That is interesing...but hard hit balls are overrated

Jose Abreu

Losing is a disease... ...as contagious as syphilis. Losing is a disease... ...as contagious as bubonic plague... ... attacking one... ... but infecting all. But curable.

As I have said before, the worst thing about this trade is that Hahn had to sweeten the deal at all by including any extra players. It is just that much worse that the "throw in" happened to be Tatis. Shields was called out by the owner of the Padres as a bad signing. Erik Johnson should have been more than enough compensation for the Sox to take him off their hands. That the Sox had to kick in more to get the Padres to pay some of his salary is a joke imho.

Power is out at my house...it sounds like I'm lucky I can't watch another awful offensive performance.

Garcia

Yep, I would hope they do not use it in the postseason....and completely get rid of it for full seasons.

It's official. I hate the man on 2nd in extras. I also reserve the right to change that opinion based on the next Sox extra inning game.

It seems like we need to beat up on our other opponents and go for the wildcard. We play like crap against the Twins and Cleveland. Lucky we weren't swept but should have won 2 out of 3. Oh well, better play well against the Tigers starting tomorrow.

Abreu

Thanks. I just checked the box score. It looks like Foster pitched well. I thought they were going to follow up Foster with Detwiler? BTW, I am a little ashamed to say that I have no clue who D. Anderson is.

Just turned on the game this inning. I do not know what the hell happened in the rest of the game...but I like what I see from Burdi so far.

Since Kaplan is a die hard Cubby fan, I can understand that animosity. I loved Q on the South Side, and further really love the return we got in Eloy and Cease.

Danny Mendick

Yep, I agree. Why change a winning hand with Detwiler. He might not be in their medium or long term plans for the bullpen but he has looked great this year. With bullpens, you have to roll with who is hot imho.

I think I will listen to the radio broadcast. My dad used to carry the radio around the house listening to the games. I'm getting old enough to continue that tradition.

Colome says Soxtalk Game Threads can suck it

Moncada

This game's a piece of shit, when you look at it.

I am a huge TA fan but I'd like to see Robert there because he will walk more once he gets a better feel for the pitchers imho.

That Stone prediction that the Sox would score in the 1st did not age well.

Excellent idea!!

So you agree he's bad ?

I could not agree with you more. Differences aside, this is a terrific group of Sox fans to cheer, complain, predict & reminisce with.

Thanks for completing that thought ?
