QUOTE(Hideaway Lights @ Jun 1, 2007 -> 01:34 AM) neither yet, although the idea behind this offseason's moves was absolutely baffling at the time, and the results are not surprising. Well said....this crap started during the offseason. KW isn't a good enough manager to try and build a WS contender AND get younger during the same offseason.

So now the battle cry will be: wait until July when Erstad and Pods are back!

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jun 1, 2007 -> 01:25 AM) What's your problem with Vaz? That was a good extension considering what pitchers with worse stuff and track records got this offseason. And he is a good pitcher. Plus, Erstad has out-played Young this season..... Oh good grief, please tell me this is sarcasm.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jun 1, 2007 -> 01:26 AM) There are only two more reasons to watch Sox baseball at this point, for me, besides the obvious "It's Sox baseball!" And one of them is gone in July. - Development of Danks - Thome's chase for 500 homers

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jun 1, 2007 -> 01:21 AM) I'm sure Anderson will step right into the lead off position and be a leader on the team, both in the field and at the plate. Personally, I'd like to see him get the chance again. If he shows no improvement at all this year, then you move him during the offseason. I don't feel like seeing Sweeney break his bat and ground out 3 times a game right now.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 1, 2007 -> 01:21 AM) Erstad walking better already, with the help of crutches. No bone damage, but ligament damage. He'll be out 2 months then, and likely won't be 100 pct the rest of the year. What middle infielder can we call up now?

Jermaine Dye and Mark Buehrle would be possibly the two best players available for a buyer.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jun 1, 2007 -> 01:16 AM) fathom, I think you need to keep track of games or get rid of that silly signature. Ozzie's been quite good this year. He was good the first month, outside of that A's game. He's been miserable over the last few weeks, and his s*** off the field seems to have done nothing but made us even more lifeless.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 1, 2007 -> 01:13 AM) Why do I smell Mark Buehrle for Lastings Milledge and some middle of the road pitcher? If we can make that middle of the road pitcher someone decent, then I'd have no problem. Of course, KW has to know that Buehrle won't be back then. Lastings is the type of high ceiling athlete we severely lack, and he also has the charisma to spark a team.

QUOTE(Allsox @ Jun 1, 2007 -> 01:12 AM) The good thing is Buehrle upped his trade value for the firesale that's coming sooner than later. If we lose with Buehrle on the mound, I'd rather it be because he pitched bad.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jun 1, 2007 -> 01:12 AM) are you whining about the series in minnesota, or are you suggesting Buehrle should've been pulled? Making fun of people who were complaining that if we used Jenks last night for "two" innings, he wouldn't have been able to pitch tonight.

It's a great thing that we preserved Jenks for tonight!!

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jun 1, 2007 -> 01:01 AM) lol. So we admit he can't manage in-game...but WHERE THE f*** are his off the field tactics that are so great? We're a 100 million dollar payroll team that has played at a pace around 59 and 72 over our last 131 games.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 1, 2007 -> 01:02 AM) You can hurt an ankle and not put weight on it initially and then recover quickly enough if there's nothing torn or anything. Didn't Hawk say there's no pain now?

Thanks for the motivation Ozzie....you're doing a great job with this team this year.

QUOTE(klaus kinski @ Jun 1, 2007 -> 12:57 AM) Right now, who'd want Crede? Check out Chone Figgins stats, and then ask again.

I'm sure glad Iguchi took that weak-ass swing on the 3-1 count. A walk there would have been brutal.

QUOTE(Top Notch @ Jun 1, 2007 -> 12:56 AM) When are we going to start dismantling this team? During the offseason after the 2005 World Series.

You know it's bad when I hold Kenny Williams more accountable for this team sucking than Ozzie Guillen.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 1, 2007 -> 12:52 AM) We can't really trade Crede or Iguchi right now though. We have to hold onto them until July, hopefully they get hot and as the deadline approaches teams get desperate and overpay. Because to trade them now would be the Cub thing to do, since we'd get nothing back. As much as we overrate their prospects, the Angels might get desperate for a 3rd baseman.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jun 1, 2007 -> 12:52 AM) I don't think it's "officially" summer yet. Perfect storm, too, with Podsednik, Erstad and Thome all missing a good amount of time. And Iguchi, too! Perfect storm! I'm shocked, literally shocked, that Pods, Erstad, and Thome all got hurt this year.

He's one of the few guys I felt really cared out there. For his sake, I hope he didn't tear his achilles.

Wow....good thing we talked in the press about trying to go inside to Thomas during this series.

Heard about that Erstad injury on the radio. I hope Erstad is ok....but shame on you KW. Joe Crede, in my opinion, is the player that we need to move now.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ May 31, 2007 -> 11:59 PM) Grinderstad is slugging .319 in the month of May (not including today.) AND HE HAD A 13 GAME HITTING STREAK. Pathetic Yep, and he's going to continue to play everyday. The scary part is he's been making his fair share of mental mistakes also in the field or up to the plate.
