QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 08:26 AM) 6.0 IP / 3 HITS / 1 RUN / 4 K / 1 BB Only 4 Ks? So I assume you are saying Dunn won't be in the lineup.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 7, 2011 -> 05:43 PM) And they got back at the time arguably the best two-way 1B in the game, who was all of 27. The trade was a slam dunk at the time. The fact that they couldn't extend him was what made it a loss overall. But like Ace said, when you're pumpin' out legitimate talent from your system at the rate the Braves do, you can afford to part with a light-hitting (though tremendously gifted defensively) SS and a closer. And Freddi Freeman continues to spray the ball all over the place. Another 3 hits including a 3-run homer. Do the Braves have the top three rookies in the NL at the moment? I think you missed my point. I was giving them props that their system was so good, they could trade away those two guys if they had to and not even flinch. Sometimes you have to give talent to get talent, it can't always be one-sided.

QUOTE (spiderman @ Jul 7, 2011 -> 05:06 PM) Konerko obviously deserved it, but sort of funny that the White Sox anemic offense somehow lands 2 all-stars. Or maybe it just shows how truly bad the other hitters in the lineup have been

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 7, 2011 -> 04:36 PM) When your team is struggling to score runs, I don't like the logic of putting someone onto the field who is your worst defensive OFer in Teahen. Sure, Kubel/Span/Morneau/Young are all out of the line-up, diminishing the probability of a majority of the balls being hit to RF, but there just seems to be a law of probability in this series that whatever can go wrong, will go wrong. I know that Quentin's been struggling, 0 for 17 against Pavano, etc., but you should go down with your best players on the field. Teahen just hasn't had enough regular playing time to come in against a pitcher like Pavano...we'll see. Because Quentin is the best defensive OFer??? I'm sure he's better than Teahen but is it really that big of a difference?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 7, 2011 -> 03:19 PM) I mean really...17 ABs is like 3 games. You are gonna trust 57 ABs instead of 1626 ABs and never let Dunn face a lefty again? Carlos hasn't hit a homer in a month either, it's not like he's on fire.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 7, 2011 -> 03:14 PM) Yeah so? Dunn was 0-infinity against left-handers but Ozzie kept trotting him out there. Yes, but Dunn still has a career .228 average & .797 OPS vs. LHP. Quentin has never in his entire career even reached base vs. Pavano.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jul 7, 2011 -> 03:12 PM) He is 0-17 against Big Carl. Wow. Look at Ozzie paying attention to statistics!

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 7, 2011 -> 11:57 AM) This is yet further proof that selecting Qatar to host the World Cup was such a joke. They'd better not do this, it would completely bastardize the game. Qatar World Cup may feature three 30-minute periods That is be the stupidest f***ing thing I ever heard of. IMO, if they did that, they would need to change the rules for all WC qualifying matches as well. You can't have teams qualify playing two 45-min periods to play in a tournament with three 30-min periods.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Jul 7, 2011 -> 01:00 PM) For 13 games at the end of April, he went 7 for 51. Outside of that 13 game stretch, he has batted close to .290, including a stretch of 34 games where he had at least one hit in 27 of them. During the same 13 games, Dunn was 6 for 50 with zero home runs. That was the first example I thought to look at. I can find others if you want. So no, he was not the worst everyday player in baseball, even for that 13 game stretch. Dunn was only a DH. Pierre played the field and made several awful errors that cost his team games. That made him the worst player.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 7, 2011 -> 11:33 AM) In other news, Adam Dunn is sporting a solid OBP when you don't count his 100+ strikeouts. It's not the strikeouts that are the big problem, he had 199 last year while hitting .260. It's the fact that when he does hit the ball it goes straight up in the air, instead of out towards the fences.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jul 7, 2011 -> 11:14 AM) Win or lose, F*** the Twins!

If the season doesn't start, D-Will has signed a contract to play in Turkey

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jul 7, 2011 -> 09:07 AM) One start, came back from an injury. Sample size bias, jesus. What a f***ing terrible article. It's Bleacher Report, what did you expect?

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 7, 2011 -> 06:49 AM) Adam will be the only reason CT doesn't win or make it to finals. Big Brother 13, b****es! Adam has been hanging on strong so far, hope he can keep it up. The way everyone keeps worrying about CT, I want him to barrel roll the whole competition. I always knew Wes was kind of a b****, but he really showed it in that last episode. "I just want him to stop, and leave me alone" Then stop talking s*** and throwing his mattress around, you steroid filled b****.

QUOTE (Real @ Jul 7, 2011 -> 02:36 AM) So the trash that beat us on tuesday was 0-6, and Bruce Chen before yesterday hadn't won in two months in 3 starts after he spent 1.5 months on the DL

Soria has already blown one 3-run lead vs. the Sox this year, time to do it again!!!

Hector Santiago!!! The future is now!!!

#110 for Dunn

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 03:31 PM) Again mr. Gammons what is defense? Fancy plays in the hole? How many games/runs had he cost us with bonehead plays? A lot more than he's saved **patiently waiting for the defensive sabermetric experts to chime in***

At least the Twins just got blown out in the last two innings, maybe that can slow down any momentum they had

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 03:25 PM) Huh? 8 homers and 30 something RBI's are good numbers? Whoa you're standards are kinda low There's only 5 SS in MLB with more homers and only 4 with more RBIs.
