I really like Swisher, but man I'd prefere Ryan Sweeney out there. Actually I would've prefered Torii Hunter but that didn't happen.

Could Sweeney play first?

Hawk would totally give a BJ to Gomez.

Excellent play by OC. Much better defense so far tonight.

Beautiful play OC.......

Fantastic play by OC. I'm somewhat confused as to why his name keeps being mentioned in trade rumors.

Great play right there by OC, he had not time to f*** around.

Cheers to OC. I think he gets a bad rap. I don't really care about clubhouse stuff -- unless he's drugging Paulie.

Simply put, the organization despises him.

Why the heck did they trade for him then?

Would?

Some things you can't tell until he's calling your press box complaining about errors.

They bought into the hype?

big game gavin

 

has a nice ring to it

Watching Livan pitch I wonder how he's won a game this year. This guy is brutal.

Nice call /green

The guy's been around the league for quite a while. You'd think the word would be out on his clubhouse attitude.

For all the Konerko apologists could you imagine if Manny or A-rod were putting up Konerko numbers this year? They would be roasted.

I'm not sure why you're comparing Konerko to two future HOFs. Maybe both top-10 all time right handed hitters. He's never been as good as those two. Still, I'm surprised he hasn't gotten more heat.

 

Was that a strike? Nice sell job by Swisher, at least.

Ozzie needs to get tossed. That's 3 awful calls against the Sox tonight.

Well, the Red Sox didn't seem to be in any rush to keep him.

cmon fields

This game has the feeling of being one of those "3 runs on 14 hits" type of games.

Nick Swisher strikes out on more pitches off the plate than any player I've ever seen. It seems like half his K's this year have been on pitches 2-5 inches off the corner.

Was that situational hitting for the sox!!!

Wtf was that by Fields? Love it.

Has anyone figured out yet why Alexei is still hitting so low in our batting order?

Hit-and-run? Excellent call by Ozzie. I think the idea of making Fields focus on contact is brilliant. OC's got to avoid the double play.
