QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 30, 2013 -> 08:34 PM) Valbuena with two near homers after going all May without a dinger. Valbuena has a higher slugging percentage than anyone in Sox lineup besides Rios.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 30, 2013 -> 08:33 PM) FIRE SOMEBODY I disagree with firing someone during the year, but if this entire coaching staff besides Cooper is replaced after this season, that would be a nice surprise.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 30, 2013 -> 08:33 PM) HORRID I wonder if they really will consider Konerko for manager after this season?

QUOTE (mike89128 @ May 30, 2013 -> 07:31 PM) This team has the fire of a 100 game loser. The pitching is too good for that to happen. 90 games would be more likely with this incompetent offense.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 30, 2013 -> 08:28 PM) They still ought to get the occasional offday. Rios playing 51 straight games is insane. Also considering he played in some intense WBC games as well instead of Spring Training

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 30, 2013 -> 07:17 PM) Nice AB Dayan. Nice series against the Cubs, yikes

Just get one in the air Viciedo

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 30, 2013 -> 08:14 PM) Rick Hahn is going to have to take a break from the nap he has been on since getting his job. Sarcasm? If true, I commend him for not going for it this season.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 30, 2013 -> 08:13 PM) And rios gives it right back. He's just awful right now trying to pull everything. He looks like he did during the WBC. He desperately needs a day off.

Flowers and his pitch selection is terrible. Not a single offspeed pitch was thrown to the bottom of their order. You can't just throw meatball fastballs to their pitchers.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 30, 2013 -> 07:05 PM) well, still haven't had a lead this week. The Cubs are a better team right now.

QUOTE (Jillian Michaels' Abs @ May 30, 2013 -> 07:05 PM) Ima go out on a limb here yous guys and predict a trade to the Orioles Jack Peavmann today. The idea of Peavy getting traded to a team that wants a starting pitcher down the stretch in a pennant race amuses me, but only due to Peavy's questionable ability to pitch in the clutch.

The Cubs have better hitting pitchers than the Sox have designated hitters. What a pathetic inning for Peavy.

I don't get why teams continue to let Miguel Cabrera beat them.

QUOTE (whtsoxfan @ May 29, 2013 -> 10:19 PM) Sox are good enough every year to give us hope and then screw it up in the end. They gave us hope this year ?

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ May 29, 2013 -> 10:14 PM) And no one has cried rebuild since the offseason. So not sure what you're referring to about May 29th. After July 25th, there should be no doubt as to whether or not this team will be buyers or sellers.

Kinda funny that Cubs now have the 4th best run differential in the NL.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ May 29, 2013 -> 09:03 PM) I keep hearing get rid get rid and doesnt mattter who we get back way too much from this supposedly knowledgeable Soxtalk crowd. Which player is this in reference to? Personally, it would be a selling low if they get rid of De Aza after this year. The problem is if the organization just doesn't trust him in CF and wants to keep Viciedo in LF. If you bring in someone like Granderson to play CF, then you can shift De Aza to LF.

Can they please send down Omogrosso and try someone else?

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ May 29, 2013 -> 10:01 PM) I'd love to see them not swing at every pitch like Little Leaguers. Lineup order means nothing now. Despite his ERA, Wood is probably the best match-up for the Sox tomorrow out of all the Cubs' pitchers. Wood doesn't throw nearly as many sliders/curves as their righty starters do.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 29, 2013 -> 08:57 PM) No he is cannon fodder and not needed after this year. His lack of progress from last year is very disappointing.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 29, 2013 -> 08:56 PM) I like it when they bring in ommogrosso. AAA caliber

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 29, 2013 -> 08:53 PM) Hack, hack, hacking lineup. I'd love to see them shake it up and move ADA down so he can continue to swing as aggressive as he has without his poor OBP hurting the team.

QUOTE (Baron @ May 29, 2013 -> 08:48 PM) I have no problem with what they are doing now. If were completely out of it during the trade deadline fine. But if we're in the position we are now late July its not going to happen. I don't disagree with anything you said there, and it's pretty much what I've been advocating for.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 29, 2013 -> 08:46 PM) If the Mariners can send down Ackley and Montero, the Sox can send down Tyler f-ing Flowers. Totally different situations, as those guys are long-term players for the Mariners most likely.
