Nice job today defense!

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 11:05 PM) A broken hand could be a blessing in disguise. Why not see what Flowers can do -- again? Agreed!

Castro just broke his hand. Flowers, come on down! This would be a fun way to lose a game.

Well, this won't go well. Need a pickoff.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 10:55 PM) Don't worry guys, Brent Morel has this...and by has this, I mean he will roll up a breaking pitch the left side for an out. He will never hit in the majors with the mechanics he has. He can't pull a ball with any authority, and he doesn't have enough power to try and drive the ball out to right.

Holy cow he is so awful! I can't believe he still has some supporters.

That was sweet by Beckham

This is as good as Buehrle's looked in a long time.

Not good Gordon http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/news/story?id=6752562

Wow, terrible. Again, so glad he's playing against a LHP. Not sure what more needs to happen for him to just sit his ass against LHP. Where would Dayan play?

Wow, that ball carried a ton. Great base running this inning...hit a flare Dunn

That was beautiful base running by Juan, as that was a great fake by Nishioka

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 09:34 PM) I would love to see new starters permanently at 3B, 2B, LF, CF and DH. That is sad. We have horrible players at every one of those positions. No organizational depth whatsoever to help replace these guys. Viciedo is the lone guy and go in LF (but really switch CQ to RF) or DH. We can easily send down our 2B and 3B, but they are the tallest midgets in this abysmal organization. It's nuts, isn't it? Can't believe we're not 20 games out of contention with so many players just not showing up this season.

Another fantastic offensive game against a lefty for Morel. Have a feeling he'll get sent down soon, as he flat out is not ready to hit at this level.

Nicely done Buehrle. Let's get someone on for Alexei and PK

This would be fitting if a Thome homer sealed Ozzie's fate after the rotating DH debacle BS.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 09:25 PM) Watch the Sox give Cuddyer something to hit here. Good move Ozzie

Watch the Sox give Cuddyer something to hit here.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 09:20 PM) The trouble is the guy making the trade. He'll get fleeced. Ginger, be afraid that Viciedo might be moved.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 09:18 PM) The murmurings of boos are starting with Rios groundouts now. Not quite so demonstrative as with Dunn, but humorous nonetheless. I'd boo the hell out of Rios at the game, way more than Dunn. At least Dunn is seeing 3 pitches in an at bat. It seems about 80% of Rios' at bats have been one or two pitches lately.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 09:18 PM) Feel bad for everyone who pays to watch these guys play. Just going through the motions. At least we don't ever hear anymore "Ozzie would never let his guys not hustle on the field and play with passion". We used to hear that all the time when comparing him to Manuel. The effort on the field is way worse than anything we saw during the "corpseball" era.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 09:17 PM) Marks trade value also large Call up the Yankees or Reds and see what they'll offer.

Haha! This is comical.

Holy s***, make it stop with Rios!

Hey Ozzie, keep playing Dunn against lefties. That .033 batting average doesn't reflect how well he's playing.
