He was safe but I always wonder why the guy covering 2nd on that type of play doesn't catch the ball on the outfield side of 2nd base. He'd get the throw and the throw's natural momentum will allow the tag to be apllied a split 2nd sooner tagging the sliding runner on his right side rather than his left. Wow they called him out.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 15, 2014 -> 10:50 AM) Wrigley Field is in a more crime-ridden area than USCF. Yet people instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. Swallows

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 24, 2014 -> 06:52 AM) Alexei, Abreu, Dunn is all I can remember. Who are the other two? http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/mlb/gameda...&mode=video http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/mlb/gameda...ap&c_id=cws

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ May 24, 2014 -> 04:43 AM) As much as I'd hate to see Dunn go, his trade value is skyrocketing right now, and even if the Sox keep Dunn and sneak into a WC spot, I don't see the starting pitching there to make a serious postseason run. Some teams are going to be very desperate for a power bat come July. I can see it now . Sox contending for the wild card and trading Dunn. White flag part deux , deja vu all over again.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 24, 2014 -> 04:48 AM) Hawk was really selling that inane stat More just for you then. That was the 10th walk offf HR of Dunn's career, 2nd only to David Ortiz 11 among active players. Sox 5th walk off of the season is 1st in the AL.

1st time in 40+ years we beat the Yanks 8 in a row at home.

Dunn has been the man since Abreu went down with 3 GWRBI the last 3 wins.

Dunn has come up huge lately with 3 game winning hits , possibly in the last 3 Sox wins.

Take away the 1st inning and Noesi hasn't been bad in his starts.

The Rangers were blowing out Detroit so Detroit puts in backup infielder Danny Worth to pitch . This was the first time he has pitched on any level. He proceeded to K all 3 TX. hitters he faced with knuckleballs.

Now let's get down to business and get a few more runs and a V.

That was a nice low pitch count inning.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 20, 2014 -> 12:56 PM) Enough for a Japanese 2nd baseman? Is the discussion being recorded and if so can you post a link to a podcast of it afterwards ?

Those are talent issues . The guys picking up the slack have risen above their level of talent shown last year like Gillaspie, Alexei, Dunn , Beckham and Flowers.

This team is pretty damn resilient. 4/5 starters have had some problem or another weather it's health or poor pitching. With all the injuries staying around .500 is a minor miracle. A lot of guys are picking up the slack.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 20, 2014 -> 01:52 PM) I can see it for sure, but I have NEVER heard anyone use that nickname. I thought for sure you read Southside Sox. It's used all the time there.

I'll take back to back 7-6 V's.

That passed ball was a strike should be 0-2

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 20, 2014 -> 08:13 PM) Thought Flowers was just going to free fall into the .240's. Kudos to Tyler for battling his way through this tough period and at least not being an automatic out. You'll have to wait a little longer beforing declaring Flowers to be permanently under .300 ( again)

QUOTE (fathom @ May 20, 2014 -> 08:11 PM) So where was Webb in the 8th If Bellarisario is pitching the 9th and shows any signs of fatgue then Webb will come in or Webb might pitch the 9th.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 20, 2014 -> 07:57 PM) Ventura caught sleeping in the 8th I'm surprised you'd say this. I am not a Ventura advocate at all but when you have a 3-4 run lead and you used your 2 best guys 2 innings each last night who did you expect to pitch ? Downs and Francisco have to pitch when a lead is semi-comfortable.

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 20, 2014 -> 07:32 PM) Gillaspie and Beckham have hit the ball hard in their ABs? 2 of Gillaspie's 3 hits were very hard hit. The other hit was a humpbacked liner to left. His one out he was purposely trying to pull to move Beckham to 3rd and hit a 2 hopper that got the job done.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 20, 2014 -> 07:28 PM) Wait Greg advised me to bet my house on KC!!! This is bad!! If Sox win this and it's sure looking that way , they will have won 9 of the last 12 in KC I believe.

Oh yea BIG DONKEY !
