QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 05:58 PM) Seriously, you're like a cliché manager or announcer. Are you Hawk? You gotta be bleeping me dadgummit. And I take that as a compliment

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 07:53 PM) I did want to see the replay before being an expert on that play. Sometimes there's nothing that can be done on the little flares out there, little pops that have ended careers with those fierce collisions. Has anybody STUDIED the replay? I have not. Did Juan blow it on that play or was it one of those things? I just assumed on first glance the team f***ed up royally, mainly Juan. I saw it

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 03:53 PM) More venom has been spewed towards Adam Dunn the last six weeks or so. Here and at the games. To paraphrase Cosmo Kramer: "we do what we do cause that's what we do."

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 03:49 PM) It was a bad play, if you can't see that then Im sorry. At the same time, Santos then proceeded to walk the next batter, and Olivo just crushed that pitch to score them both. We did a poor job recovering from the mistake. It was not a bad play. Apparently you and I watched two different plays and came to different conclussions. Pierre was all out and it looked like Morel was too. It landed in a "bad" spot and our players darn near collided giving it their all to catch the ball. Yes, we should have recovered from the missed catch, but Santos said he just didn't have it last night.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 03:33 PM) Problem is...if Juan Pierre is going to be starting everyday, he needs to be able to get to that ball. The fact that he was able to get to those balls last year offset some of his lack of productivity on offense. If he can't get to that ball, then he's giving below average production on both offense and defense. No confidence in himself because Soxtalk always picks on him

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 03:48 AM) Let's start a spirited debate about our various options of protest... Juan Pierre was playing deep to prevent doubles and was playing there as the coaches directed. He tried to make the catch and just missed it. It's the breaks of the game. It is just too bad that these bad breaks always seem to come back and haunt us. I just don't see the reason for this conversation other than we always look for the scapegoat.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 8, 2011 -> 10:39 PM) At least as of now, if you count the fact that we got 4 years of Jim Thome as well...Gavin Floyd + Jim Thome has almost certainly massively outtotaled the people we gave up in WAR. And really...the only guy who is going to change that calculus is Gio. I would agree that Gio Gonzales woud look good in our rotation. Jim Thome would still be welcome here too I think. I see Jimbo is on the DL or at least working through some medical problem

QUOTE (Real @ Jun 8, 2011 -> 08:25 PM) 2005 Sox trade Gio Gonzalez, Aaron Rowand, Daniel Haigwood to the Phillies for Jim Thome 2006 Sox trade Freddy Garcia to the Phillies for Gio Gonzalez, Gavin Floyd 2008 Sox trade Gio Gonzalez, Ryan Sweeney, Fautino De Los Santos to the A's for Nick Swisher 2008 Sox trade Nick Swisher, Kanekoa Texeira to the Yankees for Jhonny Nunez, Jeff Marquez, Wilson Betemit 2009 Sox designated Wilson Betemit for assignment, signs with Royals 2011 Sox designate Jeff Marquez for assignment, acquired by Yankees Players remaining in organization: Gavin Floyd, Jhonny Nunez Good run down. All those players for Gavin Floyd. Almost an even steven deal right?

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jun 8, 2011 -> 05:48 PM) jeff gray....... Lost him too just like Marquez. I guess it's one way to clear roster spots

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 8, 2011 -> 06:26 PM) Everyone on the starting roster, currently, with the exception of Ortiz, Bautista, and Hamilton (who doesn't deserve it) are Yankees. More reason to hate the Yankmees and also the way all-stars are selected

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 8, 2011 -> 06:26 PM) We have him under control for a while. Because of that, we wont start talking contract for some time, or at least we shouldn't. First things first.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 8, 2011 -> 06:01 PM) Watch him go there and dominate ;> He never threw a pitch in anger this year for the Sox, called up and sat. What a waste

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 8, 2011 -> 05:20 PM) BS. If he would have pulled himself without appearing to be ineffective first we would have been talking about how he is soft. I think you are more correct than the the other arguments. It's bad enough now to hear the negative comments about Peavy and his injuries, but at least he went out and tried. He did look unhittable the first three innings and I am sure he had no idea how the "strain" was going to affect him prior to that fourth inning

Looks like Saturday night WGN will have Sox and A's from Comiskey at 5:10 PM MDT. I am thinking maybe John Danks will start for Sox?

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jun 8, 2011 -> 04:59 PM) Nothing he can do. He's just a broken pitcher. That's what's frustrating. LOL man, you are like a constant string of clichés. I take that as a compliment

Dunn

Dunn

Gavin gets that sharp curve to working and then can mix in those other pitches well I then think he can win. Not asking too much is it?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 8, 2011 -> 02:23 PM) Maybe. I'm not even close to sure. That's great. LOL! I think you should just make things up as you go along, which is what I think Ozzie does

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 8, 2011 -> 04:15 AM) Humber has been so amazing. He deserves credit for saving his career. And I'd assume Coop helped him along the way? This guy has been rock solid all first half thus far. If he keeps this up, could he somehow make the all star team?? Morel. Sale. CQ has 15 home runs; Paulie 14. That's pretty damn good. Is Omar the oldest player in baseball history to slug a triple? I'd assume Julio Franco probably whacked several triples in his late 40s. We win w/out Dunn n Rios in the lineup. Interesting. Julio Franco hit a triple at age 46

Leave it to Juan and we are gone in that inning

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 8, 2011 -> 02:15 AM) Teahen was safe Umps are against the Sox. I want a congressional investigation

Good at bat by Lilli. Made Felix throw at least six pitches and went up the middle for a hit

Gameday is froze up. I guess Humber got out of it

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 8, 2011 -> 02:09 AM) But missed the cutoff man allowing the guy on 1st to get into scoring position and with a 4 run lead that's a no no. With the arm of Pierre I am shocked it made it to the infield to miss the cutoff man
