Bad route by Wells there...gives Rios the gift hit.

 

Viciedo only 2 points behind Dunn in the batting average department.

Hawk still yammering about payback for the hard slide last night. If you'll notice, Alexei didn't trying anything sliding into 2nd today.

 

That's because Alexei gives 0 f***s about Beckham.

RISP...

Walking Konerko makes way too much sense. It takes 3 singles to score him, what are the odds of that happening?

 

HAH. ONLY TOOK TWO.

Good job AJ, on the single and forcing a run down!

RBI single, AJ distracts and gets the throw cut off, when Paulie probably would have been out at home.

Gift run there, Konerko had at least a 50% chance of being out there on that play if it wasn't cut off.

 

25 RBI's for AJ already.

What are our base runners doing!!! :):)

I coudn't believe Joe sent PK. Thought he was dead at home for sure. Don't know why they cut that throw, but I'll take it.

Beckham is clearly looking to go to the right side now on nearly every pitch.

 

That's resulting in opposing pitchers throwing inside on him...Gordon has to learn how to turn on those pitches again.

 

It's one thing to look up the middle or just to make solid contact, but limiting yourself to 1/3rd of the field (where it's very hard for you to drive the ball out), not such a good strategy. Gordon out-thinking himself again.

 

 

Apparently, Mike Scioscia inquired about Beckham (with Ed Farmer) and wanted to know the backstory about his personality and make-up...said the Angels would be interested in acquiring him.

 

I don't know why they'd want him.

 

And Beckham hit a double to LF last night, that should probably scare them off of living on the outside part of the plate. I'd rather see him looking to RF and adjusting rather than just pulling everything.

Alexei was only halfway to second base....

Hawk said PK ran through stop sign

Konerko runs through Super Joe's stop sign but scores on AJ's hit.

I'm sure a lot of teams think they can fix him. Hopefully KW will consider all options and possibly trade him for another talented player who might need a change of scenery (ie: a greater version of the Stewart for Colvin trade).

If PK was player-manager, would he fine himself?

I wonder if a Pedro Alvarez for Beckham type deal could happen.

I've absolutely been thinking that, and I'd be all for it. Only issue is Pirates have Walker at 2nd base.

Beckham can go back to 3b!

Sale!

If he can be fixed, it's gotta look bad for the GM to trade him and have him be fixed.

Come Sale away with meeeeee...

I think they would try him at SS

It happens...as of now, it doesn't look like he's going to be fixed in a Sox jersey. They've given him every chance to succeed, and he hasn't yet. Hopefully this is a mute point come the end of the year and he's a fixture in the Sox organization.

Chris Sale is the best Sox starter since McDowell. There, I said it.
