August 1, 200916 yr The 7th inning was one of the best of Ozzie Guillen's managing career. I'm still trying to decide if it was better then the suicide squeeze inning from the Cubs series.
August 1, 200916 yr Kenny should really be a seller and not a buyer. I mean, at the end of this weekend, we could be 7-8 ba......oh, we got Peavy? And we've one the 1st 2 against the Yankees? Oh, what, our offense looks like it has some life....? Nevermind.

August 1, 200916 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 08:47 PM) I LOVE speed. That 7th inning was so fun to watch. Sometimes, you have to force the other team's hand. It is a part of baseball and it was beautiful to watch. Had we not scored that inning I'd have been pissed cause Kotsay and Quentin had crushed it with two on and no one out and we had gotten nothing to show of it.

It is also the day I declare that I think the Sox are going to be World Champions this year. You're really asking a lot from Quentin, Pods, Peavy, Jenks and Linebrink for that to happen....maybe Pena can do a reasonable impression of Liney? It would be interesting to see if KW considers making him a starter again, like he was in the D-Backs organization b4 2006. But all those players I mentioned would have to stay healthy and/or really pick up their level of play. And we're sacrificing some games against tough competition (got lucky today with Mitre match-up) with those 3 fifth starter slots coming up. As far as our OWN division (and not all of MLB), I still think DET has to be considered the team to beat because of the acquisition of Washburn, who's ready to pitch for them NOW. And, if you look more closely at Thomas' numbers in RF this year, they're ALMOST as good as Beckham's, he's quietly had a very good rookie campaign...though I still think Romero, Andrus and Porcello are a little bit ahead of Beckham, who's gaining momentum fast. The Yankees' announcers mentioned Slayer for ROY, mentioned he was leading in RBI's, BA, SLG and OBP among all AL rookies. I guess Reimhold and Wieters in BALT could make some noise too.

August 1, 200916 yr BTW, not sure if it was mentioned here, but the White Sox traded for Jake Peavy figured it was worth mentioning
August 1, 200916 yr If you didn't see the game, it wasn't just the HR, but TCQ was hitting the ball hard all night. It really looks like he's about to go off 2008-style!
