Three good at bats for Teahen. Really hope he's given a chance to become the every day 3rd baseman.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 16, 2011 -> 01:48 AM) Battle back gordo Thankfully we got that 3rd inning rally started cause Tigers threw him a curve. He has no prayer against the Verlander fastball.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 16, 2011 -> 01:46 AM) Rios is going to become more unpopular than Pierre in time because there's just no light at the end of the tunnel. He already is

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 16, 2011 -> 01:44 AM) is he prone to friday night meltdowns? Oh yes...more Friday Night meltdowns than Jordan4Life trying to hit on Coco.

So I remember how there used to be a lot of discussion on here about Tosh.O, but that seems to have died down this year. Is there a consensus that this is a down season or something?

One inning closer to Sergio (even though it's a Friday night)

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 16, 2011 -> 01:38 AM) Although he ended up K'ing, that AB was probably better than 80% of Rios ABs this season What's he now, 2-32 with RISP and 2 outs this year?

Even when it looks like he hits a foul ball hard, it's still a very slow roller. Is he swinging a yellow wiffle ball bat that's painted black? He just kills this team with his lack of productivity.

Great play, but we'll take it! How about a wild pitch here?

Impressive takes by Konerko.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 16, 2011 -> 01:26 AM) no runs thru 5 for danks Viciedo's back and Phegley is 2-2

Hell of a play by Teahen there!

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 16, 2011 -> 01:12 AM) i don't mind the homer to one of the best hitters in the game. but it didn't have to be a 2-run homer. You also have to take into consideration how much Floyd struggles from the stretch.

He just destroys us.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 16, 2011 -> 12:58 AM) That hand position did nothing for him since like july of last year though. Screw it, let him try every style from Julio Franco's to Mickey Tettleton's. Until he gets better plate coverage, he's not going to hit anything hard with consistency.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 16, 2011 -> 12:54 AM) We need to make the third out soon....hate to have Floyd sitting this long and getting out of rhythm WTF?

Very nice swing by Carlos! Come on Rios, remember that you used to be a doubles machine.

Wow, didn't expect that to get past the infield. Way to go Dunn, huge hit!

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jul 16, 2011 -> 12:25 AM) im sure thats exactly what it is he wasnt pujols, jeez He kinda was last year

I eagerly await Dick Allen posting the "2nd half comeback" remarks about Dunn and Rios.

These might be my favorite words ever spoken by Ozzie. Very articulate, very accurate http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0,7626768.story

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 15, 2011 -> 09:04 PM) Buster Olney: If they get a high-end starter..... eek. It's very likely they acquire one of the better pitchers or a third baseman like Mark Reynolds. I can't see them trading Turner, but Oliver seems like a great trade chip to use.

brian, to clarify, Heyman said Sox are taking calls on Jackson and Braves are taking calls on Lowe.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 15, 2011 -> 09:53 PM) Jon Heyman's twitter says the Sox and Braves are talking about Jackson and Lowe. How would that trade make any sense from a Sox standpoint?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 15, 2011 -> 08:37 PM) I think it's because MLB draft picks take a while to get to the majors & a lot of the draft is hit or miss, I personally root for them to win 79 instead of 72. I fully understand a better draft pick could help the team more, but I'd just rather see them win a few more games. It doesn't give me the same mind-set as the NBA/NFL, where your draft pick will immediately help you the next season. Unless they are fun-bad, then I can root for the loss cause it's entertaining. Would you root for an 82-80 season with them missing out on the division by 7 games if it means that Ozzie and KW keep their jobs?
