Hawk needs to shut up. No way any 2b covers first on that with the defense we were in. I guarantee Paulie falls back to cover 1st on that and we get the out.

Dunn's playing first.

Had we walked Kemp, that identical ground ball could have been a get out of the inning DP.

 

Instead, it's an RBI groundout and a free run.

 

Did Mattingly and Ozzie agree to give each other a gift run before the game or something like that? That was incredibly dumb.

Ozzie Ball.

Ethier bunts and takes the bat out of Kemps hands?

 

Is Mattingly insane?

 

Why the hell would you ever bunt with a guy who was just on a 30 something game hitting streak?

That inning was mind blowingly bad strategy. It's like they wanted to outdo each other with stupidity.

 

I don't know how else to process it.

 

Remember in 2006 there was a time where Ozzie got Podsednik on 1b, bunted him over to 2b with Iguchi, immediately walked Thome, and let Konerko GIDP? I think that was against Gardenhire.

Another GIDP for Alexei.

 

Kinda remarkable.

Every pitch to Konerko looks like a beachball.

Alexis!

Hustle bloop double for Omar.

 

Hawk's right. Garland needs forever to throw a pitch now.

Garland getting blooped to death.

Bases loaded for Juan!

beckham should bunt

I like Brent staring down garland after being hit. He'd be booed if he did anything there.

I swear to God Pierre has been up with the bases loaded more than ANYONE on the Sox this season

Juan is like a little leaguer, what a joke

Nice to see Alexei pick up JP there

 

Juan is like a little leaguer, what a joke

 

He got a hit today. That will allow him to go 0-12

 

adam dunn should kill this ab

Trancoso should consider grooving one to Paulie for our enjoyment.

There is no way to get Paul Konerko out.

That was an awesome inning! Now I can relax a bit and enjoy the game lol

Why does everybody act like the NL is such a dogs*** league.

They go 9-5 again against AL last night.

People act like the league sucks.

Your entire evaluation is based on 1 night?

I see Dunn is 0-2 on a day paulie is 3-3. Hilarity.

Noppe.

I agree with the Grobber that the weak NL argument is weak, although Adam Dunn is making a good argument that the AL pitching is much better.

That was Buehrle at his finest. Making Kemp lean and look sick on the weak pop to Rios.
