QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Apr 17, 2010 -> 05:36 PM) No, no its not. Its on the pro players who can't hit the ball. No.. it's on Ozzie. I would feel better if it was on the guys who hit the ball, instead of leaving Peavy in 100+ pitches in to start the 8th in a tie game and Thornton who pitched yesterday in a meaningless garbage time pitching 10 games already in the first two weeks of the season.

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Apr 17, 2010 -> 05:35 PM) the offense is just not good. we now average 3 runs a game and are 1-4 against a bad team who is 1-5 against the rest of the league. we should be scoring a lot more runs against this below average pitching staff. they don't have one dominant pitcher on the team Now that is brutal.

This loss is on Ozzie.

I don't blame Matt. He was used yesterday in a game we weren't comming back in, and has been used 10 games already into the season. Still though, you can't let that happen.

Thornton.. 10 games in already this early.. getting burned out. I love Choo BTW... great hitter.

Ha.. Jones had that base stolen easily. I hope that was A.J. swing... or Ozzie's stupid hit and run. Yes! Rios!

Konerko is our most patient hitter.. sad isn't it.

At this rate though, if someone gets on, Ozzie has to make the adjustment. Run on the first pitch, since our hitters are impatient today.

QUOTE (WSoxMatt @ Apr 17, 2010 -> 04:34 PM) Tough when hes swinging at the 1st pitch Ya you can't blame Oz there. That was all on Quentin.

If Ozzie is smart, he'd run with Beckham here to avoid the DP.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 17, 2010 -> 03:43 PM) 91-92 mph fastballs with no movement down the plate He was 88-90 his last outing FWIW.

Well... at least Peavy is throwing harder today....

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 17, 2010 -> 03:29 PM) There's two double plays already. This is getting too predictable. Lineup change doing enough wonders for ya?!

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 17, 2010 -> 03:20 PM) Rios had a difficult call to make on that play. If he plays it cautious, probably only a double, but no chance to catch it. He went to deep trying to catch the ball and there was no way to play the bounce. Not sure with 1 out which is the better statistical play, to go for the out and risk the triple, or to let him have a double. Ya.. bring yo black ass to the chat son. http://www.soxtalk.com/chat/chatroom.html QUOTE (jphat007 @ Apr 17, 2010 -> 03:23 PM) It should get the GM fired too. Ya... but first the manager. Bringing/Wanting Kotsay back, the rotating DH idea, a slap happy leadoff hitter he emphasized (Pierre) etc.. all on Ozzie.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 17, 2010 -> 08:10 AM) Last night's game was the personification of a season's worth of goaltender frustration. This is all on Stan Bowman IMO. Say what you will about Tallon, but if there was a weakness we needed, he would make the trade to get it. (defensive/good faceoff 3rd line C, Sammy P last year) Seems like we might be wasting this talent. No matter what Niemi does, I still think we should either trade for, or draft a young goaltender next season.

http://www.soxtalk.com/chat/chatroom.html LETS GO!!!!

Ima be in this b****.

Becks is doubles galore.. then gets caught up on a DP. God I hate Juan Pierre.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 17, 2010 -> 01:35 AM) They did. If the Bulls don't win at least 2, I'm done posting here and you guys can hold me to that. I'll add that to all the other "Im done posting here if..." crap I've seen from posters over the years.. BTW, I believe someone has hacked into Rowand's account.

Quentin.

That was a terrible TO by Brouwer. Niemi, Brouwer, Hendry, Versteeg even Toews who had chances were bad today. Kane, Seabrook, Hammer, freaking Sopel and Hossa seemed like the only ones who showed up.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Apr 16, 2010 -> 11:27 PM) Yeesh, his K/BB numbers in his two starts almost look like a mistake. 1 K/8 BB with an ERA under 2.5? Go figure. I guess that Dash defense is good enough to help make that possible. Yes, yes they are.. Hate to say it, but he pitchers there are going to get really spoiled this year. Escobar and Garcia are as good as it gets in the middle, and everyone in the OF has range/speed. Gilmore has his issues with errors, but even he is solid as far as range. Kinda cool to know only the corner IF spots are your weakest defensively and really are not Konerko and Teahen bad.

QUOTE (daggins @ Apr 16, 2010 -> 09:15 PM) Move them up to where? Teahen could bat 5th right now, as bad as this team is, but AJ is what, 7th? I think he's fine at 7. That would make the most sense (Teahen's OBP is incredible for a guy with a low average so far) but this is Ozzie. Damn near guaranteed we'll see A.J. bat 5th and Teahen 7th tomorrow. Prove me wrong, your not this predictable Ozzie!

One of the rare times.... ACE IS IN THE MOTHER F'IN CHAT!!!!

Meh.. hopefully they just give it to Dubler. Might as well give him the at-bats and see if something clicks or get into alittle hot streak. To think a couple of years ago, he was at (or near) the top of our catching depth chart (when he was drafted) cause of our weak catching prospects, now I don't even think he's ahead of Cole Armstrong.
