QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 03:39 AM) No it isn't. Very few people here would trade that as trophy to get Morse back Agreed. It's just that we see former Soxhands coming back to haunt us now and with all the other stuff we are dealing with it just adds insult to injury

Our pen has been real good for quite awhile. I hope this isn't the forerunner to another crash. Don't want to get all crazt here though. We could use a Henry Rodriguez in our pen

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 03:33 AM) How many times this season when we blow 2-3-4 scoring opportunities early have we rallied to win late? The only difference was the insult added to injury with the homer being robbed against Dunn and the former Sox farmhand jacking one out against our equivalent of Tony Pena who had no business pitching in that situation....and no business pitching to that particular batter, either. This is errily similar to Hudson and Arizona beating us

Just plain wrong there .. a two run homer to the first guy the relief pitcher sees. I think the object of the move is to neutralize the batter with the pitching change. I think managers play the righty=-lefty game way too much

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 03:23 AM) Brian Bruney...oh man. Where's Jesse Crain? I was going to say over wrorked, but there was an off day yesterday

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 03:21 AM) Well, there's the steal. Make that 11

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 03:19 AM) I'm amazed they haven't stole second yet Bern--- has ten SB's and no caughts

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 03:16 AM) The hitch is fine, he just needs to stop taking huge strides along with the hitch. Once he shortens his pre-swing crap, he'll be fine. He did that for the second half of last season and he looked great. There's a hitch in there regardless But I I see what you are talking about. Leg coming up to far and then stepping way out?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 03:15 AM) That wasnt bad luck, it was weakly hit Overmatched

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 03:12 AM) Come on Gordo, 09 magic. I think the report is to throw him the fastballs cause the hitch in his swing is affecting him

Is Zimmerman trying to kill the Stealth Elf?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 03:07 AM) The video's up on Gameday. I saw it. Terrible luck for Dunn but great cathc

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 03:07 AM) Rios all over that I think Rios is coming around. Now if Adam can do it

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 03:05 AM) It went like 500 feet in the air and 370 horizontal I would have loved to have seen that

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 03:05 AM) It was a towering drive. He hit that 400 feet. It has to be coming...

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 03:03 AM) D'ya think Konerko could steal on AJ? I think he could certainly swipe a few. No I don't think so. AJ would probbaly bean him for trying to show him up

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 02:55 AM) Damn, damn, damn.....when it rains it pours Dunn. Well, let's hope he can build on that positively. Did he hit it hard? I have gameday

We seem to be calling for a Dayan Viciedo call up more all the time and complaining about Juan Pierre. But, I have never seen DV in the OF. How is his throwing arm? How many assists does he have at Charlotte? Of course he also swings a bat, which I agree seems to be a challenge for JP.

What level was Morse at in the Sox system when we traded him?

I know you have to have baseruuners, but didn't Ozzie say he was kind of shutting down any running game the Sox had because we were running ourselves out of the innings? I mention thatc asue I see the Nats have two SB's. I didn't know Werth was s runner. 10 SB's this year

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 02:24 AM) Legitimate question: at what point do you bench Dunn? I'm all for letting him work it out if you're not in a pennant race, but since we've climbed back into contention, you can't keep letting him hurt you. Hopefully he'll figure it out in the next few months, but for right now, the big man needs to take a step back and regroup. I think that is a legit question, but I don't think anyone has the answer. He has sat for a coule days, etc, but nothing works. I know he is frustrated but is his brain so scrambled at this point nothing might work? Maybe the All-Star break will be good for him?

Dunn and a strike out. It's like a broken record. Or like the sound of scrapping your fingernails down a blackboard. Yee Gads!

I can tell the mods post has resulted in much needed discussion and obviosuly reflection by some. I also believe with others it has possibly started love affairs and the such. It is good to see this clearing of the air and building of relationships.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 03:54 PM) Every time we do that, someone decides that there aren't enough threads to state how bad player x is. This is very true. Just look at some of the threads on a subject that all of sudden gets hijacked by "I hate this guy and this guy, etc." and then a pretty good exchange goes haywire

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 07:52 PM) Cmon guys we're all a family here. A dysfunctional one, for sure, but still a family. And yes, we have a few black sheep as well (J4L, Milkman, Greg, etc) but can't we all just get along? I feel pretty strongly in favor of that kind of
