QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 17, 2011 -> 02:58 AM) Rios is perplexing. Juan Pierre is just a bad baseball player *cue Shack getting upset because I called Pierre bad and I'm not in the major leagues*. But Rios is as gifted as just about any player in baseball outside of the Uptons. Teams are just pounding Rios on the outside corner, and his awful swing/standing off the plate is making it so difficult for him to consistently square up the pitch.

It's just crazy how little Rios and Pierre have done to help us win games this season. At least with Morel and Beckham, they played a huge part in a few of our wins.

Greg Walker continues to thrive. Just a heartless, awful effort by everyone on the Sox. At least we should get to see Lillibridge in the lineup tomorrow.

Worst thing about that inning is Juan having a bunt hit. Ozzieball!! It would be nice for Dunn to carry this team on this homestand, especially with the Sox facing a lot of sinker ballers.

How many strikes can we take tonight? Never has a hanging breaking pitch dominated an offense so much.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 17, 2011 -> 01:54 AM) Are we going to get two pitching prospects for him. It would be nice if one of them was near major league ready. It will probably be someone we put in the pen right away. The more I think about things, the more I'm stunned at how much this year could hurt Sale's development. He's basically a mop-up man now.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ May 17, 2011 -> 01:51 AM) So bad... 4+ innings, 11 hits, 4 runs, 3 walks, 2 wild pitches. Definitely the stuff of a solid starter. We won't have to deal with his erratic ass much longer. He'll likely be traded in a few months.

Brilliant managing by Ozzie. He should have never, ever started this inning.

Not a good effort by AJ

Jeez Ozzie...leaving Jackson in a long time when he has less than his best.

QUOTE (Real @ May 17, 2011 -> 01:44 AM) Is Beckham the biggest bust of all the top 10 picks in the 2008 draft? Horrible baseball player. Someone forgot to tell the Sox front office that you have to be able to swing a bat in order to stay in the big leagues. Gordon forgot how the baseball bat works Tim Beckham and Kyle Skipworth say hi

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 17, 2011 -> 01:44 AM) I had high hopes for GB and he really let fans down. You're an easy out when you can't hit the inside fastball up and the low outside slider.

Haha, he f***ing sucks. He's like Adam Dunn now without power or a batting eye.

That was amazing by AJ. Hit a double Gordon.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 17, 2011 -> 01:34 AM) Indians up 8-0 on the Royals. But don't worry. They'll soon come crashing back to earth and will easily make up the 10 game deficit. Instead of having Peavy pitch against a righty dominated lineup (Texas), we have him slotted to face a powerhouse lefty lineup.

Haha, I love Hawk getting pissed at Quentin. Screw it, let's get no hit again (if we're destined to lose).

Good job Edwin! Kept us in the game...need a bloop and a blast

Edwin has nothing so far tonight. If I could bet on it, he'll be first person to complain about 6 man rotation and he'll be first man traded.

Was Young's two out double in the 3rd on a fastball?

Taking strikes, swinging at balls. This team is doing everything in their power to have no fan support at home.

Someone needs to teach Beckham how to protect the plate with 2 strikes.

Is there anyone at the game? Doesn't seem like Jackson has his best stuff.

Taj. WTF was that!!!

Those King tweets are gold. Deng is so damn good

Deng with huge shot
