The Sox will look to redeem themselves from yet another blown game when they take on the Tribe @ 6 PM central time, but the real question is how many runs with the Sox pen give up tonight?

 

Here's to everyone staying healthy and for the sox young players to do good and the guys that are on the block to do amazing so Ken Williams can get some A level prospects over to the southside (and by A I mean as a grade, not a ballers). Of course Ken Williams has said he will not blow up the team (we can only hope that is a cover....and I mean we can only hope cause if he sticks with this team I might just cry).

I haven't been around for too long, but haven't seen a pen like this, ever.

 

It sounds like the veterans on the team are getting really pissed off. You never see a guy like Buehrle start saying in the press that some people need to go.

on a positive note, Haeger at least did his job last night

Go Sox!

So glad this site is back!!!!

Haeger should have been here all year. You talk about player slumps? Williams has been in one nearly a year now

Number one target of any trade should be a replacement for Uribe.

 

 

thank the ump for that DP with his ridiculous low and outside strikes. This series has been terrible from the umps

Let's get a moral victory here and take this series!

Absolutely...he makes getting a hit seem so difficult, and his defense has been mediocre this year.

I bumped the SS thread in tradewinds for Uribe ripping pleasure.

It would be one thing if Uribe was stellar at defense while he's hitting at .210. But his defense just has been mediocre to poor all season long. I hope who ever we get for Contreras, a solid SS prospect is involved in the deal. Changes better be made damn soon.

I laugh at Alex Cintron and the Sox's offense

Uribe must be too hard headed to instruct. He swings at everything and I believe Walker and Ozzie said he needed to be more patient. It didn't sink in obviously.

Just wanted to say that Paul Konerko is awesome right now....that contract he signed is such a waste.

 

But yes, it's amazing how bad our bench is right now with Toby, Cintron, Gonzalez on it.

Where is AJ, he always starts if there is a Righty on the mound.

So we had the bases loaded in the first with no outs and got one run across? Uggh...it's sad, but that sounds about right.

Some good Konerko numbers coming into today:

 

For the Season: .271/.366/.514/.880

 

Since April 23rd: .294/.381/.569/.950 (73 G) 18 2B, 18 HR, 39 BB, 46 SO

 

Since May 19th: .333/.427/.650/1.077 (52 G) 16 2B, 14 HR, 31 BB, 29 SO

 

Since June 4th: .343/.442/.701/1.143 (39 G) 13 2B, 12 HR, 25 BB, 21 SO

 

Since July 1st: .377/.484/.830/1.314 (15 G) 9 2B, 5 HR, 11 BB, 8 SO

 

Now add another HR and these numbers look even more remarkable.

yeah, i mean i think most knew all along paulie would hit, he hit 35 HR each of the last three years, its just the thing that is so frustrating about him is that he can be prone to extended slumps like the beginning of this year and the start of 03

Where is AJ, he always starts if there is a Righty on the mound.

Day game after a night game on a takeoff day, Ozzie does have a habit of using the backup C those days. I presume AJ played the last 2 games?

Wow, and Matt Thornton comes in and does the job.

Nice to see the BP actually get out of a bad situation there...

Where does Buehrle rank in terms of ERA for AL starters now?

 

Also, I wasn't around yesterday, but I noticed that Cleveland fans cheered when one of their relievers almost hit Thome. What a bunch of assholes.

Gameday is stuck. I see that matt Thornton relieved Matt Thornton (how can that happen?) and it's stuck. What happened?
