Yeah, but now people want AJ moved up, blah blah. It never ends. I

Why are we lucky to have Teahen at third? He ain't very good.

Do all fanbases dissect the lineup on a daily basis like Sox fans do? Does it really matter who bats where that much? The way I see it as long as Pierre is ninth, that's all I want. Don't understand the obsession.

My god, I just read about the game. This gamethread had to be murderous. With Linebrink sucking ... Omar leading off ... and Kotsay and AJ getting big hits? Musta been a wild one. I ain't gonna go back and read it.

I say the same thing when talking about several other guys in our lineup. Why not add another?

Isn't Pierre under contract 2 years? 4 mill a year? If true how f***ing stupid is that? Of course I'd rather have Pods.

Maybe, but I hope you don't think he's actually a good hitter, run producer. He's not. I'd stick Beckham there.

That's true, but stats don't really matter in this case. He had so many runs to work with and he finished the game with us up on top. Leave the criticism for when we lose the darn game is how I look at it.

What am I missing here. We won the f***ing game today. And he finished the game. Who the f*** cares if he gave up a few runs or whatever. He had 4 runs to work with and gave up what, two? I don't understand the b****ing on here when we f***ing win the game.

Isn't the organization currently in love with Buddy Bell? He'd be the new skipper and would make not a bit of difference in our play. Why not sit back and let this play out until the all star break when KW can start rebuilding the team? Why the f*** would you fire Ozzie right now? And KW is going nowhere right now either. It'll be Ozzie fired or nobody fired and it would be dumb to fire Ozzie.

Pierre is Dwayne Wise, only paid about 10 times as much. Maybe worse than Wise. I liked Wise. Bat him ninth forevermore, please. We can stomach him at ninth maybe. I don't care who leads off as long as it's not Juan ever again.

We got three in the seventh, one in eighth and two in ninth. Why can't we score like that on a moderately consistent basis?

Nice come from behind win. We are 9-13. Still not good. Better than 8-14.

Bpbby needs to field that.

We're still gonna win. Relax.

It might be his contract year, but he's been pretty darn consistent in his Sox career. That one bad stretch where a lot of people on here wanted him out of town two seasons ago. Paulie has been great for a long time.

You should never chew out a little leaguer. Only praise them and give them ninth place trophies.

This Sox team would be OK if it played in the 1960s. Oh I take that back. The defense isn't good enough to win games in the 60s.

I don't know. I think Jerry will be tempted to drop anybody making a good buck after the all star break, though. I think it's just grin and bear it at least until the all star break and try to enjoy it for what it is. Teams historically don't make trades this early. You could fire Oz, but that seems kind of harsh. I'd grin and bear it, follow the Hawks, and fire nobody for now.

That's true, but you wait: The Sox will come up with some cheap seat or parking promotions this season before it's over. They'll have to. I just think at this point it's worth it to criticize every little thing in a Blackhawks game cause that team really has a chance and it's worth geting worked up about. This lousy Sox team has absolutely no chance unless the staff gives up 1-2 runs a night the rest of the year. That would take starters going into the eighth inning every night giving up 1-2 runs max and that ain't gonna happen either. So enjoy the games for what they are.

Our new motto should be the Royals' motto the last 20 years: "We stink. So what?" Royals fans, the 15,000 who go every night have learned to enjoy the cheap promotions and the experience cause the team sucks. It is a huge bonus if they win. That's how I see our team this year. The team to freak out about is the Blackhawks. They have a chance. A real chance.

It's baseball, the best sport on earth. We have a mediocre team at best. We're already six or seven games out. Why not enjoy the games at least? The alternative is to b**** every single day pretty much.

Why all the negativity in the game thread?

I think the tone of the story makes it obvious he wants the players to feel no pressure. Why Beckham is feeling pressure is beyond me. These guys just can't relax and play ball I guess.

I applaud the positivity.
