6/25 vs Those Goddamn Canadians

[Station 13]

Nice hitting by Nava there. He will grab bench for a f***ing headcase later on.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Not to Punto fine a point on it, but that guy has to go.

[redsoxbeatz]

No need to worry about being down by 4 or less runs against the Jays pitching.

[redsoxbeatz]

I'd rather bring Iglesias up right now even though he isn't ready. At least we could see defensive porn.

 

if only.

[KCBRUIN]

I hate that MLB.tv is behind the real feed. You guys are always an out ahead of me.

Hey-o!

 

But seriously folks...

[FredLynn]

He is injured. Also, he wouldn't play regularly up in the ML, and he needs reps.

[Youk Of The Nation]

I prefer offensive AND defensive porn.

 

Wait...are we talking about baseball?

He's rehabbing in Lowell, I know's he's not ready...that's how much Punto sucks.

I wasn't no.

[redsoxbeatz]

20 less pitches than his competitor, didnt see that coming after the 1st inning.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Punto is beyond "suck". I guess we deserved it though. After snagging Ortiz from Minnesota the Sox kind of deserved it. I'm still waiting on Seattle's revenge for the Slocumb thing.

[jung]

White Sox are down 3-0 to the Twins in the 3rd. Chicago does not have a hit yet. So I assume Youk did not have one of those memorable first AB's.

I would prefer someone like Nate Spears to Punto. He is a career .270/.759 minor league player. Only .231/.698 so far this year..but is anyone worse than Punto out there?

[jung]

Give me a grandma with a walker over Punto.

[Youk Of The Nation]

I wasn't no.

 

Exactly. Sex should always be both offensive and defensive. Violence without defense is unfair and defense without violence is silly.

 

Now, baseball!

 

I agree that Punto should go but bringing up an injured rookie to replace him would be stupid. You'd risk ruining a potential star just to rush him to fill a sucky guy's spot. There has to be someone in the big leagues now who can replace Punto but not suck quite as much.

 

I miss guys like Rob Mackowiak. Career utility guys that you could count on for a little pop now and then. Nick Punto has about the same number of career home runs as Carlos Zambrano.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Actually, you know who I miss? Nick Green. That guy was decent for the Sox when they needed him. Much more useful than Punto.

ground out to short.

And he banged Heidi Watney, for sure.

[KCBRUIN]

I miss healthy Nomar it's been crap at short since.

[SemperFi Sox]

I miss lugo

Shouldn't we start a separate thread to examine the phenomenon of "Sex as it Relates to Baseball"?

[Youk Of The Nation]

I miss healthy Nomar it's been crap at short since.

 

To this day I am of the opinion that they should have given Renteria one more year before getting rid of him. Offensively, he was not bad and probably even would have improved, and defensively I think he would have reverted to normal from the mess he displayed in '05. I think they were too quick with the hook.

[Cocos Disciples]

I miss Valentin, Nomar, Cabrera, Renteria, Gonzalez, Lugo, Gonzalez again, Lowrie and Scutaro.

 

Good that just about covers the shortstops I've seen.

[SemperFi Sox]

Should have had it

[Youk Of The Nation]

Not to mention all of the fill-ins. Green, Graffanino, Reese, who am I missing?

[KCBRUIN]

We are playing the Jays. We can start with the Skydome couples

I always figure the first year switching leagues was always going to be a down year.
