QUOTE (Baron @ May 29, 2013 -> 08:44 PM) Ok great were not even close to the trade deadline yet. I know your anxious to strip the team down and suck for as long as possible. I've actually said there's no reason they can't be competitive again in 2015 or so.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 29, 2013 -> 08:42 PM) So you would keep Peavy and Rios and Crain in an effort to win 81 games? I'm not saying the Sox MUST make trades. I'm saying they should listen and if the deal makes sense, you do it. Well said, none of us are advocating the stupid trades from 2007 where they basically gave up someone like Iguchi or in 2009 when they gave up Thome for nothing.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 29, 2013 -> 08:42 PM) I'm not saying the Sox MUST make trades. I'm saying they should listen and if the deal makes sense, you do it. The market for Peavy seems like it will be great, especially if someone like Feldman or Garza (with no years left on their deals) are considered two of the top players that will be available.

QUOTE (Baron @ May 29, 2013 -> 09:39 PM) How about hell no. Christ some of you guys I'm just glad dont have control of the ship. Stay as far from a baseball organization as possible. If they're out 10-13 games at the deadline, there's no reason for them not to look into trading some of the players on this team. There's no award given to a team for winning 78 games as opposed to 72.

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ May 29, 2013 -> 09:37 PM) He looks soft out there. Against the Angels (2x) and here today against the Cubs. They're trying to make him a 3 or 4 pitch pitcher instead of just working off of his fastball. His secondary pitches need a lot of work to even be considered average. That's one of the biggest reasons I hope he gets back into the rotation to work on those pitches and gain valuable experience.

QUOTE (Baron @ May 29, 2013 -> 09:36 PM) They've gotten better pitching and hitting....normally you win games when you have those two. Both teams are very similar this year.

Great, now those 2 runs credited to Santiago will be used by people on here to point out he should never start again

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 29, 2013 -> 09:33 PM) When Sox are the only team in AL with OBP under .300 you are not going to score much. Yet Ventura thinks it's far too early to make any changes to the lineup.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 29, 2013 -> 09:32 PM) This team is pathetic.. We are playing the damn Cubs for christ sake Our run differential is 13 worse than them. Both teams have really good starting pitching, but I wouldn't include Danks in that right now.

So Santiago is used as a long reliever that isn't trusted to get righties out now? What a waste.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 29, 2013 -> 08:29 PM) Easy out at 3rd. Sox are playing so timid today.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 29, 2013 -> 09:26 PM) This guy has hit 2 offspead pitches for home runs. Why did he not throw a fastball when he had 2 strikes on him? Why did he not throw a fastball when it's a plus-plus pitch and the rest of his pitches are mediocre?

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 29, 2013 -> 09:25 PM) jesus christ santiago, let the fatass hit. He pitches scared. Yep, he needs to challenge hitters more and not try to get too cute with his pitches.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 29, 2013 -> 09:23 PM) I would go down to the local trophy shop and order up a plaque for him and Kenny. And Ozzie, as his decision to not bring back Thome caused the chain reaction that led to the Sox bringing in Dunn.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 29, 2013 -> 09:20 PM) I hope they let Dunn go for the record this year. He has a shot at 2. The worst batting average for a qualifier, and the strikeout record. Anything to hopefully make him retire!

I really hope Viciedo learns how to hit RHP and soon. It will end up being a liability in our division if not.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 29, 2013 -> 08:12 PM) Go away Adam Dunn I have no idea why he's playing today, as Konerko's actually had a lot of success against Feldman.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 29, 2013 -> 08:08 PM) His last HR he pulled a pitch up and away. Generally that would be a flyout or you would roll it over. Today it was a pop that somehow stayed fair and drifted out. True, today was definitely a day where you would have liked the wind to be blowing in.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ May 29, 2013 -> 09:05 PM) So you're leaving out Konerko or Dunn . I would think Dunn against a lefty then. Konerko at 1b vs LHP

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 29, 2013 -> 09:03 PM) You mean 3rd? Ha, yes

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ May 29, 2013 -> 08:00 PM) Very disappointing AB by Rios. Rios is now 2 for his last 21, and has become more pull-happy than he usually is.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ May 29, 2013 -> 07:57 PM) A who's expense though ? Viciedo has to face lefties. Dunn ? DH Viciedo, play Wells in LF

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ May 29, 2013 -> 07:54 PM) Wells should have tagged up on that I still want to know how Keppinger didn't get to first on Flowers' base hit in the 2nd.

Sorry Danks, not facing a AAA team today. His stuff is just not very good, which is no surprise based on his minor league outings.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 29, 2013 -> 07:44 PM) I want Jordan Danks back up. For what reason exactly?
