QUOTE (Cali @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 01:10 AM) Recently? It 100% is. It was game over when Moustakis connected against KC. You could just feel it... As long as Rios and AJP are in the game, I have confidence they can produce runs.

Invisible bat swing...the offense needs someone to step up and get a big hit. They're missing the swagger they had from last weekend.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 01:08 AM) Yeah, his mental funks give me mental distress. You've said it before but he needs his parents to come to every fricking game to save their son's career. I will never say 'This game is Ova' in the third but I don't like our chances vs. former Sox McCarthy (cut Adam Dunn homer?) 3-1 in the 3rd is absolutely not "game over" territory. McCarthy on a pitch count tonight?

Youk taking some bad swings since his day off due to knee injury. Gotta get him going again.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 01:06 AM) Gordon should learn how to drag bunt more. He is so mediocre as a hitter it amazes me. You have to hope he doesn't fall into a mental funk batting lower in the order again.

Rangers up 2-0, Scherzer giving up a lot of base runners. Not gonna lie, it's been fun this week rooting for the superstars on the Yanks/Rangers.

Threw two of his best pitches of the game so far. Nice job by Cooper of settling him down. Hey Gordon, pretend you're leading off the game.

His mechanics are awful out there.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 12:51 AM) Uh, yeah I thought you were one of the few on here that wasn't a huge fan of his. It's pretty weird that it seems Wise would be a help to this outfield right now:)

Nice 2-2 fastball to a guy who can't hit an offspeed pitch. Gavin's lucky he didn't get hit there.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 12:49 AM) He's only 23 though Is that sarcasm?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 01:45 AM) I really hope they figure out a way for things to start clicking again for him soon. He looks mentally defeated at the plate. He swung at some pitches over the last week that were a good 18 inches off the plate, and immediately put his head down. You know my stance is that the Sox are being extremely stubborn with the bench right now and they can't let this offense continue to have so many easy outs in it. Danks has been terrible at the plate since the ASB as well.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 01:44 AM) lighter bat? softer swing? Do something Tank. It's just so frustrating that Konerko is out a week, as Sox have very little choice but to keep playing Viciedo. His swing is longer now than I've seen it in a Sox uniform.

Jeez, Danks making a ton of weak, first pitch outs. Thankfully Morel will be up soon to save the lineup

5-4-3 double play for Viciedo...just awful.

Stone pretty critical of Viciedo. Viciedo not even coming close to touching 91 mph fastballs.

QUOTE (Cali @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 01:35 AM) Freaking Go Away Gavin. Worst offensive team in the AL and they've Bugs Bunny'ing him... A's offense has been hitting a ton of homers though the last month, haven't they?

There's one...you're awesome AJ

It's really too bad they weren't able to unload Floyd at the deadline like it seems they were trying to. A's are just swinging the bats really well right now, and I don't think this Sox offense can keep up with them.

Calling up Morel would be so stupid. You can't have an entire bench full of defensive-oriented players, especially with Konerko missing at least 7 games. If they do call up Morel, they need to then get rid of Hudson. The bench has been a weakness all year, and with PK out, now isn't the time for KW to neglect the bench.

Just saw that Mike Aviles was placed on waivers. I said last week he would be an absolutely perfect fit for the White Sox bench.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 10, 2012 -> 08:06 PM) Usain Bolt beats records while cruising. Come on now. He is the fastest human being ever. Just WATCH him run when he's actually trying. His acceleration and top speed is unmatched by anyone ever. Yohan Blake is an incredible runner and Bolt makes him look like he doesn't have a chance. If he's in lane 5 last night, I think he runs even faster. He just flew past the guys in the lanes to his right so early last night. The most shocking thing to me is that the guy he passed right away actually got 3rd.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 10, 2012 -> 07:45 PM) Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan Konerko out of line up tonight, Rios batting fourth. That mean they're having Beckham bat 8th or 9th again?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 10, 2012 -> 06:19 PM) Hudson could play it just as well, or better. I don't think Hudson's ever played SS in his career.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 10, 2012 -> 06:59 PM) Honestly I'd rather see one of them up here versus Olmedo. I don't get what he is giving us, that Hudson can't. SS if needed
