QUOTE (Cali @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 11:21 PM) The Sox firing Joey Cora would be the most hilarious thing to ever happen. What on earth does that accomplish? Just Kenny f***ing with Ozzie, like, "I just fired your best friend and bench coach. Your move!" Exactly

Did someone give Aramis some soon-to-be-FA PEDS? He went from not being able to hit the ball to the warning track the first month and a half to the point now where he's hitting 450 foot homers to dead center.

I never knew Dan Bernstein was an Ozzie fan, but he's been suggesting all day if the Sox tank this series, that a change will be made. Thinks it could be Walker or Cora getting fired.

Since trade winds hasn't opened up yet, and with everyone trying to get rid of about 21 of the 25 players on the Major League roster, what trades would you make to improve the Sox organization?

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 04:43 PM) And won't ever be possible. He could never play another game and it still wouldn't be the worst signing ever. Who are you thinking of here?

Way, way too early to proclaim Dunn to be worst FA signing ever.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 03:13 PM) But think of the draft pick! Does Denard Robinson play baseball also?

So the Mets face Kershaw, Vogelsong, Lincecum, Cain, Halladay, Lee and Hamels in consecutive games. Yep, that's 7 straight all stars they face.

I get the feeling the Sox are getting close to benching Rios one way or another. He just doesn't hit line drives. Everything is either a rolled-over grounder or a lazy pop up.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 02:38 AM) Great night all-around. Make it one time in 25 games we scored more than 3 runs against a starting pitcher. I don't know how long it's been since a team put up such a mediocre stat line.

Walkoff grand slam for Hafner.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 02:34 AM) Been a Sox fan for 20 of my nearly 28 years on this planet, and I've never seen anything like Dunn. I can't find a word in the dictionary that appropriately describes him. I'm just praying he retires at the end of the year.

Any chance Dunn is a freak and has two appendixes? He needs to be benched!!

Our third base production is comical this year.

Santiago's fastball looks a lot like the Johan Santana fastball of old.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 02:21 AM) the hand loop is back He just can't barrel-up a fastball

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 02:13 AM) Paulie turtling in the clutch. WTF What happened?

QUOTE (Cali @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 02:11 AM) Honestly, if Ozzie can't figure out why the Sox can't beat the Twins (or why as a team manager he can't get the heads right on these guys/can't motivate them) and just throws his hands in the air and shrugs, recommending they just "play through it" then maybe we need a new manager. It's that freakin' simple. Another other coach in the MLB or anyone in a management position at ANY JOB would be replaced already.... The way this season is going, it seems hard to believe that either Manager and General Manager for the Sox/Cubs should have a job at the end of the year.

QUOTE (onedude @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 02:05 AM) If you bring up Viciedo for Dunn, might as well bring up De Aza for Rios....HOLY s*** We are going to have to pay a team a ton of money to take Rios. At this point, you have to wonder if he'll still be in baseball by the time his contract ends.

0 for last 3 games for Dunn since he homered against KC. Rios has 1 hit in last 6 games I believe.

Dan Bernstein is so right...you just have to bench Dunn and try to actually win games instead of letting someone who can't even hit the ball play every day.

Nishioka is messing us up tonight.

Omar trying to pull everything tonight. It's almost to the point I want to give Beckham a chance at the 2 spot again.

There we go Teahen!

Same freaking approach by Rios...do you think our batting practice coach has an ERA below 3?
