Some of you blaming Jose for the mess up at first isn't quite right. Paulie made a quick step towards 1st after not getting the ground ball. Jose saw that and slowed down assuming Paul was going to cover.

 

I thought it was Konerko's fault also. I don't think it matters tonight, Contreras has NOTHING. His forkball is atrocious. I have no faith in Contreras the rest of the season, and think we might be in the market for another starting pitcher in a few weeks.

good god jose looks terrible

Hopefully KW is watching this and previous games from Contreras and rethinks this about not needed a possible starter.

7 base runners, 5 men retired. This is like last season, where he was always around one base runner per out retired.

we got nothing to offer that will bring anything of value in return

anyone want to bet ozzie leaves jose out there just way way too long tonight?

After seeing what the Cubs gave up for Harden, maybe the trade market is better than we think.

With the horrible shape of our bullpen, I have no problem if he does. I'll make a rare pessimistic post...the Sox will go 1-5 this week.

I don't think we have the ammo...but Bedard could be had.

we certainly dont have anything nearly as good as gallagher close to the majors...maybe some teams would like poreda, but hes still even 2 years away probably and teams dealing at the deadline usually want guys they can run out there next year

we are 1 guy short, but we still have a pretty good and rested bullpen though

I think Poreda and Fields could get you some big time talent. Bedard is an injury mess, I want nothing to do with him.

Two solids hits by Alexei and Orlando.

That was sick by OC.

Who else is left? Bedard and Burnett. Any other names? Forgot about Freddy but will he even be able to help anytime soon?

thats true...i dont see KW giving up on either personally though...especially since we have no real obvious upgrade anywhere except over contreras

OC, why in the hell aren't you tagging?

AJ gave it a ride for an out to center. Alexei tags up 1st and 3rd 1 out for CQ.

I wonder if the AL is weakening as all our best pitchers head to the NL.

the AL certainly took a hit by those two guys going to the other league...but the pitching in the AL is still far, far ahead of the NL

CQ 5 for his last 35 coming into tonight.

Pathetic...

OC's terrible base running costs us a run. This team just seems out of it tonight, as they might be facing one of the worst pitchers we'll see all season.

Thanks for not tagging up OC.

terrible day already and getting worse
