Winston-Salem Dash The Dash have announced a trio of roster moves. RHP Andre Rienzo has been placed on the disabled list (sore right elbow), and RHP Brandon Kloess was promoted to AA Birmingham. In a corresponding roster move, the Dash received RHP Chris Bassitt from Advanced Rookie Bristol.

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 07:36 AM) Another s***ty jobs report. But what did Plouffe say, It will not matter. The interesting part was that the private sector number wasn't that bad.

QUOTE (LVSoxFan @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 02:41 PM) I sensed this a while ago but I'm thoroughly convinced that Ozzie is worn out. With the Sox at least. He looks spent, at a loss, distracted. And who can blame him? Any time this team gets something going, they take three steps backward, so there's no time to enjoy any success. You know, like: last year. And the year before. And you have to wonder how fun a position it is to be in to have to try and motivate veteran players with whopping salaries (Rios) to run the f***ing bases, when you're already busy trying to figure out if youngsters like Beckham are ever going to pan out, or end up being Brian Anderson Redux. The only people who seem to be getting it done on a regular basis is the pitching staff, which unfortunately means jack when your big-swinging offense is scoring two runs per game. If I had to bet Ozzie won't even have to be fired, he'll take the Marlins gig, return home to Florida and hey: at least with that team there's no expectations, which may be just the change of scenery he needs. KW will give Ozzie his usual insincere sincere sendoff and make some speech about how we love ya for '05 Ozzie but it's time for a change, blah, blah. Then why was he angling for a contract extension a couple of weeks ago?

Next time we are in Texas... Summary Executions

Buster_ESPN Buster Olney Multiple evaluators saying this: Market for relievers is going to be saturated by the deadline. Few good starters available; many relievers.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 01:46 PM) seems like that's 3 serviceable relievers we've lost this season. But I'm sure some will say I'm over-estimating their worth. If we had picked up Jeff Marquez, Jeff Gray, and Lucas Harrell as new players this year, we'd never hear the end of it.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 01:51 PM) You dont HAVE to wait, but its much more polite to others around you if you wait until the action stops. Thats how its always been in sports as a spectator, and I wish people would continue to pass that down. And you should have to wait until a break in the action to return to your seat.

CST_soxvan Daryl Van Schouwen Lucas Harrell was claimed off waivers by Houston.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 01:25 PM) Usually the writers get them up on facebook and/or twitter first. Oops I quoted the wrong guy... Sorry!

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 01:22 PM) I can hardly contain my excitement. Usually the writers get them up on facebook and/or twitter first.

It is on his facebook page.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 12:46 PM) I wouldn't say we've been killing them. *awaits stat nerds to prove me wrong* Scratch that, it was Boston I was thinking of. 13-5 versus them in the last three years.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 12:43 PM) But the Yankees are way more talented. It's more surprising that we can't even beat them (The Twins) when 80% of their team is injured. And yet we have been killing the Yankees over the same time period IIRC.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 12:35 PM) To a man it seems that way. Except for Carl, he didn't let that s*** happen. And Frank. I'm pretty sure the twins have a worse collective record against the Yankees during the same time period.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 11:44 AM) walking down the aisles or making you stand up during an at-bat. You should wait for a break in the game to move from or to your seat. I love hockey rules for fans. I wish they even had the curtian to close so that people couldn't walk down the aisles during play.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 11:42 AM) Obviously I have a scarlet and gray boner for Santonio, but he's also a great receiver and runs really good routes with speed. He would be a good guy in our offense. You might want to see a doctor about that...

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 11:26 AM) SouthSider2k5 beat me to it... Well the other way sure as f*** wasn't working.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 11:25 AM) NO!!!!! Not you!!! We need some semblance of sanity in these dark times. You have converted me. I shall post only about firings and sucking.

f*** the Sox.

QUOTE (The Baconator @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 11:18 AM) Manny Ramirez for the Dodgers and Rays comes to mind. I am talking more like Kevin Brown and Barry Zito.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 11:06 AM) Way, way too early to proclaim Dunn to be worst FA signing ever. There are plenty of way worse signings, no matter what Dunn does.

Ha-ha.
