QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Jul 10, 2005 -> 12:54 AM) Let's drop the "Trade Konerko" talk please. As soon as Paulie heats up and starts bashing the ball in clutch situations, which he will, everyone will be cheering for him again. The whole offensive team scked this Oakland series. Frank came through with a big situational hit (SF in the 6th) but no one else could do anything. It's not from this series with Paul and you nailed his biggest problem on the head, he is way to streaky. For a guy that's your cleanup hitter and is supposed to be your rbi guy you can't have that kind of streakyness. I really just don't like seeing him up in a big situation, he's always trying to pull the ball out of the yard and overall he's just not a very clutch player even when he's hot. Not to mention he has no range and if he's on base he isn't going anywhere fast. I've just really had enough of him but you're right Pauly won't be traded this year.

Against Oakland there isn't a pitcher I'd rather have out there then Freddy.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 9, 2005 -> 09:48 PM) I guess I'm in a small crowd of people that likes Dunn. Konerko has an .803 OPS, compared to Dunn's .932. The K's don't bother me when you walk as much as he does -- .388 OBP last year, .385 this year. He's 25 years old, and posted a 152 OPS+ last season. That's ridiculously awesome. Looks like he's on the way to doing the same this year. I don't mind the k's, I mind the batting average, I can't stand players that hit for that low of an average that are in the middle of the order but that's just me. I'd love for Ross to be starting everyday or ideally I'd love Jermaine to be able to handle first everyday with Carl in right. I really can't deal with PK anymore but we're stuck with him for this year so hopefully he can get his s*** righted. EDIT: By the way I have nothing against Dunn but I wouldn't want him batting 4th, I'd have no problem with him down in the order.

QUOTE(Antonio Osuna @ Jul 9, 2005 -> 07:09 PM) What a pathetic letdown tonight. 9 game lead. Probably 8 going into the ASG. The wheels are falling off this team. It'll be nice when you get banned from here as well.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Jul 9, 2005 -> 07:08 PM) Is it worth risking an injury w/ that kinda lead? Hard nosed players are always going to play balls out, that's how it should be.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 9, 2005 -> 07:06 PM) Jenks aint facing minor league hitters (Tampa) tonight. Tampa can hit.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Jul 9, 2005 -> 07:05 PM) Byrnes slides into 1st w/ a 4 run lead Why not?

First hit off Jenks.

Jenks used his change.

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Jul 9, 2005 -> 06:59 PM) this is ridiculous, why can we not beat the f***ing A's, they have no big name players except for kendall chavez and zito, this is f***ing bulls***, i cant watch this anymore but im yet im still going to watch this turn into an even bigger disaster Having the most big name players wins you champinonships.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 9, 2005 -> 06:57 PM) Another mothercuking pop-up. f*** you Widge! Eveyone who gets an out from now on gets a nice f*** You! Right back at ya. :finger

Time for Jenks to get some more work.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 9, 2005 -> 06:49 PM) Cordero, Carrasco, Eischen, Ayala, and Majewski is pretty damn good, especially since they probably all make around the minimum. Talking about the A's not the Nats.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 9, 2005 -> 06:46 PM) They have a good bullpen. They had their chance with the 4 and 5 hitters and couldn't get the run home. Konerko should not be batting clean up. His average with RISP is horrible. They have 2 studs in their bullpen but after that it ain't very good, I wouldn't call it a good bullpen.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 9, 2005 -> 06:43 PM) PK = 19 meaningless HR's, Aaron = Mr. Juicey-K Oye ve. One guy claims aaron is juicing, now everyone believes it. This is no shot at you fathom but just because he said that doesn't mean aaron was a roid user.

f***

How about a wild pitch.

I honestly can't stand that guy anymore.

Cmon Paul.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 9, 2005 -> 06:38 PM) Wow, great time for the double steal. Avoids any chance of a triple play on a grounder by Frank.....jk. Beautiful Frank, f***in beautiful. Get him in Pauly.

Double steal, I f***IN LOVE IT.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 9, 2005 -> 06:36 PM) Big improvement from earlier in this year, where Iguchi looked awful against Zito. Makes perfect sense though, he got to see him. Ok, for those of you who think scotty doesn't mess with pitchers heads, you guys are crazy. That's directed at one person in particular.

I think Zito's a bit worried about scotty.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 9, 2005 -> 06:34 PM) Cubs player Adam Greenberg got hit in the head during his first career MLB AB. Ouch.
