QUOTE (SpainSOXfan09 @ May 21, 2011 -> 09:13 PM) What about this? DFA Pierre and keep Lillibridge in left. Can´t be any worse and I really see some effort from Lilli this year on both the O & D sides of the house. Nobody's gonna DFA Pierre. It's not like he's hitting .180 like Dunn. I agree Juan has been a horrible acquisition for the Sox but the DFA won't happen.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 21, 2011 -> 09:11 PM) Nice to see Rios get a big hit, and PK continues to shine. As for Dunn, if he can't hit Garland and his 88 mph sinker, then there's a huge reason for concern. I'm not buying the appendectomy recovery excuse any longer. His bat speed is just non-existent. I'm glad Rios got the homer, but that last at bat puzzles me. Move the runner.

Bad at bat for Rios. Move the runner, sir.

QUOTE (SpainSOXfan09 @ May 21, 2011 -> 09:07 PM) I´ll have to say this about Lillibridge, it seems this year he is playin for keeps. His whole outlook and demeanor seem to indicate he has a lot more confidence. His outfield defense (especially his jumps on the ball) is really good. Anyone have a different opinion? He's definitely a guy easy to root for. He hustles. Plays great baseball.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 21, 2011 -> 09:02 PM) None of the above. I think he got completely out of rhythim by having the appendectomy right after the end of ST. Then, he came back too early and pretty much lost everything he built up in spring training. I think he's basically spent the month of May as if he'd been in spring training again. I just don't get how a guy his age would lose everything after being out a couple weeks. I mean all the BP these guys take. I respect your point but don't buy it. Or at least it's confusing to me. I mean how long does it take? A full month of s***tiness and he'll be OK in June? I hope so. Or bat him eighth the rest of the year.

If Adam Dunn wasn't making 14 million a year he'd be considered another Andruw Jones. Finished.

That inside heater woulda hurt. Way to get out of the way, Lexi.

Way to boo Juan with a 7-2 lead. Afternoon drunk dumbass I bet.

Dunn's hitting .193. Tell the truth. Did any of you think he'd be this bad? Do you think it's his weight? His attitude? Adjusting to the AL? Or age? I was excited when we got him. I thought he'd be the man.

Solo homers don't matter with a 7-1 lead, but it'd be nice to get some more runs.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 21, 2011 -> 08:46 PM) Show me proof that the NL is the superior league. I never said superior. I'm sick of people acting like any stats in the NL are worthless cause it's well, the NL. Oops solo home run.

That was Buehrle at his finest. Making Kemp lean and look sick on the weak pop to Rios.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 21, 2011 -> 08:42 PM) Your entire evaluation is based on 1 night? Noppe. I agree with the Grobber that the weak NL argument is weak, although Adam Dunn is making a good argument that the AL pitching is much better.

I see Dunn is 0-2 on a day paulie is 3-3. Hilarity.

Why does everybody act like the NL is such a dogs*** league. They go 9-5 again against AL last night. People act like the league sucks.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 21, 2011 -> 06:30 AM) I can't recall every pitch, so I dont know exactly what he threw him... Yeah, I'm mainly just frustrated and pissed. Sox were looking good and just gave that away tonight. After beating Cleveland two in a row, Indians pick one game up like that. Boom. You were at the game.... Were the people at the game surprised Paulie jogged to first on that final at bat? Maybe he was put to sleep by Adam Dunn's great at bats in front of him. -- Did you hear many negative comments in the stands about Dunn and Rios?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 21, 2011 -> 06:02 AM) Before today the guy was 7 of 53 with 2 HRs in his entire MLB career. Should he have pitched around him? He went after him and the guy got lucky. I'm not an expert, but how bout a nasty slider.

Sergio is one of my favorite players, but he's not automatic. He was not good tonight. Of course he'd have had an excellent outing had he had a better approach on that guy who homered. Sergio he swung as hard as he could and pasted your fastball. How bout the pitch you struck that first guy out on!

I don't understand the posters who want Lillibridge to start. Guys, he's not a starter in the big leagues. He's a damn fine utility player though.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 21, 2011 -> 04:50 AM) Who made the lineup. Did he bat himself 3rd. Or did someone else put him in that position. Ozzeroo. I said I was in favor of his ass getting canned a few weeks ago. The start we had this year, which killed any chances of winning the division, was unacceptable with our payroll.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 21, 2011 -> 04:47 AM) So looking considering Dunns struggles this year and the fact that a lefty was on the bump. Would you have bat him 3rd. Noppe. He should be batting eighth, but we have too many candidates for that. He is pathetic.

QUOTE (southsidepride15 @ May 21, 2011 -> 04:39 AM) Lol, just pisses me off. I love Paulie as much as the next guy, but damnit it hurts to watch anyone WALK out of the box. That was bad form. But speaking as another slow guy, sometimes it's tough to get that momentum going out of the box and you look like a galoot trying to get one's body motoring toward first. He did look like he was dogging it. If so, they should fine him.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 21, 2011 -> 04:35 AM) greg, I sense you crawling back to the dark side (ie: Ozzieworld). Who blamed Ozzie for Dunn? If you think Ozzie managed well the last 3 innings tonight, then we will never agree on anything. Ozzie seemed to quit on Sergio out there. See we look at things differently. As badly as Ozzie may have managed (I did call for his firing during that embarrassing,, pathetic stretch before the 9-3 run) tonight, I look at it as he managed us into two outs nobody on and one run lead in the bottom of the fricking ninth. Now whomever told Sergio to throw that pitch that that weak hitting bastard pounded into the seats to tie the game, I blame. You guys get into other Ozzie stuff. I have no beef with Thornton starting that inning. s*** Crain did the job. Then Sergio appeared to be notching another 1-2-3 save. We'd all have been pretty happy with the efficient victory. But ...

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 21, 2011 -> 04:29 AM) Well tip your cap to Ted Lilly. It was amazing how he worked us over with no command or control of his pitches. After a tough inning he started to go to two mediocre pitches and let the sox bats do all of the work. QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 21, 2011 -> 04:34 AM) Yup sounds good. Great first post. You post good stuff a lot. That is so true. Second post. My god. When are people on this board going to start blaming Dunn?? Is the guy ever going to do anything to win us a big game? f***ing ground ball in the 10th. 0-5. My god he is a worthless piece of dung.

Adam Dunn is a worthless piece of s***. But let's blame Ozzie for this one.
