Who is Jar Jar Binks in this scenario...Alonso?

Cubbie fans sitting in the row behind me last night were really upset about that "old senile Hawk guy" dissing their beloved stadium...it brought a great grin to my face...and by the way, Wrigley is still a dump. I haven't been there in years and it is just as unpleasant as ever.

I was there and the energy from the Sox fans was incredible. I did not see it but my wife said the Sox fan who got the Eloy homer stood on his chair, held up the ball and kissed it as the Cubbie fans desperately pleaded to "throw it back"

Hey elrockin...I think our picks teamed up quite nicely in that 9th inning to win it....Let's call it a tie

Ditto...Cub friend of ours is in from out of town and bought tickets. My lovely wife bought me new Sox gear for Fathers Day to rock at the game. I love it when someone out of the blue becomes a Sox hero at Wrigley...so I'm looking for Cordell or Tilson to have a big day!!! And please keep us close Nova so we can get to that Cubbie bullpen.

Gonna be there in person and just have to pick Eloy

I think that is because people have somewhere to vent with other Sox fans here at SoxTalk, especially during a game thread when something frustrating happens....Like Alonso coming to the plate

When Eloy connects...well I think Jason Benetti said it best...WOW

I'll take being correct for a month and remind myself in July that he is still only 25 years old!!!

And I have to keep reminding myself that Giolito is still only 24 years old!!!

I'm just not sure there is much of a market out there for him but I definitely see your point.

How about a 1 year contract with an option year 2? Doubtful that Vaughan is up next year, at least not at the beginning of the year. Plus the option year might yield more in a trade next year if Jose gets hot.

Cordell

I hear Mayor Pete is working on a cut fastball just in case he does poorly in the Iowa caucus.

Alonso

Yup, I realize that now. I was just excited when I got the email from the Sox saying he was in 2nd. I am happier when I just follow the Sox and am blissfully unaware of what players on the Yankees and the Cubbies, etc are doing...then I looked up Sanchez and his stats...19 home runs, that'll do

Holy Crap...I only saw what place he was in and not how many votes he was behind Sanchez!! Nonetheless, I am going to show him some love with multiple votes

James McCann is currently in 2nd place for AL Catchers for the All Star Game. Let's do our best to punch McCann and show him our support...how about having the starting battery with Gio and McCann!!

Kudos again to McCann for his preparation and calling another great game

Absolutely agree. Lopez was not rated high by some because they thought he was destined to be a reliever. We will need a great bullpen to compete and if he is part of that great.

When the Eaton trade happened, I remember some expert saying he would not be surprised if Dunning was the best of the 3...not happening now but if we have a #1 and any other rotation piece, that is a great trade!!

Sanchez busy today

Outstanding outing again by Gio...we have our ace!!!

Thank you...nice quick outs will keep Herrera out of this ball game

Herrera warming up?....please no
