kitekrazy Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 19, 2011 -> 11:53 AM) Adma Dunn got two singles last night. That's not bad except we haven't seen an extra base hit or RBI in awhile. But maybe he is starting to make contact with the ball now adn not the air. I refuse to dislike Adam Dunn like some fans. He could be a real asshole like some athletes are when having poor years but he's willing to talk with the media and seems humble about it.

DetroitSoxDog Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 The SOX refuse to send DUNN to the MINORS for a few weeks to focus on BATTING. The Tigers sent Inge down for 3-4 weeks because he was batting .180. While in the minors he batted .300-.400 and hit many home runs. He came back in last night's Tiger/Cleveland game and hit a home run and double! The SOX cannot continue to jeopardize their pennant chances with too few games remaining. DUNN cannot consistenly be in the lineup!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please read below: QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 17, 2011 -> 06:07 PM) It'd certainly be nice since he brings nothing to the bench, but he'd have to accept a demotion... I think. Where are our capologists? QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 17, 2011 -> 06:47 PM) This has been brought up before and it just isn't possible and/or going to happen QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 18, 2011 -> 08:00 AM) This is true. He would have to accept it. A more realistic scenario is an "injury" coming up of some sort, with a rehab stint. The team isn't going just send him to the minors. Then understand why: QUOTE (oldsox @ Aug 18, 2011 -> 02:42 PM) Dunn's service time prevents Sox from sending him to minors.

soxsoxsoxsox Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 So Dunn forgot how many outs there were, stepped on first base ran to dugout. Then asked about it after the game completely denies it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be best to send Adam Dunn back to the MINORS to concentrate on HITTING and not hurt the team's chances? We've been over this 100,000,000,000,000 times....

Jordan4life_2007 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 f*** Done and this mental crap. All we needed was a f***ing three week stretch of dominance from him at ANY point of the season. With that, we might still be in this thing. Look what Dan Uggla has done. He was just about as bad as Done a month ago and he's turned it around. Done came into this season fat and outta shape because his lard ass got paid. I don't feel sorry for him. No remorse. He's torpedoed this season.

Just a sustained stretch of dominance. He's the biggest failure in White Sox history. The problem is we have to keep thinking about him for 3 more seasons cause until the contract runs out, there's always the chance he reverts to the old Dunn and some diehards will insist he's going to get it back. Hopefully our fans won't bite this winter when we hear all the glowing reports of Dunn getting in shape; Dunn hitting off a tee; Dunn improving. I would hope they won't buy season tickets until Dunn is removed from the roster. How can you pay thousands to watch that guy?? Just seeing him whiff and hit into DPs would have to ruin an otherwise enjoyable ballpark experience. I hate Rios as well, but at least Rios is still hitting over .200. Dunn is an F. Rios' grade is D to D-. Edited August 26, 2011 by greg775 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Dunn should not play again this year he is embarrassing himself. I will have a hard time cheering for him while he wears a White Sox uniform. He adds nothing to this team. Sadly when Konerko went down Teahen may have gotten the starts at 1B. Makes that trade even worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
