***CHICAGO WHITE SOX***

Ventura has no clue how to handle a pitching staff. Will this organization EVER realize that Thornton isn't a closer??

Detroit stole one last night. Sox stole one today. Dunn hit the shit out of that ball. Even better that it came against that obnoxious asshole Valverde.

Pleasantly surprised by Peavy, Dunn, and Rios. I don't know what the hell this team is doing with Chris Sale. First he's a starter, then a closer, he may go back to the rotation and now he needs an MRI. But they claim he isn't hurt....WTF?? Also, when you have 4 regulars hitting .220 or lower (Beckham, Morel, Viciedo, Ramirez), it's tough to win games. Lucky to be only 15-17 at this point.

Beckham has been hitting decent the last couple of weeks. could his two year slump be over?

i'm not suprised by Dunn or Rios playing well. if you look at their career numbers, they pointed to last year beign a fluke.

while peavy has pitched well, his motion just doesn't look right. too much upper body explosion to stay healthy long term. hope i'm wrong tho.

Sale is weird. might be the next Wood.

True. Beckham has went from .180 to .220. Hopefully he has figured it out, but I won't hold my breath.

We'll see about Peavy. He has been nasty so far this year.

The way the Sox are handling this thing with Sale is weird. It sure seems like Cooper is making decisions over there and not Ventura. I thought the circus was over with Ozzie out of town.

none of that makes sense. just read a couple of articles on the trib about it. they seem clueless. if the elbow is fine post MRI, put him back in the starter role and monitor him closely. limit pitch counts if need be...skip a start here and there.. but you can't shuffle him back and forth.

Yeah it's pretty ridiculous. Don't know what the hell is going on. If the guy is hurt, he is hurt. Put him on the DL. I don't see what difference moving him to the bullpen would make if he is having elbow issues. :fp:

happens all the time. take Kerry Wood as the prime example of a pitcher with arm troubles that could start, but can't because of it.

100% agree they should have done the mri last week if they thought it was a real issue

SPEEDY MCCREADY

Safe to say...

Adam Dunn has already wrapped up "Comeback Player Of The Year"

Im happy for the guy....

I know...what a fucking joke that is. And then they fly back from Anaheim for a day game on Friday. So brutal.
