QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 12:57 AM) Shades of Mark Johnson and Royce Clayton at bottom of the line-up. Or Brian Anderson. It's the American League, yet we keep playing like NL teams. We haven't even faced any of the big boy lineups yet. This offense lived off of opening day the first week, but the last 7 games have been dreadful.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 12:55 AM) Why do we stink so badly? Bye bye, Ozzie. No way Jerry, as much as he likes u, is gonna let this continue through mid May. This team is so flat, someone's going to be the fall guy if it's mid May and we're 7-10 games below .500. I'm ready for Viciedo/Teahen to platoon in left and let Juan Pierre go play for the Chicago Little League squad.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 12:54 AM) What a terrible player. But he's hitting .280!

Pierre is just killing this team. It's funny having Lillibridge, Morel and Pierre batting consecutively in the lineup. Smallball, yay!

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 11:48 PM) Castro swing the bat! Seems he's done that a lot this year.

QUOTE (Real @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 11:43 PM) Every team in our division has a pitcher better than anybody we have, save the Royals (though will that be true next year?) I'd take Masterson over anybody in our rotation Who do the Twins have better than Danks? If you're saying Liriano, he's too much of a risk IMO.

QUOTE (Real @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 11:46 PM) So you have no problem with benching Dunn but have no problem with Pierre playing because Ozzie 'won't bench him' People wonder why so many here hate this clown. He makes ridiculous decisions! Of course it's ridiculous, but expecting Ozzie to use his players wisely would be naive now.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 11:45 PM) Only idiot managers use the sac bunt. True, considering both runners would have scored on the double anyways.

QUOTE (Real @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 12:41 AM) LOL? Yet Pierre can? It's Juan Pierre...Ozzie wouldn't have benched him for Barry Bonds in his prime.

QUOTE (Real @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 12:38 AM) horrid stretch of games for the sox right now, TB started slow but are playing awesome now, imagine when they get their lineup healthy meanwhile our multimillion dollar DH is being benched, of course Ozzie will act like the excuse of 'Price is a lefty' is valid. Since when do you pay somebody that kind of money who is essentially worthless against LHP Do you really expect Dunn to be able to hit Price, Liriano, etc? No problem with Ozzie benching him.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 12:36 AM) Twins sac bunt a drive in 2 something Sox never seem to do. They're also facing Chris Tillman.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 12:35 AM) Sox get a 3-2 count they are afraid to walk I guess. You don't get a .556 OPS by being selective

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 12:27 AM) Really frustrating when you look all around baseball and see young talent shining, while we're still waiting for Beckham to 'get it.' I was his biggest fan when he came up, but he's lost a lot of that star ability. Doesn't make consistent enough hard contact. Looking back at who we could have traded him for, you have to hope he figures it out as we need some good, cheap talent.

Big out by Jackson to keep us in the game.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 11:14 PM) How is Garza working for the Cubs? Fuld sparking TB. I always liked Fuld on the Cubs, but they were never willing to give him a shot. Great defender who always seemed like a tough out.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 11:13 PM) Looks like the Red Sawks have stopped f***ing around. Before you know it. the Twins will wake up and start winning too. I know it's early, but I would sure like the Sox to show some signs of life. IMO, Tigers are better than Twins. Better lineup, way better bullpen

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 12:11 AM) can't really dog other teams about attendance....the cell has been freaking empty this year Brooks should start hyping up Peavy's start on the 29th by saying "Come see Peavy...who knows if he'll be healthy for another start". That should get 18k in the stands.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 12:10 AM) sure, there's some speed, but it would be funny to line up Konerko, Dunn and Castro in a race. Dunn would look like Usain Bolt next to those guys

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 12:06 AM) haha! we truly have some slow as s*** players on this team This is one of our faster lineups in recent memory, it's just PK and Castro are two of the slowest guys to ever play baseball. Crazy to think we were one out away from 8-4...and now we're staring 7-9 in the face.

Ironic that Tampa has one guy with power in their lineup...and he homers

MAKE IT STOP! Terrible mojo with the Sox right now. Edwin with two mediocre starts since his high pitch count game.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 11:57 PM) Opponents are killing the Sox with 2 outs last few games! Yep, and we can't get a freaking hit with 2 outs to save our lives. This Tampa lineup is absolutely pathetic.

QUOTE (DukeofChicago88 @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 10:54 PM) This Rays lineup is weak. We shouldn't have problems. This game on paper is a blowout in our favor. David Price says hello. And no lineup with Pierre, Morel, Castro and Lillibridge = blowout on paper

Come on Rios...his mechanics at the plate are awful. He has no ability to pull the ball with authority. He's fouled off so many meatballs this season to the right side.

QUOTE (scenario @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 03:55 AM) Other than Jerry Reinsdorf laughing when asked about it. JR might want to ask KW then why the Sox asked for Logan Morrison
