Not a bad way to start!

1-2-3 Dylan. Lets go. Shut them down quick.

Viciedo's bat speed looks off since he returned from injury. If he can't get it going soon, then you sit him and play ADA in LF.

 

That Quentin trade is looking pretty bad.

Not really

So is drafting Gordon Beckham.

 

If we didn't have Viciedo when Quentin was sitting on the bench in April and May, we wouldn't be in first place now.

 

Danks isn't a full-time player.

 

By the way, do you STILL want to trade Alexei Ramirez? You can't criticize both of them constantly, then not give credit to Ramirez for a huge, clutch two out RBI.

 

 

 

 

AND, the key player in the trade for Liriano was Hernandez, who we also got for Quentin. So Liriano and Viciedo > injury prone Carlos Quentin at a MUCH higher salary

That works for me

Some posters also have nothing new...nice to see Axelrod getting away with 87 MPH BP fastballs.

 

The key is nursing him through this game and getting Santiago in there to bridge to the bullpen.

 

It would be nice to see the monday at Boston Axelrod start, but we can't count on a shutout or one run game from him by any stretch of the imagination.

Maybe we should also trade Konerko, since he has the exact same number of RBI's as the "horrible" SS that we should (constantly and) supposedly trade.

 

And he's been in a much better position to drive in runs all season long than Alexei, so maybe we should trade Paulie instead.

I'd rather have Quentin than Viciedo for the rest of this season.

 

Guess we also can't trust Wise against LHP because he hit into a DP there.

 

Waive him.

I say we give up on the season already

What's the point, the Tigers salted away the division after game 10.

DUH.

 

But the point is that 1) that's not an option, and 2) I could name 15 players at every position except for a couple (AJP, Rios, Dunn, Konerko, YOUK) that I'd rather have in the Sox line-up, but this is OUR team, right now, as is, as currently comprised.

 

Would you rather have traded the prospects the Angels did and got a lot less performance from Greinke than Liriano, too?

 

By all rights, 5 of 6 out of Liriano's starts should be victories, if not for Brett Myers' outing on Monday night. And the Angels?

 

We could name 27 second basemen who would be better offensively than Beckham as well.

The only thing KW did wrong this year was participate in the overreaction and miscommunication in the Sale "tender elbow" situation.

Good throw may have got him at 2nd.

That's classic, what next? Move Gordon Beckham or Lillibridge to SS and sell off Ramirez for nothing?

 

Would you still do that TODAY?

Finish the inning.

Nice.

Did you just reall say that? Grill? Haa haaaaaa

This is already an insta-classic.

 

In my grill? Where did you come up with that? Have you been watching Keeping up with the Kardashians or Jersey Shore?
