Come on Chris...

QUOTE (Real @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 10:23 PM) sell off what? Rios and Dunn are the contracts that are destroying this team (And Peavy's) sell off the contracts that are actually helping the team, and keep the trash? this makes no sense. That is how you do the most effective rebuild. Maximize the value of everything. If a guy is performing at his contract level or is about to get paid more for performing, you move him. If a guy is underperforming, you hold them and try to get them back to normal value.

QUOTE (FlySox87 @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 10:20 PM) Even though his policies suck, talking s*** to the big kids on the block is still a poor idea. What's the downside for him of talking? More sanctions? As soon as everyone stops buying oil that'll work fine. No one is in any position for any actual military moves against them, and an Israeli strike on their nuclear facilities would be a godsend for his popularity.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 10:19 PM) Well, Chris Rongey said something like no matter how many games we lose before deadline, he'd rather we just go for it this year and hope for the best and not trade anyone. Will Rongey ever start saying a move is needed? That doesn't seem like his normal type of statement. His job is to defend the current roster until it's shaken up.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 10:13 PM) I kinda hope we lose tonight and the next five to force some change. f*** this team. A couple more losses might well push a selloff.

Ok, bets on how many innings this takes.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 10:00 PM) How many leads can 1 bullpen lose in 4 months f***! A whole lot more than this. Were no where near the league lead in BS.

QUOTE (mcgrad70 @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 09:59 PM) Overuse - Again, if 42nd in the league in appearances is overuse, then it's time for the 10 man bullpen, because we can't use anyone.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 09:59 PM) I've never been less upset at the thought of a possible loss. 2007.

QUOTE (mcgrad70 @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 09:57 PM) Guillen is just the absolute worst - let these starters finish the damn game Are you nuts? Danks at nearly 110 pitches coming off the dl in 90 degree + heat?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 09:57 PM) Again, playing like a team that wants to get their manager fired. Rios really needs to just get a seat on the bench for a month. What did rios do?

2 pitches. All it took.

QUOTE (mcgrad70 @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 09:55 PM) Crain's going on the disabled list soon.... Huh?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 09:51 PM) I'm suddenly really hoping maier bunts. Yup.

I'm suddenly really hoping maier bunts.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 09:50 PM) How are we not 32nd in hitting? Offense around the league is down that much.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 09:49 PM) They're going to need more offense against the likes of CLE, DET, BOS and NYY. We got it in Detroit last time.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 09:47 PM) Stupid baserunning, opportunity blown. We all know what happens next half inning right? Whose fault was that? I looked away and Hawk didn't say a name.

QUOTE (elgonzo4sox @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 09:42 PM) What did you think during that 1-0 game Danks pitched in 2008 when our only run was scored on a homer? ;-) "man I wish the twins didn't have this kind of pitching. Why couldn't they be stuck with someone like Bruce Chen."

That'll end Beckhams 10 game hitting streak.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 09:41 PM) Nobody plays a better 2B than Bacon. 2 errors in 2 days

Yet another night where Ozzie is pushing his starter too much. Even if John gets through this inning I don't like it.
