Is Ozzie on to something or is he just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic?

For those of us pining for fundamentals coaching like the Twinkies
it seems that their fans aren’t so high on the team’s defensive abilities either. The comments about their double play duo seem to echo a lot of sentiments about Cabrera and Uribe around here.
Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

How was AJ not on 2nd base on that hit?
He should’ve scored on that DP, instead he’s on 3rd now.

Anderson was shading him toward the line
and the ball had a spin on it such that it took a nice hop straight back towards him…
After AJ’s two double to right on Vlad the other night, I don’t think we should complain about his judgement

the ball bounced practically into the stands
and Anderson was leaning halfway over the rail. On top of that he throws LH, so he’d have to pivot to get the throw in – and on top of that he sucks and can’t throw.

But I would like the trade to be in KW’s favor. So hopefully Swish works through this and I could care less what the others do (not that it matters what they do at this point anyways).

Crazy game -
Syracuse scored 7 runs in the 6th inning and 9 runs in the 7th (off Egbert, Day, Oneli Perez, and Matt Anderson) en route to an 18-6 victory over the Knights.
Chris Getz went 4-for-4, connecting for his 5th homer and drawing a walk.

But I still think that Getz is a better option than Pablo Ozuna or Alexei Ramirez, at least in the short run.
Even Ozzie Guillen has seemingly recognized that those two aren’t providing anything right now.

Why rush Getz though?
I just don’t understand the immediate need for another mediocre second baseman.
Let him stay in AAA and try to figure out lefties a little.
The problem with this team is not Uribe, Ozuna or Ramirez. It’s Swisher, Konerko, and Thome.

Looks like it, at least somewhat.
He seemed to be alerting Contreras Hunter was off. Also, the Angels broadcasters said that Hunter stole one of his bases by running before the pitch this year, so perhaps Cabrera notified him to hold the ball for longer.
Or maybe it was all coincidental.

Angels broadcast booth:
“Here’s the better spot—Pierzynski hits a lot of flyballs, so it’s a difficult task to get him to hit the ball on the ground. Quentin, a little bit more of a younger hitter, not as disciplined as Pierzynski is. It’s the right move.”

Easy to question in retrospect, but...

but a really odd kiss cam sequence. they went back to the same couple that must have been related or “just friends” like 3 times, stayed on an old couple way too long, plus some woman whose left profile was ok and then when she turned to her man showed a big surgical coverup of her right eye.
the last “couple” was hawk and dj. at first they didn’t realize it, then hawk did what could only be described as making out with dj’s temple. both of them turned beet red. dj looked really embarrassed. hilarious.
