QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 03:26 AM) Sometimes i can't wait for Tyler Flowers. A catcher who can work an AB? WHAT???? Yeah, I can't wait for him to come up and strike out in 1/3 of his ABs!!

One of the worst losses of the season. This offense is just disgustingly bad right now, but no one has the balls to shake things up.

Haha, you have to be kidding me. I thought that was gone. This is so f***ing typical of every game here.

Great effort tonight AJP! Awful hitting and terrible defense.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 03:19 AM) I would go with something we haven't seen yet. Like maybe a bloop down the RF line that bounced over JD's head for a inside-the-parker? We haven't seen a ball lost in the ceiling lately, at least since C. Lee left town.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 02:17 AM) Linebrink should thank his lucky star, if he has one, for that pop out. Have you seen his contract and his ERA this year....he has many lucky stars

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 02:17 AM) So how will we give up a run or two making the ninth inning even more of an impossible task? A) Solo HR B) Error C) Bloop hits D) Walk, SB, bunt, Sac Fly E) Twinkie dust. Beckham hasn't made an error since the ASB. Maybe two errors on the same play by him and then a squeeze play?

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 03:15 AM) sometimes i hate this team Usually from the 5th inning on.

Josh Willingham has 2 grand slams tonight though. Oh, and I would love to see what teams would give up for Jermaine if we lose our next 4 games. I can't believe Garko brought back so much, as he seems like a platoon player to me.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 03:13 AM) I'm on the verge of a mental breakdown. If we lose tonight, I hope Ozzie goes off on everyone. Can I also say that Greg Walker really sucks at his job. I wonder if Beckham will have a sophomore slump also like our players usually do, or will he be good enough to rise above Walker's suckiness?

It's absolutely f***ing sickening to see how every hitter we have besides Beckham and Nix tonight have pulled off the ball. Dye might be the worst, as all you have to do is throw it on the outside half and he has no chance.

Pods and Alexei have looked awful tonight. No patience and no productivity.

Danks really pitched well tonight. He gave us a chance to win.

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 03:08 AM) LF and 1B? 1b and 2b

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 03:06 AM) Pods/Alexei/Beckham/Dye/Thome/Konerko/Pierzynski/Quentin/Getz That's not really breaking up the slow bunch though. I wonder if KW might go after another outfield bat like Luke Scott.

This defense is so comical. It's crazy to think it's way below average at every position besides two tonight.

How about shaking up the lineup? This lineup with Quentin in it is obviously not working. I still would love to see Beckham in the 3rd, 4th, or 5th spot just to add a line drive hitter to the mix. Having him bat behind the struggling Quentin is ridiculous.

I really wish we were sellers right now with the huge prices teams seem to be paying for average players. The Giants #9 prospect could be top 5 in many systems.

Damn, another hanger, and he just missed it. This is so typical of every f***ing game in Minnesota. It's a disgrace we haven't hit Perkins harder, as he has nothing on his pitches.

Fields is so far off the plate. He can't do anything with a pitch on the outside corner.

Swing the f***ing bat! How many hanging sliders can you pull foul and then take another hanger!

Better not be bunting

What a stud. It's great to see him batting with no one on base....ugh

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 02:50 AM) Why don't we just quit then? I didn't know Joe Nathan has never given up anything in his career. Give me a break. It would be nice to get a blown save against us for once this year against the closer. Thome and WISE are on the bench.

Feel free to scoop a ball Konerko.
