QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 03:25 PM) But what if they traded Paulie, Alexei, and Sale for a package of Bartolo Colon, Derek Jeter, and Jorge Posada! At least we'd get to see Minka Kelly a lot

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 02:24 PM) The only thing that would make me quit watching games all together is if they announced the team was moving. Other than that I figure bad baseball is better than just about anything else on TV in general. I really do agree with this. Even when team is going bad, there's certain things that can get you excited (ie: young player doing well). I actually enjoyed the end of 2007 a lot when we got to see Fields put on a power display.

Hawk Harrelson named GM and Joe Cowley named Manager

QUOTE (since56 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 02:08 PM) With all due respect to you I would have to say it was a fail. He did not stick because he could not field the ball, and he had too little plate discipline. Both are necessary in baseball. Did any of the players he is compared to at the top of this string ever succeed by getting sent down after breaking in? He certainly did not fail last year when he was up with the Sox.

Way to go Haren

"It Gets Worse" on Tosh.O was simply fantastic

greg, I know you hate the Royals like I do the Cubs, but just take a breather right now. It's fine, if we win tomorrow and split the Twins series, we're in good position heading into the 2nd half.

Is it me, or has Sale just destroyed lefties lately? Good to see him pitching better of late.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 03:22 AM) Ya certainly Peavy's option will be declined, I thinks its like 22 million option, with a 3 million buyout. But could still see White sox re sign Peavy to a lower contract. How much do cheerleaders make these days?

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 04:19 AM) Lilli with 4 K's, 7 lob. Dunn = lost. Beckham is a .240 hitter, at best. we had sooo many chances to score tonight with just a base hit. We wait around for the bomb and lean so hard on our pitching. Something's got to give. It just has to. We wait around hoping for a 3 run homer on a team without much power (lineup tonight especially). Sure, we have an above average number of homers, but that's mostly due to Konerko/Quentin. Our 7-8-9-1-2 tonight just isn't going to hit the ball out very often, and in our park, that's a recipe for a .500 record.

SS2k or J4L or anyone else...how many more years do we have Peavy and Rios for? I thought I heard Peavy has one more year before an option that we'll surely decline, and Rios has 3 more years after this season.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 03:15 AM) he got Butler swinging on cutter and Moustakas swinging at curveball but the typical slider away to the righty K was not there in fact not there for quite some time Has it ever been there in a Sox jersey? I think a lot of people who didn't see him often in San Diego would be amazed at how nasty his slider used to be like 5 years ago. You look at him now, and it's pretty average. I actually don't know how he gets a majority of his hitters out.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 04:09 AM) Matt Treanor > Jake Peavy I missed the first and third innings, but did Peavy get anyone to swing and miss at his slider? The old Peavy would have had no problem getting Treanor on a slider in the 6th inning.

That's another really bad loss. You have your high priced pitcher going against someone with such a bad career winning percentage, you should assume you win that game. 4 two out RBIs for them, and we get nothing yet again from our DH/CF spots.

Good news for Alexei is they couldn't turn the double play again.

Give us a thrill Alexei

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 03:05 AM) Dunn should be scrapped until Sep. Combined with Lillibridge that is not exactly Murderer's Row. Tough to win with that lineup. Something that should open some eyes is that Juan is playing good and we're still not scoring a lot of runs.

Walker should be proud of Dunn popping up to left and Quentin to right. We don't see that enough.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 03:02 AM) mitch williams is pretty full of s*** but he may be right about Dunn. He doesn't think it's going to turn around this season, thinks he's too out of whack. I agree with this. Doesn't mean he can't turn it around the next few years, but he's shown no signs this year of putting together a string of 10-20 good at bats in a row.

Terrible...tonight's lineup is just silly

Nice job Sale! Ok Adam, lay down a bunt

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 02:46 AM) It wouldn't hurt anything. It wouldn't help either, except for the shock factor. Might shock some guys into hitting. I mean Gordon Beckham, Rios, Lilly aren't going to change their approaches just cause some middle aged guy tells them to. You have absolutely no way of knowing this. I still don't understand why people seem scared of change with Walker being fired.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 03:45 AM) Teahen was put in an 0-2 hole by 2 awful calls. Been a strike all night.

Feels like we've taken more pitches for strikes tonight than we have in a game all season.

He's just a bad player who is much more effective when he's on the DL.
