QUOTE(Dam8610 @ May 16, 2005 -> 12:50 AM) This series looks like a good chance to get back on track before part 1 of the crosstown series. If El Duque gets the win tommorrow, I'm thinking it'll be a sweep. I hope you're right. We need the Duke to come up big tomorrow and more importantly, we need to offense to pick it up.

QUOTE(. @ May 15, 2005 -> 11:37 PM) Most times relievers are just failed starters at one point in their career. Gagne was f***ing brutal to watch. Dude, whats up with that name........or lack thereof. LOL

QUOTE(Jabroni @ May 15, 2005 -> 10:23 PM) "Bad, bad times for some" http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/gammons/story?id=2061052 I certainly didn't expect them to light the world on fire this season cause they lost Clement, Soso and Moistest but thanks to Dusty's mismanagement of his pitching staff getting them all hurt the situation is far worse.

QUOTE(Winnin Ugly @ May 15, 2005 -> 08:19 PM) My choice would be Baltimore they have a great team. If I had to pick a team that would give the most fits in the playoffs it would be Oakland because we cannot win in their park to save our lives. On a side note , though, t's a bit early to be discussing this though.

QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ May 15, 2005 -> 08:51 PM) Make 'em eat s*** on ESPN! RIP EM!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(YahtzeeSox @ May 15, 2005 -> 08:54 PM) ESPN EAT SHIT PUSSY NOOBS I LOVE IT!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHA

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ May 15, 2005 -> 08:11 PM) I'd take Crawford. Better in the field and he has much mroe power. He will probably only get 40 bags hitting third though. Interesting that givne the disparity in steals and walks that he has scored more runs than Scott. I think the fact that he has scored more runs is because our 3-5 hitters have not exactly been stellar this season so far.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ May 15, 2005 -> 08:04 PM) Challenge to Douchebag: Would you go to a Sox game right now? I strongly doubt he'd show his face at the Cell.

http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/asiapcf/05/1...uran/index.html People are engaging in violent protests and people are getting hurt and killed because someone in this magazine screwed up. Whoever was responsible for this story needs to be fired.......like yesterday.

QUOTE(Sox Hustler @ May 15, 2005 -> 06:26 PM) Seriously is flub management going to do anything about Baker? Because he is seriously f***ing all of their arms up. Hopefully they wont. It is really amusing to watch them implode because of his stupidity.

QUOTE(chi-guy2 @ May 15, 2005 -> 05:29 PM) haha bears falling apart i love this as a packers fan Traitor

QUOTE(qwerty @ May 15, 2005 -> 05:35 PM) No. Just no. Yeah, BMac is our next starter and he needs his seasoning in the minors. No reason to bring him up early and ruin his confidence by throwing him in bad relief situations.

QUOTE(AirScott @ May 15, 2005 -> 05:19 PM) wow. I'm a day late here, but you have a point about Ozzie. he constantly seems to leave his starters in just 1 inning too long, he did the same exact thing with Buehrle vs. Oakland. I missed the game, I was at work, but from what I've heard/seen, he should stop doing that. Its nice to try to get a starter a win but throwing him back out there when he's tired and has a high pitch count isin't gonna get that done.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ May 15, 2005 -> 05:09 PM) There are no excuses. Cotts hasn't been great the past two days, period. But, who's better than him? It ain't Kevin Walker, I don't care if he's pitched two shutout innings. I think it's time to give Baj a prolonged chance, regardless of him being a lefty or not. I'm wondering why Politte is not getting used. If he's hurt and I missed it then I can see but if he's healthy then there's no reason to keep throwing Cocks out there when he clearly isin't getting it done.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ May 15, 2005 -> 05:10 AM) I remember some experts calling this one of the worse trades if not the worse trade of the off-season. They did and those words are being fed to them every day.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ May 15, 2005 -> 04:59 PM) Agreed. I don't think there's any doubt fans will be at the Cell this summer in big numbers. And the Cubs draw more, good for them. That's gotten them how far in the past 97 years? The fact the the Flubbs draw big numbers is attributed mostly to the fact that its somehow cool to go there, get drunk and act stupid. I'm willing to bet that 75% of the people who go to Flubbs games can't name their starting 5 and a good portion dont even know who's starting that day.

QUOTE(South Side Fireworks Man @ May 15, 2005 -> 04:39 PM) I'm sure Walker will be going back down, but Ross Gload will probably (hopefully) be back by the time Frank comes back. So Perez will probably also have to go. We'll see... I'll be glad when G-Load comes back. Maybe a day off will help Kong get it together.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 15, 2005 -> 04:32 PM) It was obvious to me they were trying to go the other way and fouled some pitches off. Go have another drink in whatever southern AZ watering hole you're in today. The idiot hole is whatever hole you dig for yourself ... daily. By the way, it's "ridiculous", you should know how to spell that one. What you don't know about baseball is a lot. What you know about over the top nonsense and profanity is quite a bit though. It's obvious to me that you're trying to defend your point with hypothetical nonsense. If they were trying to go the other way they wouldn't be hitting pitches 6 inches outside right to 3rd and short time after time. That's called pulling the ball for the slow among us here. If they were trying to go with the pitch then those would be getting served out into right field. How many times must this be explained to you Mr. "I know everything about baseball"? LOL! Thanks spell checker. If a typo is all you got against me you really have issues.

QUOTE(TheBigHurt @ May 15, 2005 -> 04:31 PM) Did anyone see that awful vote on Comcast gregarding Frank coming back into the lineup? 65% said "don't mess with success." On a team who's hitting is bad...... riiiiiggghhhttt. The bullpen may be doing good, and we've got soem good hitters, but it's hardly enough. Bring in Frank I say. Personally I can't wait for Frank to get back. With him back I think the rest of the guys are gonna see better pitches and Dead will get to ride the pine more often.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 15, 2005 -> 04:27 PM) I don't need to try, I know. Interesting that you're a different person in one forum vs. another. I'll remember that. So much for consistency. How do you know they're trying to pull everything? They aren't. You obviously watched the game as well as I did. You must've forgotten how many balls were hit foul the other way. As I said ... listen and learn more ... talk less. It'll serve you well. Thats more rediculous than your last post. God forbid I talk about things that are relevant to the topic. You're digging yourself deeper and deeper in the idiot hole with every post. Fouling balls off the other way?!?! Its called being late on your swing. For those who are a little slow like you even Hawk explains it by saying "he was tardy on that one".

QUOTE(JimH @ May 15, 2005 -> 04:22 PM) Naahhhh ... I remember plenty of times where you hide behind your uniform. That's ok ... if you say you haven't in certain forums, then you haven't. Fine with me, I know you're always right anyways. I could care less if you post anything negative about me ... when you post your over the top crap and you don't know what you're talking about, I'll call you out. Walker always preaches going the other way, if you knew anything about him and his philosophy, you'd know that. But you don't. Try reading and learning more, and talking less. Like I said. I only bring it up when its relevant to whats being discussed. Nice try. Back on topic though. If going the other way is what he's preaching then why is everyone on this team with the exception of Gooch trying to pull every thing thats thrown up there no matter how far outside? If that is, in fact, his philosophy then he's doing a horrible job of communicating that to the hitters.

QUOTE(TheBigHurt @ May 15, 2005 -> 04:19 PM) I agree. I miss Carlos. When I heard he was traded, I went nuts. The thing is, Scotty is REALLY good, and damn, but I dunno..... was it worth it....? C-Lee is hitting what .220? I dont miss him at all. Losing him for a real lead off hitter was well worth it.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 15, 2005 -> 04:15 PM) I'll say what I want to say, when I want to say it. Just like you. Don't like what I have to say, do the same ignoring that you suggest. You've hid behind your uniform before, thought I'd call you on it before you did it again. Don't like it, that's a shame ... just as you don't give a damn what I think, the feeling is more than mutual. The only time I bring up my military service is when its relevant to the topic being discussed. I challenge you to find one single post on Pale Hose Talk where I bring it up. I don't recall ever posting something negative about you till this thread but you're the one that tried to call me out because of my comment on Greg Walker but with the way we're hitting ( or not hitting ) you dont have a leg to stand on.

QUOTE(TheBigHurt @ May 15, 2005 -> 04:14 PM) Hell, where did Gload go? LMAO. I don't keep up with the minor league stuff, meh. But I dunno if letting Gload down if that's what they did was a good idea. Get Willie in there! O_O G-Load is on the shelf right now. Something wrong with his shoulder if I remember correctly.
