QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 3, 2008 -> 12:47 PM) I hate Jim Thome. There, I've said it again. It has nothing to do with him, he'll get his stats but he's not a winner. I f***ing hate "sluggers". Give me hitters who can also hit for power. Guys like Adam Dunn, Jim Thome are losers plain and simple. They don't know how to truly hit and because of that it is all "hit" or "miss" with them. I still say the offense has a lot of the tools, it just needs a bit of a tweaking (ie move Thome or Konerko and make some adjustments and try to get yourself a legit leadoff hitter so you can move Swisher down in the lineup). I'm with you and everyone else who agreed on the subject. Good guy, but too one dimensional. I remember him with Cleveland and every time he came up in the 8th or 9th, he did something awesome. With us, nothing.

Sweet, now we can have a bunch of guys come up and try and hit 5 run homers.

I'm calling Grand Slam.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 3, 2008 -> 01:36 PM) Bunting down 2? Are you freaking serious! Swisher continues his decent to the mendoza line. I kind of hope he was bunting for a hit or did it on his own, cuz we can't afford to give away outs down by 2.

Love watching on Gameday and seeing 2 pitch ABs.

I don't care about age or whatever, but whoever says they would take Konerko over Derek Lee right now, needs their head examined.

"That's all we got, One God damn hit?"

QUOTE (flavum @ May 3, 2008 -> 10:34 AM) Josh Fields isn't in the lineup for Charlotte today. If the Sox don't have to use the bullpoen too much today, I'd like to see if they could swap Russell for Fields tomorrow to give Crede a day off against Halladay. Charlotte is playing in Buffalo, so it would very doable logistically. Our next call up has to be either Richar or Owens for Russell/Ramirez. Gotta have a lefty off the bench.

Wouldn't of minded Ozuna in the lead off spot, Swish 2nd, OC 9th.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 3, 2008 -> 10:49 AM) They should make movie theaters with walls made of lead that are 4 ft thick. Perhaps that would block all cell phone signals. Without a doubt. I even hate when a guy two rows in front of me opens his phone to check the time. Like nobody is going to notice this big bright light besides the screen in a dark room.

I'm sick of sharing by b-day thread with these two hacks every year. Thanks all. I'm almost as old as Steff...I mean young, I mean...oh hell, not like she posts here anymore.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 3, 2008 -> 08:22 AM) I highly doubt that Atlanta will pull it out but dayum that'd be pretty sweet. Hell no. I am far from a Boston fan, but Atlanta is a bunch of goons. I don't want a team like that playing in the next round. At least Golden State last year just flat out out played Dallas.

Pujols is gonna walk off and break their hearts or watch Soriano screw up and cost the game.

I thought Ball 3 to Fontenot looked pretty good.

Izzy worrying about Lee too much. Watch Fontenot hit a gapper.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 2, 2008 -> 10:01 PM) That's what you get for throwing an inside fastball to Reed Johnson. Please. Throw one out and over the plate and he could just as easily hit a single. Ball wasn't that far inside.

I can't believe what I just saw.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 2, 2008 -> 08:12 PM) Jermaine Dye with 3 of his worst games ever in a Sox uniform. No clue what he was waving at on that last K.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 2, 2008 -> 06:38 PM) I made this remark earlier in the season, but Lou is managing with a severe case of urgency. He's going to burn out their bullpen. Rich Hill has pitched with 10 days rest and now 9 days rest. Forget being rested, how does a guy get in any groove like that? No routine.

The dude behind home plate with the Raptors shirt scares me.

That was awesome by Mark.

No.

QUOTE (jackie hayes @ May 2, 2008 -> 01:52 PM) Yovani Gallardo has a torn ACL. I think I'm going to cry. The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that Yovani Gallardo has a torn ACL. An examination of Gallardo in Milwaukee on Friday morning revealed the injury, which Gallardo suffered in a collision with Reed Johnson on Thursday. The team will wait until swelling subsides to determine if he needs surgery, but there's a good chance he'll miss the rest of the season. Dave Bush will be recalled and replace him in the rotation. May. 2 - 2:34 pm et That sucks the big one.

I am starting to think that Jin didn't die and that people were just left behind. When the Oceanic 6 got rescued, they may have told everyone that everyone else died to cover up the island or something. I do think whatever Kate is doing has to do with Sawyer's kid. It's the only favor I could see Sawyer asking Kate for. Jack's life on the main land sure does suck. He can help other people but not himself. Trust issues much? CLAIRE???

"Legal Custodians" looks like a winner.
