I can't believe we let one of the slowest people in baseball get an infield hit because our s***ty 2b rushed the throw.

And we're really in trouble thanks to Iguchi and MacDougal.

MacDougal has a hard time throwing strikes to lefties sometimes.

Jeez Iguchi, you had more time than that. Such a terrible defensive player now.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ May 9, 2007 -> 02:10 AM) Where's our Matt Guerrier? Doesn't Guerrier always dominate us?

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ May 9, 2007 -> 02:07 AM) No. But a more interesting question is this: is there any doubt whatsoever that Podsednik is a better ballplayer than Anderson? In all honesty, the Sox would be best suited if they tried to settle that argument going head-to-head in AAA. QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ May 9, 2007 -> 02:07 AM) While all of that is true, Brian Anderson isn't in any danger (at this point in time) of taking Sweeney's job. Podsednik, OTOH, is. It's a question that needs to start to be asked -- is Sweeney a better baseball player right now than Podsednik? Considering Pods pretty much won't be 100% for the rest of the season -- Ozzie pretty much admitted as much -- is there any facet of the game that he's better than Sweeney at? Pods draws more walks and can get more steals, even though I think we all doubt he'll be effective on the bases after this latest injury.

That should be it for Javy. He pitched great, especially with his slider.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 9, 2007 -> 02:03 AM) Well because he is a young homegrown OF'er just like Brian. They are both top prospects. The comparison is inevitable. Ryan Sweeney's approach at the plate to wait on the ball and take hard ones into LF and breaking balls into RF is better than most of our lineup right now. I love watching this kid hit. We just have to get Sweeney to the point where when he drives it to LF, it's for a double and not a medium fly ball.

Crap, I didn't want anyone on base with Morneau up. Ozzie better get Aardsma or MacDougal up in the pen.

Anyone getting up in the pen?

Sweeney had a better approach on that offspeed pitch than anyone else.

QUOTE(Capn12 @ May 9, 2007 -> 01:54 AM) I'ma say it now. Scott f***ing Podsednik better not come back and play in front of Sweeney. The kid has talent, and an actual approach at the plate. We have our allotment of grinders in the OF, Ozzie. Do the right thing. Sweeney's actually faster down the line than Pods is.

Time for Vazquez to shut them down and not let the 6th inning fear him. Great job by Vazquez avoiding the walk.

I didn't know Cintron has surgery on his feet also? He seemed much quicker last year.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ May 9, 2007 -> 01:48 AM) I really did, I was typing that up before Crede's hit.

Well done Crede...a liner! Hate to say something bad, but Hawk saying Ozzie called for a hit-and-run with 2 outs, 2 strikes is quite stupid.

Bad managing by Gardenhire to pitch to AJ.

Wow, great 2 strike swing by AJP!!! Way to pick Dye and PK up.

Dear Sox Hitters: Bonser has offspeed pitches

QUOTE(rafacosta @ May 9, 2007 -> 01:39 AM) A lot of people b**** about Erstad..but Dye is killing us! Come on, no one b****es about Erstad right now offensively.

It's scary to think Dye actually thought he'd get a 3-2 fastball there.

Dye is so bad right now.

FWIW, a post I had complimenting Erstad on his hustle out of the box didn't go through. Good grief, Dye has chased so many 3-1 pitches this year.

Quite the break there. Need our middle guys to get Ozuna in.
