QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 10, 2012 -> 09:19 PM) Just have to tie this game up. Crain looks really good of late I hope he is finally healthy now because they need him down the stretch here.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 10, 2012 -> 09:10 PM) Again? He's still there for now.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 10, 2012 -> 08:41 PM) Absolutely, especially if they're not going to try and get some more offense into Konerko's spot for the next week. Danks is nothing more than a late inning defensive replacement. I don't know what they should do honestly. Feels like a lot of bad options all around right now. I don't want to see Morel back up unless they get rid of Hudson or Olmedo.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 10, 2012 -> 08:37 PM) Another first pitch out for Danks...awful. It would have been a beautiful squeeze effort. I like his defense, but not very much with that bat. Even his hits have been bloopers and singles. You calling for "THE CATCH" to return?

Yay! Konerko with a homer.

I'd like to see a few more runs as a cushion if we're able to keep the lead for when Reed comes in.

I walked out of the room and missed the home run. My goodness, as I type this Beckham with a hit!

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 02:47 PM) Wow Viciedo, get your head in the f'n game! Alexi running out there like he did most likely made him take it easier in getting there. Bad job there and poor communication.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 02:19 PM) It's amazing how much worse the lineup is without AJ in it to balance out all the righties at the bottom of it. With Alexi and Tank you have 2 very streaky hitters and Beckham is what he is going to be. When you insert Flowers for AJ, it's pretty much a lost day at that position. I know he doesn't play often but, I'm surprised at the lack of power from Flowers. Only guys I have confidence in coming through now is Rios, DeAza and Youk because he'll at least have a productive AB.

Oye. Good opportunity and cannot score.

Here we go now. 1st and 2nd with 0 outs.

4-3 Tribe now.

Sorry if this was posted already; I know there was some talk here about some whispers of Dunn having problems with a sick child last year: Puppy

Hey, Fenway. Nice to see you posting here.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 11, 2012 -> 03:58 PM) That is what I thought. WTF They are taking a chance on the weather for sure. I don't think they are going to do a smaller arena type show until they can't sell out one of these stadiums.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 11, 2012 -> 01:50 PM) WrestleMania 29 will be at Metlife Stadium in New York. Is that a dome? Because I imagine late March in NY outside wouldn't be terriffic conditions. Pretty much means no MSG for XXX Not a dome.

Chuck Garfien @ChuckGarfien Looks like a slimmer Adam Dunn will be at Sox Fest next week. Heard he's lost 30 pounds.

Just as an FYI the game is being broadcast on WCIU - The U for those who locally get the channel. I had thought it was just a national broadcast tonight, so if you want to hear King and Funk you can.

Even if Kenny isn't lying about not trading the starters now, they certainly have some offensive players and relievers they could move.

Wasn't one of the scouts we just hired from the Jays? Interesting that we deal with them right away if I am remembering correctly.

Boers and Bernsie were talking about this on their show today. Bernsie brought up that people he talks to tell him (take it for what you will) that there is rift between the pitchers and the offense. He phrased it as similar to a defense in football knowing they can't give up a touchdown because the offense is horrible. Bernsie said he was told he pitchers feel if they give up more than 2 runs in a game that they'll lose. Peavy mentioned after his last loss that it's tough to win when you only score 2. Coop got mad in this interview when Barry Rozner mentioned Humber had 2 bad games in a row. Coop was saying he had 1 bad inning in Detroit, but if they could hit and catch the ball it wouldn't be an issue.
