Dick Allen

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Apr 17, 2012 -> 02:56 PM) he is striking out at a worse rate than last year. i dont think he will ever be productive again I still think he'll be better than last year, but apparently not much. The Sox might as well have me hit 3rd against LHP. Dunn has zero chance against them. Its really hard to believe he's this bad, but he must be. He's back to last year. I wonder how long they stick with it. The boo birds are about to become brutal.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 17, 2012 -> 08:58 PM) I can't believe he didn't stop at least to see if AJP could score. He's not exactly Einstein when it comes to baseball. His head has been up his ass since the all star break in 2010. I really wonder why he can't concentrate for an employer that pays him so well.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 17, 2012 -> 08:57 PM) I think the last time I saw that work was Black Jack. He did it multiple times. Other than that, it doesn't work in little league.

Alex Rios is a talented but horrible baseball player.

QUOTE (mcgrad70 @ Apr 16, 2012 -> 11:17 PM) Wow I knew this team was not very good but c'mon... Most of Reinsdorf's teasers usually make to the first week of Bears training camp - not this one. You won't know this team by then. The only thing that will cut short this upcoming decade of mediocrity to come is the Mayans. If it really bothers you as much as it seems, you really should spend the couple of hours a day you spend watching the White Sox, doing something else. You'll be much happier.

QUOTE (Lillian @ Apr 16, 2012 -> 11:12 PM) We are surely going to hear strong pleas to be patient and not to panic. However, given last year's disaster with Rios, Dunn, Beckham and Morel, you have to wonder how long this team can keep running those guys out there. What possible excuse and justification could they offer for not making some changes. The fact is, they blew a 3 run 8th inning lead or they would be 6-3 and everyone here would be a lot happier. Santiago as the closer is going to be a rollercoaster ride. He's going to look awesome at times and will throw meat like he did tonight several times as well. Robin has been trying to get him some lay up saves to build confidence, but I think he's now given up 3 homers. You don't get away with throw the ball right down the middle in the major leagues.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 16, 2012 -> 11:02 PM) First things first. Beckham should be sent down and let Lilly play second for a month. And Zach must be sent down. No time to panic on DeAza or Morel yet. I would drop Dunn to seventh and leave him there the rest of the year as well. The man is finished. One homer, three ribbies? That's about right. Lillibridge can't hit RHP. For some reason, I still think Beckham is going to hit. Stewart was awful, but he's hardly pitched. I wouldn't panic on De Aza, and its still too early to panic about Morel, but it does make you wonder. You throw out September, and Morel's numbers scream defensive replacement, and one thing I agree with Ozzie about, unless you're in a pennant race, 2 things not to believe are spring training and September phenoms. I agree about Dunn. He shouldn't hit third. I think he's better than last year, but he can be a lot better than last year and still be bad. Move him down. If he starts hitting like a 3 or 4 hitter, move him up. I know there really isn't much to move to the 3 hole, but Dunn shouldn't be there. He's been historically bad for over a year now.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 16, 2012 -> 10:52 PM) Couch made a mistake. Fred Brzozowski is deceased. The article is about 7 or 8 years old.

What a difference a day makes. What a difference 2 innings make.

Fire Jeff Manto. Lift and pull.

Its too early to panic. People are used to bad offense so its reasonable to think it will continue. Last seaon the Sox scored 56 runs through 8 games and have the exact same record. We know how the rest of the season went. Just think what the different threads would be like if they had 56 so far this year.

How come the new hitting coach isn't getting any grief? In previous years, it was all the old hitting coach's fault.

Brandon Inge sucks so bad.

The red uniforms look awesome. They are just missing the white button on top the cap. The zipper would be nice, but that's OK without. Dunn shouldn't be hitting 3rd.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 13, 2012 -> 02:54 PM) 3rd base coach gambles paying off so far 3-0 SOX. He's had a couple of it if works out he's a genius if it doesn't he's a fool moments already this year and its worked out.

The much hated AJ playing well early.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 13, 2012 -> 02:53 PM) PK dunks in an RBI single, 2-0 SOX! Where will they put his statue?

Not the start at home Dunn was looking for.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 13, 2012 -> 02:30 PM) Well, who would have thought Jake Peavy would have a 2.45 ERA after 11 innings pitched against TEX and DET to start the season? Unfortunately, our offense sucks. Fire Greg Walker

After seeing video of the batters box controversy, I don't know what's harder to believe. A major league grounds crew doing such a hatchet job, or the first two hitters not noticing.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 12, 2012 -> 08:18 AM) There is no way Kenny did it on purpose, but at the same time, I would bet the Stanford boy got a smirk out of the deal. He's pretty much a non prospect organization filler. I think it is a dig and its a lot funnier than anything out of Ozzie's mouth in a while.

Speaking of the Marlins, Logan Morrison makes Dayan Viciedo look at worst average as a LF. He's not too handy with the leather.

QUOTE (buckweaver @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 04:39 PM) Castro acquired by White Sox Kenny is arrogant...but you have to love his celebration of Castro Day with this acquisition. It has to be. It can't be just a coincidence on the very same day.......I'm not a KW man but I think its brilliant.

Sweep. 3-2

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 02:05 PM) We don't have a scheduled offday forever. Saving Matty for a day makes some sense. Isn't tomorrow on off day ?
