QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 01:58 PM) That's 8 HRs in 12 games for Pena. Maybe the Sox signed the wrong low-average, high-power hitter? And of course this guy was much cheaper too. *sigh*

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 02:26 PM) No one was comparing the two. Alfonso Soriano 2 weeks ago said that Chicago Fans are the worst, hardest fans in baseball on guys who struggle. I pointed that out in reply to a post that said there were worse fans in several cities. My bad. I misread the meaning behind that post.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 02:21 PM) Other than on-base %, it still puts Dunn's 2011 to shame Indeed. The magnitude of Dunn's drop off cannot be understated.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 01:46 PM) Yes, I know this is a scary example, but Steve Sax suddenly forgot how to hit. Guys finally just lose it. Wow that first post was pretty nasty Jordan. Swing the bat and hit the ball fatty made me laugh for some reason. Dunn is a bum but for some reason I feel more sorry for him currently than anger at him. Watching him bat does sicken me, though. "greg775 Hates Fat People"

Just curious...has Reinsdorf been interviewed on any of the local radio shows in the last couple of weeks? I'd love to hear his thoughts on this disastrous season.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 01:36 PM) I'm on the not booing side of the fence. I understand the booing but I don't like it. I just don't boo our guys. Two exceptions going back a few years, Jamie Navarro and Terry Bevington. Of the long course of my being a White Sox fan there have been plenty of under-achievers and sadly some guys who were just plain bad but I never booed any of them. I hated Albert Belle and didn't boo him when he was on the Sox. I'm not gonna cheer wildly for Dunn until he starts to hit but I won't boo him either. With each strikeout I'll just quietly shake my head in disappointment and hope that he doesn't strikeout the next time he comes up. And, like J4L, I have no problem with that.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 01:30 PM) Soriano thinks you're wrong. Comparing Dunn's .624 OPS to anything Soriano's ever done is an injustice to Soriano.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 01:29 PM) It's not specific to our fanbase either. EVERY fanbase in the sport would be riding him, and I'm willing to bet that quite a few would be worse. And I mean much worse. Exactly. He's had an epic bust of a performance in 3 months of baseball here. Probably the worst I've seen in my lifetime for a huge free agent signing and people are actually surprised he's getting booed?

QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 01:07 PM) Actually, it's too bad for us. He's getting his money either way, you're the one getting screwed out of the price of admission the longer this slump continues. Please explain to me how the crowd is the root cause of his hitting failures.

QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 12:34 PM) People pay to get a seat at the Cell, they're welcome to cheer or boo the players as much as they want. My point was simply that hearing a chorus of boos from a justifiably impatient crowd doesn't make a difficult adjustment any easier for Dunn. That's part of the game and something that Dunn needs to learn to deal with as a player, but it may be compounding things for him. Well too bad for him. He needs to suck it up. It's not like he's a rookie and with the price to take a family of four to a game going up each year, I especially have no qualms about booing someone getting paid $15M/year who's deserving to make the league minimum.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 11:55 AM) Not that you're insinuating this, but why do SOME feel it would behoove us to stop booing and that would make him hit better? Farmer has already hinted at this. "The booing doesn't help." Cheering him as he whiffs three consecutive times against Livan Hernadez and his 72 MPH FB would help? The guy is paid mega bucks to produce. That's what this sport of baseball is. He has been terrible at every aspect of this sport. And the thing is, he only gets paid to do one thing: Hit fricking HRs. It's not April 19th. It's not May 8th. It's not May 29th. It's not June 25th. July 1 is right around the corner. How many more 0/4, 3 K games must occur before this guy can be classified as a bust, for this year, anyway. I have no problem with those that choose to keep the faith. No problem. Just no more shots taken at the fanbase because he's getting booed. He deserves every bit of it. Excellent post.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 11:38 AM) Last season was awful outside the last 3 episodes. It's 22 minutes a week so it's not like I waste time watching it, although I don't enjoy it as much as first 3 seasons. I thought it was 30 minutes since there's no commercial breaks.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 11:41 AM) I would like to see a sweep like we did there in 2005. And I saw that series LOL. That reminds me that my 1st post ever on this site was during that series. Of course I was being an over-the-top douche, stating that Pablo Ozuna should just walk off the field and retire for making so many mistakes in one of those games. EDIT: Here it is... link EDIT part deux: And it was a reply to milkman. LOL

I somehow got through Transformers 1 although I was barely awake while watching and I never saw #2. So how is Megatron handled in the films? Does he turn into a handgun like in the original cartoon?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 11:10 AM) Weeds wasnt bad, but its still hokey how everything comes together sometimes. I'm debating whether I even want to bother with this show anymore. Last year was a chore to get through.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 11:02 AM) He's going to eventually snap out of it and then the other side of the conversation will gloat. Hopefully "eventually" doesn't mean May of 2012.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 10:29 AM) Saw this on Twitter: So if you have any young kids who want to learn to suck at bunting, get caught stealing and throwing 20 times during a run down, send 'em to OG's camp.

Happy birthday!!!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 09:02 AM) What is this even supposed to mean? It's not a bad thing that 60% of the U.S. allows legalized discrimination against Homosexuals because 100% of other groups of countries do? Indeed. We can always just say "At least we're not Nigeria!"

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 09:13 AM) Ozzie Guillen. Hopefully JR sells his shares soon. What the heck is the point of having a neutered GM?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 09:11 AM) This whole cat and mouse game is ridiculous. KW says that he will call Dayan up when Ozzie tells him to. Ozzie says that as long JP is on my roster, I have to play him. Who the f*** is running the show?!?

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 09:07 AM) I don't even know what that means. My manager is not ready for? That is so nebulous. Just keep throwing Ozzie under the bus KW. Yeah this whole organization needs to clean house at the management level. Total ineptitude.
