I don't get why Ventura is keeping Alexei in the 2nd spot when he's openly questioning (Ventura that is) if it's having a negative impact on Alexei's power. I'm all for giving Beckham the chance batting 2nd, as it's not like things can get much worse for this offense.

I'm all for penciling in Rios at #3 and drawing the other 8 spots out of a hat.

It's just amazing the lack of energy and enthusiasm this team has. Everyone continues to play so tight. It will be interesting to see if anyone in the organization has the balls to make changes after what has to be one of the more ridiculous 4 game series in recent Sox history (assuming they go on to lose tonight).

Dunn and PK easy outs.

Sad how much power Konerko has lost the last year.

Stats for Astros first 3 games BA .200 runs 11 wins 3.

It's amazing that in a 4 game series, the Sox have not had one home run at this park from any of their righties.

Sox at least keep there error a game streak going.

Viciedo all the way down to .190 vs RHP.

Viciedo is a brutal baseball player.

He's playing himself into a platoon player for another team most likely. Just another of the disappointments with regards to offensive players developed by the Sox.

Haha, 3-0 green light to our #9 hitting back-up catcher, and he pops it up to the SS.

According to ESPN, Keppinger has the worst WAR in baseball. Viciedo is 3rd, and Konerko is 4th (since Young Jr. is no longer on the Rockies). That's incredibly impressive to have 3 of the top 4!

Makes exciting baseball glad I am not paying to see it.

Losing is not fun

Shocked Flowers isnt there. Dunn is probably up there too.

Great execution of the rundown guys-pathetic.

I had such seriously high hopes for that guy.

Hockey is back on, stop watching bad baseball fellas.

it's bad hockey versus bad baseball....

It's gotten to that point where it's interesting to hear who draws the ire of the booths (TV & Radio) and who doesn't.

If konerko hits a home run here the whole season will turn around

boy the astros d is even worse

Baseball's a funny game...two rocket outs followed by two slow rollers that go for hits.

PK singles 2-1 Astros.
