QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 01:57 AM) Didn't KW make mention that there would be PLENTY of DH options for us late in last offseason and also at the deadline? Seems to me there aren't too many options that won't cost us the farm... There was a certain radio personality that made it seem that it was ok to not worry about the DH, as it's very easy to find someone if you need to trade. My favorite was when people would call this person's radio show and tell them that midseason acquisitions rarely have a big impact...and this person was stumped.

We had won 6 straight I believe against pitchers we haven't faced.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 02:53 AM) REALLY sick of AJ. That was a terrible approach. Seems like this new stance is going to give him even less power than he's had. We have an NL #8 hitter batting 6th in the AL.

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 02:51 AM) with the names being tossed about i think he will wait perfect

doc, do you think KW is trying to make a trade ASAP, or is he going to wait until mid/end of July?

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 02:43 AM) You've referred to this few times already, can you tell me exactly what said. He said after the game yesterday that he hopes they didn't have a letdown after the winning streak/Cubs series. As anyone that follows the Sox knows, whenever PK says stuff like this, the issue comes true.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 02:43 AM) And if he's not playing defense he's giving us nothing. I wish he went back to being in mgmt's doghouse

good job Ozzie!

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 01:41 AM) How exactly does one explain only 3 hits against this hot garbage that is pitching against us. It makes no sense. Cause our captain predicted the emotional letdown?

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 02:40 AM) Omar has been nice for us defensively and filling in for Teahen but we need to do better in the 2 hole, we cannot expect him to keep putting up the numbers he has over the past 3-4 weeks. Andrew Jones needs to be DFA'd and we need to get an everyday DH and play Kotsay once a week and keep him as a PH. Completely agree, you can argue all you want about the NL helping us out, but KW needs to take advantage of the second chance this season and fix these issues now before things get crappy again.

Damn, thought for sure Rios hit that out. These 1-2-3 innings are s***ty tonight.

This would have been the perfect pitcher to have Viciedo face, as there's not a lot of tilt on his pitches. We're going to be begging to get Teahen back shortly, I have a feeling. Omar's bat seems to be dragging.

STOP BUNTING!

Let's get some runners on for Rios!

Hard to argue about a blown call tonight when KC could have put up a huge crooked number in the first if Guillen wasn't called out.

Beckham flying open way too much again.

I was hoping to never see that 0-1 Beckham swing again. It's amazing how consistently inconsistent he's been.

This offense really cannot do anything unless it's the 3-4-5. HELP KENNY!!

Will Andruw reach 400 homers before being released?

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 02:17 AM) i alluded to it earlier in the other thread asking if you guys would do a certain trade for dunn. prince is not available. havent heard any talk of laroche at all. another setup man is a target. Interesting...are those the actual names being thrown out? If they are, then I hope Dunn tears his ACL tonight.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 01:15 AM) Yes. He slides feet first and with his body VERY high every time. There's no room for adjustment with a foot first slide, if the throw beats you you're out. When you come in tall like that you're just making it easier for the fielder to get the glove on you when there's a high throw. There's just so much more to be gained by going head first, you're low and have more maneuverability. Fantastic observation, and it cost him the SB and the Sox a run.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 01:14 AM) Wow, now that's getting robbed. He makes that play, but Buehrle can't make the play on DeJesus.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 01:12 AM) He was tagged out before he got to the bag mostly due ot his s***ty slide. CARLOS!! Was it you that said Rios is bad at sliding into 2nd?

CQ continues to rake!

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 01:11 AM) He beat that throw though. Thought he was out, as he didn't reach the bag very quickly on the slide.
