IT would be so sweet if the Ducks won it all

This pen will be one of the top 5 in baseball when the season is done.

Now that pisses me off. The pen was pretty well rested, especially considering we picked up another reliever. You don't pitch a guy if he's sick and says he can't pitch. I really hope we make a move for a new manager. Backman has to be it cause he's famliar with most of the players.

Overall calls even themselves out over a full season. Nothing you can do other then b**** when it happens and move on. It should of been Manuel that got ejected. A young player shouldn't be making a name for hismelf by getting ejected. He should of made some comments and I do think he talked to the ump with Manuel and pointed, he just didn't make a scene.

Damn, looks like it is going to go into the 5th overtime.

Well I kind of thought we overpaid for Konerko in the offseason, but this guy will come together.

it's KW's fault because he put a team together that has no speed so manufacturing runs is nearly impossible and for 3 seasons now we have needed a power hitting left handed bat for the middle of the line up and he has failed to produce one... but you make a good point..manuel didnt lose this game tonight..the bullpen did..white and gordon are veterans and they need to start pitching like they are Disagree Baggs. I've said it time in and time out this team has plenty of speed to manufacture runs. You don't have to be a fast team to manufacture runs. You need to have hitters that are patient, don't strike out much and put the bat on the ball. Do a lot of hit and runs. Plus Maggs, Jimenez, Jose, Caballo and Olivo can all steal 20 bases. Rowand can steal a decent amount too. Crede, Thomas and Konerko are the only guys that wouldn't be running or stealing many bases. Angels aren't that fast of a team. They have a few guys that are slow too and they are an ultimate example of manufacturing runs. Ken Williams has put together a great team. No way do I want to see him go. I've stuck up for him when he was making some questionable moves because I liked his overall thought and I love the way this team looks on paper. Its the manager and players job to do the rest.

Scioscia is who I'd hire if I could hire any manager Clu. I love the way he manages and from what I hear about Backman, they seem like rather similar managers.

He'll get a bit more time to get on track. This was I think his 2nd game back from the injury.

Damn, I never notice these things. I must of screwed something up. I'm going to look into all these problems, hopefully this weekend during the draft.

I think the MLB does the same thing by keeping score to a point.

www.soxandroll.com and somewhere on there there should be a listen button.

I'll stop on by.

Lol. The program we use is being updated and they are working on getting all the bugs worked out. It should be back in no time.

Heres the thing, KW doesn't call JM and tell him when he can argue and when he can show fire. I haven't had many problems with who JM has brought in from the pen. My flaws came to him not showing life after that homer and not playing Rios near enough while he has a hot bat.

Email everyone. I hope someone figures this out and they can sign a deal and right new episodes, but I doubt it happens.

Checked my email and they are updating the tools we use for the front page so I think thats why the outage occured. Think is the key word

I just noticed that.

I wouldn't go that far, but the ones that are pulling the outside pitches or being selfish with long swings with runners in scoring position. Take the Major League Approach and start fining these jackasses that are being selfish. I know its harder then I act like it is to go opposite field, but these guys are major league hitters and they know how to do it. I'm also pretty upset after todays performance. I still know this team will be fine, but I do think we'll see some personel changes.

I like that though. Joe seems to be saying hey, the ball was called foul so we can't use that as an excuse for losing. The players seem to be saying the right things, they just have to start going opposite field. I don't know what Ward is doing so I can't commend on whether he is doing a good job or not, but I hope he's working on them going opposite field and preaching contact and telling them they don't have to pull it because if they are going opposite field, moving guys over, then their run situations and RBI's will come because the team will be hitting around so often. Like I say, only those in the dugout and around the team everyday in the clubhouse or talking to the playesr all the time know that.

Well I picked Rios but thats if we don't make any moves. I want Rowand down in AAA with Harris coming up for the time being. Lets see what Willie can do. I know one thing, Willie will drop some bunts, hustle his ass of (Rowand does too) and will provide a crapload of speed. Lets give the kid a shot, he can't possibly do worse then Rowand. Then give Borchard a bit more time, mainly to get healthy and readjust some more and then bring him up if Harris isn't doing it. I want Harris to get the at bats to prove whether he can do it or not.

Yes because our division blows and I stick to that. KC isn't crap and the Twins will be the team we compete with, but KC will finish about .500. The Sox are far superior to these teams. Am i pissed heck ya I am, but I want to get Harris up here with Rowand getting sent down where he can play everyday and work on his swing and approach. He will never be sucessful when he hacks at every damn thing thrown his way. Sorry Aaron, I'm a huge fan, but I have been sickened watching you. I've also been sickened watching Konerko. Why do we have ot keep sticking him out there. On the plus side he took a couple more towards right today but they went foul. Konerko is trying to pull everything as are all our hitters. Why can't our coaches get on these guys and show the angels who don't do that crap a team that doesn't have our offensive talent. Come on guys get it together.

Maggs still doesn't look right at the plate. I don't know how he had that streak, but he isn't hitting the ball right. All or hitters are trying to pull the ball 90% of the time and its pissing the heck out of me.

That looks like an issue with the server company. I know they have been working on upgrading our mysql stuff or something like that and its supposedly fixed or going to be fixed in the next day or two. Hopefully once that is done, all error messages go away, but I know I'd only be dreaming if that were too happen. Just like I"d be dreaming if JM showed some passion every once in a while. I'm amazed the guy hasn't fallen a sleep in the dugout yet.

This is the type of game where Manuel needs to get his ass rung out to install some life into them. When your a manager you kind of have to pick spots to do that and getting screwed out of a homer and getting constantly hosed on the outside part of the plate offensively was good enough cause for it. This would of been a 3-3 game and then instead we give up another run and are basically out of it with no shot. Manuel goes out there and gets his ass ejected or at least shows some heat and the players could respond. By the way, what the hell is Rowand playing for right now. Rios is the hot bat and we haven't face a lefty either of the past two games yet Rowand is playing. This reaks of the Sox giving him one last shot before they ship him out of here, imo.
