What are the odds Ozzie has someone warming up?

Great to hear Hawk ripping on Peavy. Looks like Peavy hit the wall yet again.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 14, 2011 -> 01:49 AM) Jake Peavy is throwin meat up there, folks. He doesn't fool many hitters the second time through the lineup.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 14, 2011 -> 01:47 AM) Man, did Omar even try on that throw? His effort this week has been awful

Terrible throw by Flowers, terrible effort by Omar to block the throw.

Sick play by Escobar. He's a hell of a fielder.

Why is Morel swinging like he has an 0-2 count on that pitch? Just a terrible baseball IQ at the plate.

Carlos hurt?

Well, at least we have that guy. That was beautiful!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 14, 2011 -> 02:24 AM) I wonder why the Sox can't hit in the Cell any more. Even against total hacks like Chen and Hochevar. Just look at the players we're putting out on the field. In tonight's lineup, realistically only Konerko, Alexei and Quentin would be starting on a real good team.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 14, 2011 -> 01:16 AM) Playing 1b? Oops...my bad

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 14, 2011 -> 01:56 AM) The sad thing is with the dollar situation on the south side for next year, I could see Z on the sox next year with the cubs picking up ass loads of the deal or taking someone like Rios to get him away from the cubs. Absolutely

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 14, 2011 -> 01:11 AM) He literally has no choice tonight. Rios?

Hey Ozzie, you idiot...stop playing Lillibridge against RHP. This lineup is such a joke, and we actually have to start facing good teams against next week.

Hochevar getting away with a ton of hanging sliders. Morel has to put a more dangerous swing on a 2-1 pitch than he did there.

Peavy does not look comfortable at all on the mound. Very odd reactions by him out there.

Just like that, Tigers are up 6-5. Must be nice to have an explosive offense.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 14, 2011 -> 01:48 AM) Chen is a gimmick pitcher. We've always struggled with those types. No reason not to serve Hochevar this night. Have you seen this horses*** lineup we have out there tonight?

How do you not put on a hit and run with Omar up and Juan on base?

This Inside Look with Mark Buehrle is awesome television

Brenly with some amazing jabs at Z tonight

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 07:38 PM) Dunn HAS to be benched, but this lineup proves it's just not our year. Oz doesn't get it. Omar cannot play. This lineup tonight sucks. It'll take some long balls from the usual suspects to win. Three or more long balls. We're gonna lose another series to KC. Amazing. Something that's ridiculous is that De Aza looks like he could be a very good #2 hitter. He hits a ton of grounders between first and second, which is exactly what you want. I guess Ozzie has too much respect to bat Vizquel down in the lineup.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 08:03 PM) Here we go . . . More wrong guy is playing stuff when the problem is one of quality not choice. Thing is, Beckham is better against righties than lefties. Ozzie I'm sure has no idea of this.

So Dunn's just flat out benched? With the nasty sinker ballers we're facing next week, I'd rather pray he starts seeing the ball a little better. Anyone that thinks we can still make the postseason with this type of lineup is wrong, IMO.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 05:31 PM) Fathom, The fact that people consider De Aza a better option against lhp when Rios has been doing well this season and arguing that Ozzie shouldnt have started him last night. Im critical of Ozzie when he makes (imo) a bad decision, but this is just grass is always greener stuff. Id love to see any stats where De Aza is better than Rios against lefties. Milkman, That was more drunk posting than hyperbole but even drunk I can read stats. Fair enough badger...I have no problem with Rios starting against a LHP at home either.
