QUOTE (Caesar @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 08:40 PM) No. He just sucks Yep, he's just a bust.

0-6 from the bottom 3 in the lineup so far. Beckham has no confidence at the plate. Hopefully Fontenot is acquired in the next 24 hours.

What the hell type of swing was that by Flowers? Like he was guiding the bat to try and hit the ball foul to right field. The Sox really need to bite the bullet and end his era here.

Flowers doesn't look comfortable swinging at all.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 08:33 PM) I'd prefer Humber take a vacation. I think we all would, but it's clearly obvious the other 5 starters can't handle the workload of a typical 5 man rotation right now.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 08:32 PM) This is the inevitable result of the fact that "being surprisingly good" has caused us to skip the rebuilding season of the rebuilding process. As well as how stupid the decision making with Sale was last year

Nice job limiting the damage. Still want to know why Dunn acted so shocked that Bourjos was bunting. Maybe Tyler can run into one here and tie it??

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 07:30 PM) Six starters is a horrible idea for a team in a pennant race. We have two starters in Q and Sale who look to have hit the wall. It makes complete sense right now. The problem is that Hudson is an absolutely waste of a roster spot.

QUOTE (Caesar @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 07:29 PM) You just contradicted yourself. The quality of arms...with so many question marks in the rotation, I don't fault them for going to the 6 man right now. That should resolve itself soon hopefully.

QUOTE (Caesar @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 07:28 PM) Williams dropped the ball. He left this team short on the bench and in the bullpen. Bullpen will be fine, but keeping 6 starters on the roster has thinned out the bullpen big time.

Much rather walk Trout to set up the possible double play against Hunter.

Hey Adam, they're bunting here!!!

QUOTE (Caesar @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 08:24 PM) 2 on nobody out. Just like us last inning. Lets see what happens. If they bunt him over here, you have to walk Trout.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 08:23 PM) Not like we have someone who's a better hitter than him waiting in the wings to take his place... Then you go out and pick up a waiver claim that can at least hit over .230 against RHP. It really shouldn't be that hard.

Wow Dunn, you've got to get in quicker than that!

Izturis hitting over .320 in his career vs the Sox.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 07:19 PM) Tank needs to start hitting ASAP.. He has been brutal lately You can't keep waiting around for him to snap out of it though when you're in a pennant race. If the Sox were well out of the race, then of course you let him start for the rest of the year. His bat speed is awful compared to a few months ago.

QUOTE (Mr. Showtime @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 07:18 PM) Oye. Good opportunity and cannot score. It's amazing how much worse the lineup is without AJ in it to balance out all the righties at the bottom of it.

Just an awful approach by Viciedo. Why is he still playing against righties? Sox now 0 for last 9 with RISP

Lillibridge is 0-3, 3K

Damn, he had a great pitch to hit there and just didn't barrel it up

Here comes the Multiview jinx

2 on, no outs for Rios after another good AB for Konerko. PK's done a good job of not jamming himself today.

Get someone on for Rios here!

QUOTE (Caesar @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 07:58 PM) He needs his rest. Could have got his rest on Tuesday and Thursday
