Just infuriating.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 02:51 PM) Rios 3-3 Too bad he can only hit in the 5 hole. (Guess not.) Can we please get Dunn out of the 3-spot when Konerko gets back?

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Aug 10, 2012 -> 10:15 PM) Personally, I love Danks' candor calling Floyd "solid." That was comical. And true.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Aug 10, 2012 -> 10:13 PM) Can't we get a decent looking girl with a brain to do the post game interviews? That was awful. Then they just cut away from the interview before it was over. Never a good sign.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 09:22 AM) A few weeks ago, Laurence told a long, emotional story on the air, with lots of poignant voice inflection. But at story's end it ended up just being an account of him going into Piece and ordering a pizza to go But you can bet that Laurence got it up on Twitter, then talked about his Twitter, then Tweeted about talking about Twitter. I love radio guys talking about Twitter. It's fascinating.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jul 14, 2012 -> 12:01 AM) what a heart breaker if we lose At this point, almost not really. It's kind of a dumb game.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 13, 2012 -> 11:59 PM) Sox need to have PK bunt guys over in late situations from now on. Not being serious, but at least it would make him somewhat productive. Maybe he's having his old bad half-season, like, right in the middle of the season. If so, he should be just fine for the last 3 weeks of September.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 13, 2012 -> 11:58 PM) I don't think he would have scored on that if it hit the wall. Or if it went over it on the fly . ..

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 13, 2012 -> 11:57 PM) bad bad break Somehow that was Hudson's fault.

QUOTE (almagest @ Jul 13, 2012 -> 11:23 PM) I know they keep harping on the play at the plate, but it was incredibly close, and in fast motion I can see why he was called out. Particularly because the umpire couldn't possibly have seen the side of the plate where Hudson's hand was. He blew it.

Now that I see the Hudson home plate replay again . . . it's pretty clear that this home plate umpire was NOT in position to make the call. He was screened by the catcher. Lazy. Incompetent. Cool.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 13, 2012 -> 11:21 PM) This umpire is horrible Methinks he's intimidated by a pretty boisterous crowd.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 13, 2012 -> 10:58 PM) That's a home run for PK in May Gotta be the wrist, right?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 13, 2012 -> 10:56 PM) Hudson can't do anything right. But at least he gets to run the bases, slowly, again.

QUOTE (southsidepride15 @ Jul 13, 2012 -> 10:31 PM) Watch the play again later....if Hudson takes ANY secondary lead at 2nd he beats the throw by 7-8 ft. Horrible baserunning. I don't care how slow he is. Septimo was a position player, b****es!

Excellent. And typical. Post All-Star break. Road game. Nightmare.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 13, 2012 -> 10:25 PM) Why not Escobar?! Where's the Bridge when you need him?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 13, 2012 -> 10:25 PM) He looked safe, this umpire sucks at his job What you said. Why bother to get in position if you're not going to use your eyes?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 28, 2012 -> 07:55 PM) Beckham with no hits in 3 games after the lineup change was very predictable, despite Youkilis being the right choice to hit 2nd. Yep - he's such a headcase, and our staff should know that. He's been feeling for the ball all week, taking that weak, sweeping swing that he takes when he sucks a lot.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 15, 2011 -> 09:13 PM) The level of obviousness to his analysis is absurd, he makes absurd points and says absurd lines at all times, and I honestly don't like the sound of his voice. He seems to interject at weird times too. (read with appropriate twang) "When a runner slides in safely, it's because the umpire has ruled him safe."

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 11, 2011 -> 01:18 PM) CSNChi_Beatnik Brett Ballantini KW deflected any question today that might be reinterpreted or spun as critical of Ozzie. The high road remains very much intact on his end Just following the Cowley approach . . .

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 6, 2011 -> 08:45 PM) Hopefully Morel can end the season with at least 30 RBI's. Wonder if there's ever been a player at that position to play mostly full-time and end up with fewer than 30 in a year? Maybe Chone Figgins, but he was predominantly a leadoff hitter. Here's my all-time favorite -- San Diego SS Enzo Hernandez, in 1971: 549 AB's, 12 RBI! http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/hernaen01.shtml

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 29, 2011 -> 09:21 PM) Yeah I was like what is he doing with the ball. He looked like he was on a different planet. That's it! PLANET RIOS!

QUOTE (Wanne @ Aug 29, 2011 -> 09:15 PM) Rios forgot how many outs there were... Yes, he did. My God.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 10:01 PM) De Aza's had some really strong at bats against tough pitchers. He's impressive. Hope he can stay healthy because he looks like a good player.
