That is scary. Line drive to the head. But, Humber is a battler out there. Hope is he is ok.

Defensively I think Danks is our top prospect. Not sure how his bat rates though

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 18, 2011 -> 07:41 PM) It's going to be a long offseason and next spring training with the Sox saying how good Dunn looks and how this year was a fluke, etc., and he's expected to return to 40 plus homers. He ain't getting any younger. off season? Heck we are hearing that now. Earlier in the year they were saying how he would catch on fire in the second half. Now we are haoing for a combo of 40 walks and singles. I keep holding out the hope that maybe for the last 30 games or so he finds it and hits a bunch of homers and drives in runs. Every at bat is a let down. But, I am sure no one is feeling it worse than Dunn. He must be devastated

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Aug 18, 2011 -> 08:44 PM) Dunn goes deep tonight. De Aza gets two hits. Rios goes 1-3 with a sac fly Humber labors but does okay. 6 IP, 7 hits, 3 ER Sox eek out a win 5-4 I'll be checking in on the game tonight and comparing

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 18, 2011 -> 05:51 PM) He had the best at bats on the team last night I did find it rather amazing how a team can go from 22 hits in 14 innings one night to 4 hits the next especially aganst a fellow with an ERA of almost 6.00. But, that's the the tail of the Sox this year I guess

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 18, 2011 -> 05:11 AM) Dunn got a hit and a walk tonight and no Ks. That's a pretty damn good night for him. Is he coming around? Maybe and then maybe that's all we can settle for anymore ? !

Why pay big bonuses to draftees anyway? How many actually blossom to grade A major league players? I would like to see the return versus the investment break down. I wonder what kind of bonus Mark Buerhle got? The quick promotion of our young talent like Beckham and Sale might be tied to the bonus money. My thought is maybe they get rushed too quickly and don't have a chance to learn the trade at the minor league level. Takes longer to learn at the big league level and that's why they struggle. Not to say they won't be real good casue I think they will but it just takes longer and we get mad when they struggle.

Humber has struggled lately and Stewart wasn't all that impressive. They both battle hard and that's a plus. I think it really is six of one and half a dozen of the other. Unless you are using a baker's dozen. I trust that Cooper and Ozzie know who is doing better and can perform as needed in the assigned role.

Humber has to step it up

QUOTE (MotownSox @ Aug 17, 2011 -> 11:06 PM) The White Sox need to keep the HEAT on Detroit! Would it be best to send Adam Dunn back to the MINORS to concentrate on HITTING and not hurt the team's chances? This has been brought up before and it just isn't possible and/or going to happen

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 02:54 PM) The only one I could see really coming close to earning their salary is Dunn, I just think Peavy will have too many arm issues (leading to injuries or lack of consistent good pitches) and Rios, well I thought he was garbage a year ago. Is the arm really the Peavy issue? Seems it was other injuries. Unless you consider the feeak shoulder muscle injury and arm injury?

Mark in to save the bullpen and the Sox continue to roll. That's my wish for today

Quentin

Konerko

De Aza

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 17, 2011 -> 12:55 AM) I say we try Dunn in CF too. Will work just about as well as that one. Can we just do water boy maybe? Please?

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 17, 2011 -> 12:52 AM) Q should've let that one go so G could try and break the strikeout record. Selfish. Using that MLB Gameday and kind of back and forth here at work failing to see gavin Floyd had 7 K's in 3 innings. Holy Cow!

I am kinda liking this De Aza kid

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 17, 2011 -> 12:28 AM) What new, Dunn? You just can't play him any longer. They're going to have to use Lillibridge or DeAza. I am at that point also that as much as I thought Lili was better for the super sub role maybe he should play and Dunn just sit for the rest of the season. (which I know won't happen)

I am not expecting much out of Flowers either and he K's

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Aug 17, 2011 -> 12:19 AM) for some reason I think dunn is going to have a good game Holding out hope for the walking dead. K's with the bases loaded in his first test of the evening.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 17, 2011 -> 12:15 AM) Quick solid first for G! Is it just me or is that first inning really important for Gavin. If he gets through it he usually has a good game. Kind of establishes himself right from the get go

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 08:38 PM) You're forgetting about Adam Dunn's brain injury and Alex Rios' heart injury. Perhaps the Wizard of Oz will fix them.... So that was the medical diagnosis on those two? I had no idea and I bet they had insurance too

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 10:21 PM) Hey a lot of people still don't want Pierre playing. Check the last game thread where I got mauled for merely suggesting Juan was a "good" baseball player. Juan is a good baseball player
