Omar made that look very easy

Just a dynamite effort by Danks tonight

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 21, 2011 -> 01:19 AM) There's no way Dunn walks away from $44 million. I said elsewhere, but if he's still awful come end of next year, I could see this being a reality.

Darn, hell of a catch by Gordon.

Wow, pathetic base running by Morel.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 21, 2011 -> 01:02 AM) overall? come on, you think their pitching is better overall? Their defense? Offensively, hands down they're better. I don't know about the rest. Just look at how pathetic our O is and how we'd be in a battle for last place right now if it weren't for the rest of it. Think of the shift in the standings if the Tigers went hard after Dunn and we would have signed VMart?

There we go Carlos!

Danks does look great...I'd be stunned if he's not our ace the rest of the way.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 21, 2011 -> 12:59 AM) the middle of that order does damage I'm still amazed people think the Sox are more talented than Detroit.

The Dunn situation seems to have gone from bad to worse. I think if he continues to suck this year and next, then he'd call it quits. However, the team needs to make a decision about him. If he's only playing against RHP, then get Viciedo up immediately.

Excellent approach tonight. Konerko looks like he is ready for season to end. Could you imagine how well we'd be playing tonight with another righty reliever on the roster? In KW we trust!

3b could be Achilles heal? It's a gigantic disaster

Not having Viciedo up this series is just an epic fail by our management. I can't take anymore of morel at the plate

This offense is so damn boring

Really great comments in here the last few days!

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 05:15 PM) How accurate are statistics for identifying truly good defensive teams? Are we only going by errors because when I watch this team I don't think defensive juggernaut. Sure there are a couple of excellent defensive players in Beckham and Ramirez but the rest of the team is meh IMO. Has Ramirez really been all that good defensively? Seems he was much better last year on the defensive end.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 03:37 AM) It would be just like the Sox to call the kid up when he's cold, he goes 0 for his first 10 or so and Ozzie benches him saying that "there's too much pressure on this keeed." Ozzie did a wonderful job of making sure not to overexpose Lillibridge when he was hitting at an incredible rate. Sure glad we capitalized on his hot streak.

Stat guys...have there been more than a few third baseman to get as many at bats as Morel in the last 5-10 years and have a lower OPS?

Watched 9th inning of Cubs game tonight. Holy cow, tons of Phillies fans at Wrigley.

As much as I hate Walker, it's not like he had much to work with in the lineup we had tonight. Three guys out of the nine should be in AAA (Flowers, Lillibridge, Morel). Pierre and Beckham can only do so much offensively as well. I think it's time we just realize this is a pretty average roster we have.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 02:39 AM) Excellent letdown game. Our 16 million dollar pitcher has now lost 3 straight games to Paulino, Swarzak and Duffy

How can you continue to not make any freaking roster moves?

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 03:20 AM) agree. great chance for Cleveland to put the Sox in a hole. Timing is great at least

I watch this team, and the first thing that comes to mind is....we need a righty reliever. BTW, how awful is our Morel/Teahen platoon against LHP?

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 02:13 AM) Konerko has cooled off bigtime. His swing has gotten so preventive.
