Jose is a better player than Uribe.

Will Greg Walker be the scapegoat? That's what usually happens when the lineup goes anemic. Fire the hitting coach. Looks like Aaron is about washed up. His .214 average is not good enough. As far as the others ... Paulie's .229 is abysmal also. Joe at .220. Lee at .242. Frank just over .250 and Maggs dipping to .289. We are becoming punchless. Hopefully we can stay close to .500, heat up and win the pathetic Central.

Does anybody remember if Oz was a good bunter when he played? Did he put down the sac bunt with aplomb or was he a hack trying to bunt? I can't recall. I know he hardly ever walked. but could Oz put down a sac bunt? That killed us when Sandy couldn't lay down the bunt.

while i in no way am calling for Ozzie's head, i will say that Ozzie, and the offense for that matter, were absolutely f***ing pathetic tonight That's a fair statement in my opinion. This type of game again is why I think that writer's column saying our lineup would be fine without Maggs was such a piece of s***. I blame Sandy more than anybody. Get the frickin bunt down.

Wow, Ozzie completely killed our chances in the 9th. s*** happens. We stunk tonight. Let's win amorrow. The Twins have our number.

he had to leave the bunt on. sandy woulda rolled into a dp

Beltran is destined to be a Yankee or a BoSox. 95 percent Yankee. KEEP MAGGS!

Way to go, Mr. Konerko. Thanks, we needed that.

No offense, but I can't understand why anybody would agree to a trade of Maggs. I can't believe the guy wrote this paragraph: Even without him, the Sox still have five potential 20-home run hitters. Who's to say that Carlos Lee can't put up Ordonez-like numbers in the No. 3 hole — and steal 20-plus bases to boot? Give me a break. Our lineup without Maggs is crippled!!!!!!!

D'Angelo sucks. He is on my f list with poor todd ritchie.

You need to write a letter to Reinsdork and copy it to KW and all the major newspapers. The ballpark should be a safe haven, case closed. Reinsdork will want to know this is going on.

Great responses by both of ya. I still remember my exciting match against Donkey in that trivia contest. Donkey outlasted me. He is a wealth of knowledge. Admit it Donkey ... how did you get all my questions correct???

Is anybody else worried that another ebullient, exuberant, enthusiastic manager, Tony Pena, now is being deemed sort of a clown on the KC talk shows. And that Oz appears to be the Tony realm of managers? Exciting, excitable, peppy, etc? I like Pena and love Oz, but I wonder if it still only boils down to the players. Won't modern day ballplayers pretty much loaf on any coach unless they are the rare breed (Clemenses, Ripkens, Bretts, Fisks) that love to play the game? In other words, do you think Oz is doomed or will he be MOY in the AL?

The pen sounds good. Put him in there pronto.

Munoz sounds intriguing. Give him a shot? Poor D. Wright. Maybe it's time we ship him to another organization. I always liked him, but he seems snakebit with our Sox.

Willie has done fine, but I don't like Willie and Uribe 1-2 in the order. Do you think it's a good 1-2 punch? How bout Willie leadoff as long as he keeps doing well and Lee No. 2?

This lineup has some problems that need to be addressed. --Is everybody in agreement we may need some lefthanded pop in there somewhere?

Rowand and Paulie are starting to make me doubt. But I still love Joe for his late-inning heroics and defense and I tip my cap to Harris thus far for his .300 average.

What did Hawk do to Wimpy?? Just wondering. I had not heard he got him fired or anything, but I am way outta the loop.

How do we get swept by Toronto? Easy ... we ain't THAT good and Dat's baseball, especially on the road.

You said: "I am sure it has nothing to do with Lee's, Konerko's, Crede's and Rowand's selfishness and stupidity..." Have you ever played baseball Bran? Why are they selfish and stupid just because they currently are having problems hitting a baseball thrown at them 90 to 100 mph or bending like a boomerang? p.s. I don't want Griffey. He will get hurt again. SIGN MAGGS!!!!!

Amen Yasny, Great post. People want it all and that is stupid.

I may be wrong, but I hate Willie and Uribe batting 1-2 in our order. I know they didn't cost us the game, but I don't like it.

Oops I meant to say, that line made me chuckle Ol Sox, good line.

Old Sox said: I knew Flash gordon, and Cliff Politte is no Flash Gordon. I ain't giving up on Cliff, but I'd tend to agree. Our pitching coach, who I like, needs to take Cliff under his wing.
