Dunn and Konerko slumping the past two weeks=Sox slumping. It's really that easy.

Good teams have different guys leading the team to victory on an almost daily basis.

So Beckham, Youkillis, A.J., Rios, Viciedo and Ramirez combined are incapable of leading the team to wins? It's all on the shoulders of Dunn& Konerko? If so, they can't win the division. Good teams have different guys leading the team to victory on an almost daily basis.

Its the attendance.

Yeah. The 35K that were there in St Louis and the 40-50K that where there in LA really hurt....

Fuck, you're stupid.

The real answer is that there's nothing wrong with the offense. The truth is the Sox are fifth in the AL in runs scored and probably only one team is going to break 800 runs this season. I wouldn't start making wholesale changes because they got shut out a couple times. This isn't 1999.

Dunn is having a vastly improved year, but recently has gone into a funk. Rios is enjoying a nice season and continuing on his, every other year is good-trend, Peavy has been mostly good (not so much in his last start though) and has stayed healthy....knock on wood quickly. So the most disappointing parts of the team have rebounded and got them into 1st place. But as of late, the offense has stalled. The Sox have dropped games where the starter went 8 or 9 innings and gave up nothing, or as little as 2 runs, in recent weeks. With Quintana taking over Danks' spot in the rotation nicely, you would think the team would be rolling. Konerko is having another good year, Beckham has improved his average over the last 6 weeks and looking good. Now they get Youkilis and yet they lose their 6th series out of the last 7, with this series loss to the Twins. What the heck?? Just can't get the timely hits? Too many good hitters to see how they would struggle this badly to score runs. Oh, but what the hell has happened to Alexei ?? He is awful this year. It used to be just during the early season in the cold weather. But it's been warm since May and he's been awful.
