Rios cleanup ? Can the guy be rewarded much more for his stellar play?

If you hit Konerko 3rd, and Q is out, who exactly is left to hit clean up? Dunn?

Well, Weaver hasn't won a game for something like a month.

 

Don't think he's pitched that poorly (see Danks, J. 0-7 start) but simply a function of the anemic (yet better than White Sox nevertheless) offense.

Baines, Melton, Kitty or Walker

Juan Pierre has an offday!!!!!!!!!!

He got shelled in the last game of his I watched

The one prior to that, he faced Verlander and there was the stare-down incident with Carlos Guillen and Weaver was summarily ejected not so long after.

yay - Seattle decided to finally play good right before we come to town

And Avila may well be the reason no one will catch the Tigers.

Dunn in, Lillibridge out (again) Same line-up as last night for today's game. Gee, Ozzie, it worked so well yesterday, you're going with it again tonight, huh? Anyone expect a different result?

 

 

Wow, half an hour into the game and not a single post about it. People have REALLY stopped caring.

I'll get it started...Dunn is a disgrace and shouldn't start another game rest of the way. Tampa with a crazy win over Detroit.

 

Weaver is absolutely making our hitters look silly out there. I guess scouting report says to take pitches against him no matter where they cross the plate.

Stewart looks awful. He desperately needs to tighten up his offspeed pitches, as he's basically a one-pitch pitcher, and that is an 91 mph fastball.

This f***ing team loves to be sub .500! FIRE them all. 2 out hits guys have to be hitting .400 last month with 2 outs and RISP against the Sox.

Startin' to see why prophet AA was willing to part with Stewart. His stuff does not impress me.

Looks like a #4/5 starter to me out there. Not the worst thing in the world, but his ceiling seems pretty low.

De Aza's had some really strong at bats against tough pitchers.

He's impressive. Hope he can stay healthy because he looks like a good player.

If PK cannot run any faster than that go on the DL he is not helping the team at all.

PK's running is one of those few things i'm sure i'll remember in 30 years

Stewart has nothing tonight.

What's the record for smallest game thread ever page-wise. This one will probably smash it...

Be nice if we can stop pitching our starting pitchers in relief, even though Ozzie had to.

 

 

By the way, a nice awful stretch to end the year will get us into the top 10 for draft slot. With how JR spends money on the draft, the first pick for the Sox is really the only where draft position matters.
