QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 09:23 PM) Ummm....he's kind of leading the majors in homers and Top 5 in RBI. At any rate, Dunn always struggles when he gets behind in the count. He has at least one more at-bat, though. Relax. Wasn't calling him horses***, was referring to not getting a hit.

Horses***

He shouldve crushed that first pitch.

Earn your money tonight Donkey

Way to dig De Aza

How is Philly asking for the Orioles 3rd best prospect for Joe Blanton? That's insane. KW stole the players we got if that's the case. f***ing robbery.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 08:57 PM) I know it's not the place but how does the Padres front office still have a job after giving away Rizzo like that? Shady s*** went down with that deal.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 08:55 PM) How is this pitcher not only still in, but has qualified for the win! Tank has so much Juan Uribe streaky play it is unreal. Exactly. This kid is brutal. Should have at least 10 runs against this bum.

Swinging for dowtown Minny. Just needed a basehit.

Mercy!!!!!!

Leadoff man aboard

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 08:39 PM) That's a joke, it's been happening since baseball was invented. It's sending a message, I'm not saying send a defensive replacement in that inning right after it happens (although that has happened, and that I feel is unprofessional) but when he comes in after the 1/2 inning you pull him to the side and very "politely" let him know he can spend the rest of the game on the bench thinking about whatever is so important it's taken from your focus on the field. A guy is not going to lose his snit over this unless he is soft. Haa haaaa you're funny.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 08:36 PM) Sitting him will ensure he will never make an errot again? That kid is ridiculous.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 08:34 PM) Absolutely not, what I'm talking about is having the ability to hold a guy like Alexi responsible for his defensive mental lapses the past two games. You take him out sit him on the bench and I can promise he wouldnt do it again. Problem is you take Lexi out his spot in the order is an automatic out. Just be nice to have a guy to come off the bench who can carry a stick. If nothing else to give the guy a mental break every once in a whole. I am very much in favor of the Lirano trade as per all my posts since, just saying the way we have mentally gave teams life by mental errors needs to stop. And Robin needs to send a meAsage but it's hard when you don't have the tools to do such. I'm old school and when a guy plays like Alexi has the past two games he's is taking a seat next to me on the bench You pull that s*** and you lose your veterans.

Got lucky there.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 08:26 PM) Hard to take a game from anyone when your giving 4 and 5 outs or and extra base very inning. Plain lack of focus and Robin needs to right the ship or hold people accountable. Personally after the last two games I would have pulled Alexi to show him it stops now..... Oh wait we can't we don't have a major league suitable SS replacement. Haaa haaaaaa you're funny

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 08:21 PM) Sox are just running into a team swinging the bats well. Offense needs to carry us this series. That has nothing to do with it, Quintana is garbage tonight. Absolute garbage.

This one is over. Books out on Quintana

2-1 Boston

Oh well. On to Minny.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 08:30 PM) Yup, but still no reason to be shutout by Feldman. Still got 3 outs to work with, let's just keep it in bloop & blast range & see what happens. Its hard to sweep a club as good as Texas at home. Sometimes the offense gets shutdown. Tip your cap.

Like I said earlier, I'll take 2 of 3 in Texas everytime.

Terrible defense tonight.
