I like how so many people are acting like Bernstein was the only one who thought Adam Dunn was going to be good. I certainly didn't expect him to play this bad, I doubt very few if any did. I certainly didn't think it would be this difficult for him to adjust and I doubt you did either. Almost every Sox fan (everyone I talked to) was very excited for this team at the start of the season. Its fine to be upset, I am. But if anyone saw this coming they should look into getting a job in baseball.

We've got all these baseball geniuses coming out of the woodwork. Blaming Kenny Williams for putting this team together, Ozzie Guillen for playing them, Walker for not making em hit.

Its all on the players.

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

Woah dude. I'm not saying I had a problem with what Bernstein said at the beginning of the year. My issue is with the guy saying this week that "He'll hit his numbers". He'll have to have a career year for the remainder of the year to make those numbers. It's not going to happen. He won't make his numbers. That kind of talk at the beginning of June is bullshit. You can get away with that in late April or early May with a bad start, but not anymore.

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

I don't think this is 'all on the players'. Ozzie has a hand in this. He sticks with his veterans too long and pulls the plug on young players too soon. A manager needs to put his players in a position to succeed and Ozzie has been pushing the wrong buttons all year.

That wasn't just aimed at you, so many people are doing this. He is probably not going to post as good of numbers as he has been lately, however he is nowhere near this bad. Its not going to be that hard to end the year hitting .250 which is what he does. We all know he strikes out alot, the problem is he isn't offsetting it with home runs.

Its all mental for him right now, he has to get himself out of it. I think Ozzie needs to keep him down around seven.

No manager is perfect, including Ozzie. I don't think he has had all that bad of a year this year. There is nothing he could do to fix this team. He is doing what he is supposed to be doing and trying different things thats all we can ask for.

The bunting drives me nuts, putting McPherson out was dumb... but again its all on the players. They just are not executing when they need too.

I rarely troll.

The series against the Indians is a perfect example of how Ozzie isn't putting his players in a position to succeed. Game 1 against Justin Masterson who is death on righties (.148 BA against) and Ozzie plays Beckham who strikes out 3 times. The next night Fausto Carmona is pitching who Beckham is 4-9 against and Ozzie sits him. He should have sat him against Masterson and played him against Carmona but Ozzie doesn't put his guys in a position to succeed.

It's not all on the players.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

Look at the bright side only have to past 10 teams for the wildcard

I would cover for SHARK, Drop In, Dave in Champaign, my Mom, and Urlacher's Missing Neck. After that, the list gets pretty thin. There are a few people about whom I would definitely fabricate charges.

He shouldn't play for the rest of this road trip unless forced into a game with extra innings or injury.

He is absolutely killing the team right now, and, yes, I do expect him to eventually hit, and, although the only way to get out of the slump is to be in the lineup, but enough is enough. He is awful, and the White Sox aren't good enough to overcome a guy striking out 2 or 3 times a game with men on base in crucial situations.

DH Quentin and Konerko on a rotating basis for the next few games, use Lllibridge in RF, whatever. Just no more Dunn on this road trip.

They have to pass 10 former teams to get the wild card? I hear the Expo have a team this year. Although I heard that from Gary in Evanston.

How is he supposed to get out of it if he doesn't hit? Not going to happen. He should just stay at 7th. In this series he has at least 2 RBIs. He is not "killing" the team. He is not the only player that is not driving in runs.

There is no single scapegoat. It was Juan Pierre, now its Adam Dunn.

Thorton hurt the team more than anyone today. He cost us the game. We had the lead and he couldn't get fucking Corey Patterson out.

Sox schedule is really easy in June and July. Our hard part of the schedule is almost over. White Sox schedule is always a fucking joke.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

The fucking schedule has not a fucking thing to do with playing horseshit baseball.

Adam Dunn has been one of many reasons the Sox have struggled. His production, or lack thereof, is scrutinized because of the money he was paid. As I've said before if he was hitting .240-.260 with 10-15HR and an OBP of .370 you could live with his strikeouts.


I don't think he'll hit under .200 for the year but it probably won't matter if he gets his numbers if the Sox aren't in contention.
