QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 10:09 PM) They still have Dotel and Benoit. However, I think Leyland eventually will go with Villarreal. He's got almost Zumaya-like stuff. Didn't Dotel go on the DL recently?

A lot of posters were making excuses for the ODog when he was stinking up the joint but the Sox were winning. Jake just isn't wavering.

When they were scoring 9 runs every game, you knew the offense wasn't that good. They are also better than 5 runs in 3 games with optimal hitting conditions. Its a bad streak. Hopefully it ends soon.

The Padres are paying Hudson NOT to play for them. To expect him to be anything but below average is a giant reach.

Time to do the humane thing and put the ODog out of his (and our)misery.

Can't PR for AJP. No more catchers.

Marmol a product of the El Duque school of pitching. 3 and 2 on everyone.

Alexei used to always do something big in these situations.

If Marmol is throwing strikes, he's basically unhittable.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 09:40 PM) Peavy has just really been the f***in man this year. He just needs to shut up and pitch.

Peavy was awesome tonight. Don't hang him with an L offense.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 09:37 PM) This is a lot of pitches now... He had an extra day of rest. He may need another one before his next start.

Peavy was just pissed. For a second, I thought he was hurt on that last pitch.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 09:29 PM) No team in MLB can lose this much at home and contend a entire season the bubble is going to burst at some point! They have to start playing better at home. Its hard to believe they have been so bad at USCF.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 09:28 PM) What a bulls*** call. That ump is a cubs fan. He looks like he wants to get a deep dish before they close.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 09:25 PM) PK still isn't quite right, amazing that he's kept his average and everything afloat Hawk intimated both wrists are a problem.

The problem here is the lower part of the line up is set up to bat in the 9th.

A wild pitch would be nice.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 09:20 PM) The difference is PK gets paid about $12,000,000.00 more than me to know those rules. It's not quite like knowing all the rules of golf, btw. Like was stated before by another poster, its extremely likely Paulie is aware of the rules.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 09:16 PM) Again, your logic is impeccable. PK's knowledge of the rules should only equal mine. I'm sure PK is very aware of all the rules governing my profession as well. You've already stated you know the rules and PK apparently does not. You were the one pointing out the "correct" rules saying it would be nice if Paulie was aware of them.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 09:14 PM) Your logic is impeccable! I'm just saying if you're going to criticize Orlando, you need to criticize PK too. Would have loved to see how you handled it at 1B. I'm sure you would have just stepped on the bag.

He probably was safe back into first, but it was real close, and breaking the wrong way made it look worse.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 09:10 PM) Yes, criticize PK = saying he sucks He doesn't know the rules, he hits little dinkers into RF, blah, blah, blah..........You obviously think anyone who thinks Konerko is at least an average MLB player is overrrating him.

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 09:09 PM) The kid's raw, but he shows a lot of promise. A few more years of seasoning, he'll turn into a ballplayer. See Vizquel, Omar.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 09:08 PM) Gotta wonder what he was thinking then... Konerko sucks.
