I cannot wait to watch The Franchise the next few weeks.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 04:16 AM) For most teams it's probably not much, but this team, this franchise it's a factor. Agreed, especially after playing games in Boston and Detroit that were packed every night.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 04:05 AM) Just my opinion but the Sox just seems so much more relaxed this season. After last weekend, they could have rolled over tonight after 4-2. The RV factor? I think seeing a full crowd last night really pumped them up. I think it was Konerko that said he was very shocked by the size of the crowd.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 04:02 AM) My Lord we're gonna hear the hell out of that for weeks... As long as they're winning, I don't care what he says

Dunn looks great at the plate this series.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 03:50 AM) He was told Ichiro wasn't on the block though. I assume the price wouldn't have been expensive. I kind of get the feeling Ichiro wasn't on the market for anyone, basically he wanted to go to the Yanks and that is where they sent him. Yep, but for KW to inquire about an outfielder, it seems like he COULD be considering bigger deals with Viciedo involved in them.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 03:48 AM) Why do we have Brett Myers in our bullpen? Okay...well, maybe it's better to get some confidence back in Nate's thought process, because he might need to replace Crain again. MATT THORNTON, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, GET A LH BATTER (Morneau) out. Doumit's a switch hitter who looks like Seann William Scott. Or is it William Sean Scott? Whatever, get him out. Morneau has been horrible vs LHP this year.

Hell of a performance by Nate Jones tonight!

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 02:43 AM) I proposed to my friend, who is a brewers fan, a Weeks for beckham swap. What say you, soxtalk? Brewers would have to pay most of Weeks' salary. I think Weeks will hit better the rest of the year though, but Beckham is the superior defender.

Of course now he tries to pull the outside breaking ball.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 03:41 AM) Did he try to or was it still that he just inquired? Inquired, which means he was possibly looking for another outfielder.

A very underrated story on soxtalk the last 24 hours is that KW tried to acquire Ichiro.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 03:38 AM) the marlins and brewers have lf/rf covered though Marlins could use another corner outfielder.

Get ready for a sac fly to the 2nd baseman. Actually, I'm confident he'll hit the ball hard somewhere.

Can Flowers get the non-homer RBI????

Tank!! What an inning

Konerko doesn't score even if he kept running. Come on Tank, hit one into the bullpen in right field.

I completely disagree with having a runner for Konerko now. It's much more likely he bats in the 9th.

Wow, thought that was gone off the bat. Great swing by Rios

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 02:30 AM) He still went 6.1 innings, giving up 4 runs. That isn't bad. He was also cruising up until the 5th. He's approaching highs in innings, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if he tailed off, but It would be ignorant to say that is what we should expect. We knew we weren't going to get a 2.2 ERA all year. Dude didn't have his off speed stuff going and battled through. And let's face it, he got beat by one of the best hitters on the planet against LHP.

Ok, those were just filthy 2 strike swings by our 3/4!

That wasn't even a terrible pitch on Dunn's homer.

That made an incredible sound off the bat

DUNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE (southsidepride15 @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 02:25 AM) Hawk better be careful here...he may end up sitting with the commish and JR again. Well, Bud does say that fans have no desire for instant replay.
