QUOTE (hi8is @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 07:10 PM) Yep. Jackson has disappointed me as I thought he'd find more consistent success under Coopers wings. Hopefully he can have a dominant second half - he's capable - that's for sure. Heck, so is Peavy. This team could be very very exciting for the rest of the year if people start playing up to their potential. We all know that but in moments / weeks of frustration - I think we tend to forget just how talented this group is. If we don't go into the playoffs, 2011 will be on par with 2006 in terms of disappointment for me. In my opinion, it's two different situations. 2006, the Sox played like they were one of the top two or three teams in baseball for an extended stretch. That run during interleague play in 2006 was as exciting a Sox team as there's been for me since I've been a fan. This year, we just haven't come close to putting it all together. Still time though, but let's face it, if you have 3, 4 or 5 hitters in your everyday lineup struggle all season, it wasn't meant to be. Good news is we're still in it when we could have been 10 out by now.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 10:12 PM) There's a lot of worst things about this game but I would say it was Adam Dunn and his 4 K's. For me, it seems more likely Viciedo is called up to take at bats away from Dunn instead of taking them from Pierre.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 10:07 PM) Where's the accountability JR? $125M+ payroll and look at the crap we trot out there everyday. Not that it's entirely Ozzie's fault, but this was just a really bad AL lineup we had out there today. Way too little power for my liking. Of course, it's all so weird cause we tried to bring in Dunn for that very reason. Enjoy the day off tomorrow everyone!

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 10:06 PM) How much of a d-bag is Michael Morse? He has to be juicing again to be not only producing, but to constantly be this excited. Him and Nix pounding the ball in the middle of the order is pretty comical.

That's a really bad loss, as Washington had no business winning this game. This has happened far too often this year. Starting pitching continues to be great though.

That 3-0 pitch hasn't been a strike all game.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 10:03 PM) What he say? Brought up how someone asked about him and then they gushed about his stats this year. You don't usually see Hawk pull out the "filler" material in the bottom of the 9th.

Lillibridge is starting to strike out again at a frightening rate.

Very, very interesting time for Hawk to discuss Viciedo

Nothing Ozzie could do there

Nice job there by McLaren of forcing the issue

Stat guys: what's the worst LHP or RHP split a hitter has had in MLB history? Is Dunn threatening the record against LHP?

Hell of a job by Sale today. Bullpen should all be fine come Tuesday.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 09:52 PM) I'm going to predict we see PH'ers for Teahen and Beckham, but definitely not for Pierre. Only person who could get ph for is Beckham

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 09:51 PM) a part of guillen's job is to put players in the best position to be successful...he is not doing that although he will scream from the mountaintops that is exactly what he is doing for Lillibridge and morel. Maggs, can you call up the postgame show just so we can hear Rongey say "you don't ph for someone with Dunn's pedigree?" I love that line. Sale's looked fantastic today, which is always something that warms my heart.

So do we let Beckham bat in the 9th? I'd rather go with Alexei, especially with Storen's strong fastball. And as for Viciedo, it's gotten past the point of "where would he play?" There's so many chances to fit him into the lineup.

I think we can safely say that they new Hyperbole Law has prevented a lot of Dunn rants today.

Well, at least he won't be starting for another week. I can't believe we continue to let him face LHP.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 09:44 PM) I mean, the one problem there is that we pretty much would have no backup OF after that. But yeah, you can't bat Dunn here. Teahen?

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 09:42 PM) Honest question: why do you care about the Cubs so much? And don't tell me your keeping tabs on the Royals. I haven't seen Carpenter pitch, so I wanted to check out if he threw a legit 99 mph.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 09:41 PM) I'm kinda looking forward to K number 100 in less than 230 at bats. I've always said if you're going to be bad, at least be brutally bad. With that said, I wouldn't mind a 475 FT bomb to RF. I'll take a walk

Check out comcast if you can. Carpenter just overthrew 1b by about 20 feet.

Setting up to be an interesting bottom of the 8th if Ozzie lets Dunn face a LHP.

Unreal game, even though I didn't think he got that off the bat.

Gift hit...give us a lead PK!
