It's scary that when Martinez came up there, I thought "wait, how did the tigers get carlos Santana"?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 3, 2011 -> 09:34 PM) Balta, you know Morel won't be playing tomorrow. I know. It's just disturbingly accurate to blame it on him getting hits, even if for once there is actually a tough righty on the mound for once. Of course, Vizquel hasn't hit well lately, but he never gets punished for performance

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 3, 2011 -> 09:24 PM) WTF Morel? Morel had to do something wrong. It's his only chance to start tomorrow.

FLIP THAT DAMN BAT!

This economy is a republicans dream. Workers rights eroding, every job low wage and no benefits, everyone in unpayable debt to banks, lowest rakes in half a century, and the highest corporate profits ever!

Brent is so getting benched for that.

That's a lot of baserunners for one run

Nicely done rook.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jun 3, 2011 -> 07:40 PM) He had minor surgery and is available tonight? I don't get that. maybe they are just going to have their next ad be pk14 standing in an emergency room showing him pinch hitting after surgery to encourage the gunshot victims.

Well mark, that's your run.

Holy hell...

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 3, 2011 -> 05:54 PM) We clearly need to start supersizing for the good of the economy. If nothing else, it'll keep the Health Care sector growing.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 3, 2011 -> 04:57 PM) Wow, seeing the Phillies on there was surprising... I was wondering how on Earth they could possibly have supported some of the contracts they've given out when they signed Lee last offseason. Now I'm wondering more.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Jun 3, 2011 -> 04:32 PM) Frank became a full-time DH in 1998 and his stats were pretty bad compared to prior years. But on the other hand Jim Thome wasn't a full-time DH until he came to the Sox in 06 and had a pretty typical year. Wasn't the Hurt, you know, hurt for a couple years prior to 2000?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 3, 2011 -> 04:31 PM) MORE STIMULUS!!!!!!!! That's exactly what we need.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 3, 2011 -> 04:11 PM) We aren't talking about some fringe guy just out of the minors here. This is one of the most prolific power hitters in the past decade. There is no such thing as "past the point of letting him play through it", unless we think he's done for, which I don't think is the case. You play him until he gets out of it. Sitting on the bench only prolongs the pain and gives him fewer good-Dunn days in the Sox lineup for the season. Not to say you don't give him a day off here and there, but this is a game after an off day. You play your starting lineup, and let guys like Dunn and Rios play through it until they get better. Dunn is far too valuable to become a platoon player, and I am damn near 100% sure he will come out of this, so I would play him full time until he does. Stop making me agree with Greg!

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 3, 2011 -> 04:09 PM) w00t! But the hacking thing is basically like saying someone deserves to be robbed for not having home security. At some point, the federal government needs to step in and send the hackers to jail. I guarantee once consequences start happening, a lot of the hacking would stop. Do you really think the government wouldn't arrest them if they could?

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 3, 2011 -> 04:04 PM) Think they might call him up after the game? He would have to rush to get back to Chitown. You are correct about Teahen and the lefty thing. I didn't even consider that. But, as we knew, it doesn't appear Viciedo is on the way up either. I don't expect it for quite awhile do you? If Viciedo stays down for most of the year, it could buy us another arbitration year for him. I think he's down there until someone gets sold off. Or until rosters expand.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 3, 2011 -> 04:01 PM) And how will looking completely lost vs a lefty help? It's gotten past the point of letting him play through the slump, plain and simple. We need to win ball games now, and until he fixes his approach and starts hitting the ball, he can't be playing everyday, and especially not vs lefties. I'm not saying outright bench, but no more blind faith that he will snap out of it eventually. ****. I have to agree with Bearsox now.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 3, 2011 -> 04:00 PM) Interesting. We don;'t need all the pitchers since they all had Thursday off, but who are we to question... We're also facing a LHP today, and Teahen was nearly Adam Dunn bad against LHP last year.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 3, 2011 -> 04:00 PM) ChuckGarfien Chuck Garfien Remember in 2009 when White Sox couldn't get any pinch hits? They're 9 for 21 (.429). #1 in majors. The Stealth Elf strikes again...
