Sox took game one. Win this game, and they win the series, their second straight road series against an ALC opponent.

 

Peavy got the rest he wanted. Duffy has a 5.73 ERA in July.

 

Don't stop now boys...

 

GO YOU WHITE SOX!!!

 

LOL.

 

Duffman is thrusting in the direction of the problem.

I'll be heading out to this one tonight, making the 5 hour round-trip to catch the boys play. (I decided not to go to the game last night with Buehrle on the clock.) First time at Kauffman, should be exciting. $36 for third row behind the Sox dugout, nice.

 

Let's get it done, Peavy!

Tyler Flowers will start tonight.

 

What's Duffman's career high for strikeouts in a game?

Get back to me at 9:30pm CST and I'll let you know.

 

Do it. Do it

Jake, put up or for the love of god, shut up.

Duffy had 9 Ks in 3.2 innings last month vs the Cards. Lets not hope for another game like last night where the opposing pitcher just mows us down. Hopefully Jake can bounce back with the extra rest.

Yes, I was losing my mind laughing so hard.

So will Adam Dunn bat fourth tonight?

Most likely.

it is so, so key to this team's season for Dunn to snap out of this horrific slump/season. PK/Dunn/TCQ would look so much better if Dunn was his usual self.

I just don't think it's going to happen. We are reaching the end of July with no signs of progress at all.

Yeah, Adam Dunn needs a few months away from the game. In all honesty, he needs to be sent to AAA in favor of Viciedo for this team to stand a shot.

He has the right to refuse a demotion, do you think he'll accept it?

Dunn is going nowhere lower than 4th in the lineup. In fact, wouldn't be at all surprised to see him in there today since Ozzie says he's giving AJ and JP a day off (yes, he hits better against LH pitching, but stats are for fans).

I'm jealous.

 

I'll probably be heading to the mid-September series in KC, depending on whether we're in the hunt or not.

 

Have fun.

And I understand that Morel will be starting the next two days against lefties, who he hits .191 against. Somebody please inform Ozzie of the fact that platoon stats are often very individual-specific, and don't follow the usual convention.

 

Is there anyone in the org that would actually point out such information?

 

I'm looking for Dunn to be brought in as a pinch hitter against a lefty sometime soon.

So wait, today's lineup is going to include

 

Juan Pierre

Brent Morel

Adam Dunn

Tyler Flowers

Alex Rios

 

 

That's not exactly what I'd call scary.

I don't think Pierre is supposed to play today. Bet it's Lillibridge. Scary enough?
