I have to say this...Gio's start today might have been the worst I've seen against the Sox in a long time.

Funny you say that about milestones... I was thinking yesterday about when Kielty homered during the last weekend of the season to cost Buehrle 20 wins.

 

Yours are more depressing than mine.

yeah i agree....especially considering he was lucky to give up "only" 8 ....marquis during that cardinals series comes to mind...

I certainly wasn't impressed with his "stuff". Than again, I was never a huge Gio backer. Him, Fields, & Anderson were three prospects that I typically ripped. I always liked Sweeney (had doubts about him ever developing power but figured if he would he'd be an all star and if he didn't he'd be a solid player). Sweeney always reminded me a bit of Shawn Green.

Does that surprise you? :lol:

 

We'll always have 2005 though

If Sweeney could use PEDs or use an aluminum bat, he'd be a star.

Anyone else really excited about Paulie's resurgence? Getting him back is what will put the Sox over the top, imo. Its like they are going from the worst first baseman in baseball to one of the better ones (He's been looking pretty darn good, imo). Definitely looking healthy again.

nice to see the sox coming at cust with all junk after game 1

Nope, I'm annoyed he's doing well.

Wow, I've actually seen Javy throw some pitches inside today. Real shock that with him doing that he's given up 0 runs through 3/2/3's.

1-2-3

Nasty curve. This is awesome...Javy and Paulie getting there s*** together for the stretch run. Those two playing like they can is a massive boost and could make the Sox a world series caliber team.

 

Javy's a huge key to the stretch run and his performance today and in the last game is quite encouraging.

Hopefully Swisher can continue to slowly improve. He's easily been the biggest dissapointment of anyone on the Sox. I made a massive mistake when I thought he'd really improve moving from that pitchers park to the cell.

in terms of walk rate this has been konerkos best year...which is rather perplexing...im still disappointed in his power output though, but there are signs he is gaining it back

Only 3 teams in the AL have a negative run differential. That boggles my mind

Out of all the effects of a hand injury like PK has, loss of power would be the biggest.

And only the Cubs have a postive run differential in the NL.

going to try my hardest to make at least one of these games on the homestand coming up, and i will start the MVP chants if they aren't started already

 

i'm actually surprised they didn't start in the last home series

 

every CQ at bat needs MVP chants at home now

should be 4 by the end of this game...but that really tells you how well the AL played vs. the NL in interleague, the NL is such a joke...look at how well the guys who switched from AL to NL have done...i mean seriously that league is littered with players who are performing above average for their league, that got run out of the AL or were scrubs

Paulie just missed that. Still he's seeing the ball well and looks so much more comfortable at the plate. Griffey's going yard right here.

Might as well take Griffey out of the game, and give him half the game off.

404, humor not found.

Yep, time for BA.
