I'd like to see Mike Trout in a Sox uniform.

Looking at some of the pictures with bodies in it is just heartbreaking.

QUOTE (Lillian @ Jul 18, 2014 -> 03:49 PM) In the two clips respectively. where Viciedo and then Abreu walk in a comical manner, my guess is that they are imitating Sierra. I've noticed how funny his gate is. My interpretation of the whole "schtick" is that the players either know, think, or suspect that Sierra is gay, or at least like to tease him about acting as though he is. Moises is so over the top about being openly affectionate toward the other players, and they appear to be giving him a little "taste of his own medicine". In any case, I don't think that they are dancing. They are mocking his manner of walking. I have no idea how much of the whole thing is just "tongue and cheek", or based upon something real, but it appears to be particularly prevalent with the Latin players on the team. I think it's hilarious, and they seem to be having a lot of fun with it. I have been living in Costa Rica for the last 25 years, and the culture there is much less "politically correct". "Ticos" openly tease one another about such things. I know that such behavior would be frowned upon in the U. S., but not in Latin America. Lol, what?

It's amazing how quickly threads can turn into something irrelevant to the original topic

I was at the fog game last year against the Blue Jays. It was Axelrod vs. Dickey, both got rocked

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 17, 2014 -> 10:20 PM) I got a feeling Phegley is a AAAA player but ya, he should be getting a look the rest of this season. I mean he didn't get a huge sample size last year and it was his first taste of the majors.. It might take him a year to figure it out but we have to at least give him a chance. But I have a feeling Flowers won't be going anywhere unless he gets hurt

6 home runs for Charlotte tonight. Jordan Danks is up to .280 with 13 home runs.. If De Aza or Viciedo get traded I would like Danks to get more of a look. There has to be something there. At what point do we give Phegley another chance? He has been on fire

Bummer.

QUOTE (OsweGo-Go Sox @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 11:34 PM) Anyone think they skip Carroll and have Sale start on Monday? I'm going on Monday and crossing my fingers... I would assume Sale starts Monday So the rotation would be: Quintana-Noesi-Danks-Sale-Carroll But they haven't said for sure

QUOTE (joejoedairy @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 04:19 PM) Sale won't pitch this weekend. Think this is due to his one inning in the ASG or just additional rest? Link No, its so simple. 1) They want to break up Sale-Quintana-Danks 2) They would rather have Sale face KC then Astros

QUOTE (glangon @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 05:08 AM) With Dunn gone at the end of the year and Paulie retiring and the likelihood of Viciedo being traded, this could lead to Conor being in the DH position allowing Davidson to play 3rd base next year. Potentially that would give us an infield of 1B Abreu 2B Johnson SS Ramirez 3B Davidson With Semien and Leury Garcia as utility guys. That isn't bad and with Avi Garcia returning next year to join Eaton in the outfield. I reckon that this would mean that we would be looking for an outfielder and a catcher if we have Gillaspie at DH. I reckon that these positions will be what Hahn will target in trades / offseason. I enjoy that you use the word "reckon" But I do sort of agree with you.. But I am not sure Johnson will be ready at the start of next season yet

I hope there are pictures of his parents in the crowd or of him and his parents.

1 pitch.. Fly out to left... Announcers didn't even talk about him.. Seemed like they were going to go down to Ken to talk about Wainwright throwing a meatball to Jeter during his AB

Abreu leading off next inning

Who is Jose Areu? And who takes what Wiki says seriously?

Nice pick by Abreu!!

When is Abreu coming in?!

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 08:45 PM) Sarcasm Obviously Grienke sounds like a tennis player out there

Why did we vote this guy in

Sale not doing to hot

Sale and Alexei coming in

QUOTE (Vance Law @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 06:50 PM) Curious, what do people think is the issue with the huge drop off in stolen bases this year? Probably trying to focus on other things he needs to do to better his game.. I don't think he has attempted nearly as much as last year.. I also think last year he was stealing just off pure speed.. He probably needs to work on his base stealing ability more.

Any word on if Sanchez will stay up? I assume we will wait until Thursday to make a move. Have to think Hahn is exploring trade options

QUOTE (sammy esposito @ Jul 13, 2014 -> 01:26 AM) My guess is there is something else going on. I sure hope so. Unless they either think Alexei will be on the 15 day DL or Beckham is going to be dealt during the break. Or they are done with Garcia and they are ok with Sanchez being the utility guy
