QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 23, 2011 -> 02:11 AM) Nice flop Bibby. Had a few 3-2 run outs in the last two minutes that we haven't been able to capitalize on. It's pretty comical at how bad the Heat fans are.

I have such a hatred for Bobby Valentine as an announcer. I'd rather have Joe Morgan back. For those watching the Bulls game, Valentine said that Starlin Castro has the potential to be better than Ernie Banks.

Bibby's killing us this quarter. I laugh at the non-call on him when he hacked Noah on the easy lay-up. At this point, I'd rather the Bulls leave James and Wade wide open from the perimeter and just guard Bosh/Bibby closely.

Anyone else watch 60 Minutes tonight about Lance Armstrong? Good luck Lance getting your way out of this one!

Nice Adam

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ May 22, 2011 -> 10:15 PM) Juan hasn't lost a step....he's lost two it seems...usually that play at first is much closer with him Rios and Lillibridge are faster than Pierre is now, no doubt about it. Juan's like a pitcher who used to throw 98 mph and now throws 92 mph.

Alexei, hell of a game! I really don't want Santos to have to log an inning here, but that would mean Pena is brought in or Thornton is left in.

Great inning for Thornton.

Nice catch by Juan out there.

Whew, that was close! Good job by Crain.

Nice job by Alexei of getting one out. No fastballs to Kemp please! Walk him if you have to.

Wow, Sale needs to be sent to the minors and find some command of his fastball. Should be Crain time.

Sale's slider just seems way too hittable to righties these days. This 5 run lead seems small for some reason.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 22, 2011 -> 08:31 PM) The thing I hate about message boards are when a guy is deemed pathetic like Pierre, he can have a good game and people still bag on him. I hate that so much. The thing I hate about message boards are when posters use one good game as a reason why someone should keep a job or not be in the doghouse of the fan base.

It would be nice to see Viciedo promoted so he can play Tuesday and Wednesday against some LHP.

Um, is Terry Francona and Albers on the take here? I'm not sure I've ever seen an 8th inning set-up man be allowed to stay in the game after allowing the first 5 batters he faced reach.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 21, 2011 -> 08:18 PM) Yeah, I'd be all for giving Brent a shot at Juan's job at this point. He needs to be in the lineup against LHP every game

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 21, 2011 -> 08:16 PM) Nobody's gonna DFA Pierre. It's not like he's hitting .180 like Dunn. I agree Juan has been a horrible acquisition for the Sox but the DFA won't happen. If he and the team struggles the next few weeks, I wouldn't be so sure of that.

Nice to see Rios get a big hit, and PK continues to shine. As for Dunn, if he can't hit Garland and his 88 mph sinker, then there's a huge reason for concern. I'm not buying the appendectomy recovery excuse any longer. His bat speed is just non-existent.

That was a cheap walkoff homer that Prince hit

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 21, 2011 -> 04:38 AM) Dunn can't hit right now. I blame him for selecting the 3rd hitting spot in the lineup lottery to ensure lots of ABs. If we only had an authority figure on this team that had his finger on the pulse of who is hitting and say who hasn't had a hit against a lefty all year long. Is Rongey saying "but he had an RBI tonight" in the postgame? I did laugh at Hawk saying how clutch Dunn has been lately, and then pointed out his first inning sac fly on Wednesday night.

QUOTE (WHITESOXRANDY @ May 21, 2011 -> 04:19 AM) Do you think that the Sox could get Bryce Harper for all of their minor league players? Hell no. What minor leaguers do we have that anyone would be craving for besides Viciedo?

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 21, 2011 -> 04:35 AM) My god. When are people on this board going to start blaming Dunn?? Is the guy ever going to do anything to win us a big game? f***ing ground ball in the 10th. 0-5. My god he is a worthless piece of dung. It figures the first big free agent we sign since Belle has been a total flop. Damn the Cubs for not pursuing him!

Looking at highlights, even though it was a flare, why would you throw Juan Castro anything but sliders after how pathetic he looked against Crain's offspeed pitches?

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 21, 2011 -> 04:33 AM) Adam Dunn is a worthless piece of s***. But let's blame Ozzie for this one. greg, I sense you crawling back to the dark side (ie: Ozzieworld). Who blamed Ozzie for Dunn? If you think Ozzie managed well the last 3 innings tonight, then we will never agree on anything. Ozzie seemed to quit on Sergio out there.
