QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 04:47 PM) I don't knoew about to Atlanta, but I would not be surprised if Teahan did go. It seems that with Morel up an doing a good job with the glove and at least adequate at this point with the bat Teahan is being bounced around for playing time. He can still play a pretty decent 3B and has shown some versatility, but is good enough to be an everyday player for some team Name that team who would replace one of their starting players with Mark Teahen.

Trading our 2nd best offensive player in the middle of the season when we are seemingly closing in on 1st place seems to be at direct odds with the "All In" mantra. I just can't see it happening.

You gotta be BLEEPIN' me!!!!

That's a niiiiiiiccccceeeee!

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jun 29, 2011 -> 05:48 PM) Lilli was loafing. Then, in post game interview, he explains how it should look to the world, that the park is SOOOO big he has to play deep and he couldn't make the play. Ozzie can't to anything about Rios other than bench him, but they can send Lilli back to Charlotte and bring up De Aza, who at least is a real outfielder and is playing well in AAA. Am I reading this correctly? A suggestion that Lillibridge be sent back to Charlotte over one bad night, after how amazing he's played for us so far this year? I mean, really. Really???

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 08:45 PM) Check the replay, he didn't get to it just fine. He took a very leisurely route to the ball. I don't need to see the replay. The "getting to the ball" aspect of things isn't the issue here at all. He got to that ball in plenty of time to make an easy catch. It's the "how does a Major Leaguer get to a ball in plenty of time and then let it hit off the heel of his mitt" that, to me, is both the issue and the frustrating aspect of that particular play. That particular play, I might add, which isn't even a factor in this ballgame in the least bit.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 08:39 PM) IMO, both What did he "dog" on the field, Fathom? He got to that ball just fine, but it hit off the heel of his mitt, which is why he didn't catch it. Believe me, I was frustrated with that error just as much as anyone, but only because he DIDN'T dog it, he DID hustle to get to the ball in time, which means he should have caught it, but he didn't. But it wasn't because of lack of hustle. People seem to want to link his lack of hustle down the line earlier in the game with this particular play, but they are not comparable, at least IMHO.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 08:38 PM) did he dog it on the bases or in the field? On the bases

QUOTE (aprec32 @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 08:08 PM) I agree that he is our best CF......by far! His trot on that foul out along with the lazy route to the fly ball is disturbing. That's all. It's only lazy if he doesn't get there in time. He got there in time.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 08:00 PM) lazy route on that ball by Rios after he didn't run out that popup. Who's more offensive: Dunn, Rios or Kenny Williams for fetching them? "Lazy route" means he didn't get there in time. That was not the case, as he did get there in plenty of time, but as was mentioned, the ball hit off the heel of his glove, for only his 2nd error of the season. That is not the same as him not hustling down the line, which I agree was (or is, if he continues) a problem.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 07:57 PM) That had nothing to do with being lazy, it hit him in the heel of the glove. He has 2 errors the entire season, once in a while a ball is going to bounce out of a mitt. +1

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 07:57 PM) Rios, really? This ball has to be put away with ease. Misjudged it from the beginning, bad route, bad timing, lost sight of it and couldn't correct. What are the odds they DON'T tie the game or take the lead? Plus, Rios can't even be bothered to hustle down the line. Ozzie really needs to bench him for a week just to show him that the game needs to be respected. Ozzie is always so quick to put Beckham or Morel or Viciedo (last year) on the bench, but he won't ever do that to veterans, because he doesn't want to "disrespect" them. I don't know - you tell me.

QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 07:35 PM) hahahahahahahaa "they're gonna wave him in on Juan Pierre's arm...." said with such disdain...I LOVE IT Well, you couple this obvious "disdain" with the "it should be a can of corn" comments, followed by the constant Viciedo updates, and it's pretty obvious what the 'ol Hawkeroo is lobbying for.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 12:00 AM) Yep, lost in the drama of this game is the continued struggles of Pierre. I truly feel like his pink slip day is coming soon, and I would point to maybe after next weekend after the Cubs series?? As for the game, someone elsewhere said to not let losses bother you until this team is .500. Pretty good philosophy I think the combination of Juan not making some sort of amazing turn around before the end of that Cubs' weekend (somewhat unlikely, at this point), coupled with the Viciedo bypassing his year of eligibility for free agency by being brought up so late in the season, makes your prediction of Pierre's demise that much more realistic.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 11:52 PM) I think that was mostly on Teahen. Teahen is just not a good option out there on the field. He really isn't, no matter where you put him. And that's not a good label for a guy whose supposed value is his "versatility" in the field. The error here in this inning is clearly on Alexei, but we all know that a good first baseman probably picks that one. Ugh.

As we approach the half-way point of this season, and with the White Sox obviously still very much within striking distance of taking over the AL Central Division, I'm wondering how much longer it will be before the media really starts taking Guillen & Co. into task for the decision to continue on with Pierre not only at the helm of the line-up, but in the line-up at all. That sort of pressure must be forthcoming sooner rather than later. And when it does, it'll be interesting to see how both OG and KW manage that situation.

QUOTE (Real @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 11:38 PM) caught a break there, can't ask Beckham to pitch in the 17th inning... let's win this s*** Awww, c'mon! Where's yer sense of adventure!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 12:36 PM) Oakland isn't exactly a place with a clean reputation either... Lol - yeah, well, he didn't stay there long, either. He was traded to the Tigers in July of 2002.

QUOTE (Real @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 12:27 PM) its pretty obvious Pena was juicing in texas, that organization seems to be a safe haven for drug use, and not just PEDs... Pena was simply a September call-up for the Rangers in 2001, and that was it for his time in Texas. He was traded to the A's the following January.

How many sensational catches is that for him now so far this year? Like, seven, eight? Well whatever the number is, they've been a real pleasure to watch, not to mention they seem to come at very crucial moments.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 4, 2011 -> 07:56 PM) That might've been the most unhittable pitch I've ever seen in my life. Knee high on the outside edge of the outside corner at a cool 100 MPH? Yeah, I'd say so!

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jun 2, 2011 -> 08:22 AM) That's what I would have guessed, but I didn't remember. Thanks. For s***s and giggles, here's my partial list of possible (probable?) users that played with Hurt, I know I'm forgetting about a million guys, feel free to help: Maggs Caballo Valentin Bo (didn't he admit it?, I can't recall for sure) Albert Belle (rage explained) Rowand Pitchers: Lil' Bulldog, Parque (+others who could never touch the majors without some help) Fatty Wells (just strikes me as a guy who wouldn't hesitate to gain an advantage) When I think of "Lil' Bulldog", I can only think of Greg Hibbard!

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 31, 2011 -> 08:26 PM) Our FO and field managers may be a bit slow at times, but no way Humber performs on this stage against both the Yankees and Red Sox now and dominates them both and goes to the pen. If there was ever anything that was recognized by our FO, it's big game, big stage, big time performances. This start has cemented Humber in the rotation until he pitches his way out of it. Right on the money as usual, Shack!

The Sox just paid Rios and Dunn a LOT of money NOT to either drive in a runner in scoring position or at least move him over a base.
