They traded a locker room favorite (Versteeg) to get him, and he's relatively young. He's fast as hell, but he just can't score like he should be able to with his speed and talent. Still, he's overpaid. He makes for nice trade bait if he's playing halfway decent because of his potential and youth.

Jeter has more hits now than Rose did at this age. Jeter has a shot.

DUNN TALKED 2 RIOS AND THEY SAID THEY R GONA HIT IN THE 2ND HALF!!!!!!!!! Y SHULD I WORRY?!!?!?!

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:45 PM) Didn't the 2005 Astros fire their manager mid-season? I believe it was because they were like 20 games under.

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER Now fire Ozzie, please.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:45 PM) this game was managed so terribly, that it seemed like ozzie quit That's because he probably has quit.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:44 PM) Looking at the stats, the Twins pen sure looks awful. They are, except against the lineup the Sox have.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:43 PM) Even a flee on a monkey's ass would have bunted him over. I have no idea what this means or what you're trying to get at, but I'll assume that you're assuming the bunt would've been a successful one.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:38 PM) Teahen and his sweet latin beats needs to deliver.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:37 PM) Teahen is on deck Apologies.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:36 PM) Wait, why the f*** isn't he bunting? Because bunting with Brent Morel on deck will prove to be pointless by inning's end.

Mitch Williams seems awfully confused as to why Ozzie isn't PR'ing anyone for AJ. He is a dope.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:31 PM) Mr. Flowers is packing his bags now I guess. I'm still worried about why Viciedo isn't playing in game 1 today..

Rios never moves his legs at the plate. He never comes up before the pitch, or he never goes down. He doesn't step when the pitch is coming either. If his knees are shot by the end of next year, I wouldn't be shocked one bit.

per Scott Merkin's twitter.

Broken hand.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:27 PM) With BJ Upton going nuts the last few weeks, Alex Rios, IMO, is officially the biggest waste of talent in all of baseball. Are we even sure, to this point, that Rios has talent?

Rios just has no power in his swing anymore. Terrible.

The Sox offense went all Minnesota Twins on the Twins this inning. HBP, sac bunt, IBB, fly out, single.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:21 PM) Something tells me Ozzie is trying to show JR how much KW f***ed up signing Dunn and playing this silly game. Unfortunately the White Sox record could be the victim. Exactly. It has something to do with Ozzie trying to show someone "who's boss." This isn't Ozzie actually being this stupid. He's an idiot, but he's not THAT dumb.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:19 PM) Well, maybe this will finally get Ozzie fired. Something tells me KW is forcing Ozzie to play Dunn everyday.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:17 PM) There's no ? in my mind Oz will wind up there, but it's not such an ideal gig, really. For Ozzie, it actually is ideal.

QUOTE (OilCan @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:14 PM) apologies if this was already posted... Joe Ostrowski RT @cst_Cowley Rumor of the day from a scout here in DaBurgh: KW talked to two former managers this week, gaging interest, and one called Oz and told him. Just posted a thread about it.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:12 PM) Miami vs. Chicago for a summertime sport? Definitely Chicago. Loria's no day at the beach and will fire Ozzie no-questions-asked if his kid is disparaging the org on Twitter. Let me rephrase that for you: South Beach in the summer or Lake Michigan in the summer? Miami girls on the beach, or Chicago girls on the lake? Thanks. And FWIW, if they get Ozzie, Loria will be his b****. He's been waiting for Ozzie for 3 years. They'll double Ozzie's annual salary for 4-5 years. Two more for you: Miami's media, or Chicago's? Miami's laid back fan base, or Chicago's hard nosed, blue collar fan base? Exactly.

GOOD SPEED ABOARD /sarcasm
