I never thought I'd see the day where I wish Pods was back. Yes, Jerry Owens is that pathetic.

Good grief, that's pathetic.

QUOTE(quickman @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 01:38 AM) Crede had a nice year last year and I rate him as one of the better 3bman in all of baseball. Doesn't mean he is great, just tha the is in the top percentage. Still our org blows. Can you imagine any possible way this team can be competitive over the next 3 seasons?

Nice pitch by Contreras....but it's disturbing that he's only reaching 89 mph when he leans back and tries to throw it past someone.

So now that there's rumors that Dye has some injury problems, are PK, AJ, and Uribe the only opening day starters we have that's been healthy all year?

QUOTE(quickman @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 01:32 AM) i thought they were all going to be stars? ! I think Fields will eventually put up Crede numbers...but of course, Crede isn't an all-star. Alex Cintron really needs to be DFA'd. Hey Flash....where's our Rich Hill?

How has no one lost their job so far? It's a miracle if we score more than 3 runs in a game these days.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 01:31 AM) Did both Green and Alou get hurt when I wasn't paying attention? Yes, and Chavez got hurt also.

QUOTE(quickman @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 01:30 AM) Of course, this is the same crap every year. As I mentioned in another thread who is going to play the field. I suspect we do not like to pay our scouts. We drafted just a ton of pitchers. this whole thing is coming apart in every aspect of the organization. Its amazing at how fast its happening. KW will make a move very soon even though he claims he won't trade just to trade. he will in fact do that to shake things up. This is a nighmare. Look at the team we have on the field tonight, combined with who's in our bullpen. What a disgrace. This team won't even finish .500. The lack of depth in our system is killing us with all these injuries.

So, from watching Molina, Owens, Sweeney, and Fields so far.....do we teach our prospects to ground out every at-bat?

QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 01:26 AM) alex cintron is garbage. he's a problem. can't field. definitely can't throw. what is the point? We have no other back-up SS. We'll keep trotting him out there, but then make excuses for him that he's hurt. Hell, even last week, they took an MRI to make sure there wasn't any other damage they weren't aware of. QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 01:27 AM) I like the fact we picked up pitchers. We will get plenty of infielders back when we trade Buerhle in about a month. The only thing I would of liked was Porcell. We really should trade Dye to the Mets.

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 01:25 AM) MLB went to 5 inning games? Did you intentionally neglect to read when I said "shaping"?

QUOTE(quickman @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 01:24 AM) You don't like the way we drafted? Nope...we have more pitching depth in the minors than offense, yet we don't draft a single offensive player? The first 3 pitchers we took were fine....the last two were horrible picks. Meanwhile, the Tigers gave themselves a great chance to have an incredible rotation in a few seasons.

Shaping up to be another terrible baseball day. Sox lose, Cubs win, Tigers/Indians win....combine that with an average draft, and I'm looking for a positive today.

One of the worst at-bats I've ever seen from Konerko. It's really starting to set in how bad this team is.

Why are so many of our hitters chasing his knuckle curve?

BTW, it's been 15 games since Iguchi had an extra base hit (he has been hitting better lately).

Contreras is making some terrible 0-2 pitches this inning with his forkball. It's resembling the forkball he was throwing at Minnesota, where it's just a floater.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 12:57 AM) We all know you aren't the biggest Ozzie backer, but how in the hell do you blame him for this ever so talented team we have on the field? It doesn't matter....you can have 9 AAA players on the field, but if they look and play like they don't care, then that's the manager's ass to. Everyone used to say how great of a motivator Ozzie was. Well, it's time for him to do something to get this team going. For starters, can we just stop trying to make sure our leadoff hitter has no skills except for running? Owens is a terrible MLB hitter, yet we keep making sure he gets the most at-bats out of anyone. I wonder how many two strike hits we can allow. Will this be the 3rd straight game where the Yanks put us away with a big inning?

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 12:55 AM) I honestly don't remember a team as lifeless as the current one, at least not in my lifetime. And our bullpen is just plain bad. At what point does our manager start getting called out for how lifeless this team is?

I hate watching this offense. Owens might be the worst hitter out of everyone we've called up in the past few years (not counting Molina, who should have never been above A ball).

Where does this lineup rank among the worst the Sox have put on the field in the last 10 years?

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 12:50 AM) Adam Russell had an ERA of 6 plus in the MAC. And Danny Wright was like 1-18 in his career at Arkansas.

5.87 ERA as a soph? Must be some amazing competition.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 12:46 AM) casey crosby just taken by detroit Good for them....drafting like they want to win.
