Yep, and our best hitter, Konerko, will remain mostly dormant in the 3 hole while Dunn's batting cleanup. Ozzie is a terrific mgr for run prevention - and a god-awful mgr for run production.

July 25, 201114 yr QUOTE (Real @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 07:06 PM) the renowned triangle theory that seems to always pop up in Boxing, lol Pops up in other sports, too. e.g. Years ago, when I followed the NBA, there were three really good point guards in the West: Gary Payton, Nick van Exel, and John Stockton. Van Exel would eat up Stockton, Stockton would dominate Payton, and Payton would chew up Van Exel. It went on for 2-3 yrs, never could understand it.

Derrick Rose demolished every other pg he saw after Jan 1. Just wanted to note that.
