Crain was very good tonight also.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 12, 2013 -> 02:51 AM) Here come the Tigers. With Jacob Turner looking like a bust candidate, that trade for Sanchez and Infante looks incredible for them.

I miss Konerko's bat speed. Maybe he'll like hitting in Baltimore better when he gets traded there in 2 months

QUOTE (Jake @ May 12, 2013 -> 01:42 AM) IIRC, he has presided over us going from worst to not quite the worst. We're trending upward. We're just about the worst, and this year hasn't exactly gone well so far for our minor league system. I don't think he was hired with the thought of having "just about the worst". I see very little trending upward with the Sox farm system right now. This system does a good job of developing pitchers in the minors and preparing them to succeed in the big leagues. The downfall is that they couldn't develop an offensive player from the system if their life depended on it.

Oh Hawk, don't you know Rios has no opposite field power?

Amazing stat I heard today. The Brewers have faced 9 straight starting pitchers (in May) with an ERA below 3.0

Alexei just awful of late.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ May 12, 2013 -> 01:24 AM) Time for phegly Let Flowers continue to play this year and just get rid of him this offseason. There's nothing good that can come from sending him to AAA and HOPING that he can contribute at this level.

Jerome Williams had nothing on the mound tonight, and only gave up 2 runs (could have been zero easily if not for Greene's infield single).

Ventura just sitting around waiting for the long ball tonight. Even Stoney was begging for a hit-and-run with Konerko batting.

The 1,000th two-hopper to SS by Keppinger on the year.

Tank looks great since he returned from the DL. Screw it, bat him 4th.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 12, 2013 -> 01:08 AM) Who, Ventura, Greene or Flowers, lol? yes

Konerko's bat toss went farther than anything Dunn's hit today.

QUOTE (chisoxt @ May 12, 2013 -> 12:59 AM) Yes. The only drama at this point is how Hahn handles the sell off. I worry that it's just going to be a money dump with few legit prospects in return. If/when they trade Konerko and/or Thornton, they're not likely to get back anything but salary relief and a fringe prospect. Peavy and Rios are the two that could get you some actual contributors hopefully.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ May 12, 2013 -> 12:54 AM) Has the majority of you given up on the season? Serious question. It's just really hard to see how this team can overcome the talent gap between the Tigers and them. It's getting to the point where you just hope that Sale and Santiago stay healthy all season so that this year isn't a complete catastrophe.

Anthony Rizzo is going to be a monster for the Cubs, especially when the wind starts blowing out at Wrigley.

Dunn's OPS is worse than it was in 2011 right now.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 12, 2013 -> 01:38 AM) I know it probably won't happen, but I'd love it if Dunn would agree to some buyout just to get him to retire and we (and the world) don't have to watch him play anymore. I don't think it's out of the question that he'll retire after this season if this keeps up.

Another walk for Viciedo!

Pretty loud boos for Dunn. Can we dream of him retiring after this year?

QUOTE (MAX @ May 12, 2013 -> 12:22 AM) Is he really that slow? Why? I haven't seen much baseball this year due to work. He appears to be extremely slow, probably 3rd slowest guy in the lineup. Not sure if it's due to his injury in the offseason, but there's very little burst from him right now.

Haha, it's just one of those years.

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ May 12, 2013 -> 12:19 AM) And it was Pujols rumbling in from third hahaha...the man can barely trot right now. Still faster than Keppinger.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 12, 2013 -> 12:17 AM) Everytime the error kills the Sox and Flowers and the number of pass balls is beyond a joke. Hopefully this is the last year we have to see him on the Sox.
