Granny time.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 30, 2011 -> 05:38 PM) Pierre clearly went on that pitch. Seems like he got distracted by the runners. Great rest of post though I saw the replay of his swing looked to me like he barely moved it.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 30, 2011 -> 05:33 PM) Guillen and his NL bulls*** goes from 2 men on 0 outs and a 2-0 count to a failed bunt and a strike them out throw them out double play. So guillens bulls*** about his comments being taken out of context, he must of forgot that the big camera doesn't have context. Wow didnt see this very similar to mine .

OH that just pisses me off 1st Ozzie does his NL bulls*** ,righty who's figuring it out against a struggling lefty and calls for a bunt. like its the bottom of the ninth and all we need is one run. Then 2 terrible calls by the umps on the same play. Yea I know it's hindsight since Morel couldn't get the bunt down but knowing Pierre is up next its assinine. Play to break the game open . If Peavy holds the Red Sox to 0 runs the rest of the way I'll admit I was wrong but now I'm just fuming.

It needs to be said... Phil f*cking Humber !!!!

It is time for Viciedo . Our hitting against lefties sucks and hitting lefties is Viciedo's specialty.But in order for him to get significant PT Ozzie has to go .

kudos to Q !

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 24, 2011 -> 10:00 PM) He's having like one good game every week and a half, just enough to make Ozzie think he can still be the guy he was in Miami circa 2003 To be fair he does have a 9 game hitting streak. Not that I wouldnt take Viciedo in a heartbeat over him though.

Bunt to stay out of the DP and what happens? the great Pierre can't hit a fly ball deep enough to get the runner home from 3rd DP.

I know everybody rightfully calls Hawk a homer but some times if you pay attention he says things without saying things. He he just now described how hard all the TX hitters were smoking the ball this inning. Could he actually be saying Pena sucks or Ozzie sucks in so many words for bringing ( holy smokes a DUnn HR !!!!) in Pena to use against righties who have hit Pena much harder than lefties?

Rangers making great use of the run and hit this game.

Is there a stat out there that says what the Sox record is when both Ohman and Pena pitch ?

Good job big O.

I'm not expecting anything from Dunn. I'm expecting Viciedo to be called up so we can have a damn bat in the lineup who can smash lefties and play some left field. I am not expecting my expectations to be met however.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 24, 2011 -> 03:46 PM) I'm going to make an educated guess that the author of that ESPN/Chicago article has never once in his life seen Dayan Viciedo swing a baseball bat. Is Viciedo going to have the same impact as Dunn on the back of his baseball card? Obviously doubtful, but just to discount the possible contributions of a minor leaguer that you've probably never seen...well, it just goes to show you that anyone can have an opinion these days. Based on what I saw of Dayan last year I can absolutely 100% guarantee that he would have put the ball in play more against lefties than Dunn and 99.75% sure he would have better offensive numbers in just about any category you choose.

I remain optimistic based on the way the pitching has been lately. Sure I think Pierre at the top of the lineup is bad. I look at Rios and Beckham and their funky batting stances and grimace when they suck. I look at Josh Hamilton and see the kind of batting stance I love, relaxed ,just the right amount away from the plate. I want Dunn to wake up . I couldn't have imagined he'd be this bad overall and Kotsay bad against lefties.I think some minor tweaks would help a lot but unfortunately I doubt they will happen, such as Pierre leading off until Ozzie is fired then you have to fire Ozzie. Sitting Dunn against lefties and calling up Viciedo, who mashes lefties. But God forbid we bench our big free agent signing. Since we are pretty far behind at this point I think these changes need to made sooner rather than later and that won't happen. Have I given up on the season because of that ? Not really but sheesh Reinsdorf needs to let Kenny do what has to be done .

AJ bomb !!!

Lexibomb ! 2-0 Sox !!

The Teahen Effect strikes again.

Beckham go into a Pete Rose crouch or do something different to lay off those high pitches.
