QUOTE (Real @ May 1, 2011 -> 12:10 AM) Starting to think this teams routine slow starts are due to league adjustments made over the offseason whereas our club doesn't do their due diligence with regards to adjusting to their opponents, which would be coaching/advanced scouting That would be known as The Greg Walker Effect

Strike 5 to Konerko there. Come on Dunn

This organization would never do a true rebuild though like what Cleveland and Tampa had to do. Too much money being a Chicago market team to suffer like those teams did.

Quentin has been a pop up machine it seems. He has 1 RBI in last 7 games.

I'm sick of these players that can't even hit the ball out of the park when they launch one. This is the freaking AL.

Another terrible at bat by Beckham. Orioles scouting report is definitely throw fastballs inside, as they know the Bust won't be able to get the barrel on it.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ May 1, 2011 -> 12:48 AM) I've never said this about the Sox, as I've watched every game for as long as I can remember, all season no matter what. But....I'm almost ready for this to be broken up and imploded before we go any farther. This team has critical fundamental flaws that a 'win streak' isn't going to fix... Agree 100% with you. This team just goes out on the field trying to find new ways to lose it seems. I know I'm a critical bastard, but yesterday when I said how we suck in every aspect of the game, even the optimistic posters couldn't think of something we're good at. I just hope KW and Ozzie and Buddy Bell are shown the door, along with Walker.

Wow, terrible throw by AJP. It's painful watching him back there.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 1, 2011 -> 12:41 AM) He's our B.J. Upton. He's easily been the most dissapointing player on this team. Except Rios makes nearly 3 times what Upton does.

Humber has very little on the mound tonight. Seems to be a common theme lately. He really needs to have better command of his fastball to be a consistent starter.

In all my years of watching Dunn, I've never seen him hit so many weak pop ups to left field. At least there's some boo birds coming out for Rios, who just gave us another atrocious AB.

Just noticed Juan Pierre hasn't scored a run since 4/21

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 1, 2011 -> 12:34 AM) What kinda stuff does Humber have? I can't tell s*** from where I'm sitting. He hung nearly every pitch he threw in the 2nd.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ May 1, 2011 -> 12:26 AM) No kidding. He's throwing some meat up there. But it doesn't matter with this team. The psyche on this team is awful. Konerko and his should shrugs and bat tosses seems defeated already. I'd take this Orioles lineup over the Sox, no question.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 1, 2011 -> 12:19 AM) Ugh, that was bad luck on the run. Humber's got tons of movement on his breaking pitch tonight, he just needs to keep it out of the dirt. That pitch was fine...in a strikeout situation, you have to be able to trust your catcher to block a pitcher in the dirt. AJP deserves a ton of blame for last night, but of course, no one cares enough to really bring that up.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 30, 2011 -> 11:03 PM) I booed for like 2 min when JP was announced. And this is a s***ty ass crowd for such a beautiful night. Looks to be about 27k

AJP's defense seems to be worse than ever. Can't block a pitch in the dirt to save his life...and we all know he has a gun behind the plate....NOT

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 30, 2011 -> 11:28 PM) Just got to the park. First of all, portal potties are f***ing disgusting. Second, I haven't seen this many f***ing hot ass mexican girls in a while. I'm going to get my liquid courage on and hopefully I'll be livin la vida loca later tonight. Post of the year material here

Loved first two Bears picks, dislike next two picks.

No one is going to take Peavy off our hands next year unless he comes back throwing 94 mph this year and puts up an ERA around 3

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 30, 2011 -> 02:57 AM) Wieters vs. Posey...who do you like? Both...from that draft, it's crazy how good Smoak looks now compared to what he looked like last year.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 30, 2011 -> 02:52 AM) There's no quit in this ball club? Did you see the way Konerko ran to 1st? Ha, don't get certain people started on the leadership ability of The Captain.

Yes, that Watson information seems legit. Typically, NBA awards leak a few days before they're announced.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Apr 30, 2011 -> 03:43 AM) With Ozzie sitting out tonight, it's clear to see he's not the problem of this team at all. So I believe it's time that everyone quit calling for his head. You're right, a manager missing one game totally changes the fundamentals and approach of a team. I'm sorry Ozzie, I should have never blamed you for the 25 players that you supervise 160 games a season. Hey Sin, your boy Jenks is going to get run out of Boston soon.

Ha, nice swing Beckham. Looked like he was trying to hit someone in the knee with a bat.
