The problem is we draw so few fans the players can hear each boo individually. I don't blame Mark B. He's like the average worker who never gets praised when he does well by his bosses and takes mega s*** when he fails. That condition of humankind does suck. A lot of his tremendous victories the past couple years in his mind were taken grant of, but I feel I can speak for most of us in saying we respected each and every one of those outings. Mark B had me shaking my head the past two years as he piled up victory after victory. I agree with Yasny that he doesn't deserve boos at this time.

If I come back home this summer to chicago I'll have to ask you guys if you have any freebies. There could be lotsa freebies rolling around in late July, early Aug. when I'll probably be back.

Technically this is a come from behind win and those are always nice, right? We'll take it.

Jerry (Reinsdork) is the idiot, but how can we argue with leaving in Colon. He's been finishing games.

I don't blame him for being frustrated at booing. It sounds like that's it ... the booing. It's obvious we're going to run him out of town now and he'll excel somewhere else. They'll probably boo him when he has a bad inning in his new city, too, but that's besides the point.

Tough tough loss. But it's simple, right? A good team beat a bad team tonight.

Very good point. The Cubbies might no hit us. We ain't gonna beat those pitchers.

He might be one of those guys we have to keep forever in case he turns into Clemens. He sure has some good outings spliced with the abysmal.

Who'd a thunk it? He's well on his way to 20 losses. I haven't seen many games on TV. What's the problem? Why's he losing every time out? Is it him or our s*** team behind him?

I agree no way we are gonna finish 18 over .500. With our hitting and defense I'd say five over .500 would be a miracle. I was just wondering if it was possible we were gonna start hitting. Then all bets would be off.

Good points soxchick. My only hope is somehow we've begun to hit. Do you concede that it's possible we might pull our heads out and hit like we were supposed to on paper? Cause you gotta admit if we can get nine to 11 hits a night, with our pitching, we'll probably at least play .550 ball. Our defense is not too spiffy so without hitting we are dead meat.

Olivo's basically playing every day ain't he? I like that.

Maybe this makes up for that deal where KW thought he was acquiring one player and acquired some other hoser with the same name. I'd like to see him hit 33 homers in the bigs like he did in that minor league season you posted.

Nine hits is a lot better than five. We win again. Sounds like Garland pitched well. Did he?

Odds are we will revert back to our old ways, but it'd be nice to somehow score 7-10 again and show some signs of life.

Is Aaron running out of chances? Is this gonna be it for him?

I agree we should sign him for three years. I mean our hitting sucks this year; if we let pitchers go, our pitching could suck next year. It's a vicious circle. Keep the good players and trade prospects for veteran players.

I thought Frank's attitude this year has been great since reading that column by Couch in the Sun Times where it talked about Frank being friendly again. I root for Frank. It's especially nice when he's not making selfish quotes as in the past. Paulie is just sucking pure and simple. I still like him but when's he gonna hit.

I'm all for keeping our rare players who are kicking serious ass. Let's wait until we get a new GM before we make any more trades.

Think Joe is another guy we won't be able to develop? Don't jump on me, just asking. I sort of like Joe but .185 isn't too spiffy.

No time tonight, working on connecticut ad story of him coming to kansas. But I wanted to post and say nice job Sox. 10 runs is baffling, but shows we may be capable of something, right?? Or do we still suck?

Four hits vs. the Dodgers. Way to swing those bats, boys! I hope the reports are true from that radio station that Manuel is gone by the end of this trip. He isn't the whole problem of course but it will be nice to get him the hell off the bench. Hopefully when he's canned he'll blast Kenny Williams.

Is Paul Konerko unable to hit the ball to the right side? Just asking. If the guy would use the whole field maybe he'd be hitting better than a buck ninety. I used to love this guy and it's hard for me to hate him, but geez.

where have you gone, Greg Norton and Mike Squires? great line. I love this message board.

I hope we keep Colon, also. We have David Wells one year, get rid of him for money reasons and he all of a sudden gets good again with the Yanks. That's why I say we are hexed. Colon is going to excel for years to come, so why only keep him one year?? Keep him.
