After awhile people get tired of hearing how guys hitting .165 are really good. I feel bad for the fans who don't have a better postgame host.

I imagine he thinks Pierre is good at baseball. So, therefore, you should like him.

Isn't Pierre hitting .320 since the All Star Break? At least he's not a total flop like Dunn/Rios. He is certainly limited but does bring something to the table and the guy busts his ass every fucking day unlike many professional athletes.

I would call him "just a guy". You always want better, but he's okay. You're supposed to be able to live with a guy in left who has no power but can hit around .290 and has some speed when the heart of your order is Quentin, Konerko, Rios, and Dunn. But when Dunn and Rios have 18 homers between them in mid-August, that powerless leftfielder becomes problematic. Especially when you're getting little production at third.

Therein lies the problem, the lack of production at other positions. If Dunn and Rios were worth a shit, Pierre would be an asset.

It is the best. Caller after caller, just wanting to crap all over Ranger!

Sox fans just wanting to beat the hell out of Ranger.

the ranger is a big phony, he will try to put a positive spin on anything white sox related to keep that crappy job..he is a homer and a sox apologist..too bad the guy does not have the balls to just call it what it is.

I don't know if he's a phony, but his approach is the source of all his problems with callers. That's why it's absurd when morons like B&b say stupid shit like how they feel sorry for him. He causes his own problems by bending over backward to discuss the Sox in the most positive light. Most Sox fans don't want to hear that after a tough loss. A real Sox fan could commiserate. He just isn't one. And that's the difference between him and Doug and O'B. Those guys really hurt and they're really angry after a Bear loss. The fans can identify with that. Yeah, angry Sox callers say some dumb stuff in the aftermath of bad baseball. Doug and O'B say some dumb stuff too. That's what fans do.

Some Sox fans have been really weird this year, yes this team is frustrating but its like people want to focus on the negatives rather than the fact that the Sox have remained competitive with some unbelievably fluky shit happening. NOBODY could have seen Dunn's struggles coming. .

Don't understand why its so hard to understand why a guy who's livelihood is dependent on having good relationships with a team might try to be positive about a team that has been looking very good since the All-Star break. Its not like he is saying that they will win the division for sure and he has criticized Dunn and Rios frequently as well. He is not Zach Zaidman or Cubs and Blackhawks beat writer bad.

Some Sox fans have been really weird this year, yes this team is frustrating but its like people want to focus on the negatives rather than the fact that the Sox have remained competitive with some unbelievably fluky shit happening. NOBODY could have seen Dunn's struggles coming. ALL Sox fans were very excited about his signing. No way Dunn stays this bad for the rest of his contract here. I wouldn't be surprised if he starts picking it up at the end of the year. The Sox have stuck in their because the pitching has been fucking great and the offense has been good enough.

Now I can be a huge negative nelly about the Bears. I do this because the organization has made mistake after mistake. How long has the offensive line been terrible? Way too long. At least the Sox attempt to improve the team, but its not going to work out every single year.

As for JP, I have to admit he has had a great second half. He is still way overvalued just like the concept of the leadoff hitter (only does that one time a game) but he has improved big time. Especially on the defensive side of the game.

The most recent wisdom from Ranger: The problem with the Sox is that they (a) haven't hit enough homers and (b) have left too many men on base. And he said it as if the two things were totally unrelated and completely divorced from each other.

Let me explain it. Men on first and second and nobody out. There are three chances for a guy to hit one out and leave no runners on. When Tyler Flowers is ordered to bunt (Forget the fact that he is incapable of doing so. It's a bad idea if Brett Butler is at the plate.), you have effectively eliminated one-third of your chances for that bases-clearing homerun. It isn't tough to figure out.

Its tough to hit homers when you are under orders to bunt.
