Can we please put Hall on the DL? There's no reason to keep him on the roster right now.

It's funny Mackowiak homered tonight, as this might be the weakest hitting Sox outfield in history.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 25, 2007 -> 01:17 AM) Floyd just threw a curveball that curved. That was a much better one. Something I noticed is he doesn't come close to finishing the pitch out of the stretch. He definitely short arms it.

We definitely have the market on 89 mph fastball starters in baseball.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jul 25, 2007 -> 01:12 AM) ozzie's always saying that uribe can carry a team. Has he ever done that? Is he referring to the equipment? Not since 2004, in which baseball was played in a different way.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jul 25, 2007 -> 01:11 AM) That's terrible for Fields to miss a flat 84 mph fastball. I don't know where the "cut" was that Hawk refered to. Fields really struggles with high fastballs so far in his career. That's one pitch I think he'll get better with.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jul 25, 2007 -> 01:06 AM) With no curve, Floyd has no chance against the team that has scored more runs than anyone in baseball. At least the slider is decent. His slider has been crushed so far tonight.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 25, 2007 -> 01:04 AM) Do we take the time to actually position our players to the way we are attacking the hitter. You are throwing in, on a fastball hitter who has quick bat speed. And we have our third baseman off the line. That would require coaching. The actual strategy this team shows has deteriorated in a huge way since Nossek left.

I love seeing Hall set up inside with a fastball to one of the best fastball hitters in history.

You know what cracks me up....we're trying to showcase Jermaine Dye for a trade, and we play him against one of the better righties in the AL but sit him against a rookie pitcher with an ERA above 20.

Floyd has one of the worst curveballs I've ever seen. Can we just fire the GM and Manager, and start over? This gets more embarassing every single day.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 25, 2007 -> 12:55 AM) my lord But Masset and Floyd looked awesome in the Arizona Fall League!

Maybe someone will take a chance on him, and we can trade him also. I want to face him right now!

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 25, 2007 -> 12:52 AM) f*** this Just call Floyd "she"...it at least will make you laugh.

Good grief, he's awful.

That 90 mph fastball down the plate is going to get demolished.

QUOTE(southsida86 @ Jul 25, 2007 -> 12:46 AM) What is very strange about that is that his fastball was hitting 91-94 for the first two batters and then magically dropped into the high 80s. Very troubling. I heard when we acquired him that he sucks out of the stretch, which in part is caused by his funky motion.

Hey Hawk...at what point is the team being lazy holding on runners become a coaching issue?

Floyd's stuff is rather average. The control on his curve is pathetic.

It's too bad....her recent bikini pictures were sensational.

QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ Jul 24, 2007 -> 05:07 AM) I don't care. The whole organization blows at developing players. Fathom, I've gotta ask you this. Could you have imagined a month ago us sitting here one week from the deadline and looking at the realistic possibility that the Sox make zero deals? There's still a lot of time for trades to be made. The ironic thing is that Iguchi is the one guy we need to trade the most, as we won't get any compensation if he leaves after this year. With the way this baseball year has been going, I'm a little scared to see what we'll actually get back in a trade. I could see the Sox trading Garland/Thornton for Cabrera and Ian Kennedy.

What's the chances they make all base coaches wear helmets now? Joey Cora should have been wearing a helmet last year, but that was for a different reason.

http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...-home-headlines This was the most predictable feud ever.

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Jul 24, 2007 -> 04:34 AM) Would you do Thornton for Geoff Jenkins, just asking? Jenkins is a FA after this year. That would be just about the worst trade we could possibly make.

Good grief Ozzie....just quit if you're not going to even bother managing.
