Way to go Beckham!

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 30, 2011 -> 10:09 PM) So lets see. We've been completely dominated by Livan Hernandez, Aaron Cook, Doug Davis, and Brad Penny this year. Anyone else I'm missing? Chris Tillman was the worst one

Alexei needs to start using whole field again. He's way too pull-happy now.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 30, 2011 -> 08:52 PM) I can think of switching league/switching team acquisitions that suddenly made guys slump. Happens in NYC all the time it seems. Who's the last guy to slump as bad as Dunn has for half a season?

Nice job by Peavy since escaping the 3rd.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 30, 2011 -> 08:48 PM) And people questioned why a picked 2 as the over/under. SHM We'll crush their bullpen, we've hit the heck out of the ball against them this series.

.148 for Dunn in day games. Damn you Cubs for not signing him!!

KW won't be putting that inning on his resume when he looks for other jobs.

Dunn's going to find himself benched next week. If he can't hit a crappy sinker baller, then there's no reason for him to be playing. I truly feel that the best chance for Sox to win the AL Central this year is to not have Dunn in the lineup.

Time for Omar to hit one in the hole between first and second.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 30, 2011 -> 08:28 PM) How does Pierre have a .300 avg with RISP? I feel like I've never seen any of those hits... He was at like .500 during April. Of course, it doesn't mean he drove someone in with those hits.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 30, 2011 -> 08:27 PM) About to say at least the pitcher's not leading off and then remembered it was Pierre, Oldmar and Dunn. How can you blame Walker for this team not hitting? Harry Houdini couldn't do anything with these guys. Maybe that explains the dearth of "Fire Walker" threads or even Dick Allen's willingness to argue on his behalf. Oh, there's a ton of things you can question about Walker. As we said last night, people don't even talk as much about firing Walker cause they know it will only happen when Ozzie leaves.

I bet our batting practice coach had a good outing prior to this game. Nothing like a lineup with about 40 cumulative home runs in it halfway through the year.

Good job by Beckham extending the inning.

Rockies really do seem like our NL sister team. Time to get some more base runners!

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 30, 2011 -> 09:17 PM) Arguing the contract is one thing, but it didnt handicap them from spending this year and it's not KW's fault if Ozzie overuses him. I don't even think Ozzie overuses him. He's used him pretty good this year. Problem is he's a non-contributor on this roster that can't be released due to still having about 7.5 million dollars left on his deal.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 30, 2011 -> 09:16 PM) WTF just happened? que?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 30, 2011 -> 09:15 PM) 6 consecutive cutters at 86-90 MPH? HMMM. I don't even care about the win or loss this game...but the sooner we pull him, the better

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 30, 2011 -> 09:15 PM) Loyalty in this organization is it's deathnail right now! Dwyane Wade is an idiot

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 30, 2011 -> 09:14 PM) He was extended to be in a utility role. Screaming about bench signings is kind of ridiculous. Pierre? Obviously. Rios? He is losing that gamble. But to complain about the bench is a bit much. I'd love to see KW put together a couple teams with a more competent manager before I vilify him as well. He got a hell of a of money to be a utility player.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jun 30, 2011 -> 08:10 PM) I always thought that he was one of the more obvious juicers. I understand that he tested positive for a banned substance, but that was "supposedly" not a steroid. Indeed...him and Boone on same team hitting bombs in a huge park.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 30, 2011 -> 09:11 PM) Its Ozzie, he's a f***ing idiot. I get resting Konerko and switching in Dunn, but the rest of the lineup? f***. This "Sunday" lineup puts anything Jerry M. did to shame. 3 of our 4 tough outs on the bench in same game just seems like you're settling for a 1-2 series.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 30, 2011 -> 09:08 PM) Teahen now 4 for his last 34. Well, at least one of those 4 hits was exciting. Why does it feel like a line-up with Pierre leading off, Dunn 3rd, Rios 4th and Teahen 5th is basically conceding the game? Could Ozzie have made a worse line-up had he just drawn the names out of a hat as he suggested doing during our 4-18 streak? Teahen's the person on the roster that is the biggest "waste". If you're looking for someone to go on the DL to get Viciedo up here, it would be him.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 30, 2011 -> 09:07 PM) How ANYBODY can defend KW at this point is beyond me. I'm just holding out hope changes will be made after the Cubs game on Sunday with regards to roster.

Just saw this lineup has two players with an OPS over .635
