I'd just throw a high fastball, have AJ jump out of the way and let it drill the ump...thats who deserves the beaning.

TOTAL f***ING BULLs***...come on pitching, shut em down and lets get the offense to get some runs across. Win this game and then tell this crew to f*** OFF

This ump crew should be fined...not the Sox. Jermaine Dye is playing shortstop...holy s***.

Absolutely one of the worse calls I've ever seen. That pitch was right at Crede. DJ is dead on in his rant about how pathetic that call was. This has been such a garbage called series. On a sidenote, Crede got a little lucky cause I thought he struck out looking (that pitch looked good). Ozzie got tossed at a perfect time too, imo. Holy cripes...Crede just got tossed so I'm guessing Willie is moving to short. f***ING BULLs***...HORSEs***

Awesome AB AJ Now the Sox are destined for that DP, but remember what I siad, Crede is gonna give the Sox the lead this inning!!!!

QUOTE(quickman @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 01:59 PM) Well I think he is in a total funk, offensively he is terrible right now and should be dropped in the order. Defensively he is suspect. Maybe he is one that get effected on both things, but he is not playing good baseball. I agree. I've said it for a long ass time, its so f***ing stupid he's in the 5 spot right now. Thats not Jermaines problem though its Ozzie's. Defensively he's a solid player, but he's made some bonehead plays.

QUOTE(farmteam @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 01:55 PM) Good stuff. If I can just figure out the W-S rotation, I'll write out the pitching preview, and my article will be done. I'll shoot ya an email in a few. Whisler is supposed to be back in a few days. Then Haig, Rodriguez, Bakker (who should get demoted for Gio and it may happen in a few weeks) and I'd have to think of the others (maybe Flores). This is just off the top of my head.

QUOTE(quickman @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 01:56 PM) Maybe I read this wrong but yesterday dye dropped a ball and threw tot he wrong base. he cost us the game. Defensively yes, he made some mistakes. Thing is Dye dropped that ball and s*** happens. As far as offensively though he made big time strides. It was probably his best offensive game of the season (sad as it may be).

No one better to hit and run with AJ at the plate. AJ can make contact and Arow has good speed. Lets do it.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 01:56 PM) Ozzie: HIT and RUN!

I'd have Aaron in motion or a hit and run of some sort. Time to play ballsy.

So Hermy is actually warming up?

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 01:54 PM) When is Hermanson coming back? He's been day to day for about 5 days now. Its almost to the point where in the next couple days if he isn't ready, you go to the DL retroactive and at least use one of the AAA guys as an extra arm for a couple days. Dye flies out to Kotsay. Crede is gonna give the Sox the lead this inning.

QUOTE(Y2HH @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 01:53 PM) You see, I disagree about Dye...we KNOW Dye is good, he's just trying to overdo it right now. I don't know what his issues are right now, but we need Dye. I'm going to look at yesterdays game where he made a lot of strides. The problem with this entire f***ing offense is they are trying to pull everything in the world.

On a sidenote, I'm guessing it will be Neal or Polite next because Marte has to be gassed.

LETS GO WHITE SOX LETS GO WHITE SOX LETS GO WHITE SOX :headbang

OMG...I think I just scared everyone at my work...I just yelled hell ya pretty damn loud after that DP.

I'd freaking drop a bunt, LOL. Widger would s*** his pants and the A's would have the lead.

Please Marte...throw strikes.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 01:47 PM) Come on Dye, you have to be able to throw him out there. Byrnes wasn't even at 2nd base by the time Dye got it. Dye didn't get himself set behind the throw. What are you talking about, Dye made a good throw.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 01:44 PM) I did check the splits and you are right about his numbers being even with runners on and off but I'm goign to go with what I've seen over stats in this case. Thats simply this season and obviously he isn't dominating thus far, minus his homers. When Paulie is on, he's driving the ball to right field. f***, aside from Crede I haven't seen any of the Sox right handed hitters even using right field. Its disgusting. This team is in the most awful fundemental funk I've ever seen. They are having a hell of a time picking up pitches and on top of it are being way to greedy at the plate trying to pull everything. If you notice the only times Rowand has done much anything, he has been going opposite field, but thus far its been not near enough. As far as Dye goes, Ozzie better get the memo and move Crede into Rowands spot, Rowand up into Dye's spot and Dye down into the 8/9 spot. I'd give Dye friday off too and then let Dye get back on Saturday. Wow Byrnes got lucky there, Dye had a nice throw but it hit Byrnes.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 01:40 PM) Paulie has been like this all season in critical spots. Some guys are better off with the bases empty or a non-close game. Don't know why but a lot of big name players who put up nice stats are like that. Although in most years Paulie is as good as it gets with runners on. He's never selfish and always willing to do the little things. I know Hawk said he changed his stance a bit yesterday, moving his hands a bit outside. Cotts is getting up in the pen. I'd guess Marte is a little tired, he's been used quite a bit lately. A's are going to try and put some pressure on Widger here. Come on Marte, lets get out of this one unscaved.

QUOTE(quickman @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 01:37 PM) we had our chance right there ITs just yet another time they have had a shot. Of coruse to be honest, this was the worse shot of all of them. The double plays have killed this team. That and they are not going in motion to get out of them. Its obvious the offense is stalling so you got to force the issue a bit. Nice job by Carl to do it. He'd of been gunned on a good throw but job was done. You put the pressure on Kendall to make a good throw and more times than not Kendall won't come through.

QUOTE(longshot7 @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 01:32 PM) I think I read they're 3-17 there in recent years. Yikes. They have to be near as bad in Anaheim. Its not too often I've seen them win (maybe once a year) and I pretty much see every game when they are in town.

Willie is the s***znit. He's looking so much better offensively its not even funny. I just want Uribe back healthy because the Sox can't do without him at SS. Willie can semi replace Guchi. 2 hits for Willie today. Of course I hope to see Willie get more agressive. On a sidenote, was I the only one laughing when Hawk and Dj were talking about Willie stealing a base and Hawk goes how is he going to steal off a lefty when he can't steal off a righty?
