Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnd the hat trick.

Pitching to Konerko cost Minnesota 2 runs. Fools.

Nice job Paulie. Make them pay. I would not pitch to Konerko with Dunn on deck if any base was open, and 2 out

The White Sox have been horrid baserunning for several years.

WTF?

Morel with a walk. What's next, Pierre going deep?

Stewart has been pretty good. I wonder if they are calling for the Twins hitting coach's head on twinstalk.com right now.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 6, 2011 -> 07:01 PM) Rios threatening to get back into the starting line-up again. 2 hits now. When's the last time Alex stole a base? He's concentrating on stealing money at the moment.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Aug 6, 2011 -> 06:56 PM) rofl of course he's 2 for 2 with a double Which is great, but if Quentin would have put one on the board, its still a mistake. We will never know.

Adam Dunn has only gone 2 consecutive starts without a strikeout twice this season. He didn't fan at all yesterday so he's due for at least a hat trick tonight.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 6, 2011 -> 03:44 PM) And where are these prospects? That's right. There are none. As long as he's here, you play him. If only to build his value up for next year. Rios has no business playing tonight at the expense of CQ. And my break does not start until gametime tonight. No, but the line up you were hoping for is here, and if Quenitn is 0 for against Pavano, how is that going to build up his value? I laugh at the line up personally. Ozzie just called out the fans agsin the other day and he does Dunn/Rios 4 and 5 again. If they don't contribute, it makes him look like a bigger fool. I hope he's right and they do something tonight, but after over 110 games of watching this, I tend to doubt it.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Aug 6, 2011 -> 02:55 PM) OK then. What's worse than benching Quentin for Rios is hitting him 5th, right behind Dunn. Why yes, let's have quite possibly the two worst offensive players in baseball bat back-to-back. Edit: WAR says that Dunn and Rios are actually the two worst players in baseball. Incredible. If you think you can make a better line up than Ozzie, you are an idiot. Ozzie know more about baseball than anyone. The only one even close is Oney.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 6, 2011 -> 02:55 PM) I'm taking a two day break from all things White Sox. Now this doesn't mean I can't post in the diamond club or slam or other sub-forums. But I'm done with PH talk for now. Ozzie has sucked the White Sox life out of me. f***ing dumbass b****. I hate him so much. Oh, and to greg. If you defend this clown after this latest atrocity, then never talk to me again. At least when it comes to the White Sox. Didn't you want Quentin traded for prospects at the deadline? KW couldn't or wouldn't give you want you wanted, but Ozzie is.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 01:01 PM) +1. Ryno should be on our list for sure. I agree. He never came across to me as very intelligent, but his HOF speech about playing the right way impressed me. He was a guy who was willing to go back to the minors to earn his shot. Not many with his background would do such a thing, and his teams in the minors do win. To me he's a consideration as a manager, or at the very least a coach. What a shot it would be to the Cubbies fans to have Ryno sitting in the Sox dugout with his alternate home pinstripes on.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 07:38 AM) He is pretty much the exact same guy as Ozzie. LaRussa does have a law degree and Ozzie about a 4th grade education, and for all I know, LaRussa's daughters don't twitter away all day. That said, I was glad Hawk dumped Tony in 1986. He's a winner some say, but look at the talent he had in Oakland and he won once there. That team was loaded. The other time he won he was beyond lucky to make the playoffs, although the Sox would fare a bit better in the HBP wars. Tony has to put his stamp on each game he manages. I think that was my biggest peeve with him. I really don't think even if Ozzie leaves he would come here, at least to manage. The rumors with this team are all over the place. One thing is for certain, if LaRussa came, there would be no rebuilding. The Sox would be trying to win the division. He's too old for the other crap. I do think everyone who is pissed off now and wants the Sox to totally rebuild will be even more pissed off in 2 years if the Sox choose that route.

If they don't walk Paulie here, Gardenhire is ridiculous.

3 runs won't be enough to win this game. Blackburn really sucks. Even the Sox are going to get to him.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 5, 2011 -> 07:35 PM) DeAza with another hit. Thank goodness they waited four months to bench Rios. If you think you can make out a better line up than Dunn hitting 4th and Rios 5th against a LHP, you're an idiot. Just ask Ozzie. He makes the best line ups. He knows more than everybody.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 5, 2011 -> 07:34 PM) If you saw the 2 teams, which would you suggest had the better record? Minnesota owns the Sox, we all know that, but part of the reason is the Sox attitude towards them all throughout the organization. Spend more time working on kicking their ass than you do kissing their ass and the results may be different. Apparently the other teams in the league don't have much problem against them.

Buehrle has always had problems pitching around errors.

Listening to Hawk and Stone, it would shock you to know the Twins are 9 games under .500.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Aug 5, 2011 -> 03:16 PM) Is there any other manager in baseball who routinely calls the fans idiots? Ozzie thinks I'm an idiot because I don't think Dunn should be batting 4th. I think its fair. I think he's an idiot for continuing to put him either 3rd or 4th. When the season is over, I'll even let Greg evaluate who was more correct, making the other the bigger idiot.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 09:01 PM) Who is Hawk talking to? Hawk lives about an hour and a half or two hours away from the park. This conversion is probably one he has with him self after every home game.

Off the glove of Texiera, but Nova is right where he should be, hey Hawk you forgot to add, and AJ is jogging down the line.

They should just tell Sox fans to stick it up their ass and have Rios loaf around CF the next few years and hit 3rd and keep Dunn in the clean up hole. Maybe they can bring back Tom Seaver to pitch opening day next year.
