Wait. Are you telling me that the book on Dye is to go with slow stuff?

First hitter: Fuentes gets behind, into a hitter's count. So the next 2 guys swing at the first pitch. Worst offensive team in baseball -- and paid rather well.

QUOTE (G&T @ Jun 14, 2008 -> 07:55 PM) AJ on. C'mon Q. Give 'em a thrill. I like his approach right now. Solid stuff.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 14, 2008 -> 07:53 PM) AJP is having a horrible game offensively and defensively. Not totally sure whey no Toby Hall today, with the lefty. Maybe because Anderson and Uribe were in? I'm not sure.

Little League team.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 14, 2008 -> 07:46 PM) He is a sucking player and no amount of dinners or drinks to you is going to change that. He isnt the reason they are losing tonight, but I would rather play the guy who is hitting .287. When was the last time that uribe had that BA, 2004. "D.J. Juan carried us that year for a long time. Mercy."

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 14, 2008 -> 07:45 PM) Its in response to all the b****ing about Uribe playing 2 games in a row. He actually did have a big hit last night, but according to some, he's the reason the Sox haven't scored tonight. Well, he's 1 of 9 reasons, I guess.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Jun 14, 2008 -> 07:43 PM) Again, pathetic, to the highest degree Imagine where he would've hit it if he hadn't been trying to shoot it to right field.

QUOTE (BFirebird @ Jun 14, 2008 -> 07:36 PM) I just got home...what record would he be going for? 31 stolen bases in one game.

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Jun 14, 2008 -> 07:33 PM) Boone shaved his powerful beard. That's why he gave up that hit. I believe that a lot.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 14, 2008 -> 07:19 PM) I wonder if opposing pitchers openly laugh when they chart our team. I'd imagine there's only one dot on that chart: low and away, for 25 guys.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 14, 2008 -> 07:18 PM) I think they have been pretty straight forward tonight. Keep reminded us what De La Rosa's stats were. Yes, but always in the context of "Boy, he sure does have great stuff tonight, doesn't he?"

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 14, 2008 -> 07:16 PM) Wait till the post game when Konerko and Dye talk about how great De La Rosa was and how unhittable he was. I have a pile of Sox caps in my house. They're all tipped.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 14, 2008 -> 07:15 PM) They seriously are waiting for the middle thigh fastball center cut to drive, any other pitch is confusing to them. They keep holding out for the fastball they never get. It's great to hear Hawk and D.J. with their bag of excuses. It sure is amazing how many great pitchers this team faces, isn't it? Just unfair, really.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 14, 2008 -> 07:07 PM) Guess I'm alone in thinking it's an error. No, I also thought it was an error. I like it when players catch balls hit at them.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Jun 12, 2008 -> 01:51 PM) Wow, this is getting worse Sometimes I just hate watching this team play. Dagumit.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jun 12, 2008 -> 01:40 PM) that was a craptastic inning And right about this time, it would be nice to have 1 or 2 players who are adept at manufacturing runs. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to go back to warm weather at U.S. Cellular.

Thought we had a good approach at the beginning of this game -- looking to go opposite field. Somewhere about the 3rd inning, that stopped. Now it's shades of Tampa Bay.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 10:25 PM) Nice scoop by PK...Logan has that first pitch bunt defense down. Methinks that the book on Boone is to bunt on him -- must be in the scouting report from that game in Tampa Bay two years ago.

QUOTE (soxfan3530 @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 10:18 PM) wow dumb play by BA. with our offense though cant say that i blame him. I've got no problem with it -- with one out, go for it. It's not like he was out by 10 feet.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 06:40 PM) Hawk is a few hitters away from starting Cy Hochevar talk. Cap. Tip. Repeat.

QUOTE (Wanne @ May 31, 2008 -> 07:59 PM) The DBacks fired hitting coach Kevin Seitzer...and went on to win their division. Just sayin....... Hey! Have a changeup? Well, step right up and pitch against our ballclub!

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ May 28, 2008 -> 01:18 PM) CQ = God Shout out to AJ, who retooled his approach this year. He's been hitting the ball where it's pitched all year, just like he used to with the Twins. I love that.

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ May 28, 2008 -> 01:16 PM) Sac bunts do not help you in the FA market or arbitration hearings I guess. Maybe he could call up to the press box and get it ruled a home run.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 28, 2008 -> 01:13 PM) Nice bunt, ass clown. Well said. I can't imagine how bad Cabrera would be at bunting if he weren't such a great handler of the bat.
