QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 29, 2011 -> 10:25 PM) Sox need to figure out some sort of way to magically score runs that doesnt involve hits. Im thinking swinging at passed balls for dropped 3rd strike. Or maybe just trying for walks and being beaned. Im just not sure that a team of AAA players would be consistently held under 3 runs so often. Its just unbelievable. Again... This is where offense in MLB is this year.

7 IP, 2ER, pitched over 2 defensive lapses. Sound a lot like Gavins line from last night.

QUOTE (iguchi=dank @ Jun 29, 2011 -> 10:10 PM) Gotta let dunn at bat this inning to maybe get ubaldo out right? if that spot comes up? I wouldn't take mark out for Dunn. Mark might have a better bat.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 29, 2011 -> 10:07 PM) Isn't it 2-1? No?

M-56 rolling

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 29, 2011 -> 10:03 PM) And Morel's at .560 and showing no signs of driving the ball And hes at .675 for the last 8 weeks.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 29, 2011 -> 09:56 PM) Yes, in our offense, I'd rather have the guy who can hit the ball out of the park. It's also probably 99% likely that .220 hitter has more walks than Morel does. Again the average 3b in MLB right now has a .680 ops.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 29, 2011 -> 09:49 PM) picked off 2nd, easily. Becks went warning track last AB, looked good Got a breaking ball hit it more up than long.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 29, 2011 -> 09:48 PM) Wait, what happened with Buehrle? I thought he had a double. Also, I missed the Beckham outs tonight. Anything hit good? Picked off of second, was a bit not Paying attention and got caught.

Time for a morel single.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 29, 2011 -> 09:46 PM) Kudos for your Alex Rios crusade, I've had a few with others in the past, but Rios has been awful this year and got singled out on a team that looks like it goes through the motions pretty often for going through the motions by his manager. He's terrible and the Sox still owe him over $50 million. Technically I think theres about $43 million left.

Mark!

Rios helped us out!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 29, 2011 -> 09:36 PM) Big out by Alex. Weak swing. 2-0 lead is a start. Sox ain't gonna win this game, 2-0 though. More work to do. Mark Buehrle is gonna have something to say about that.

Well at least we got 2.

That outside corner expanded by 4 inches sometime after the top of the 2 nd.

Redeem yourself!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 29, 2011 -> 09:29 PM) At this point though, one home run and two walks is unacceptable from your third baseman, end of story as far as I'm concerned. You'd rather have the guy hitting .220 with 6 hr as our version of the league average?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 29, 2011 -> 09:29 PM) I'm gonna go eat after this half inning. Not sure if I'll turn the game back on once I return. Team is starting to bore me. Same ol s*** every night. A few bombs would change my demeanor. It would be kinda nice if at least we could marvel at the performance of the other pitcher, but we haven't really seen incredible performances against us lately.

Nice work M-56.

Wasn't someone telling us Rios has only two errors to defend his defense last night? If there is no error charged there then he gave up 3 free bases with no error.

Wow horrible horrible work by Rios. That was a catchable ball.

Good opening for M-56. Stingy strike zone both ways.

Buehrle just totally worked cargo over. One of these guys looks like a veteran. The other not. Ten another while I'm typing.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 29, 2011 -> 08:46 PM) We both got clowned/owned with the suggestion he even consider running again. Jimenez used to get it up there in the upper 90's. He's 90-94 tonight. That's quite a drop-off. Any rumors? Been a lot of injury talk about him this year.
