I worry about Dunn getting hurt playing the outfield

Le sigh. Why aren't you worried about Rios getting hurt then? or Beckham? or Paulie? or AJ? or Viciedo? or Humber? or Escobar? or Alexei?

Dunn hasn't played LF since 2009. It is very different. Especially when you are talking about a slow, big, and bad outfielder in his days of playing the field daily.

Regardless, he is still a professional athlete.

So are sumo wrestlers. I wouldn't want them playing LF either.

We are in the era of sports where it is apparently preferrable to play your best players as little as possible in case they might get hurt and not be able to play at all.

Wind blowing in or out?

 

Stone just said in from RF.

Dunn doesn't move quickly enough to get hurt.

Where is that happening?

What if he puts his glove on his head, it slips and ends up covering his eyes, and then he trips, falls, and hits his head??

 

Something like this:

Its happening with fanbases everywhere. DRose shouldn't be playing he should be sitting, Dunn shouldn't be playing he might get hurt. Read fan comments anytime a significant player gets hurt, they shouldn't have been playing. The bottom line..........everyone might get hurt. They have been playing all of their lives, don't worry about it.

Hey, being a big Notre Dame fan, and a good friend of Jeff's cousin, I am a fan of him. I hope it's their bullpen we destroy today.

Rose probably shouldn't have been playing though. It was like the equivalent of being up by 5 with in the 9th inning and having your starting pitcher still out there with 120 pitches.

Not very comparable situations.

Dunn's mic'd up stuff was a riot

And to think I defended this guy and his nicknames. Shame on me.

 

Good GOD, do I hate the F***in' Irish.

As a Boilermaker, I support this statement.

Not that the Sox probably care at all, I just don't understand why Smardkfgjsdajfds would make the comment he made yesterday. It really served no purpose.

Comfort zone of their settings. Dunn has not played there in a while and therefore will not be comfortable which increases in my mind the exposure to something bad happening.

Reporters were probably asking everyone under the sun leading questions to get something started

To destroy their pen, we first must destroy the leprechan. F$%^ the Cubs and the same for The Dame! :gosoxretro:
