Great way to bounce back by Jon today... There's no way you leave him out there for the ninth with 119 pitches thrown, even that is excessive to me. That's Dusty Baker style managing. Josh beckett was pretty much on a pitch count all year last year, and almost never threw over 100 pitches while in the minors. What happened? In October, the kid was MVP. The Cheat started JG in 2 of his fantasy leagues.

What has that f*** done do deserve a start over rowand... Here'swhat I wrote in another thread about his lone AB yesterday.

Old and Busted: One gamethread - created just prior to game Teh New Hotness: Multiple gamethreads - created days, weeks, even months in advance.

Just to add to Brado's post... Valentine has shown me that he should still be removed if against lefties, I don't think he can even approach his vaunted .150 career average against them. the Timo Perez AB was terrible... Actually I don't so much remember the AB -- It could have been a 25 pitch struggle(although I know it wasn't) -- He hit a Sharp? combacker to vasquez... He took a few steps down the first, trotting, with his batt in hand... Never made it to first, Never dropped the bat. It was his first action of the season and as far as I'm concerned it should be his last... If ozzie is going to do all he said he was goin to do, Timo should have been ripped a new asshole in between innings and Gload should have headed out to the field.

Last year we were complaining about our tough schedule after the break... This year, maybe all we have to do is hang around, and make a run late.

Crimson, I saw maybe 5 minutes of Dersowitz' presentation, and all I have to say is there is no way that guy would be representing me at trial.... I only caught about 5 minutes it but his weak ass argument was what mad me flip the channel.

How about.... (vs RHP) Valentin (2003 OBP close to .350 against righties) Lee (hits them better than lefties for some reason) Maggs Hurt Konerko Crede Alomar (hit them better than lefties as well) Rowand Uribe (vs LHP) Rowand (hits lefties, can run a little) Olivo (ditto....should see more fastball mistakes in front of boppers) Maggs Thomas Lee.247, .700 OPS over last 3 years vs. LHP Valentin Konerko.325, .966 OPS over last 3 seasons vs. LHP Crede Uribe What kind of preotection does Lee give Frank, the most feared hitter in baseball vs. LHP, ?

Anyone notice anything funny going on there.

Rowand has batted .279 with a OBP of .311 in 43 career AB's in the #1 spot. While stealing 5 bases in 7 career attempts.

:blowjob:

The length is fine but it should be wuch wider so you have to scroll to read long paragraphs... all you have to do is write son text under your pic like this... White Sox in 2004!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I nominate Aaron Rowand for the #2 hole... Jose's stats -- Last three years.. Carlos' -- Last three years... Aaron's -- Last three years...

sure... willie gets on base by any means necessary (HBP could be his best option) he then causes vasquez to concentrate on his position instead of Jose at the plate, this could result in vasquez accidentaly hitting joses bat. If nothing else it takes three pitches to strike out, and willie could steal second, and maybe third before Joses walks back to the bench.... where he's ready to be driven in by maggs or frank...

I know it's only been three games, but there was a ton of questions marks surrounding the top of the order before the season, and over the first three games, none have been answered... -Willie Harris has been on base once in 2 games... .111OBP -Jose has looked down right stupid vs. lefties. -- 0-for-6, 6K's -In three games, Maggs has come to the plate with the bases empty in all three first innings. -The 1 and 2 spots have combined for a .080 avg and an OBP of .120 It looks to me that this is the weakest part of the sox game, not the bullpen, or starting rotation... Am I the only one who see's this lineup an extremely pressing problem??

I've got to agree with you here.... I had missed much of the last two games staring at a this damn computer screen the last two days... So I made sure I watched every pitch today... Here's my impression... -Shoe escaped today with a decent line -maggs and crede saved him today -He was getting hit hard everytime he got near the zone -He could be successful this season -- but he looked a ways off -The line doesn't show it with a swinging bunt, sac fly, and solo home run -- but if he pitches the way he did today, show will have an ERA above 6 -Jose has looked really stupid far more than he has looked comfortable at the plate this season -Frank's batting eye has been impecable this season -- He really got sqeezed by that bad call in the ninth -The team as a whole is in trouble with the top of the order the way that it is currently... Willie/Uribe haven't gotten on base, and jose has had trouble makeing contact behind them. -- This lineup is a recipe for disaster.

In the past 5 minutes tonight conan has had on .... 2 craftmatic adjustable beds having sex, and then he shoved some little know characters through a "mulcher"... Comedy Gold.

This just in: Vlad is no longer with the Expos... Also the Yankees continue to use the Expos as thier farm system... They gained the rights to Nick Johson, Vidro, Armas Jr., and Livan Hernandez in exchange for Drew henson's used razor (he left it behind), a half stick of juicy fruit, Alfonso sorianos fake documents, and 1983 primer grey Yugo. The deal will not be complete until the Yugo can pass emissions tests, which should be before game time. Drew Henson's razor will fill an immediate hole in right field, the Juicy fruit should be an asset to the 'spos pen this year, but the others are prospects and probably a couple years off.

I can slow it down, but there's going to be no way I can get that text changed... That would require a few hours of tedious pixel-by-pixel manipulation.

I don't know I didn't click it.

Thanks for the legwork willie... I was confident going into this series until I saw our limitted experience vs. the first three starters.... We all know how well we crush pitching that we haven't seen before....

I almost clicked that damn link....

That score is made worse by the fact that NY got their azzes kicked yesterday by Indy. It's not like NY is a top team in the league.

Shuf -- I can slow it down when I get home.... I'm in a computer lab now.

I called the early start of this thread 4 hours ago... I just expected it a little sooner.

I wold say that Konerko should retain most of his stolen Base threat. Even if it does slow him down a little, he's got speed to burn.
