That's why!!!

Wow. That had to hurt whoever caught that

Dunn!!!

Wow!!!!!!! That ball was hammered.

Not sure why Tigers didn't throw him a change-up, as that's been the pitch Verlander has hurt him with this year.

436 feet

Thank you Adam Dunn. I was going to say that even with an out he had a good at bat, but I will take the HOME RUN!

His last few ABs have been awesome long and a battle

I was thinking the same thing

it could get interesting in the central.

DUUUUUNN

I BELIEVE IN ADAM DUNN.

Even his at bats that haven't had positive results lately have been encouraging.

We're stuck with the guy, all we can do is hope he finds his sanity again and can do that 2-3 times a week and we'll take control of the division

Sit down fatass.

nice movement on the heater tonight

on replay, Dunn's eyes were closed.

Just saw the replay of Dunn's bomb....he freaking killt that ball!!!

It probably hurt him cause he hit it so hard

Hey so something good happened involving Dunn?

For 2 run bombs!

I've been asking this for a long time. And while I'm glad he hit a two run home run, it is bitter sweet because this secures the cleanup spot for him for the next month.

And hopefully he keeps earning it.

that was a strike

It will be hard to win it without him maybe this intense series will put a little spark in his play and he will come around (praying)

And it's gonna be possibly harder to win if he doesn't come around and Konerko continues to get nothing to hit because he is being protected by a guy batting half his weight.

nice AB Teahen.

This team is deathly afraid of adding on runs.

I seriously hope the post above is sarcasm.

leyland needs to light a smoke and STFU

Well we won't win it without him hitting the rest of our offense isnt consistent enough to make up for all of the holes we have so you roll the dice and hope he turns the corner especially with his last few at bats he is battling out there you have to give him that

so if de Aza is coming up, is Rios getting released?

I dream of a game where Adam Dunn hits three home runs. Please let that dream come true today.

That'd be a horrible move.

Gameday had PEavy throwing 94 against Betemit.

We need a gm with 2 before we can have a gm with 3 Lol

Rios isnt going anywhere unless he puts up a 1.000 ops the 2nd half and then gets traded. No way are the Sox just going to give up on him.

Keep this up Jake.

How? At this point it's a blessing noone is going to take his contract and it gets him off the field

I'll take two as well.

JFP dealing straight dirt.

JFP is looking nasty tonight. Made Avila look the foo

Why I'm not swimming in Bali in hopes that Jake Peavy's throwing 93-94-95 instead of 88-92, I'm not sure.

We've seen too many games start out with a 2 or 3 run lead, with zero added on later while the other team slowly pecked away...especially at Jake in innings 4-6. Crosses fingers.

We owe him $40 million. Rios' talent hasn't gone anywhere, he's just mentally screwed. I'd rather keep him and see if he can eventually turn it around than giving up on him right now.

Because more likely than not, if we release him, some team will pick him back up and I wouldn't bet against him having success elsewhere.

Its a horrible move because the Sox have to pay Rios full salary and get 0 return on it.

Its a better payoff to have him as an of sub and at least get something back, or what the Sox will do, hope he turns it around.

I posted in the De Aza thread

I think something happens with Lilli and DeAza and Rios platoon.

Also Dunn has looked really good since the KC series........

so maybe de Aza is going to be traded?

48 pitches through 3 for Jake. Bullpen needs to warm when he gets to 75.

Yay, let's get him in.

Cleveland down 2-0.
