why sacrifice when Pierre has a pair of hits already

hey look we got beat by another minor league player

I bet Jared Mitchell is even a better option than Rios

someone tell me what Rios was hacking at

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 02:15 PM) Did I mention at any time how Dunn had two hits Friday? Good for a week now. Whole offense kind of in a funk Yeah PK and AJ have been struggling after the allstar break. Only Quentin seems to be hitting. Been the story all season long, never have clicked on all cylinders.

There is our heart of the lineup

Konerko break out of your funk

I wonder if there are any scouts especially from Stl at the game tonight taking a look at Jackson. Quite sure there is.

Any1 else think Sale's development into his full potential is getting hindered. I know a few think it already is with him in the bullpen this year. But its really looking like we are just gonna keep stunting his development by keeping him in the bullpen forever.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 01:42 PM) Hell, moving Sale into the rotation would require removing 2 starters. Hahaha rite forgot about Beachsy.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 01:40 PM) Still need to remove another starter after that. I'd say Floyd gets moved and Sale gets inserted into the rotation. But that becomes less likely if Thornton gets dealt for Rasmus. I hope Sox aren't f***ing up with Sale's development and stashing him as a setup man of the future which would be really stupid.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 01:33 PM) I think Rios' contract is just too much of a killer to our payroll the next 3 years. Yeah I completely agree, we can only hope that Rios can bounce back for next yr.

sadly Rios and Dunn are both lost-causes for this yr. One can hope they can bounce back for next yr.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 01:26 PM) I'd do that in a heartbeat. Sale is just 22 years old who is the only pitcher in our system with ace potential to go along with 3 plus pitches at a young age. I wouldn't want to get rid of a player of the caliber just to dump off Rios.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 01:24 PM) I still think the Sox move a LH relief pitcher with Rios to a team. I posted Sale and Rios can get rid of Rios contract rather easily. No way would I move Sale even if it meant getting rid of Rios' contract

Nice!!

C'mon Edwin throw strikes

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 12:52 PM) Remember, we do have 6 starting pitchers this year. And Thornton really hasn't been Thornton this year anyways. Which means we are trading Thornton at a low value due to his offyear which isn't the best thing to do. But since Thornton did sign a big "closer money" contract I guess it might be good to deal him and Jackson away which can help in locking up young players like Danks or Quentin.

k is the rumours that are flying out there Jackson for Rasmus/Thornton for Rasmus or is Jackson+Thornton for Rasmus. I dunno if I would include both in a deal for Rasmus even if Thornton has been not his usual shutdown player this year

if we get rid of Thornton then I fear Sale will be in the bullpen forever and we have no firethrowing lefty meaning Ohman is the primary LH

another opportunity lost to gain some ground on the division

nice to see Sale back out there again

All hail our future ace!

great leadoff man aboard

Tigers lose now lets score Rios
