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.

2 of our 3 highest paid offensive players (Dunn and Rios) have almost literally been non contributors to our offense this season. They need to pick it up, but does anyone think either of those guys will finish out their current contracts with the Sox? The Dunn era seems to be getting uglier, with booing coming from the crowd tonight.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 21, 2011 -> 04:28 AM) No anger at Sergio? Sergio sucked tonight, but I blame the catchers and Ozzie more than I do him. I don't get what sick game AJP was playing in the 10th by continuing to call for fastball after fastball. Leaving Sergio in to face Loney was sickening, as it seemed like Ozzie was pouting or something in the dugout.

Thanks Ozzie and company for this loss. Ozzie, I recommend you burn the DVD of this game when you apply for other jobs after this season.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 21, 2011 -> 04:23 AM) And Dunn is still 0-for-season vs. Lefties.... I keep saying if you can unload him and Danks for a monster package from the Yankees, you do it. Dunn's last 400 at bats or so are really frightening.

Mattingly is just dominating Ozzie these last three innings.

What a sad season for Dunn.

Best hope is that Dunn walks or gets HBP. Then MacDougal throws 3 wild pitches in a row.

Oh yay...this match-up should go well. Can we get Lillibridge to bat?

Ugh, hell of a play by Mitchell.

Does Alexei know the score?

Guerrier is the perfect pitcher for Dunn

That a boy Pierre. Avoid the double play Alexei!

If Pierre reaches, will Alexei bunt?

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 21, 2011 -> 03:07 AM) WILL OHMAN f***ING SUCKS. Shades of that A's afternoon loss all over again. Team has no freaking backbone.
