I'll be so happy if he just makes contact.

I really hate the idea of bunting here.

That was a beautiful swing by AJ. If we're bunting here, it better be perfect. QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 02:07 AM) I would be shockingly happy with that. I was being serious in a good way.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 02:06 AM) Lefties are actually hitting .333 off of Myers this season according to Gameday. Which is of course...taunting me tonight, so that could be slightly off. Yeah, didn't know that. I had heard that his splits were big this year, so I figured it was the other way around.

Do what you do best, and hit into a 4-6-3.

It's real simple....if players are injured to the point that they're playing at 60 pct, then put them on the DL. Iguchi should have been on the DL already this year, and I have no clue why Cintron isn't on the DL either. If these players aren't communicating with Ozzie that they're injured, then we have a problem there also.

If they're bringing in the lefty here, Ozzie should let Hall bat.

PK finally sits on the curve, and hits a rocket. That was some nasty defense by Matsui.

QUOTE(caulfield12 @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 01:57 AM) The question is, how does trading Haeger, Floyd, Phillips, McCullough or Broadway net us even a MLB quality starter in the OF, SS, 2B or catcher? We won't even be able to trade any of these picks for at least a year...if we wanted to, and we can't really go out and trade Gio, Russell, Masset and De Los Santos, so what's left to trade? Why can't we trade Gio, Russell, Masset, and DLS? Those guys are not even close to being sure-fire MLB pitchers. If you can get an everyday player for them, you have to consider dealing them.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 01:55 AM) The philosophy of pitching is fine, but to take no position prospects today when that is a HUGE need for us, ugh. I have a bigger issue with the fact we didn't get any offensive talent in the Garcia trade. It pains me to see how well Taveras is hitting this year. QUOTE(TheOcho @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 01:56 AM) What is with all that crap on the field? How dare you refer to our team as crap.

QUOTE(quickman @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 01:52 AM) where is the pitching in the system? wasn't he on the projection board with andersen and sweeney? I think KW is the only person associated with baseball who thinks Owens should be playing in the majors. I've never heard anything positive from scouts about him.

Why are people so quick to dismiss that Ozzie is failing to motivate these players?

Super....3/4 of the way to a terrible baseball day.

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"?
