Calling Viciedo HR here.

The freaking bunt..

Good eye Alex.

Can we win this one please? I guess the Hawks are playing so attendance figures are accounted for.

It's crazy how I allow spring training numbers to fool me year by year.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 17, 2012 -> 07:29 PM) 773, .688, and .778 ops in his first 3 seasons. I guess we can call it the sophomore slump.

Weiters is pretty good, didn't he too struggle right after coming up for a year or two?

CF Adam Dunn will lead it off for Johnny Danks.. OK Hawkaroo.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 17, 2012 -> 07:21 PM) Had 2 games last April with attendance of 18k and 16k, and 16k was the reported for last night I believe. 13.5K

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 17, 2012 -> 07:18 PM) Everyone knew coming into this year attendance was going to be way down. Absolutely agree but I didn't think it would be that bad. Just sad to see.

Crowd is abysmal

Do we really need two Gordon Beckham threads, one Beckham/Rios/Dunn/Morel thread and Offensive Shotcomings (Rios/Dunn/Beckham/Morel) thread? Come on!

Good ol' SoxTalk, meltdown mode after 1 loss in April Wouldn't trade it for anything else, carry on.

Let's see how this series play out, Ventura has a job to be done tonight/tomorrow.

QUOTE (RME JICO @ Apr 16, 2012 -> 10:25 PM) Going back to the first game of 2011, Dunn now qualifies for the batting title with a .164 Batting Average and over 502 PA's. Congrats big man! He also crushed his next closest competitor by .046 pts. I find it amazing that he has not been intentionally walked since joining the Sox. http://www.baseballmusings.com/cgi-bin/Com...P=0&MinCI=0 Adam Dunn since game 2: 5 for 30, .167, 14 K's, 1 Walk.

Who do you call up to take Beckhams spot?

: Adam Dunn since game 2: 5 for 30, .167, 14 K's, 1 Walk.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 16, 2012 -> 10:44 PM) Pathetic. It didn't take long for the Sox bullpen to come down to earth. It didn't take long for DeAza to inexplicably pull a Pierre and drop balls 2 straight nights. It didn't take long for fans to expect Dunn to whiff every time up. It didn't take long to lose faith again in Beckham and Morel. Losing sucks. Had we won 4-2 none of these thoughts would have entered my mind. Come on greg, this team was suppose to lose 90 games, have no expectations and 'appreciate the game'. Let's just get em tomorrow.

Hey don't worry everyone Hawk just said this is the one of the 42 you're gonna lose

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 16, 2012 -> 10:36 PM) Since the similarities are glaring, I have to mention it. DeAza drops the fly ball to cost Stewart in a tie game. Just as Pierre dropped the fly ball(s) to cost Thornton. My Q is: Does this mean our fanbase turns on DeAza as it did on Juan? Is it over for DeAza in terms of fan acceptance? That's two exact same errors in two games, he will do fine offensively but that was awful.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 16, 2012 -> 10:33 PM) Stewart plane to AAA better be in next 2 hours for the love of all. How so, runs were unearned /green.

I guess we were due for a stinker, here it is, now let's take the remainder of the series.

This is comedy gold right now.
