QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 02:32 PM) Anyone know the last time the Sox didn't have a hitter with 100 RBIs? 2007, Thome led the team with 96.

My god, Lou Piniella takes about a year to get out of the dugout.

Goddamit. Now I have to watch again, only to be disappointed.

Since the Sox game is over, at least Marmol is making the Cubs game interesting. 2 on, no out. 3-2 Cubs, bottom of 8. Let's go Reds!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 02:25 PM) Oh boy...you can just laugh now. Ozzie's got to be loving this. But he is the guy I am least worried about. He will have it click eventually. He has talent and baseball sense unlike most of his teammates.

KW is probably livid, but really has no one to blame but himself.

Time for my new favorite team the rest of the year to be whoever is playing the Cubs.

Haha. Hawk got excited and it was about 5 feet away.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 02:07 PM) Carlos Lee hit a home run his first game, correct? First pitch I think, too.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 02:03 PM) For us you mean? Forever and a day I do have a faint recollection of Olivo having a great day in Yankee Stadium in his debut. Hit a bomb first pitch I think.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 02:00 PM) That wouldn't work, as our players always SUCK when they come up from the minors. I know I have been clamoring for Poreda to be called up, but I can just see him walking like 7 in his ML debut. When was the last time a player, pitcher or hitter, has actually performed well in the ML debut?

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 01:57 PM) I wonder what he "feels" about what he is seeing day in and day out.... can't be happy with this crap. But when will he do anything about it. Walker is still here and this offensive s*** show has been here for the last three years, but nothing is ever done.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 01:56 PM) BTW, Corky Miller is a significantly better game caller than Castro. To be fair, when Colon is on the mound, all you do is put down one finger and hope it gets to you.

Another funny thing is if you combined the Cubs with the Sox, I am still not sure that team would be any good.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 01:54 PM) When an entire f***ing message board of fans can predict what a terrible pitcher like Huff is gonna do, and they end up being RIGHT about it, something needs to be changed with the personnel The fact we're only 3.5 out of first place is honestly in my opinion, a detriment to what needs to happen with the f***ing front office and management of this franchise I like KW, but I really think we would be better off with Hahn running the show. He uses numbers much more than KW who is a feel GM.

I really hope Kenny doesn't think about adding to this team. This team needs to be selling: Konerko, JD, AJ, Thome and Dotel should all be traded, if possible. This team has no shot at winning division, and if for some reason they did, there is no way we can compete with other playoff teams. Load up the minors and prepare for the future.

I never really realized how skinny Beck is. He's almost Alexei-esque.

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 01:47 PM) You think he's gonna be up this year? I'm pretty excited, my friend from Texas used to play against this kid in high school, and he said he was absolutely the best guy out there, always. He had a lot of good words for Jordan. If by September we are out of it, yes. Otherwise, sometime next year -- early though.

DEEEEEEEEEE-ROOOOOOOOSA

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 01:46 PM) I wonder if Oz has given any thought to Alexei to CF and Beckham SS.... No need. Danks will be ready sooner than later, so people will just have to shift again. And Getz is showing he is a starting caliber infielder.

Love the guy in the background with the "ah choo" chant.

After Contreras gets dominated tomorrow, can Poreda please be called up and Colon and his fat ass be sent packing?

I am getting to the point where I just want a lineup of this when Q is off the DL: CF-Danks SS-Alexei RF-Dye 1b-Konerko LF-CQ 3b-Fields 2b-Beckham C-Flowers If we can't score with the vets in the lineup, just let the kids play and get experience and play for next year.

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 01:40 PM) We have no good young hitters. Beckham dice hola.

Quit f***ing pulling outside pitches!!!!!
