Heck with that, after yesterday's display I want him released.

I was at the game. He was awful. Not just the fielding blunder either, I mean, he looked bad defensively more than once... he couldn't lay down a bunt... and he failed to run out the sacrifice that could have resulted in not making an out. After a game like that, from a minor league veteran, he should have no place on the roster.

The thing that really got me was the lack of hustle. You didn't write the one on the last out of the game...struck out swinging at a pitch in the dirt, but instead of running to first base, did the dejected walk away from the plate. At least make them throw the ball to first!

Olmedo needs to go the way of Jose Paninangua and never be heard from again.

Hey now

That was one of the worst plate appearances I have ever seen.

 

The bunt I can understand...he was trying not to run into the tag...

It would be really awesome if we kicked ass this series.

 

3 out of 4 or sweep.

 

 

I would prefer we sweep the Tigers right out of Chicago.

I wil be watching tonite on MLB-network. The three game series in Detroit was televised and I was depressed for severral days. I didn't want to get out of bed

JUST WIN DAMN'T!

Have tickets for Wednesday. Took a quick gander at Stubhub to discover $7 tickets for tomorrow (500 level). Thats hilarious, because this is pretty much a playoff game. If the defibrillators I ordered on Amazon for this week get here in a timely fashion, I might just have to buy. Beer costs more than that at a ballpark. I'm not one to bring up attendance, but you can rest assured that if the Cubs were in the Sox' position- up two games on the closest division rival with 3 weeks to go in the season- the s***tiest seats in their park would be going for around $50 and your firstborn child.

Well this is just ignorant.

 

It's half price night, tickets upstairs are already FACE at 7, 11, and 13 bucks. Why should they be $50 on stubhub?

i like all of this conversation about banning Jose Paniagua. /green

I cannot function today at work.

 

I am too nervous.

If you're going to ban Paniagua, you might as well ban bread and water as well.

let them eat cake

Possible to watch the game online somewhere? I'd probably buy it online if you can buy just one game...

This. It just seems obvious that Rios should be batting 3rd with Dunn out...or even with him in.

 

 

Right or wrong, it's apparent that Robin thinks that moving Rios around in the lineup would mess with his head.

Well this is just ignorant.

Because the game should be sold out and impossible to buy a "face" ticket for.

The point is he looked on stubhub for prices and was somehow surprised - there's a pretty good reason they are that low.

Heading to the park tonight after work. The nerves are starting to creep up. Let's win this one and not look back.

Well this is just ignorant.

Wasn't aware of the 1/2 Price Promo, but that's ok. Tickets for a game that would very much be in-demand on the other side of town aren't selling even after they're marked half off. If the Sox sold out the park and there were still fans that wanted to come out to the park, prices on Stubhub would reflect the demand despite what face value was. Not sure what was ignorant about that.

 

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are cheap as dirt as well- no 1/2 Price Promo.

It was as Jenksy Cat said. The surprise was about the availability and lack of demand for tickets to four home games that will decide the outcome of the season.

The problem on the bunt was that he lolly-gagged it to first base after stopping. Stopping I get. He could have beaten the throw to first if he started running full speed after the throw went to 2nd.

I don't think he could have, but I understand the frustration.

 

The entire team sucks lately...my confidence has really been shaken...I sure hope they show us something this week.

I don't get it. The guy is f***ing lucky to be on a major league baseball roster. He should be busting ass twice as hard to try to prove he belongs.

Depending on how you view Adam vs. Wise, it could also be a good time.

 

Really? This is dumb. People can be stupid about Dunn all they want but wanting Wise instead of him is just the dumbest thing I have heard so far today.

If nothing else, it would have been a helluva lot closer.
