QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 29, 2011 -> 01:45 AM) At the most, there are only about 82 games left in Juan Pierre's regular season White Sox career. You might as well cheer for him to do well, because at this rate, if they ever finally decide to make a change my be too late. Viciedo is due to cool off. It would have been nice having him in the line up while he's on fire. It's ironic, cause I feel like we didn't strike while iron was hot with Lillibridge. He should have been playing every day when he was Miguel Cabrera-esque.

Is it true Dunn has k'd in 16 of his last 19 ABs? Oh, and seeing an 8-9-1-2 coming up tonight = bathroom time for us

For those who don't live in Chicago, the Chicago sports radio shows were all over the Pierre/Dunn vs Viciedo debate.

Note to our pitchers: don't throw Pena anything to hit this weekend

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 01:22 PM) Frank never really put on a BP show like the steroid guys did though. Yes he did, when he was using the aluminum bat for BP in 2004

Sergio Mitre released by Brewers. I think he'd be a great fit in our bullpen as a long reliever and a sinker baller.

Bad Teacher was enjoyable to watch, even though I dislike Cameron Diaz.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 07:10 PM) Yep. Jackson has disappointed me as I thought he'd find more consistent success under Coopers wings. Hopefully he can have a dominant second half - he's capable - that's for sure. Heck, so is Peavy. This team could be very very exciting for the rest of the year if people start playing up to their potential. We all know that but in moments / weeks of frustration - I think we tend to forget just how talented this group is. If we don't go into the playoffs, 2011 will be on par with 2006 in terms of disappointment for me. In my opinion, it's two different situations. 2006, the Sox played like they were one of the top two or three teams in baseball for an extended stretch. That run during interleague play in 2006 was as exciting a Sox team as there's been for me since I've been a fan. This year, we just haven't come close to putting it all together. Still time though, but let's face it, if you have 3, 4 or 5 hitters in your everyday lineup struggle all season, it wasn't meant to be. Good news is we're still in it when we could have been 10 out by now.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 10:12 PM) There's a lot of worst things about this game but I would say it was Adam Dunn and his 4 K's. For me, it seems more likely Viciedo is called up to take at bats away from Dunn instead of taking them from Pierre.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 10:07 PM) Where's the accountability JR? $125M+ payroll and look at the crap we trot out there everyday. Not that it's entirely Ozzie's fault, but this was just a really bad AL lineup we had out there today. Way too little power for my liking. Of course, it's all so weird cause we tried to bring in Dunn for that very reason. Enjoy the day off tomorrow everyone!

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 10:06 PM) How much of a d-bag is Michael Morse? He has to be juicing again to be not only producing, but to constantly be this excited. Him and Nix pounding the ball in the middle of the order is pretty comical.

That's a really bad loss, as Washington had no business winning this game. This has happened far too often this year. Starting pitching continues to be great though.

That 3-0 pitch hasn't been a strike all game.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 10:03 PM) What he say? Brought up how someone asked about him and then they gushed about his stats this year. You don't usually see Hawk pull out the "filler" material in the bottom of the 9th.

Lillibridge is starting to strike out again at a frightening rate.

Very, very interesting time for Hawk to discuss Viciedo

Nothing Ozzie could do there

Nice job there by McLaren of forcing the issue

Stat guys: what's the worst LHP or RHP split a hitter has had in MLB history? Is Dunn threatening the record against LHP?

Hell of a job by Sale today. Bullpen should all be fine come Tuesday.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 09:52 PM) I'm going to predict we see PH'ers for Teahen and Beckham, but definitely not for Pierre. Only person who could get ph for is Beckham

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 09:51 PM) a part of guillen's job is to put players in the best position to be successful...he is not doing that although he will scream from the mountaintops that is exactly what he is doing for Lillibridge and morel. Maggs, can you call up the postgame show just so we can hear Rongey say "you don't ph for someone with Dunn's pedigree?" I love that line. Sale's looked fantastic today, which is always something that warms my heart.

So do we let Beckham bat in the 9th? I'd rather go with Alexei, especially with Storen's strong fastball. And as for Viciedo, it's gotten past the point of "where would he play?" There's so many chances to fit him into the lineup.

I think we can safely say that they new Hyperbole Law has prevented a lot of Dunn rants today.

Well, at least he won't be starting for another week. I can't believe we continue to let him face LHP.
