QUOTE (Paint it Black @ May 1, 2011 -> 09:35 PM) Let me sum this thread up for everyone that hasn't read through it: Rabble Rabble this team isn't playing hard (but I can't prove it) rabble rabble. Question for the people that want Ozzie Fired: If he's the reason they're losing then why didn't they win the two games he was suspended? And further, what do you want him to do to make this team better? How about stress fundamentals, and then bench players who aren't showing solid fundamentals (ie: Rios and Pierzynski). I can't remember the last time Ozzie benched someone for lackidasical play. These guys have never seen someone held accountable, so there's no pressure on them to shape up. As for making team better, it would be nice if Ozzie had an idea about how to use his players. Not letting Dunn face the sinker ball with bases loaded for the struggling Rios was just weak.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ May 1, 2011 -> 10:16 PM) That pitch had the movement it would have fooled just about any hitter. Also, an at bat is an accumulation of several pitches. Overall, he did what he was supposed to do that at bat....he just got jobbed. He swung at a 3-1 breaking ball that barely reached the plate.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 1, 2011 -> 10:15 PM) Rios went 0-5 with 8 LOB. Wow. He needs to be benched. Not for a game, but he needs to lose his starting spot.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 1, 2011 -> 10:14 PM) I don't think he wants to get into any more trouble after the whole Twitter thing. So we have a gutless manager now cause of that stupid Twitter thing?

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ May 1, 2011 -> 10:12 PM) Can't blame Rios....he couldn't have reached that ball if he wanted to. That was a horrible call by the ump Bad call, but I blame Rios for swinging at a terrible 3-1 pitch.

Nice 2 strike swing by AJP on the 1 strike pitch. I can't believe Ozzie didn't get tossed on the Rios strike.

One of the worst calls you'll see.

Wow, not even close. Get tossed Ozzie

SWING THE BAT CAPTAIN

A wild pitch would be very nice here!

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ May 1, 2011 -> 10:05 PM) well one second dunn is the worst hitter in the world then its he should pinch hit. There's only one person who thinks Dunn is worst hitter in world

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ May 1, 2011 -> 10:00 PM) yea and just yesterday people were saying dunn is the worst hitter theyve ever seen and why did we sign him.ok , ozzie ph's him and strikes out then its, why would he bring in dunn??he sucks! Thanks Mrs. Guillen

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 1, 2011 -> 08:59 PM) Yeah. The Yankees made a mistake last offseason when they signed Posada to a 4 year deal in 2007 rather than Dunn after 2010. They should have predicted that in 3 years they'd want to move Posada to DH and only signed him for 3 years and then not had him walk away. Was Posada that bad defensively where they felt they had to move him to DH? Oh, and if you want the team that I think would take Dunn, it would have been the Cubs if Pujols had stayed in St. Louis.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ May 1, 2011 -> 08:54 PM) really? because he homered here,that means he WOULD have homered last inning? , lol It's called strategy. Johnson is absolutely the perfect pitcher for Dunn to hit.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 1, 2011 -> 08:57 PM) I've made this argument before, but yes. And I disagreed with it before. Yankees showed no interest in Dunn during offseason, IIRC.

QUOTE (Real @ May 1, 2011 -> 08:56 PM) lol, money is overrated right!? Who knows what Buehrle would be willing to do.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 1, 2011 -> 08:56 PM) AJ isn't hitting all that bad. He hasn't been slugging yet, but that's likely a sample size issue. Still 6 million? We'd have to eat a lot of that.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 1, 2011 -> 08:54 PM) I just turned on the game...I take it there was a better oppurtunity to PH Dunn? Bases loaded, 2 outs with Rios up against sinker baller

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 1, 2011 -> 08:54 PM) In the most simple terms, who better is going to be available at the stretch run to put teams over the top? Jesus, Jorge Posada is DHing for the Yankees right now. So teams are going to be on the hook for 3 years and 42 million (or whatever it is) for Dunn? If they really wanted him, the Yanks would have pursued him instead of Posada.

QUOTE (Real @ May 1, 2011 -> 08:53 PM) Buehrle? Really? Research that option he has if we trade him, then reassess your opinion about Buehrle being traded. I could see him reworking his contract to go to the Cards with the Sox making it easy for deal to take place.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 1, 2011 -> 08:52 PM) Pierzynski, Dunn, maybe Konerko, some of the bullpen guys. Why would anyone take AJP and his 6 mil contract next year? I also don't think teams would take the Dunn/Konerko contracts off our hands that easily.

I HATE YOU OZZIE

If Dunn homers here, someone is going to be in a lot of trouble.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 1, 2011 -> 08:50 PM) Just wait until the sell off... This "sell off" is greatly exaggerated. It's going to be a lot harder to dump contracts than people think. What contracts can we really unload? Buehrle and Jackson are definitely the first two to go, IMO.

22k today???? MERCY Disaster is upon us. I wonder last time they had that low of attendance on a weekend day with nice weather.
