Hey guys, don't worry...we benched our best starting pitcher so Peavy can continue to pitch with his ERA shooting up to 5.5

Haha, nice hustle Juan.

Plain and simple, probably no one in Sox front office is mad at this. Makes the white flag trades coming up not look so bad.

Where's greg to tell us how great at Ozzie is managing with his gut. I hate Jake Peavy so much...he's by far the weakest link.

I hate Ozzie so much. Way to know your personnel!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 02:24 AM) Terrible mechanics and conditioning leading to unprecedented surgery perhaps? So what we're saying is the slider is gone for good?

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 02:19 AM) Unprecedented, major surgery perhaps? Wasn't all that effective last year either.

Hey, nice change-up

Whew!!

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 02:15 AM) Jake just has no kinda slider tonight. Not gonna fool MC or VM. He NEVER has a slider anymore. Still stunned how it went from maybe best slider in baseball to below average.

Shades of Peavy's last start against Tigers where he retired them easily the first time thru the order but then left far too many pitches over heart of plate.

Beckham really got down the line quickly there.

Not sure why Tigers didn't throw him a change-up, as that's been the pitch Verlander has hurt him with this year.

Wow!!!!!!! That ball was hammered.

The more obvious question is: why is Dunn batting after Konerko?

That has to be Alexei's 10th 5-4-3 DP in the last month and a half

If KW is unloading guys, he better pray for an L tonight

Don't forget the rumor that Sox are dying to move rios to a corner position. If it is CQ traded then De Aza makes sense

It takes seeing him live to realize how awful Rios' body language is

I still think it is the lefty set-up man we haven't used in three days and the starting pitcher we haven't listed for his next start

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 12:53 AM) If KW could trade Rios and not eat any of the contract, as much as I don't care for him, he would deserve a lifetime contract. If he could trade him and eat 50%, I'd be thrilled. Heck, at this point, I'd be fine with eating 99% of it.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 12:51 AM) I don't get it. What moves would lead to this? Probably don't want to call up Viciedo now while he's hurt. Or maybe we can dream and pray that Rios got traded.

See ya Carlos and Jackson and Thornton

Oh boy!
