Wow, that was amazing hustle by Terrero. Time to get the job done Pods....no strike outs looking.

QUOTE(briguy27 @ Jun 24, 2007 -> 07:27 PM) I got a question. Let's say next year we are playing a lot of young guys. How good will we actually be? Terrible...in the 60-70 win range.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 24, 2007 -> 07:24 PM) Jose Contreras and AJ Pierzynski are your battery. He's safe at 2nd even with a pitchout. If everything is so impossible for this team, then why do we ever show up?

Time for Fields or Terrero to hit a homer.

Terrible job by AJ of framing that.

Way to be proactive Ozzie. Everyone in the world knew that Soriano would be going.

Might want to try a pitch out here.

Perfect time to put one in Soriano's ribs.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 24, 2007 -> 07:11 PM) My God, why bring up Erstad? What? 2 runs through 22 innings in this series. The s***ty thing is that Marshall has nothing today.

I think you can get Buccholz if you give the Red Sox a 72 hour window to extend Buehrle.

QUOTE(South Side Fireworks Man @ Jun 24, 2007 -> 07:04 PM) Thome is a one dimensional player--he hits rh pitching pretty well--that is, when he's not injured. He'd be the first guy I'd look to trade right now, before he gets injured again. He does us no good over the remainder of his contract if we're going into full rebuilding mode.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jun 24, 2007 -> 07:02 PM) What do you suggest? You damn well know Sweeney doesn't belong up here right now. You know it as well as I know it. You advocate it like I advocate it. It doesn't matter if he's not ready....you don't keep putting Andy Gonzalez out there. It's the same as playing Molina out there....if you don't have someone capable of playing a position, then go find someone else. And batting him 2nd is just ignorant.

Thome might be the worst slider in baseball. He gave the umpire no choice but to call him out.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 24, 2007 -> 06:58 PM) #1. Why is Andy Gonzalez on our roster? #2. Why is he starting? #3. Why is he hitting 2nd? Because our GM and Manager are idiots this season.

Unreal....what a stupid slide by Thome.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 24, 2007 -> 06:56 PM) i hate gonzo Good thing we have him batting 2nd.

Two very nice ABs for Pods today. QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 24, 2007 -> 06:56 PM) Podsednik will be back in 2008. Not a chance in hell

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 24, 2007 -> 06:52 PM) So when we try a hit and run, and it's a strike-em-out, throw-em-out, then it's still Ozzie's fault. Come on now. This is a bad team. Face it. It's not Ozzie's fault that the hitters cant hit and the bullpen can't pitch. It was a double play either way...at least with the hit-and-run, we would have been trying to spice things up. These guys are so lethargic out there....even my bff Pods said that. QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jun 24, 2007 -> 06:52 PM) I'm conflicted. This team is terrible and there's no way to blame Ozzie for it. But in this instance, it might've been best to have a hit and run. On the other hand, Podsednik+Gonzalez are such incapable ballplayers that that might've been a hit-and-run. Gonzalez did hit it to the right hand side, after all. I think that's the closest you've ever come to agreeing with me about a strategical error by Ozzie.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 24, 2007 -> 06:46 PM) Because DJ's word is the word of God now? Come on. You're trying to find any little reason to blame Ozzie for everything. You know it, everyone knows it. If we lose today, I find it hard to believe that we lost because we didn't try to steal or do a hit and run in the 1st inning. Jeez. GMAFB. All I was saying is that I'd like to see Ozzie be more aggressive in those few situations where we actually can be. When someone like DJ is criticizing Ozzie about something, then you know things are bad. You know why I blame Ozzie....cause this team sucks, and he's shown no ability to do anything to get things jump started again. Like my thread from two weeks ago, this would be the perfect time for Ozzie to step up and get things going in the right direction again.

Please no Crisp. He's expensive and sucks now. He looks to me like someone who benefitted from a little extra juice in the past.

QUOTE(briguy27 @ Jun 24, 2007 -> 06:44 PM) Rod Beck Such a stupid post. Our advanced scouts did a really nice job in telling our pitchers to give Soriano a steady diet of fastballs.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jun 24, 2007 -> 06:40 PM) I'd deal Bobby Jenks for Salty... So would I, but I can't see the Sox trading him. With all the reliever issues we have, they'll be hard pressed to trade their main reliever.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 24, 2007 -> 06:35 PM) I don't freaking care. This is probably the best pitcher to get traded at the deadline since Bartolo Colon and that is life when you have quite a few competing teams, with good upper level prospects, that are interested in making a deal. Any Braves package involves Sally PLUS some (and yes they would have to give him up to make a deal). I don't give a s***, if the Sox are dealing Buehrle they better get an assload because that will not only benefit the Sox by getting good value in the Buehrle deal, but it will also set the market high. Unfortunately for someone like Jermaine Dye the value is going to be very low. The club can only hope it gets some decent prospects for guys like Iguchi (and I said decent), Pyrzinski, Uribe and whoever the heck else they move. Colon had another year left on his contract, so there's no comparison.

Is Toby still sick? He might as well get the labrum surgery now.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 24, 2007 -> 06:31 PM) Get off his back already. Well, even DJ then mentioned that Ozzie hasn't been that aggressive this year, so are you going to tell him to get off of Ozzie's back? Maybe it's just me, but Gonzalez saw 5 pitches with Pods on base, and nothing was put on.
