Last 23 hours is definitely worst case scenario

Do we have anyone left on the bench?

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 10:15 PM) It takes a great manager like Ozzie to think outside of the box like that move He's a brilliant in-game manager.

Rios in line to make the last out of the game. Too bad, as Red Sox fans cheering will be louder than the booing.

That's our #3 hitter! He's so damn slow now compared to what he used to be.

I would be willing to bet that Ozzie has no idea Morel is better against RHP than LHP

Ok Juan, pull the ball. Nice hustle Alexei!

Hey Hawk, STFU. Boston had no trouble getting 2 strike hits against Crain.

I can sense balta's frustration from here.

Seems like over-managing here pulling Sale

Wow...good thing we didn't trade him for AGon. Can't hit in the majors if you can't hit fastballs Gordon.

Nice managing here by Francona. Beckham has no prayer if Bard throws all fastballs

It's comical to me that our lineup right now is: Lillibridge Alexei Pierre Quentin Dunn Rios Flowers Beckham Morel That team would win 50 games over a full season

Way to swing at ball 4 you dumbass

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 08:33 PM) Of course, Tony LaRussa-ball would be to bring in Ohman for Ellsbury, Frasor/Crain for Pedroia, and Sale for the big lefties. Well, I wouldn't argue that philosophy there. If you have three lefties, might as well take advantage of it. Boston might have the most perfectly assembled 1-5 in their lineup of this generation (non-steroids era)

Chicago sports radio gonna have a nice week of GM bashing for the Chicago sports teams.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 08:30 PM) Pedroia has a 1.200 OPS against LHP. Isn't it more important though to go after the guy who can be the go-ahead run? Oh well, Crain was brutal. The way the organization keeps talking about him, sounds like he's physically hit the wall.

QUOTE (Paulstar @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 08:28 PM) So let me get this straight. We're all in still, but managed to weaken our rotation (not saying the Jackson trade was bad), and leave huge holes at 3B, CF, and DH. Baffling to me. Kenny got suckered into thinking this team had a chance after winning 2 of 3 against the Tigers. Those two wins were such fool's gold.

So why are we pitching to Gonzalez here? Also, why the hell wasn't Sale brought in to face Ellsbury? Ellsbury is 80 points better against righties this season?

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 08:24 PM) But they won't. 2005 = life-time contract. Ozzie is so gone after this year...sadly, we won't get the chance to fire him.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 08:23 PM) So, no trades. This team sucks as it is. What a waste of a season. All these assholes better lose their job after this debacle of a season

Wow, just a pathetic performance by Crain. Holy f***, PULL RIOS! Ozzie and Kenny, please quit.

Figures...trade deadline ends, and team collapses. Predictable season is an understatement

Crain is getting crushed out there. That would have been a double play if he got out of the way.

You have to be kidding me, WGN is confirming Ramirez for Sale
