balfanman Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 10:23 PM) I'm more worried about Paulie. Someone earlier today said they couldn't remember the last time he had a hit that mattered. I agree with that, he's been turrible in the clutch this year. The Dunn/PK duo is not thrilling my body recently Dunn I have absolutely no faith in. He hits the occaissional home run / walks, but seems to come up with fewer good at bats, when it counts than anyone else, especially for a #3 hitter. Konerko I have heard was hurt, and evidently still is. I don't know what the problem is and evidently he can play through it, but really needs to get well. Our #3 - 4 hitters are pretty bad right now. I really hope that neither one of them plays in the All Star game, and just rests. If it wasn't for Youkilis, instead of a 5 - 1 homestand, we would of probably had a 2 - 4 homestand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I'm hoping De Aza, Dunn and Tank can get back on track - those guys have slipped a lot over the last month. Especially Dunn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) QUOTE (RME JICO @ Jul 9, 2012 -> 01:15 AM) In one word: Entertaining Constants: PK and Thornton Welcome Back: Peavy, Rios and Dunn Pleasant Surprises: AJ, De Aza, and Tank Youk: Youk Almost There: Alexei, Beckham, Floyd Young Guns: Sale, Quintana, Reed, Jones, Santiago, etc Addition by Subtraction: Ohman, Stewart, Fukudome Great post. Did anybody pick up Fuko? DeAza may be my new favorite Sox player. My grades 3B - Youk, A SS - Lexi C 2B - Beckham C 1B - Paulie A C - AJ A LF - Tank B CF - DeAza B RF Rios A DH - Dunn A- Pitchers: Sale A, Humber C (for a guy who pitched a perfect game), Danks (Inc), Floyd C, Peavy (A), Q (B), Thornton (B-), Reed (A), Crain (C to C-), Nate (B), I'm sure I'm forgetting some guys. Robin (A) We have a lot of guys having good seasons when you think about it. Hopefully the team is ready to kick some ass in the Cell after last homestand to go with the steady road play.

LittleHurt05 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 If I told you in March that... -the Sox starters before/after the AS break would be Dylan Axelrod & Jose Quintana -Axelrod would be relieved in that game by Omogrosso, Septimo, Jones, & Santiago -Dunn was hitting .208 -KW picked up two old, "washed-up" veterans to play 3B -two of the Sox original starters have ERAs upward of 5.70 How many of you would have the Sox in 1st place at this point? Amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joxer_Daly Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 As a newcomer, I'm delighted with where we are at the moment. And Youk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatScott82 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 This team has been fun to watch. The chemistry is there for sure. Robin is doing such a great job with this bunch. If Floyd, Beckham and Ramirez can get going- this team has the make up to be scary good. And who is this Rios guy? The man is playing like he is possessed!

RZZZA Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 We swept the Rangers and won a series against the Blue Jays, but unfortunately that was only worth moving up 1 spot in ESPN's power rankings http://espn.go.com/mlb/powerrankings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVSoxFan Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 ESPN can suck it. When they're not busy fellating the BoSox or Yankees, they look at the central and only see the Tigers. Which honestly is fine with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more abut indifference than hate. One analyst will do a superficial summary of the Sox and thousands will repeat it enough to make it seem true. Seriously, unless everything that could possibly go wrong with the Sox went wrong, no one with a brain would predict 67-95. But one dope made this prediction and everyone else fell in line.
