Tonight....... Ouch

Not even on playstation

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 05:12 PM) Much younger and MUCH cheaper. That is a plus, but I was talking in a offensive comparison

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 05:13 PM) If you don't understand how useless fielding percentage is, any further argument is a lost cause. Huh? Read my post

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 05:06 PM) KW should be doing all he can to trade Jackson and Floyd to get us some bats. And figure creative ways to dump Rios/Dunn. This Viciedo thing is all about saving pennies. When's he eligible to join the team and be under team control one more year? Is the date mercifully approaching?? Dumping those 2 is gonna be tough, the team is gonna be bad for a while, I would start over instead of spending so much on free agents o would rebuild the developing part of the org, the problem is if the sox draft high they try to take the cheapest player to sign and that's a fact

Look dude, fine I just don't think he's sure handed(yeah here comes the stats). I don't have a man love with lexi that's all. Being a Latin player I know how some Latin players are raw and aren't the smartest in the field(baseball sense), that's.what I get from Lexi. Hey if you all think different I respect that but I don't always look at stats to see things, they can be deceiving, but hey to each it's own

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 04:58 PM) Nobody said that Extreme Reaction Eddie. But you need to have something of more substance to your argument than "Use his melon" or "make routine plays." He was the best defensive SS in the AL last season, apparently he made those plays. Fielding pct, doesn't say the whole story

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 04:53 PM) http://content.usatoday.com/communities/fa...-bible-awards/1 He should have been the GG award winner last year beating out Derek Jeter for the AL based on his defense. http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/11/...slugger-awards/ Alexei was the silver slugger award winner for the AL at the SS position. Once again, what else do you want from the guy? Forget it, I understand myself. Fine Lexi is the god of all Shortstops he can do no wrong, I'm not worthy......

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 04:46 PM) Alexei should have won the GG last year statistically speaking, he also ranks in the top echelon offensively of all SS. What else do you want from him? Use his melon, and really show off that talent he has, cause he has talent that I won't argue but .....

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 04:44 PM) That's the thing that pisses me off. Calling up Viciedo isn't giving up, it's making this team better. Going with this same 25 man roster could be considered just riding out the stretch. True, but I would have gone with the kids can play part 7 by now

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 04:42 PM) Because I don't think he's maximizing his God-given ability. It's a waste, a shame, however you want to describe it. Dunn's just lost mentally. That's not about lack of effort...that's simply trying too hard and thinking too much. It just usually doesn't last for this long. If you want to compare, except for the first 2-3 months of 2010, Rios has been lost for almost 3 years at the plate. And his defense has deteriorated markedly this year. It's clear to everyone who follows the team closely. I agree with you 100%, it's my same beef with lexi

I would have given up already, called up Viciedo, danks and who ever else, let them play at least make losing interesting

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 04:39 PM) Where have you been? Other than Paulie, who's been getting a pass? Lexi... And I've been here. I don't go bonkers on every bad play like a lot here

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 04:35 PM) How many games has Rios had ANYTHING more than a negligible impact offensively on from July, 2010 until this current moment??? He's cost us at least a couple of games this season off the top of my head, but he clearly was the best SS in the AL defensively last year when he played next to Omar Vizquel after Teahen went down. Alexei is making $1.9 million this season, Rios $12 million. Dude, I swear you mention rios in everything, yes he's bad actually horrible, but I think it's hypocritical that we beat up on rios and pierre and give a pass to others

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 04:34 PM) at least he avoided the sombrero today I guess that's a start.....

Man Dunn is brutal....

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 04:33 PM) **patiently waiting for the defensive sabermetric experts to chime in*** Heh

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 04:27 PM) How many shortstops that are close to the top defensively are also averaging 15 homers and 60+ RBI's per season? This is not 2008. Offense has fallen off by 20-25% since then. That's the equivalent of 20 and 75, normally Juan Uribe's numbers. Again mr. Gammons what is defense? Fancy plays in the hole? How many games/runs had he cost us with bonehead plays? A lot more than he's saved

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 04:26 PM) There's only 5 SS in MLB with more homers and only 4 with more RBIs. But those ain't good numbers by any means. Don't get me wrong I think had talent and tools, but he has a peanut for a brain. That's why i don' see the lovefest with lexi. He sould have even better numbers no matter what

QUOTE (Real @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 04:21 PM) I dont normally pile on like most of the posters around here, but when your whipping boy has put up the numbers Alexei has this year, who's next? Konerko? lol Huh? 8 homers and 30 something RBI's are good numbers? Whoa you're standards are kinda low

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 04:19 PM) You're comparing one of the best players in baseball at his position to one of the worst players in the entire Major Leagues? Why is Lexi the best? Cause he makes fancy plays? What's the fascination? Really, make the smart plays, the Rutine plays and then I'll call him the best, that's why Vizquel was the best back in the day

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 04:17 PM) Maybe the weirdest post of the season here LOL, dude couldn't think of any thing else, ohh and it's supposed to say back not bad, fricken word corrector

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 04:16 PM) Right, because of all our problems this year he's been one of the biggest... No, but he's my whipping boy just like rios is many people here

I hate lexi, I wish they would send him bad to castro

QUOTE (Real @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 04:09 PM) We have too many guys in our lineup that think "HR" and not "Hit". Beckham, Konerko despite his good avg, Dunn, Ramirez, Rios, Quentin, even f***ing AJ had his lift and pull streaks We need some regular f***ing LD hitters, this bases loaded 0/1 run bulls*** is getting old That is soooo true, good post
