I wish the AS break started today.

No need to play Minnie four straight starting tomorrow.

 

Now if we'd call up Viciedo and DeAza and fire Walker all today, I'd be all for playing Minnie.

 

We could call up Trout and Harper and I still wouldn't feel good about playing Minny.

Here's a serious question.

Would you take KC's lineup 1-9 over ours starting tomorrow?

 

And take their relief corps over ours?

 

 

Beckham turned out to be a major bust.

 

Still want to give him a season with a new hitting coach and different perspective.

Good pitching will make your offense look stagnant.

 

Going for striking out the side on 9 consecutive pitches.

Beckham turned out to be a major bust.

 

I'm still not ready to go there. But colossal disappointment is more than acceptable.

Beckham turned out to be a major bust.

 

So Beckham is good field no hit.

Not a good combination for a second basemen. Those guys can be found anywhere.

Actually, Ohman has been pretty effective lately. He may be a valuable trade piece right now.

How many shortstops that are close to the top defensively are also averaging 15 homers and 60+ RBI's per season?

 

This is not 2008. Offense has fallen off by 20-25% since then. That's the equivalent of 20 and 75, normally Juan Uribe's numbers.

Again mr. Gammons what is defense? Fancy plays in the hole? How many games/runs had he cost us with bonehead plays? A lot more than he's saved

Yes, I think we can say Beckham for all the hoopla and acclaim the Media gave him, BUST.

At least the Twins just got blown out in the last two innings, maybe that can slow down any momentum they had

We could call up Trout and Harper and I still wouldn't feel good about playing Minny.

I think I would prefer Trout at this point

Shoulda done that your last at bat, Brent.

You actually got a hit against a good pitcher and failed miserably against a worse pitcher with bags juiced in the sixth.

Where the hell was that swing with the bases loaded?

 

The White Sox just haven't gotten very many timely hits recently.

No on both. KC still sucks even though they are beating us.

Heh

We couldn't beat them when they brought up their AAA roster.

 

Beckham is a bust by the standards he was supposed to live up to. I don't know if it had to do with him switching positions, or what, but he's definitely a bust.

Beckham is not a bust yet. If Beckham is a bust, then Crede is a bust. They have nearly identical stats through the same number of games.

Adam Dunn is straight broken.

Another K. Keep batting him 3rd Ozzie!!

Man Dunn is brutal....

The Chicago White Sox have big problems.

Especially when you consider how valuable of a trade chip he once was.

at least he avoided the sombrero today
