Not to panic pedal, but the fact that Pods was missing the entire game raised concern about his health. At the very least, couldn't he have come in late in the game, as a defensive replacement at the very least. At the end of the game we had Blum at third (bad), Gload at first (Not Great), and Everett in left (Bad, though he did take away a HR).

 

In the end I thought that Pods would have had a better chance at Vlads double in the 12th.

Day off, that is all.

Gload and Blum are more then fine as defensive players at 1st and 3B.

If it was Pods in left,the ball caught at the wall would have been a HR! Dont listen to Hawk,Pods is average at best in left!

i disagree. he isnt average. that is all.

and its 8:25am here right now

and i am drunk

muhhaha

nothing like getting up at 6am to get smashed

im not an alcholic, i swear!

hah

With Washburn being a LHP, I see it as nothing more than Pods getting a day off. Like Ozzie has said in the past, he likes his players to get the whole day off.

 

With 2 day games in a row following the Fri. night game, it makes sense.

I agree with the LHP being the reason for the full day off, but if Sox face Angels in the 1st round and Washburn is able to pitch one of the first two games, considering his road record, he will. I wonder if Ozzie is going to let Pods face lefties in the playoffs or not.

A night of rest: With the quick turnaround involving Saturday afternoon's contest, Guillen decided to rest Scott Podsednik on Friday against left-handed starter Jarrod Washburn. Guillen said he wasn't being any more careful with Podsednik because of his recent adductor strain, but instead he was protecting a player who primarily uses his legs for success.

 

Podsednik reported no lingering effects from the slight malady in his left leg, and the recent statistics prove him right. The fleet-footed leadoff hitter is batting .343 (12-for-35) with eight runs scored over his last nine games. The White Sox have a 7-2 record during that stretch.

 

"The leg feels good, and I feel good at the plate," Podsednik said. "We accomplished what we wanted with the 15 days [on the disabled list] -- getting my legs back under me."

I wonder if Ozzie is going to let Pods face lefties in the playoffs or not.

 

yes. The sox will want to have their best players out there--offensively and defensively. Pods will play
