Wedge

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 19, 2007 -> 08:15 PM) Nice AB Gooch. LETS GO THOMEEEEE pick up the manager who's sleeping and the grinder. or PK

I must say, it is nice to see Ozzie more intelligently managing Vazquez. I think he's come to realize he probably can't get 100 pitches out of the guy and expect us to be in position to win.

OK, I'm curious... why was McCarthy so good at the end of 2005? What was he doing differently then from what he is doing now? Or has the league just adjusted to him?

I'm thinking the mystery has to do with the cable that Sayid found which lead him to Danielle's place.

QUOTE(caulfield12 @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 01:00 PM) And Rauch. I was eviscerated earlier this week when suggesting a change in batting coaches, but another week of this, if the pitching continues to be strong, and you'll start hearing murmurs. pitching hasn't been a problem... yet

QUOTE(BearSox @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 12:49 PM) Were we even in the game to begin with? 0 runs -> loss

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 12:29 PM) I'm pretty sure it is. I remember seeing it for the first time a couple years ago, and I'd watched that movie my whole life. Outside chance Danks can go 7 innings. oh, ok. Yeah I have the special edition DVD and it's the only one I've ever watched.

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 12:27 PM) Danks doing exactly what we want from him, again. Danks getting s*** for run support, again. consider it rookie hazing

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 12:20 PM) Wow, a deleted scene. Impressive. is it really? I didn't even realize that

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 12:14 PM) Why Wedge, looks like somebody just walked over your grave. I calculate not.

QUOTE(shoota @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 12:11 PM) Let's have a spelling contest. I'm your huckleberry

I thought we traded McCarthy because he was HR prone... I kid, I kid...

Very nice pickoff! I remember an article about how hard he worked to develop it to be a more viable pitcher.

QUOTE(shoota @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 11:04 AM) I've noticed a lot of Guillen defenders take a macro approach in defending him. Like your post, they compare Guillen to other managers, I'm guessing as a way to make Guillen look like a good manager when evaluated on a curve. They mention guys like Brenley, Manuel and Bevington, even though those managers have nothing to do with the topic in discussion. I believe Guillen defenders take this approach instead of discussing a specific criticism because they understand Guillen's decision was wrong and there's no way to defend it. Hence the reason for avoiding the topic and basically saying while Guillen is bad at his job, he's often better than some! I think that Guillen defenders take the macro approach for good reason. I think even the most ardent Guillen supports would agree that some of his in game decisions are somewhat questionable, and yes, they may cost games. However, as we all know the season is a marathon. I think that sometimes those decisions help the team out in the long run. Cox has always been a master of this and I believe Ozzie tries to emulate it.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 10:07 AM) He's wouldn't accept an offer that puts him in AAA. I hope he has fun in Tampa then

QUOTE(Damen @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 07:45 AM) Whoa there guvna'. This isn't little league. If our guys play soft and look miserable but sweep the tribe, I'll be happy. If they play hard and smile, only to get swept, I will need to destroy life to satiate my anger. This reminds me of the post from the guy who said he'd break his TV if the Bulls drafted Tyrus Thomas.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Apr 12, 2007 -> 08:19 AM) The Cub fans here in my office (and they are season ticket holders, so they are not fly by night fans) all think it's very funny. We all agree also that it would be great to see the Cubs come back with their own ad campaign going back at the Sox. I'd like to see the two organizations turn this rivalry into something kind of fun. Back when the Sox had the infamous billboard outside Wrigley, instead of crying about it, it would have been cool if the Cubs had done something else. Let's hope this time they answer the challenge instead of actiing like whiney little brats again. I missed it. What was the "infamous billboard"?

QUOTE(TheBigHurt @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 04:16 PM) Who got the 2 runs in the late innings? JD got a 2-run HR to tie it. Erstad hit a sac fly to score Uribe with bases loaded in the 9th. PK hit a shot off the wall to score 2 more.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 04:06 PM) If Bobby's specifically having issues getting his arm worked into shape...3 in a row might be an even better idea. Probably should rest him tomorrow, but it might help him loosen up more. tomorrow's an off day so no issue there.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 04:04 PM) White Sox 3-4-5 hitters 6-13 - 2B, HR, 2 BB, 3 runs, 4 RBI... not a bad day. They just started slow

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 04:02 PM) Now I stick with Aardsma. He has had some time off, Thor has been inconsistant, and both Jenks and Mac are over worked. Good plan.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 04:00 PM) Bobby can hold down a 3 run lead no problem. Gotta give him confidence. Houston Street just struggled and I'm sure he'll bounce back in his next outing. BTw his era just went from 0.00 to 5.79. No way. I guess we have the off day tomorrow, but it seems like a bad idea to pitch Bobby 3 days in a row.

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 03:27 PM) Man, and I'm not singling you out....but if I have to hear about poor Scott Podsednik's 'fragile confidence' anymore....jesus. He sucks defensively, and the law of averages will catch up with him offensively. You put your team in the best position to win, period. Egos don't get to interfere with that, well in a realistic world. But we all know thats not the case with the '07 Sox anyways. How about the "Pods is the only one doing ANYTHING with the bat" angle?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 03:17 PM) AJ walks. Pods coming up. I'm not watching the game, but you must be lying.
