South Side Fireworks Man

Now it's time for Abreu to do his job.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jul 21, 2015 -> 12:53 PM) I'd much rather surround Tyler with a good offense. I'd much rather have a catcher that can catch.

Saladino is good.

Put Abreu on the DL.

Keep Saladino, trade everyone else.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 03:29 PM) But Avi is a future 30/30 guy. And he bears a slight resemblance to Miguel Cabrera, so that makes him "untouchable."

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 03:27 PM) The original deal was Peavy to Boston for Iglesias and the other 3 young guys, then we flipped Iglesias for Avi. It works out as a 3 way deal but we had Iglesias if we wanted him and instead flipped him for Avi. That was Rick Hahn's crowning achievement.

Great fundamentals - NOT!

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 01:35 PM) Ball went right into flails glove and then bounced right out. Why is he catching still I wish he would catch.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 01:35 PM) Team seems flat. Sale forgot to back up home there Robin and staff always has this team prepared like this.

OK, this is starting to suck again...

Dang, I thought that was gone!

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 18, 2015 -> 06:07 PM) Can Shuck play hero again? No, but Gio can!

Let's win today and tomorrow and keep our faint hopes alive.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 18, 2015 -> 06:02 PM) Great job by Jennings He looked like he was going to fall apart after he made that ill advised throwing error but came back nicely. Good job.

This is starting to suck.

Walk it off, Gordon.

Time for Abreu to show some power.

Jennings choking. Good comeback.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 08:43 PM) How the hell did the Sox succeed at a rundown like that? Saladino knows how to play baseball.

The more I see him the more I like Saladino.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 04:16 PM) 41st time in 87 games played this year the Sox have scored three runs or less. That's 56.3% of their games. Incredible. Another fan asked "when will this team start hitting?" Given that over half a season is in the books the probable answer is "not this year." As Kenny would say, "it is what it is..." Good to see you here, Lip.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 03:55 PM) I know it wouldn't work this way, but it's too bad they can't do a KW and Samardzija trade to Toronto for Hoffman and Pentecost Better throw in Hahn.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 03:50 PM) I'm realistic, its now or never and its one of the worst prepared clubs I've ever seen. From hitting to positioning to actually knowing how to play defense, they look like a team that is going through the motions. I know the players care, but they can only do so much without confidence in the staff. Time for an entirely new coaching staff, but also a new front office to hire the new manager/coaching staff.

OK, how about a walk off win, boys?
