I thought he had no chance.

lol, I knew that two-strike approach was going to burn us. Where's Dunn to strike out when you need him?

For f***'s sake, he hit it too hard

Whatever, just get a hit Alexei

But...why

I have a feeling his innings will be decreased here shortly. The pulling up made sense but he watched the rest of the play develop without ever sprinting. I have no idea what went through his head, it would have made more sense if he had at least made some last ditch effort to run hard

What the f***?

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 9, 2012 -> 03:48 PM) He's going to be out for a bit Have we heard more about it?

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Sep 9, 2012 -> 03:44 PM) Lets just get one run this inning and I'll take our chances. Can Dunn come off the bench and drop some dick as soon as they take the lefty out?

We started looking like a well-oiled machine by the end of the game. I think Luck is going to be good too. Very poised, confident, and didn't really change despite turning the ball over. He racked up some decent yardage.

Someone put the sky back up there, it already fell at Soxtalk

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Sep 9, 2012 -> 03:24 PM) A couple of the gamethread regulars really need to get laid. They'd probably complain about it, too.

Christ, Guthrie might go 9 if we don't start hitting him.

We look really f***ing good. Can't wait to see how we do against Green Bay's s***ty defense. The best part is there is plenty of room to improve. Cutlet made several ill-advised throws and even B Marsh had a couple catches he didnt make. However...."it's all good!"

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 9, 2012 -> 10:54 AM) Well, Lopez was absolutely horrible two nights ago and Olmedo at least plays consistent defense. Not sure what they can do there, one area where KW seemingly dropped the ball. It's telling that Robin Ventura has a lot more faith and trust in Dayan Viciedo against RH'ers than Dan Johnson. The homer yesterday and the defensive gem that prevented Cain from scoring the 3rd run with Myers on the mound in the 8th were HUGE for the Sox....plus the assist from Alexei, who's the 3rd leading hitter with RISP in the AL this year. That has more than made up for his sub 700 OPS and low OBP and WAR and whatever SABR stat you want to throw out there. He's been as valuable, if not moreso, than any player on this team since June 1st. Leaders in fWAR in past 30 days Alexei 1.0 Flowers 0.9 Wise 0.6 Viciedo 0.4 Dunn 0.4

Tyler Flowers: 1.1 fWAR. Dear lord, he's only appeared in 46 games

QUOTE (Brian26 @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 08:54 PM) The Dodgers game was another blunder, that time mental more than physical, of epic proportions. Glad today didn't turn into a Brant Brown moment for the Sox. I remember that now, certainly more mental than physical but a blunder nonetheless. That game sucked

Any non-local fans going to be [illegally] viewing the game online?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 7, 2012 -> 04:55 PM) as of now. Apparently Goodell can resuspend them if he can prove intent to injure There has been a lot in the past couple years to try and dehorn Goodell. It started with the Williams twins in Minnesota I don't mind what Goodell is doing. Really.

I'd like to have Dunn's 38 dingers

Comeback starts now!!!!!!

QUOTE (zenryan @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 11:00 PM) Big 10 might not want to go west unless its the actual Rose Bowl game. I don't know what the hell UofI is doing with their QBs. Today I learned that our third QB's name is Osei. Unfortunately he had to throw a couple picks for me to learn his name...I don't like injuries.

A world in which we beat KC and Detroit consistently is probably one where we don't sweep the Yanks or Rangers

This Illini game is getting ugly.
