QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 10:47 PM) Am I the only one here that still thinks we get a W today? Only if we get to face Jenks

Who would have ever predicted coming into year that Quentin and Beckham would be only respectable defensive players?

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 09:23 PM) Didnt they sub him out and then back in for the last possession? Nope, he fouled Dunleavy.

One thing with Dunn is that if he can't turn it around against a sinker baller like Penny, then it might be a while still before he gets going. Scherzer will probably overmatch him tomorrow.

QUOTE (MuckFinnesota @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 10:31 PM) No, the worst game was when they screwed it up against Tampa Bay and had five runs scored against them in the ninth to lose. We hit great that game and Crain looked fantastic. That team played with a lot of confidence.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 10:33 PM) so we're looking at being 6-7 games out by May.. lmfao. That's possibly optimistic. There is a report on twitter that says Peavy felt soreness taking off the microphone after his interview today.

QUOTE (MuckFinnesota @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 10:31 PM) Thank you Dunn for coming off of your steroids before joining this team. Overpaid. Never heard one rumor about him being on steroids. Konerko and him are typically thought of as two of the cleanest players. Right now, he just can't hit the ball. He'll still end up with 35-40 homers and a lot of walks.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 10:30 PM) According to WAR, Carl Crawford is the worst player in the MLB this year. Rios if the 5th worst, and Pierre is the 7th worst. Lol, that's sooooo bad. And then there is Quentin who has been the 7th BEST player in baseball this year. Who's 2-3-4

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 10:27 PM) Yeah, you got the point. Sigh. Sorry, I'm just really frustrated by what I'm seeing on field today. Almost like they expect to lose. I'm trying to be optimistic that this is just a terrible slump....

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 09:26 PM) Oh come on fathom, you're more of an adult than this. He does have toe pain that he's complaining about. He's had it for 5 years, but decides to complain about it now.

At this point, if we can put Rios on waivers and have someone claim him, you drive him to the airport. That's one contract that would be great to rid ourselves of.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 09:24 PM) First triple of Alex Avila's life. Thanks, Rios. I'm almost wishing we had DeWayne Wise or Brian Anderson back, along with all the money KW's been wasting on Rios for most of the last 3 seasons. ALMOST? Hell, I wish there was a Scream 5 out for me to go watch and not have this torture on my TV.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 10:22 PM) And now Rios f***s up a ball in CF? LOL. This team's defense/offense/pitching is just terrible right now. I can't believe Quentin is our best fielder so far this year. Ahaha. f*** it, put Rios on the DL with vagina/toe pain. Bench Pierre, and play De Aza and Viciedo in CF/LF. No way they could be worse overall than Rios/Pierre have been. It will never happen, but Rios truly might be the worst overall player in the majors this year.

Way to run to the ball Rios. This might be the worst game of our season so far.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 09:20 PM) Wow, you get Boozer open for 3? Crappy job there. Between that and having Korver in on a defensive possession, Thibs is going to get blasted.

I'm sorry, but this is ridiculous. Pull Pierre and Rios off the field until they can catch a fly ball. Is that 6 misplays between them now?

Seriously, infield in with no one out in the 4th inning of a tied game against the worst pitcher in the AL? If that's not an indictment on our offense, nothing is.

PK must have had a rough night. It's really hard to imagine a team more lifeless at the plate. We all made excuses for when we were getting shut down by Cy Young candidates. But this is pathetic so far.

9 up, 9 down. Just realized what bugs me about Morel's swing. Every swing seems like it's an 0-2 swing trying to protect the plate. I hope he likes Charlotte in May.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 09:40 PM) Penny is literally putting it RIGHT DOWN the heart of the plate and Sox hitters are taking terrible cuts. Dunn is the worst. His path to the ball is awful. Just awful. Penny's fastball is tailing right down the heart of the plate. The top of the 2nd was ridiculous, as PK struck out on a terrible pitch and then Dunn couldn't catch up to a 92 mph 3-1 fastball.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 09:40 PM) Yup, its the NL Arizona Dbacks Edwin we got today, def not the AL Detroit Tigers Edwin form 09. His average fastball seems down this year, but I haven't seen any stats to back that up. Just feels he not popping the mitt like he did when we first got him last year.

Rios is swinging in the same spot every time, regardless of what type of pitch it is. Maybe it's time to reconstruct his swing, as there's nothing to lose right now.

First time watching Mattingly manage. Maybe it's not a good idea Don to let your set-up man try to go 2 innings and eventually give up 5 ER. Dodgers fans apparently can't stand him.

Real quick, looked at radar and there's nothing close to Michigan. Are they calling for rain?

Well, I'm being dragged to see Scream 4. Someone do a rain dance for me.
