QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 05:22 PM) LOL at J4L rooting against Jackson. It's really unbelievable. I've been a regular poster for 8 years and I somehow root against certain guys, essentially wanting them to suck at the expense of the team just so I can say I was right and I can brag to a bunch of people Ive never seen before.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 04:54 PM) You are also consistently on record as disliking Jackson, so you have a pretty big reason to hope that he fails. And I say this with respect, but that's by far the dumbest myth and accusation in Soxtalk history. Basically, you're saying I have to kiss every White Sox player's ass independent of anything because they're, well, White Sox. And if I don't that means I want them to fail. Take that weak s*** to northsidebaseball.com

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 04:44 PM) I think I disagree with this. I think Jackson's problem was games like last time out...where he didn't have his best stuff. When he's on, he demolishes people, it's been like that since he was with the Rays. THe issue is...what happens if he's not on? Can he pitch through it or not? Lately, he's been doing exactly that. I've followed Jackson enough (mostly due to fantasy) to know by now not to get excited after a dominant start or two. If by June he's dealing, then we can talk. That's just me.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 04:33 PM) That really doesnt address the fact that people have been far more negative post 2005. How many blow up the team threads etc have there been. Its just ridiculous. It's called expectations. It should be the same in any profession. Just because you've reached the pinnacle once doesn't mean the show shuts down.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 04:06 PM) Tb's offense sucks but all you had to do was watch this game to realize he would have shutdown pretty much any offense around today. Not saying he's going to do it consistently but today, no one would have stood a chance. I saw it live. Jackson has had plenty of standout performances. That's not his problem. It's command and overall consistency.

Jackson was godlike. But I could shutdown this Tampa offense. Let's not get crazy.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 05:39 PM) Didn't help that Brian had one of the biggest mechanical flaws you'll ever see in a hitter. Not to mention no baseball talent.

One of the uglier wins in recent memory. The defense was deplorable. Like REALLY, REALLY bad. But the team showed a lot of heart. And I'm a couple weeks away, maybe less than that, in becoming a full-fledged believer in TCQ and not WTFCQ.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 04:44 PM) 10 runs Team Dead Fire Greg Walker Ummm, what else did the sox haters on this board come up with? Dude, the pitching and defense have been deplorable. We have no business winning this game. A lot of the criticism is justified. Of course, those that were punting the '11 season, yeah, they're kinda lame.

Damn, I just need to shut my mouth. Morel!!!!

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 04:38 PM) dude's carrying us right now Just like '08. Now if we don't get this run in here I give up.

CQ is a monsta!

Nice recovery by Sale.

Why even pitch to JF here? Stupid. Nevermind. lol. But still. I would've walked him.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 04:30 PM) Even Morel with an error. This fielding this game has been bad (if 11 innings is a large enough sample size to say something like that, of course). Haven't been impressed at all with Morel since opening day. Me and Tru were joking about this. But Brian Anderson had a nice opening day in '06 and forgot how to play baseball. Makes you wonder. Yes, I'm being just a tad paranoid.

This bullpen is '10 Arizona bad right now.

QUOTE (High Mileage @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 04:28 PM) They call them "Ricciardi's"... After Vernon Wells, anything is possible. Put Rios on the Braves and they're considerably better. As where with us he doesn't have the same impact.

And here we go..............

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 04:27 PM) We scored 7 runs today. I don't think we can blame the offense no matter what happens. Yes, we can. Because we could've scored 3 or 4 more.

I wonder would a team like the Braves be interested in Rios if we ate some cash? Not now. But Rios just doesn't seem like his production will ever match his talent (and his contract).

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 04:24 PM) I remember Thome hitting a ball about 800 feet off him last year in a save situation... That wasn't a save situation IIRC.

At least Butler is out of the game. But I've got a bad feeling right now.

Rios drives me nuts.

QUOTE (High Mileage @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 04:22 PM) I was pleased with the lack of them this off-season... You guys were touched by an angel when Gil Meche decided to retire.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 04:21 PM) Anyone else have a weird Gameday right now? In the 9th it said Quentin was a lefty, and now it also shows Gordon as a lefty. Same here. This happened yesterday, too. Oh, well. I love this new gameday.
