Paulie, Paulie, Paulie

An interesting day in the life of a Sox fan. I'll start with the Tony Pena deal. If there is one thing that I know about Kenny Williams it is that I know absolutely nothing about what he will do, and I like that. I am probably one of the few who likes the trade, giving up highly touted prospect Brandon Allen. Obviously this trade alone is not going to win us the division, but I think any chance we have at bolstering our bullpen is worth taking. I am assuming that Gobble will be the one to go, and Pena can help solidify the seventh and eighth innings. I guess I was never as high on Brandon Allen as some but I think we got very good value for him.

Now to today's game. What a game for Konerko! Three home runs and seven RBI sounds pretty good to me. Buehrle pitched a pretty good game to validate his all-star bid.

Notes From Out of Left Field
  • What happened to the Poreda power fastball? He appears to be topping out at 92 mph from what I saw and the gun seemed pretty accurate.
  • The Hawk has upped the anty on his home run call, adding a "hell yea" after it.
  • Gordan Beckham utilized the off-day to get a much needed hair cut.
