  1. I will say whoever made the decision to pitch Rondon in a 6-1 game the other night (Ricky or Coop) should be fired immediately. That's a mockery of the game of baseball. We can't come back from five down at home?? Sometimes I think Ricky has this team overachieving then that happened to anger me.
  2. Tim has drawn two walks this series which is good. I love Timmy Anderson and think he'll be an all star this season.
  3. It's easy, folks. Find the scouts who recommended Fulmer and you fire them. Is it that difficult?
  4. It's very risky to buy a Sox ticket. You don't know which Sox you are going to get. One thing is for sure. We pissed the Red Sox off with the walk off and they've beat our ass the last 2 games with an automatic win Sunday. Bet the HOUSE on Boston and the over. Make some dough on what figures to be an automatic L.
  5. Don't worry. As long as greg isn't banned Abreu will have a LOUD supporter on here to try to nullify any hate.
  6. Damn in 3 years Tim Anderson will be quite the veteran player.
  7. That's why I despise the draft and tanking for baseball's draft. What a joke.
  8. Abreu has 32 RBI which is pretty damn solid. Poor guy can't play on a contender.
  9. That was a bad game. Can't complain after last night, though. Also, Boston's active payroll is 165 million; Chicago's is 78 million.
  10. On a lighter note, I'd encourage you to watch Machado on his homer against Kershaw tonight. He broke all the unwritten rules. I wonder if the Dodgers will hit somebody in the series. When he crossed the plate he did a whole dance act with hand signals/gestures with not one, but two teammates. Definitely worst than what Timmy did. Wonder if the Dodgers are mad or not. You know if you hit Manny he's coming out to the mound.
  11. I'm out. Not in the mood to see us try to hit Sale. Hopefully my absence will again help us rally.
  12. Stone is so good an analyst with Bennetti. I bet deep down he's so happy he doesn't have to try to get along with Hawk, who some games was OK later in his career, others very crabby.

    I hope everybody is proud of me for not writing 11 paragraphs explaining all the reasons I love Ozzeroo.
  14. I worship Tim but he has only two walks all season. His batting average will eventually suffer cause of his swinging at everything. He is who he is but a free swinger like TA is going to ultimately suffer.
  15. Anybody else concerned about a Sale no hitter?
  16. There's got to be some reason pitchers are so brittle. I was just pointing out that if I'm a pitching coach I get out the Buehrle tapes for a lefty and Fergie Jenkins tapes for a righty. Fluid, baby.
  17. Different guys contributing to these victories which is always nice for team morale. McCann, Delmonico tonight. Love seeing the look on the young kid in the Red Sox jersey briefly in the shot when Nicky got all of it. I don't want to continue being that guy who praises the team when we win and expresses total angst and anger when we lose, but I am who I am. As for tonight, color me impressed. To stick it to Boston in the ninth and walk it off ... it gets no better than that. You know the whole city of Boston is fricking pissed.
  18. I hope so. His pitching is not impressing me. Again, it is a cold night.
  19. Gio appears to have reduced velocity. Is this true? The eye test is not doing Gio any favors. He appears blah to me. Maybe it's the weather. Hard to have a moving fastball in cold? His fastball screams hit me.
  20. This will be it for Covey. He'll be DFA after this stint. You can only stand so much. Ask Phil Humber.
  21. If I were the Sox, I'd demand every lefty pitcher copy Mark Buehrle and his fluid pitching motion as well as pace of pitching. Fast. For a righty? I'd demand they look up tapes of Ferguson Jenkins and his fluid pitching motion as well as pace of pitching. Fast. There has to be a way to cut down on all these arm injuries.
  22. I'm just so confounded by all the pitcher surgeries. I can't really get excited about any pitching prospect anymore because of this. I guess there are some freaks of nature out there still but it's just a matter of time for starting pitchers. Look ... all college pitchers who are drafted should IMMEDIATELY be in the big leagues. Why waste those pitches in the minors??? A pitcher has only so many pitches before surgery. You tell me they need seasoning? Yeah right. The NBA is playing guys who should be sophomores in college. Just pitch the good ones in the bigs immediately. Cause the clock is ticking on all of them regarding surgery.
  23. I'm a reasonable person so I probably need to change my opinion of McCann. Nice HR McCann and nice job so far as a Sox.

    I did get upset at the end regarding his Sunday lineups. Felt like we were conceding Sunday games a lotta times. The sight of Ozzie bringing the lineup card to home plate on a sunny day makes me smile though. Ozzie is White Sox thru and thru.

    Of course. I can't think of anybody I'd want more except Gardy, Girardi, LaRussa or Leyland. do think he'd have to sign some document indicating he is fired immediately if a committee of three (pick three guys who would be fair like Konerko, Stone, Baines) unanimously ruled that any of his statements were improper as in racist, sexist, too political, etc). If he speaks out of line, the committee of three makes the decision on whether he's fired. If he's fired, his bench coach (Omar Vizquel) is promoted.
