About January, we'll miss these game threads...

Normally I'd agree with you...but I can't remember a September when I've been so totally unexcited.

Its like this every year we are out of it. People are just more drama queenie about it this year.

"Just lose, baby!"

Pierre, Ramirez, Konerko, Dunn, Viciedo, De Aza, Vizquel, Flowers, Beckham

 

 

 

 

You bet I'll be missing baseball come January, hell if Ozzie leaves this COULD be one exciting offseason

I bet Adam "Babe Ruth" Dunn hits two bombs tonight.

Its like Thome never left...

Please answer me the question "can Juan Pierre steal a base anymore." Thrown out Sunday and again tonight after leading off with a hit

Is Axelrod someone I should be excited about?

You know I am not certain. This is only his second game with the Sox. He did pretty fair in his first satrt, but until there is some positive history it's always a crap shoot in my opinion. Look at Stewart. Had a fanatstic one hitter, but really has been mediocre in his other starts

he seems very Buehrle like in his stuff, except right handed. Not much in the way of velocity, but depends on deception and spotting his pitches.

Steve Stone just said that Adam Dunn could win the comeback player of the year just by "coming back".

 

 

By the way, I'm not sure if Hawk has said it before, but the "Dunn is going to work hard and come back strong" talk from him just popped up last inning. I'm waiting for the first story in January about Dunn "hitting off a tee"

Things ain't looking good right now for Axelrod. Indians with a run in and bases full and no out

Oof. That's the Dayan defense that's been described so often to me.

That and the beginning of ST will be all positive and syrupy sweet about how he is ready to bang out the homers again, etc

Just lose baby. By the way, playing Omar over Escobar is just silly

Yep-went South in a hurry 4-0 Tribe

Be interesting to see if they bring back Omar or they make Escobar the platoon infielder in his spot. Omar will play somewhere I am sure

I don't think I'm excited about Axelrod.

Escobar can still benefit from another year at AAA

Good point. I seem to have read that Mr Rogers thinks Escobar gives the team more flexibility, but I woud really prefer the veteran presence of Omar on the team for at least one more year anyway. He is still pretty darn good with the leather

I've like Omar, but its time for him to hit the road.

Flowers has got to learn how to hit big league pitching. Maybe he and Dunn can work out together this winter. Otherwise that bat is going to keep him as a back up catcher

He's going to have to somehow make more contact, without sacrificing power.

 

I'd like to take a few cuts off Axelrod.
