QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 02:02 AM) Especially after the long top half. Especially how he's fallen apart all year late in games.

Bad at bat by Konerko...thinking too much at the plate.

PK got a meatball, but had a weird approach on the 3-1.

Who's got the 7th for Sox?

Hell yeah Juan!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 01:55 AM) Only way you get 1 run is on something like an infield single or wild pitch. Normal single gets 2. Not if it's a rocket hit to Markakis

There we go Morel! Come on Juan, flip one down the RF line here.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 01:50 AM) watches 89mph go down the middle He better be on the bench when we face 2 lefties this weekend.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 01:49 AM) They have to start somewhere. Look at what the Rays were able to do in the AL East. I'm not guaranteeing the Royals will start making the playoffs in the next couple years, but would it surprise me? Hell no. KC has no prayer of making playoffs until they get some pitching.

Just have to get the guts to bench Dunn. These at bats are terrible

Nice to see some better swings by Rios. Here's where we need Mr. OPS to draw a walk.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 01:39 AM) Thought we had KC on the road, then CLE and TEX at home??? I hope that's right, I will be at the Friday and Saturday games in KC. Home this weekend

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 01:38 AM) You're looking at that anyway... If the Sox had won tonight and tomorrow, I think we would have drawn well this weekend. There was actually a ton of positive buzz in Chicago the last few days.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 01:38 AM) Salvage the series? Yeah, a split here would be highly disappointing, especially after winning first two.

11 fly balls for the Sox tonight. Looks like we're going to have to beat up on Tillman tomorrow to salvage this series and have some momentum for Friday. A loss tomorrow, and you're probably looking at a half-empty Cell.

Omar's OPS hovering around .300 now since the ASB.

We are a better team with Dunn on bench

I pray we don't bring back Omar

If KW goes into next year with Peavy and Humber in the rotation he better have a good 6th starter

Get the feeling Humber is out of gas this year.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 12:21 AM) what happened to Humber? Hit the wall physically and mentally maybe? Self-fulfilling prophecy, it would seem.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 09:26 PM) Why is Omar second bad? He's a seasoned player who can do a lot of good things with his bat. Omar looks done with at the plate. He's struggled to do anything productive at the plate for a while, and don't see the point in him being so high up in the order.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 07:55 PM) If teams were willing to trade prospects for him 10 days ago, they such as s*** are going to claim him for nothing other than his contract. Yes, maybe 4 or 5 teams...not every team like Jenksy mentioned. What does he have, like 14 million left on his contract?

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 07:25 PM) He'd be blocked by every s***ty team and never get the chance to get a return. Doubtful, as that's a lot of money for a 35 year old set-up man.
