OVA! That was quick.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 11:17 PM) I really hope someone other than the Twins gets him. If you replace Blackburn's killer 5.80 ERA with Lee's 2.44, the Twins are gonna be ridiculous. I see no reason why they won't get him though. As good of a prospect as Wilson Ramos may be, they just locked up a guy for 8 years to do his job. Yeah that would be scary...and pretty much kill some dreams around here. I heard they might have to give up Slowey too...so he would take his spot not Blackburn's probably.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 11:11 PM) There's no harm in sending him down. If he goes to AAA and turns it around, then great. If he goes there and sucks..and continues to suck....then you realize his rookie year was on par with Josh Fields and Caruso. I would hope he fares better than both of them, but I guess you never know. His swing is all over the place right now.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 11:13 PM) It seems that if we get anyone, it will be Berkman, Laroche, or Luke Scott. I would think LaRoche would not cost us that much and he usually has crazy 2nd halfs.

QUOTE (soxfan3530 @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 11:12 PM) Yup. Can you imagine Vlad on this team right now. Pains me to look at his box score every night. Agreed...but we will see if it lasts all year. The Rangers are en fuego right now too. Josh Hamilton is re-donkulous of late.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 11:04 PM) Why go through the pain? That's like going back and looking at pictures of your wife when she was in college, and then comparing them to how she looks after having a child. Ha! Nice. My wife actually probably looks better than she did in college! But no kids. But I digress. It is just frustrating to see him struggle so bad when he had such great bat control last season. I could see AAA working and I like the Aviles comparison. While Beckham may have more raw talent, Aviles had a real live bat his rookie season, then struggled and was sent to AAA. He seems to have fixed his swing and has played well this season. Maybe Beckham could figure it out in AAA?

Has anyone in the organization tried to look at video on Beckham from last year compared to this year? I mean it has to be more than mental approach at this point.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 10:59 PM) McCann takes some mighty swings...thought that was gone off the bat. Same here.

Joining the game late again...how did Buehrle look?

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 11:43 PM) Adam Dunn should be the #1 target for Kenny Williams. He's an absolutely perfect fit. I've wanted him on the Sox for a while. Yes, yes. More of this. Adam LaRoche wouldn't be bad either. He would cost less and wouldn't kill you to play 1B to rest Paulie and have him play DH.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 09:02 PM) Hawk really has no f***ing clue how to judge a right fielder defensively. He said the same bulls*** about Dye as recently as last season when it was apparent to EVERYONE that he could no longer play the position. Yeah he says that about Q now. Q makes nice catches on balls that most RF's can make in their sleep and Hawk thinks they are awesome plays.

Wow, just turned the game on. Looks like everyone but Beckham getting in the party.

Good thing Dunn is fail at 1B. He needs to go to the AL and be a DH.

Yeah, I would have bunted with Pierre as well. Too bad we don't have a good 2nd place hitter....well he was probably a good 2nd hole hitter 10 years ago.

That was a rope. Hawk with a premature ejac there too.

I already know how the 8th will go. Gavin will walk the 1st guy. Coop will come out. Then a base hit. Then someone will come in...give up 2 runs.

This is dumb. Gavin should not be hitting or pitching next inning. Dumb.

I guess Clippard has been better than pretty good. :-)

Damn. All that with 2 out as well. Garbage.

What was that pitch?

I was reading a fantasy baseball article about Dunn's average. Based on his peripheral numbers, expect that to drop.

Cannot hang one here to the Big Donkey.

Good call by the umps.

I agree with limiting Strasburg. You need to protect him.
