It's so hilarious that, at this point in the season, OC is universally loathed, and Linebrink's contract is the absolute least of our concerns.

 

I'm not so sure about that...OC isn't a big concern right now because he's starting to hit. There are FAR bigger black holes in this lineup to sweat over...

Loogy versus Thome. This should be interesting.

 

 

He reminds me so much of late 90's Ugeth Urbina. Fastball that moves on a horizontal plane - totally unpredictable.

2001-3 Dotel was about as unhittable as anyone while he was toiling as a set-up man in Houston. They had Lidge, Dotel and Billy Wagner.

Its really sad when the least productive part of your lineup starts with the heart of your order.

 

 

Trying to pull that 3-2 slider....he's so much better when he looks the opposite way.

that bullpen was crazy. i remember a game where their starter got hurt in the first inning and their bullpen pitched a no-hitter

Alexei Ramirez has more homers this year than Delmon Young, Victor Martinez and Joe Mauer combined.

Pathetic...nice that these righties know he throws a low and in slider.

Its time to bring fields up, I could care less if he Ks, the multimillion dollar thuds that are checking the backs of their cards K as well. At least he can hit lefties, and give us some power. This is sad.

 

 

 

realistically, if we draft a guy like smoak, alonso or wallace...that is a polished, fast track 1b...how long til we see him in the majors if all goes as expected? 2010? any hope for mid 2009?

He's hitting .231 with a .286 OBP with 2 homers and fanning 1 out of 3 ABs vs. AAA lefties this year.

Yep, put Konerko on the DL and bring up Fields.

2010 would be my guess

Fields needs to be up, for the very reason that he would be a real asset to our bench.

Hawk would have been OK with the call either way there he says. Why don't I believe it.

Who would you rather have in the Sox lineup....PK or Fields?

2010 would be my guess

was it zimmerman who came up the year he was drafted?

bad memory of the last time dotel faced blake in cleveland

Konerko. Where you going to play Fields?

Might have been...but I think it took a guy like Braun 1 1/2 yrs to be on the big league team.

Fields also didn't play today, I would suppose its to take it easy after his injury. So its not like you would be bringing in someone 100% healthy.

Konerko. Where you going to play Fields?

 

?

WTF? Come on. Gotta get an out there.

Damn it, I have a sinking feeling that is going to cost us...

Well, that was awful. Stupid decision by Dotel, and I have no idea how Ramirez dropped that ball.
