who was garbage offensively and defensively at first to replace him? Not only that, but you have a question marks at the 4th and 5th spots in the rotation. Yes, Richard has been pretty good since inserted, but how long will he hold up? He has no track record to fall back on to say he can make it through a whole season, during a playoff race. Then you have Contreras, while he looked great in his first start back how long before he starts walking 4 or 5 guys a game? How long until he gets injured? Colon doesn't even need explanation as his stuff has left him for good. Not to mention our defense that has cost us some games itself, though most of those errors were Betemit. It's just not an easy call. How many times has Thome been on the DL since he's been dwith the Sox? I can only recall once.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jun 12, 2009 -> 12:28 PM) AJ has been on fire lately I saw him strand 6 runners in back to back AB's yesterday.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 07:47 AM) After a sighting of the Bronze Titan, Buehrle needs to come out and put the clamps on the Tigers again. Since everyone else has said it and it hasnt worked, Im going to say it now: If Beckham plays today, he gets his first hit. And I firmly believe once that first hit is under his belt, he is going to take off. Well Fields won't be playing unless they are showcasing him.

Where did Cowley predict this fire sale?

QUOTE (soxfan3530 @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 09:48 AM) Nothing big. Said he is excited to be coming to Chicago. Only been there once before. Doesnt know his role yet. Blah, blah. No real news out of it. Should he be talking to the media before the move has been announced by the team? I know the kid is excited but I don't see this sitting well with Kenny.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 12:40 PM) But has there been in talk of an injury to Bart? Yes, he has been diagnosed with solopitchitus. It's partly mental - you actually think you can get big leaguers out with only an 86 mph fastball.
