fathom

Damn, another foot, and that's off the wall.

Angels really should walk CQ.

What speed by the #2 hitter! Ozuna really should go in to run for him.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ May 16, 2008 -> 05:51 AM) Nice job Dotel, GET A RUN PLEASE. I want to see Thome bat vs K-rod. I think he might go up there guessing first pitch offspeed pitch.

QUOTE (rangercal @ May 16, 2008 -> 05:51 AM) regardless, http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/stats/fieldi...umn=fieldingPct Like I said, the fielding stats for him are worthless due to the official scoring luck he's had.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ May 16, 2008 -> 05:50 AM) Well the fact he has lot a step with the glove due to age won't change, and neither will his awful career .719 OPS and mediocre .320 on base percentage lifetime that we have hitting leadoff (although that's not OC's fault). People don't realize he's 10 months younger than Jermaine Dye.

QUOTE (rangercal @ May 16, 2008 -> 04:48 AM) wow. it's mid-May. I guess there is no hope for Ryan Howard or Prince Fielder either. Ocab is solid with the glove and I am sure he will get to his career averages before the year is over, relax. Ryan Howard's up to 9 homers, and IIRC, he's always been a late starter. OC has not been good with the glove so far. He's got some very favorable official scoring, or else he could have 5-7 errors.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ May 16, 2008 -> 04:48 AM) I'll say 3rd basemen errors top all three of those categories. How dare you, he might get a few singles during the series and share a hug with Aaron Rowand.

QUOTE (Wanne @ May 16, 2008 -> 04:46 AM) Is there really any reason to sign OC after this season?!?....no. I'll take Juan over this dude any day of the week. Absolutely not...if he signs with the Sox during the season, it's for the sole reason that he's worried his stock has dropped so much. Let him play out this year, and then pray the Giants sign him to replace Vizquel. Take the two compensation picks, and beat yourself up that the Astros wouldn't give you Pence after the 2006 season.

Assuming Uribe is out this weekend, who gets more hits in San Fran: our first basemen, our second basemen, or the pitchers?

Fantastic overall game for Mr. Cabrera, he's been so impressive this season. I'll never understand why the Sox always try to steal with 2 strikes. It's a great way to distract the hitter.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ May 16, 2008 -> 05:43 AM) Yeah, his slugging percentage has actually somehow gone DOWN in that time. Singles don't make up for game changing error after game changing error. I could only imagine the outrage if a certain player on the DL in the minors had 4 game changing errors.

QUOTE (zenryan @ May 16, 2008 -> 05:41 AM) 40 games into the season and Ramirez still has that long ass swing. way to do your job Walker! So you're saying that pulling a slow, offspeed pitch over the 3rd base dugout isn't good hitting, and you're not the next Gary Sheffield? The reason Gary Sheffield was so good was that he could take that same swing, and keep it fair.

I can't believe Darren Oliver just made our hitters look so feeble. Ramirez better try to steal against this pitcher. Dear KW...please find a 2nd baseman if Uribe has to go on the DL. The Soriano/Sheffield player with a .300 OPS won't do.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 16, 2008 -> 05:39 AM) Was it hot this afternoon in Anaheim? Yes

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ May 16, 2008 -> 05:37 AM) You've been around here long enough to know that it's his defense that's causing people to post that stuff.

Nice eye by Swisher...hit it high and let it fly Ramirez.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ May 16, 2008 -> 04:35 AM) He's hitting over .320 in his last 10 games. How is that possibly terrible? Crede, of all the people in our lineup, is who you are complaining about? Give me a f***ing break people. Game threads are f***ing unbearable. Because his defense has been horrible!! I don't think anyone has said much about his bat being bad.

QUOTE (BearSox @ May 16, 2008 -> 05:31 AM) so freaking what. He had a good game monday. Besides that, he's been pretty worthless. His defense cost us a lot of runs on Monday.

Well, just need to scratch out another run. Ramirez was awfully close to not being on the base on that throw.

Super....I bet he'll let Dotel face Kotchman now.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ May 16, 2008 -> 04:26 AM) you could argue that all 3 runs scored by the angels so far in this game, wouldn't have been scored if routine plays were made our defense just isn't very good beyond 1B, and 2B IMO 2b and LF. Konerko's D has been miserable this season.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 16, 2008 -> 04:25 AM) I'm pretty confident we will lose now. Sorry to be negative. It's ok, I'd bet 90 pct of the people on here think the same. This team is finding new and exciting (actually, incredibly boring) ways to lose.

QUOTE (stretchstretch @ May 16, 2008 -> 04:24 AM) and that's where SPEED wins ball games!!!! PK hits hit triple bound chopper that half the league would have beat out, they hit a routine backhander and beat it by 3 steps Crede gives TWO Games away!!!! on routine plays!!!!! Actually, if they lose, this will be four games.

And there's another terrible error for Mr. Crede. I hate this team's defense.
