QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 09:00 PM) Does a lineup with Rios, Pierre, Dunn, Beckham, and Morel/Vizquel scare you? No, but with those guys hitting about as bad if not worse than you could possibly think, they are still right there. Dump all the good players for mediocre minor leaguers and if you think this team is bad, you have not seen anything yet.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 08:58 PM) 3 out of what leading a s*** division and a quick 1st round exit ...........whoopie doopie so what! Danks, Buerhle and either Floyd, Peavy or Humber with a pretty good bullpen. I think the Sox have a decent chance if they make the playoffs. They are 4-1 vs. Boston.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 08:57 PM) But they suddenly have the most fragile pitching staff in the AL Central between them, Tigers and Indians. When KW made the Jackson trade, I'm convinced he wanted to throw in the towel. However, in true KW fashion, he switched courses just because a few games. Fister and Jimenez don't scare me and I'm usually pessimistic.

The Red Sox are currently taking BP at USCF and Ozzie is going to waste Thornton.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 08:54 PM) Cause this team has no chance, whoever thinks so needs to lay off the kool-aid They are 3 out with a clean up hitter hitting .160. I'll stick with reality and say they have a shot.

QUOTE (Disco72 @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 08:53 PM) Ozzie leaving him in to die; I hope they don't pull him. It makes no sense using someone else. Bruney is the sac. lamb.

So Cooper goes out to the mound and Bruney hasn't got anyone out since. Its time Don was fired. He's obviously not getting through.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 08:50 PM) Time to pack it in Kenny, get a head start on the rebuild Because they are lighing up Brian Bruney?

Don Cooper is having a bad night.

If the Sox are going to go young, Rios can only poison young players. You have to get rid of him even if it means setting the record for most money ever eaten.

Hawk said twice but I remember 3 times now a player has scored from first on a single against the Sox this season.

Unless he has some mental illness, Rios is making a mockery of being professional.

If the guy doesn't want to play, send him home.

Send De Aza out there right now, embarrass the s*** out of that bum.

At the very least it will delay Jimenez's Cleveland debut.

Beckham should have used the glove, he had plenty of time.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 06:54 PM) Throw in Billy Jo Robidoux and it's a done deal. With a name like that he should have been a star.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 06:52 PM) Storen and the twins want bernadina and Steve lombardozzi Bowden thinks its going to happen. The secondary players will be agreed upon.

QUOTE (FlySox87 @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 06:51 PM) It takes the bat right out of Paulie's hands. I'm surprised anyone pitches to PK at all. Youk with some revenge on Morel. Exactly. I have no idea how anyone pitches to Paulie at all. I'd put him on everytime first base was open, and probably put him on if a base was open with 1 or 2 out and I had a LH on the mound.

I find the sweaty Youkilis very annoying, however, if he were a White Sox, I'm sure he'd be one of my favorites.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 06:49 PM) LOL the twins asking for the world for denard span According to Bowden, he's going to Wash for Storen.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 06:47 PM) If we're still trying to win, it's so bogus we keep playing him. Same goes for Dunn playing in any of the next 3 games. I don't have a problem with them playing Dunn. I do have a problem with him hitting 4th. Its mindboggling.

QUOTE (FlySox87 @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 06:45 PM) Ya know, Dunn blows, but at least he seems like he's trying. Rios obviously isn't, and I know I'm not pointing out anything new here. But this is why I think that Rios would be a much better target for all of the abuse that Dunn gets from the USCF crowds. Maybe that's already happened and I just having been paying attention. It hadn't until now. Now I think he'll get more abuse than Dunn.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 06:45 PM) Rios needs to go up to the plate and just pretend he's Cecil Fielder and put all of his weight into the swing. This current bulls*** stance/swing gives him no power at all. He's also pulling his head. He'll either hit a grounder to SS or 3B or a little pop up to the right side.

So far, the camera crew is having a tough night.
