Are they going to finish this game under water?

[wyo-sox]

Really crappy game to watch.

Seems to me we had some chances to score in this game once Chicago's bullpen was in the game. Just did not get it done.

Farrell has to fix the top of the order. Too many outs up there.

[jung]

Hit and a walk probably earned Ells another month at the top of the lineup.....I don't think it should but it probably will.

[Station 13]

i doubt that, he got maybe 1 week to buy time with Vic injury. Start hitting.

[jung]

Hope you are right Station..actually hope he starts hitting and if he doesn't, hope he gets moved off lead off.

Boo yah!!

 

Not so fun when your teams loses too, huh troll?

Farrell told the press before the game that he was starting to think about it, but would only move him down as a last resort.

Farrell has to realize he's in a tough division, where every win is important. That means no player is special. Ells should have been moved to 9th a week ago. Tito did it in '09, and it worked. Take the pressure off the kid, who is trying to pull everything. And increase their run production, which is hurting right now.

 

You have to wonder about Farrell. He improves the pitching, but he persists in not doing the obvious in the batting order with the team slumping.
