This might be the hardest Buerhle's thrown in 4 years.

It's Mike Adams to Texas for Erlin and Wieland.

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 06:29 PM) Dunn looks done....a total platoon guy at this point. I'm sure our organization will make the right call about how to handle him.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 06:29 PM) I know it's a great gesture and I appreciate it, but I still say that statute sucks. It's like one of those Starting Lineups you didn't want and couldn't wait to trade.

Rangers get Heath Bell. Kenny, please sell!

It's just so brilliant to keep playing him against lefties. He really should be 0-71 on the season.

Alexei's really struggled since the ASB. Hitting a little over .200 with one XBH

Nice to see the Sox hitters being patient...not!

Verlander has a no-hitter thru 5. And it took Hawk one batter to same the word "Nintendo"

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 06:32 PM) Even with a weak lineup, with the way our pitching staff has performed over the last two months or so, we have definitely not won as many games as we should have. Last night was the first game since the ASB that we shouldn't have won.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 06:26 PM) They should absolutely be concerned with their rotation depth. If they don't deal for a starter, does this signal Sale moving to the rotation? For next year. Stewart would be the replacement this year, it seems.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 06:19 PM) folks have noted #reds top catching prospect devin mesoraco not in louisville lineup today. im told just a day off. Would the Reds have any interest in Matt Thornton? Just speculating, but we need a legit catching prospect, not a fringy guy like Flowers. No offense Joe, but do people even look at the other team's roster before making a trade proposal? Reds have Chapman and Bray, so they absolutely do not need another lefty reliever.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 03:25 PM) Agreed. A change needs to be made in this area whether or not Walk is the problem, this is LONG overdue. A new approach, a new thought process, a new something, to try and wake this offense up. We have too many guys struggling with talent to just pin it on them and wash our hands clean of the responsibility of their ineptitude. But that's what the Ozzie Guillen organization is all about- blaming everyone else but himself and his staff (with the exception of worthless platitudes/sound bites in the media of him "taking responsibility" which we all know is just lip service) :notworthy

Way to go Kenny!

Haha, shame on you Ozzie for rewarding Rios with another start.

Just trade him for someone else's bad contract. Jason Bay maybe?

Nice short swing by Lillibridge. Time to get him some starts Ozzie!

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 03:03 AM) No, but with those guys hitting about as bad if not worse than you could possibly think, they are still right there. Dump all the good players for mediocre minor leaguers and if you think this team is bad, you have not seen anything yet. But that's the thing..an average minor leaguer could probably put up the same numbers that Morel, Rios and Dunn have this season. And with Rios, it's not just that his numbers are bad, it's that he can't do a single freaking thing to help us in clutch situations.

Quite the exciting day for Indians fans.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 02:00 AM) Does a lineup with Rios, Pierre, Dunn, Beckham, and Morel/Vizquel scare you? And Humber/Peavy

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 01:56 AM) The Red Sox are currently taking BP at USCF and Ozzie is going to waste Thornton. And then watch him not use him tomorrow cause he can't go three straight games.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 01:55 AM) They are 3 out with a clean up hitter hitting .160. I'll stick with reality and say they have a shot. But they suddenly have the most fragile pitching staff in the AL Central between them, Tigers and Indians. When KW made the Jackson trade, I'm convinced he wanted to throw in the towel. However, in true KW fashion, he switched courses just because a few games.

QUOTE (Real @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 01:54 AM) Ozzie wasting Thornton. He truly has no f***ing clue how to manage. He's just a raging idiot. I can't wait to cheer against the Marlins next year.

Thornton warming up? Ozzie's such an idiot, just let Bruney suck it up out there.

Balta, here comes that 10 run offense
