QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 9, 2012 -> 08:21 PM) This kinda hits it. http://www.southsidesox.com/2012/8/9/32312...t-bench-players So the 2005 bench basically had 4 players with a higher OPS than anyone on the Sox bench (not counting Olmedo's 1-3)? I don't think anyone is asking for the Sox to go out and acquire superstars for the bench, but it sure seems like guys like Fontenot and Pierre would be significant upgrades over the players they'd be replacing on the bench.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 9, 2012 -> 08:13 PM) Sounds like Welke initially put his hands up to call it foul. PROTEST

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 9, 2012 -> 07:10 PM) Dirks rbi-double 3-2 I hate him...Tigers on their way to 8th straight game with double digit hits.

It just seems unlikely that KW is comfortable having to start Olmedo or Hudson probably once a week to cover for Youk and his injuries. I thought the last two games highlighted the need for an addition or two to the bench. Marty's probably the only person on this board that will agree with me, but getting someone like Pierre to play a few games in LF against tough righties would really help this team out. If this was last year, I'm sure Abreu would have been brought in and forced to play in the field.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 9, 2012 -> 08:03 PM) 2-2, Avila homer, no outs in the 5th Extremely deep lineup they have right now. Peralta's and Avila really playing well since the ASB. Also, Tampa seems rejuvenated with Longoria back. Their pitching since the ASB has been sensational.

QUOTE (robinventura23 @ Aug 9, 2012 -> 03:39 PM) Call up Dan Johnson, although I don't think he's on the 40-man. There's also Brent Morel and Youk can play first in PK's absence. Morel's not hitting anything in the minors either right now. I'd prefer C. Jackson get the call.

Some more information on the injury. Might be best to put him on the 7 day DL and get him back next Wednesday. Hope there are no lingering issues. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...,0,788300.story

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 9, 2012 -> 04:28 AM) That weak bench got us Youk, Liriano, and Myers. Yes, but you can't get complacent with an awful bench with the hope you won't have to use the guys often. The time is now to get someone useful off of waivers in case an injury takes place after August ends. Youk seems like he's going to have to be benched at least once a week. If they do DL PK, I wonder if they call up Wise or CoJack?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 9, 2012 -> 03:11 AM) How many AL teams have great benches? If the Sox come up short, it won't be because of a weak bench. They might not have great benches, but the Sox bench has been almost worse than you can imagine. Our non-core players of ADA, Youk, Beckham, Rios, Dunn, Konerko, AJ, Morel, Ramirez and Viciedo are: 86 for 439 (.196) with 3 home runs With Youk saying he's had lingering soreness in his knee, it's imperative they get someone that can back him up if needed.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 9, 2012 -> 04:04 AM) How did he get a concussion? Dyson accidentally made contact to his face on a grounder last night. I'm sure greg will suggest a lie detector test for Dyson.

13 runs in 6 home games vs KC this year

Supposedly Ventura announced in the post game that PK has a mild concussion. If they need to, Sox can put him on the 7 day concussion list. Kenny, get us another bat!

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 9, 2012 -> 02:51 AM) Losing 2 of 3 to KC at home is Pathectic! 25k at the game tonight...hopefully back over 30k this weekend

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Aug 9, 2012 -> 02:50 AM) well the royals will keep the white sox from the playoffs once again....that series was f***ing pathetic. It's way too early to say this. It's so much more likely the Sox playoff chances will be determined by the remaining 7 games against the Tigers.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 9, 2012 -> 02:49 AM) Cubans have been weak of late Viciedo down to .221 against RHP

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 9, 2012 -> 03:48 AM) 8 inning 5 hits no runs. Frame this Guthrie, it isn't happening again. Well, he might face the Sox 3 more times this year

Two meatballs for Alexei to crush that AB. Awful performance by the offense tonight. Please get the bench some help Kenny!

Alexei actually had a great pitch to hit there. He's been in a bit of a funk of late as well.

It's All Good...would be great to hear in about 1 minute

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 9, 2012 -> 02:43 AM) No chance for Youlk that ab. Nasty. I have no idea how people hit Holland.

Youk looked like crap tonight. Hope that knee isn't bothering him too much.

Nice swing by Dunn there. Give us a thrill Youk

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 9, 2012 -> 02:40 AM) That's what I was thinking. Love it I miss the "It's All Good"

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Aug 9, 2012 -> 02:36 AM) I don't think they were focused tonight at all, I guess they're looking ahead to tomorrow's off day

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 9, 2012 -> 02:34 AM) Anyone for an AJ 3-run jack? Need Holland to have bad control this inning and walk Dunn and Youk
