Dr. Pain told ozzie that it's not to serious and Carl will probably just need a few days off.

 

That's good. I think it might have been you that said it, but for everyone that was complaining about Everett.....the other options behind him are much worse.

Blum sure looks like he can hit  :rolly

Nothing like judging a guy on 9 ab's.

My observation, as if it means anything, is that his swing is WAY too long right now.

Yep, nothing like a nine AB sample size.

Rowand's wife looks like G. Fischer.

I believe 2k5 said those exact words. I've said that Carl definitely isn't an ideal 3 hitter but he's still a damn good hitter and the best clutch hitter we have. We can't afford to lose Jurrasic.

How can they take DJ seriously like that?

Actually I'm a Padres fan too, and he sucked there as well. He is a very streaky hitter, he hasn't been on a good one since the beginning of the year.

Didn't he have an unreal stretch this season where he was like 8-8?

rowands wife was pretty cute.

DJ is such tool!

LOL

I couldn't take DJ seriously with his normal look.

He's actually had 1 bad month and has been pretty solid the rest of the year. Not to mention he looks pretty damn smooth in the field.

He was unbelievable in April, and has pretty much sucked since. But he is very versatile as far as D goes.

The Sox didn't trade for Blum to be a big bat. They got him because he is a big upgrade over Willie Harris and can actually play a good 3B as well as give Konerko some off days at 1B.

We've got plenty of streaky hitters here and we're still working well...Uribe, Crede, Konerko, Dye, Rowand, Pierzynski...

 

All I want from him is to give people on the infield (read: Crede and Konerko) some extra time on the bench so that they're more rested when October hits, and for him to not be as bad as Willie Harris (i.e. coming up with a runner on 2nd 3 times in a game and not moving him over 1 time)

 

Can he get down a sacrifice bunt?

Cute girl in a black shirt behind Sox dugout. Look out for big thread on her tomorrow.

Konerko's been an iron man out there this season.

And some of his best hot streaks have come right after Ozzie gave him an extra day off.

I know that, I'm just having fun.

Actually he had a better May then April and he's been pretty solid in July as well. June was a real bad month for him but that's it.

Blum's three-year splits:

 

As a LHB, 945 ABs, .261/.315/.398.

 

As a RHP, 182 ABs, .220/.290/.346.

 

So, basically, can't do much vs. lefties, but is our best LHB off the bench.

Yeah, we faced the Padres when he was slumping, and he looked real bad. He's just pressing right now, and like I said earlier, his swing is really long. He's been much better in the field than I thought he'd be.

Indians now have 9 hits in an inning, with only one out.

There ya go Scotty.
