Hey, Hawk finally noticing that Quentin's become a pop up machine to the right side.

Hey balta or any other stat guy...who was the last batter to have 100 at bats to start the year without a homer or a walk?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 15, 2011 -> 08:19 PM) The only way it doesn't happen is if Ozzie is no longer the manager. You know I'm right. No chance, we'll find some other slappy mcsucky hitter. Someone like Nyjer Morgan.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 15, 2011 -> 08:16 PM) He'll get resigned in the offseason. Rick Hahn wouldn't dare.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 15, 2011 -> 08:14 PM) He's going away. All the time. Every time he gets to 1b in fact. He rapidly goes away. Times this like, I'm just very grateful this is the last year he has a contract with the Sox.

Pierre has to be off to one of the worst baserunning seasons ever. As balta said, he's worthless if he can't steal in that situation.

Is the weather really that bad in Chicago today? To me, seems like Cubs had quick trigger on postponing the game due to facing Lincecum.

Better question tex would be if you think KW has done a good job with his trades/transactions the last 3 years?

Pretty sure everyone on here liked the Quentin trade, hated the second Swisher trade, and despised the Brandon Allen trade.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 14, 2011 -> 10:40 PM) You're out of your mind. I'll respond to this before I go, but I don't see the physical tools there unless he has a drastic change in his hitting mechanics. People on here act like he's a top 20 prospect, but plenty of scouts had concerns about his ability to hit for enough power at a corner position.

Gavin getting crushed by the weak hitting A's. Time to go do something useful today, have a good day my fellow Sox fans.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 14, 2011 -> 10:36 PM) NO. You are not doing this. You are not screwing with Morel the same way you screwed with Anderson. Committing to him and then benching him constantly. And you are not moving Viciedo to another **** new position for the 3rd time in 3 years. NO. Terrible idea. I agree with you about the position changing, but they're going to do it. You never, ever hear Hawk talk about a prospect like he is with Viciedo unless he knows they're calling him up soon. I don't really care what they do with Morel, as I don't think he's talented enough to be a starting 3B in the majors.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 14, 2011 -> 10:33 PM) Only if Pierre is moving to 3b. They'll put Viciedo back at 3b.

Shocking Morel with a weak out to the right side. Lucky for him, Teahen is injured. Sounds like Hawk is preparing us for the Viciedo era to start soon.

My gosh Beckham strikes out a lot. I love Wimpy ripping on him.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 14, 2011 -> 10:23 PM) Wait a minute? We didn't score? I left for about 20 minutes. Soft lineout to first and Ramirez was 10 feet off of third. It was close to bouncing, but even then, he shouldn't have been going on contact.

Quentin swinging an invisible bat today.

More terrible fundamentals by the White Sox. Unreal...yet I'm sure no one will be held accountable.

There we go Dunn!! Got to get two runs this inning.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 14, 2011 -> 09:55 PM) That's the linedriviest weak popup I've ever seen. You're making it sound like it was similar to Beckham's sac fly last night.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 14, 2011 -> 09:54 PM) The 7 and 9 hitters nailed the ball and the #8 hitter got our first hit. Seriously, Morel hit a weak pop up.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 14, 2011 -> 09:53 PM) He nailed the ball on pitch 2, just right at the RF. Hardest hit ball we've had I think. Are you kidding me? It was a weak fly ball. I feel like I'm watching a different game then.

Well, at least the pitcher doesn't have to lead off next inning for us. Just have to shake your head at our 6-7-8-9-1 today.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 14, 2011 -> 09:51 PM) He's snapped off a couple good pitches but he's got no consistency, and the fastball is generally up so far. Seems to be throwing a lot of change-ups, and they've all been up.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 14, 2011 -> 09:52 PM) Please tell me Brent Morel is not sacrificing with 1 out and a man on 1b. Probably would have been only way he could be productive. I still can't believe he's playing today.
