I have been told there is more than one way to skin a cat so let's find one of those ways and win this series

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 14, 2012 -> 02:18 PM) That is a pretty bizarre way to state it. Usually when I see a kid get lit up, I think he had a bad day, not he got hurt. I would hope it was just abad day. Inevitable any youngster is going to get lit up once in awhile. I see Jared Weaver got lit up by Texas too. Funny watching him walk off the mound when he got taken out singing along with the Rangers music "hit the road Jack"

Viciedo

Konerko

Ramirez

Rios

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 13, 2012 -> 10:36 PM) Sox should sign Joe Crede Thank you. If you have his phone number send it to KW TODAY!

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 14, 2012 -> 03:16 PM) He played RF last year. Is RF better for Dunn since that is where he last played the OF? If that is where he may have some comfort level move Rios to LF for the series. We need Dunn's bat and can always remove him late for defensive purposes

We lost. Some disturbing issues in this game, but tomorrow is a new game and we start the top of the 1st tied 0-0 so let's GO!

QUOTE (almagest @ May 13, 2012 -> 08:12 PM) This is what happens when you score 1 run against a mop-up pitcher. No offense means you can't make any mistakes and we did yesterday and today. I think that kid had no average too

I.m sorry

Let's hope Thornton finds his control and doesn't blow this game for Phil and the team

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 13, 2012 -> 08:06 PM) I'm sure he'll be a good hitter at the MLB level. My biggest concern with him is his weight. Will he be able to keep from blowing up? Kind of an issue we saw with Dunn I think?

Phil was very impressive today for sure. Great to see it and I am sure he feels real good about his performance. I am surprised that Robin came and got him with 2 outs, but probbaly the right move to make

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 13, 2012 -> 08:01 PM) He'll get hot. I'm sure part of his problem is he sees his numbers on the scoreboard. He mght be a bit overwhelmed by big league ball and big leaguer pitching, etc. I would give him time too

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 13, 2012 -> 08:00 PM) So how do you know that he's not interested in learning how to hit, rather than struggling to adapt to the pitching as he has at every level? You clearly have some impressive insight into his mental state beyond what has been reported by anyone, to the point where you know that he's given up on trying to learn anything and can inform us all of this. I'd really love to know where you became such a trusted friend of his. Do you speak spanish? You need to ask, "se habla espanol?"

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 13, 2012 -> 07:54 PM) Viciedo seems to have no real clue as to which pitches he can actually hit hard...that's probably the thing that most makes me think he will never pan out. I am not sure about calling him a failure just yet, but his hard hit balls seem fewer and farther in between

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 13, 2012 -> 07:52 PM) I really hope to see Nate start to get a more important role...obviously not today since he went 2.1 yesterday, but he's really been outstanding. Crain should be back tomorrow too. I was impressed with Jones. Nice if he does get more of a role. Crain being back can't be anything but positive. No deas who goes down though. I am betting Stultz as he needs to start and Sale seems back in the role

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 13, 2012 -> 07:49 PM) After that inning I have no problem with him starting the 7th, that was dominant. YES

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 13, 2012 -> 07:46 PM) If Humber can get through this inning, I think the Bullpen can keep them off the board. But, if he is going good I bet Robin V leaves him in that extra inning. Just hope it isn't an inning too long

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 13, 2012 -> 06:49 PM) Morel had a cortisone shot in his back. Not good. Bulging disk is what I read. But, then Morel says it isn't a big issue. Well, we have seen a number of 3Bmen for the Sox in the past with back issues and it is never good. All you can do is hope Morel is ok.

Beckham twice to RF. Must be going that way for a reason? I am hoping he is just trying to go with the pitch cause that will pay off in the end. Dunn also lining one to left for a hit

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 13, 2012 -> 07:38 PM) The highlight today is Humber showing he can still get guys out. I was beginning to wonder. Just checked in to see us up 1-0 and I am in agreement with your assessment of Humber;s outing

The line up can deliver and so can Humber. It's time for all of them and today it is perform for your Momma day
