fathom Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 04:58 AM) BTW, Juan Pierre's OPS is now under .600. Yep, lost in the drama of this game is the continued struggles of Pierre. I truly feel like his pink slip day is coming soon, and I would point to maybe after next weekend after the Cubs series?? As for the game, someone elsewhere said to not let losses bother you until this team is .500. Pretty good philosophy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty34 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 11:57 PM) Teahen is just not a good option out there on the field. He really isn't, no matter where you put him. And that's not a good label for a guy whose supposed value is his "versatility" in the field. The error here in this inning is clearly on Alexei, but we all know that a good first baseman probably picks that one. Ugh. It was a tough hop, not a short hop. A very good first baseman might make that play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapzk Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Applaud the effort by the team. Tough to lose this one no qs, but atleast we battled, error hurts for sure. Well atleast I guess we didn't lose any ground on the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Indians were still playing .600 ball, I would have turned off this game hours ago. Alas, we are still right there in this horrible division.

kitekrazy Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 10:58 PM) 4 unearned runs thanks to that brainless play from our "gold glove" SS This is where the Sox meet epic fail when it comes to being a good team. When one wets the bed they all do. They need to overcome mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Good teams aren't 4-7 in extra innings. Good teams win the 1 and 2 run games 65-75% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 The Sox need to start finding ways to win extra inning games at home. I believe we've only won one all season at home? 1-4 or 5 maybe? Still amazes me that we're not that far out of first, so hopefully we keep our interleague streak alive tomorrow and Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the game, someone elsewhere said to not let losses bother you until this team is .500. Pretty good philosophy I think the combination of Juan not making some sort of amazing turn around before the end of that Cubs' weekend (somewhat unlikely, at this point), coupled with the Viciedo bypassing his year of eligibility for free agency by being brought up so late in the season, makes your prediction of Pierre's demise that much more realistic.
