South Side Fireworks Man

Anybody know why Viciedo was pulled from the game early tonight?

What a bunch of bulls***. They could have gotten half of the game in already. It still hasn't rained yet. They're still waiting for rain because the radar looks bad. This game may be "radared out" at this rate. Same thing happened last night. They delayed the game because the radar looked bad yet it never rained. Either they better calibrate their radar in Cleveland or hire somebody else who knows how to read it more accurately. What a crock.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 09:28 PM) how about a DP to silence those f***ing drums I hate those f***ing drums!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 09:26 PM) Dunn's timing looked good all night. Good swings, just matter of him squaring the ball up and remembering he's Adam Dunn and not Mark Teahen. Maybe his sore knee is hindering his power a bit.

Where has Adam's power gone?

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 09:17 PM) how do you pitch to Konerko with 1B open? Very carefully.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 08:19 PM) Can somebody explain to me what Mark Teahen does well? I mean like one thing. That's all I ask. He doesn't do anything well, but he was never this bad with the bat until he got on the Sox. I wonder why? Sounds familiar for some strange reason.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 08:02 PM) two men on.......we know how this ends With a three run HR by CQ.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 10:14 PM) Quentin only Sox player to homer since the ASB. We need some power in this lineup. Phil Rogers finally suggested the one player I wish we had the players/payroll to add, and that's Aramis Ramirez. No doubt he'd accept a trade here, but you don't do that deal unless you bring him back for 2-3 more seasons. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shouldn't have been pitching to Butler anyway.

Watch the bunt to 3B. Never mind.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 09:42 PM) Is Dunn available to pinch strikeout for someone tonight? If he's not he should be on the DL.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 09:42 PM) That was the perfect chance to use Dunn against a pitcher he's had success against. With Alexei as our DH, there's really no other spot where you could use Dunn. I'm sure Ozzie knows that. But does he feel it???

How about a Lexi bomb right here?

Now we have to put up with Teahen's defense at 3B.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 09:36 PM) Way to go Sale! f*** it, let Dunn hit for Morel. Maybe he would draw the dreaded leadoff walk at least.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 09:34 PM) Here comes their Adam Dunn. Told you so!

Here comes their Adam Dunn.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 09:27 PM) Hideous swing by Beckham. It's not like he was going to hit Crow's fastball, so he should have been sitting on the slider. Beckham needs help with his swing that he's not getting from the Sox' current hitting coach.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 09:17 PM) Didn't Oz say he hopes for Dunn in the Cle series I don't care what Oz hopes, I'm saying what I hope!

I hope they win tonight and then bring up Viciedo after the day off tomorrow. Put Dunn on the DL with his sore knee.

QUOTE (High Mileage @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 09:10 PM) Anybody know why Melky was pulled from the game? He turned his ankle after swinging and grounding out to third base.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 09:09 PM) I'm beginning to think Konerko is hurt. He's taken so many of those defensive swings since the ASB He does look a little "off" lately.

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 04:33 PM) that OPS was inflated by a hot last week of the season against AAA pitching. i think prior to that week his average was a lot lower. i agree its not entirely out of the question, i just dont think it will happen. but even if he matched carlos, it doesn't improve the offense. we need both of them in the lineup to improve But if they did get another pitcher, say someone like Beachy back for Carlos, that allows the Sox to trade a starter for another bat.
