fathom

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

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 01:47 AM) If the Sox are going to go young, Rios can only poison young players. You have to get rid of him even if it means setting the record for most money ever eaten. I couldn't agree more with you. Just another terrible acquisition by Kenny.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 01:44 AM) Only because MLB salaries go up faster than college tuition. But how much did we have to pay Wells during his time here?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 01:42 AM) David Wells. Calls out Frank as weak. Then learns Frank shredded his arm. Helps shred that 2001 team. When you take into account salary wasted, Rios is going to end up being #1.

A nice 0-5 with a double play by the two players who Ozzie should never dream of starting in a game like this.

They need to go all Willie Mayes Hayes with Morel and tell him that he has to do 20 push-ups for every ball hit to the right side.

Honestly, I'm thrilled that just happened. Anything to make Ozzie realize how terrible of a player he is.

Still no suggestions for how to make the font smaller?

Something scary to consider is that if Pierre continues to hit well the rest of the year, the Sox could bring him back with the lame-ass excuse of "we have no leadoff hitter".

QUOTE (Real @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 01:20 AM) man, Rios+Beckham+Morel+Pierre+Dunn cannot be the way this line up is constructed next year, unless Kenny wants to lose his job. Epic Fail. Well, we'll be losing Pierre, but also losing Quentin likely. Hate to say it, but 2012 has got to be a rebuilding year.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 01:14 AM) yeah paulie. but 33919? on a Saturday nite against boston? more pressure to sell? 34k isn't bad

Anyone know how to make the font smaller on soxtalk?

If Viciedo's thumb is still in one piece, the time is now to call him up. This lineup just sucks so much against LHP, and can't afford to drop Sunday and Monday's game just due to a s***ty lineup like the one tonight. No Rios please, no Dunn either.

Report out there that Rockies wouldn't let Yankees do a physical on Ubaldo. With his decrease in velocity this year, that's a scary situation for the Indians.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 12:40 AM) Hell, even the Red Sox rely on catching lightning in a bottle with half their roster. That was their entire 2010 plan. Or the in and out every year Yankee pitching staff. I just hope he can get things back together again and finish the year nicely. I'm not expecting a 3 ERA or anything, but something that can give him momentum heading into next year.

Holy hell is Rios pathetic. Still can't believe how much of a coward Ozzie is.

Goodness, we've swung at so many pitches out of the zone tonight.

So balta, would you still pencil Humber into the 2012 Sox rotation? Do you chalk this up to him not used to this work load?

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 12:24 AM) He would have already made trades if the sox didn't have a good series against the Tigers and won the first game against Boston. My worst fear is the sox take 2/3 against Boston but then struggle a bit and KW loses out on more deals for the future cause of this usual "tease". I think it's too late, and your fears have been realized with regards to KW going for it instead of trading guys.

So speaking of tomorrow's game, if you want to get drunk, you should take a shot whenever Hawk says "Nintendo". Our hitters better be patient, cause Miller has no control. I'm sure we'll have 4 lefties in the lineup, or something along those lines.
