I'm sure we'll let our scouts look at him and some may already have an idea.

I'm starting to feel better but I can't help but wonder if Dunn would benefit from a day off. But maybe not, honestly I don't know him and how he works. Maybe he should try laying a bunt down again or something. Right before he went into the slump he had racked up some hits the opposite way, that wouldn't be the worst approach to try to get everything going again

That was weird, but I'll take it

Today we have one of these two guys, take your pick: against this asshole what are you squinting at? Did YOUKKKKKK hit the ball THAT far? Let's get 'em boys, time for a new streak!

Probably saying "Youk"

We would be thrilled and surprised if Dan Johnson put up the same numbers that Dayan has

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 25, 2012 -> 10:10 PM) He is who he is. Incredibly streaky hitter that just so happens to be in a funk when Dunn and Konerko also are. He needs to talk to Frank Thomas about how to get by without ever hitting an inside fastball

Damn did he hang that one to Dayan. Dayan is trying so hard to hit the inside pitch that he can't hit outside pitches AND he still isn't hitting the inside pitch

Burton is hardly pausing at all

"Hey Viciedo I didn't come all the way from Chicago to see you ground out" LMAO

Alexei might be snapping out

I hope Liriano broke his ass cheek

We've been taking a lot of easily hit pitches

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jun 25, 2012 -> 07:58 PM) How come Peavy was charged with the ER with the Rios error The hit(s) that followed made it not matter that we gave up the extra base

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 25, 2012 -> 07:56 PM) If you want to blame someone for a play that should have been made, PK was slow to react on Plouffe's cheap single. Absolutely. He has regressed very rapidly over there. This has been a game of lucky ass plays

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 25, 2012 -> 07:53 PM) I think Youkilis should have stopped Rios' bad throw. Definitely. And Peavy should have been back there. It was a three way error

When did this game become a blowout?

He tested positive for tamoxifen, which is anti-estrogen pharmaceutical most commonly used by men when in post-cycle therapy. It was discovered as a breast cancer treatment oddly enough. Byrd says he was given the stuff from a "holistic lifestyle coach" from Florida and didn't bother looking into what it was. If that story is true, the person that gave it to him was an idiot because this pharmaceutical does no good as a standalone addition to an exercise regimen, unless he has an endocrine dysfunction (in which case he should see a doctor)

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 25, 2012 -> 05:26 PM) Heh

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 25, 2012 -> 02:17 PM) Ok, that is an error...that is not even the same dude. Agreed. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 25, 2012 -> 02:30 PM) I have heard Cuban pro ball likened to about our High A or AA ball. I have heard this as well. Their top league stats are at least worth listening to.

QUOTE (balfanman @ Jun 25, 2012 -> 04:49 PM) Agree 100%. Just trying to think of a justification for this. Perhaps the track records of the respective hitters? And if Gordon is put into a slump by batting in the easiest spot in the lineup, he's never going to be an MLB player. I didn't immediately think to make the lineup this way, but I get the logic and you're going to give the guy with two rings on his hand some credit. This also doesn't disrupt the middle of the lineup where there are some mental midgets like Alex Rios, as well. Gordon got out of his slump a long time ago and it wasn't all done in the 2 hole. It's going to be okay.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 25, 2012 -> 01:36 PM) Well not really. I don't think you spell it the same but what the heck why not have two super subs? I think Eduardo and Jordan Danks can take care of all of our pinch running and outfield/infield defensive needs. Orlando Hudson can play anywhere in the infield as well and brings a fun, veteran presence to the clubhouse. We still have plenty of flexibility to bring in a guy like Dan Johnson if we really want and potentially get a bigger bat on the bench. If Brent's hit tool was better, it would make sense to have both he and Eduardo. In Brent's current role, his batting was like an all too good Brent Morel imitation. Eduardo is younger and is hitting better off the bench (and plays far better IF defense) and the arrival of Jordan Danks begins to negate the need for Brent's defense in the OF. Youkilis allows you to pull the 1B for a PR and still get a GG-caliber 1B over there. Hudson or Escobar will man the hot corner late in some of these games as a result. We basically just have more flexibility than we even may need on the bench at this point.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 25, 2012 -> 01:24 PM) Sox traded him back to Toronto in the offseason. When we last played Toronto, he didn't have much in the way of numbers either. But...DUMP CRAIN HE SUCKS

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 25, 2012 -> 01:28 PM) Let's see he can play LF-CF-RF, 1B, 2B, SS and 3B, can pinch hit and pinch run, can steal a base for you ... I think there are plenty of good reasons to like Lillibridge. I am only saying that hew can fill that super sub role well. Correct me if I am wrong but I sure don't think he had many chances to play this season. Ventura seems to like to let his reguars get the lions share of playing time. That's fine but guys like Lilli and Escobar get forgotten it seems His name is Eduardo Escobar

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 25, 2012 -> 01:17 PM) Where is our Liriano?
