Has anyone else heard the Sox radio commercial when they talk about all the different stat categories? Why is unforced errors one of the stats?

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 15, 2010 -> 03:27 AM) i have extra-innings too and I mostly just watch D-backs games now. Mark Grace entertains the s*** out of me. Him and D. Sutton are awesome!

And Sergio Santos is warming up. GMAFB

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 15, 2010 -> 03:19 AM) All you had to do was look at the White Sox line up tonight to know Gil Meche was going to have a decent game. This team is boring and embarrassing. yep, it's sad, but there's no way this 25 man roster can win the division. It's all about individual success now, as team success won't happen. This team truly is dead, I believe that.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 15, 2010 -> 03:17 AM) I'm not too hard on Teahen, because I don't expect a lot from the guy. But why the hell did Kenny give this guy a 3-year contract? Kenny is always preaching Chicago Tough, and they could have had a free year to evaluate him, and decide if he was worthy of keeping around in 2011. That's a bad move, pure and simple. As I said last week, his only value is as a utility guy. Instead, we stick him at his worst defensive position and at a position where his lack of power is magnified. Just a stupid idea.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 15, 2010 -> 02:15 AM) And Quentin. But what do you do with him? Send him down? You know my solution is to get a new hitting coach and PRAY that he can turn Quentin around before he becomes an afterthought in this organization.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ May 15, 2010 -> 02:14 AM) Classic backfire moves by Ozzie there. They never get old. Ozzie's managed this inning fine

I liked the point that B and B made, and that is if you want to start fixing the Sox, you have to get the dead weight off the team. Thus, you go ahead and get rid of Vizquel and Williams. It's like last year, where having Lillibridge in the majors made no sense.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 15, 2010 -> 02:11 AM) I love KW, but the sabermatician in me does glow a little when i hear the name Rick Hahn. It would be a shame for him to get a job with another organization, only to have KW fired a year later, etc. However, after watching Sports Sunday on NBC, I wouldn't be shocked if KW takes another position in the organization very soon.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 15, 2010 -> 03:09 AM) this is an irrational discussion. He argues them all the time, probably too much. You never see umps glaring into the dugout? I get your dissatisfaction with the guy as manager and there's a good argument for him to be removed; this isn't one of them. I'm just saying that greg acts like Ozzie is old school Billy Martin or Piniella with his demonstrative on-field actions.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 15, 2010 -> 03:09 AM) I'll give him a break, then, but he still is a way below average fielder. As far as Oz, I'm just saying it's obvious we'd go to Bell or Cora. Whoopie. This is two straight poor seasons, and 3 bad seasons out of the last 4 years. What's the harm in getting someone new in charge? It's broke, and needs to be fixed.

Wow Teahen, what an absolutely horrific player.

Oh Pods, I don't miss those K's looking.

Oh Hawk, Maier ripped his single. Shut up

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 15, 2010 -> 02:06 AM) You are to Ozzie what Glenn Beck is to Obama. So when does he argue balls and strikes?

QUOTE (Capn12 @ May 15, 2010 -> 03:05 AM) Kinda dove over a ball that possibly could have turned 2 It was a bad reaction to the ball being hit, but it still would have been a spectacular play.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 15, 2010 -> 02:03 AM) Good. Let KW hire Buddy Bell, some really dull, effective manager. Greg, you have a 105 million dollar payroll team playing like crap. They show no urgency. It's ironic, because Ozzie is one of the dullest managers with regards to on the field action you'll ever see. He NEVER argues balls and strikes.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 15, 2010 -> 02:02 AM) Bernstein seems to think that they hate each other. It's not a very well-kept secret anymore. It started last season.

Paciorek on the radio is really good, way better than whomever the replacement was the last few days. I loved Paciorek's joke about he was so slow, if he got into a race with a pregnant woman, he'd come in third.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 15, 2010 -> 01:59 AM) We now have the most boring team in MLB. At least the Royals have a new manager, and the Orioles have their minor league pitching depth, the Indians at least have all their youth from their trades of V-Mart, DeRosa, Sabathia, Cliff Lee, etc. How do you not go the pen? There's just no sense of urgency to actually win games, especially considering the fact that the Twins are losing. At least Peavy and Danks are enjoyable to watch start games. Sadly, Beckham and Quentin have become tedious to watch hit instead of exciting.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 15, 2010 -> 01:57 AM) Its time for Guillen to go. A 43 year old DH who can't hit. This is something that even the most drunken relative of Vizquel playing Xbox wouldn't think of. If the Sox get swept this weekend, you're going to start to hear Ozzie's name being thrown around as on the hot seat. I heard from another person today that him and KW have a serious rift.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ May 15, 2010 -> 01:58 AM) This is so frustrating to watch, it really is. But I'm not sure what was expected with such a joke of a lineup we have. It's reached the point where if we lose games, I'd rather just have the teams in front of us win. This team has shown absolutely zero ability to be even a .500 team, so might as well kill all hope sooner than later.

Trade him sooner than later!

QUOTE (jphat007 @ May 15, 2010 -> 02:54 AM) We are a bad, bad team. I hope everyone that ever disliked the long ball and wanted more speed and bunting on the team turn their fan card in and go watch WNBA games. Nice range Teahen.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 15, 2010 -> 02:54 AM) Our abortion of an offense can't muster duck snorts. Congrats Ozzie. Vizquel as your DH, what the f*** did you think was going to happen. Well, Vizquel did have a duck snort last inning.
