A few too many pitches for Sale it seemed. If this was the typical Sox at KC extra inning game, Butler will single up the middle here.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 21, 2011 -> 03:46 AM) I don't understand it either. What is KW waiting for? Its mindboggling. Hopefully this knee "issue" with Dunn lands him on the DL. It would be just like the Sox to promote Viciedo just before we face some big time sinker ball pitchers against the Indians.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 21, 2011 -> 03:42 AM) Is Dunn available to pinch strikeout for someone tonight? I said it earlier tonight, but not calling up Viciedo for this series with two lefties on the mound while benching Dunn is mind-boggling. Look at our freaking offensive roster right now? It's pathetic!

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 21, 2011 -> 03:39 AM) Now we have to put up with Teahen's defense at 3B. That was the perfect chance to use Dunn against a pitcher he's had success against. With Alexei as our DH, there's really no other spot where you could use Dunn. I'm sure Ozzie knows that.

Tons of hard hit outs by the Sox tonight.

Jeez Teahen...if we wanted a weak ground out to the 2nd baseman, Morel could have done that.

Way to go Sale! f*** it, let Dunn hit for Morel.

Wow, that was close. Throw him a slider instead of a 5th straight fastball.

Should have gone to third

T.T.I.D.

Playing like a team that the manager needs to get fired from. Just a terrible effort by AJP, who definitely seems to have no plans for postseason play this year.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 21, 2011 -> 03:26 AM) some of these guys just go up there swinging at everything and anything Hideous swing by Beckham. It's not like he was going to hit Crow's fastball, so he should have been sitting on the slider.

That was a very good swing by Rios there. We better be hit and running here.

I missed a game, but has AJP done anything since the ASB?

Well, Chris Rongey said something like no matter how many games we lose before deadline, he'd rather we just go for it this year and hope for the best and not trade anyone.

I'm beginning to think Konerko is hurt. He's taken so many of those defensive swings since the ASB

Real stellar approach at the plate tonight.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 21, 2011 -> 02:00 AM) Too bad Kenny couldn't get the trade done for another right handed reliever before this game. Sin, you crack me up

You know what does suck? This will make the need for a "righty reliever" seem even larger.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 21, 2011 -> 01:58 AM) What did rios do? Why was he throwing the ball towards third? You keep the double play in tact, as there was no way Butler wasn't going to get to third on a single to right center.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 21, 2011 -> 01:57 AM) Yeah we're winning this division. I've never been less upset at the thought of a possible loss.

Again, playing like a team that wants to get their manager fired. Rios really needs to just get a seat on the bench for a month.

First pitch fastball? Really?

Thornton missed his location on all 7 pitches that at bat.

Man, we play like a team just begging to get their manager fired.
