Pathetic AB for Iguchi. His head was so off of that ball.

How f***ing lucky can you get? He completely missed that ball, and it still hit his foot.

Here comes a likely hard grounder at someone.

With the wind howling out to right field, if our righty hitters don't try hitting the opposite way today, I'm not sure they ever will.

Super plays by Uribe!

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ May 19, 2007 -> 08:05 PM) Is that confirmed? That's what someone said in another thread. Can we pray for rain?

Strike 3....this ump sucks.

Here's some good news....Masset to start tomorrow.

So we changed it from Contreras to Masset? That's swell....this series is setting up nicely for the Cubs.

Not even a hint of a hit-and-run try with Erstad on first. QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 19, 2007 -> 08:02 PM) JD you are f***ing slow. This blows Vazquez is the last person I want on the mound with the wind blowing out. He'll nibble all day, and he doesn't exactly keep the ball down.

I hate our chances in a game where we need the offense to win it for us. Uribe's gone from looking great to looking terrible.

QUOTE(Brian @ May 19, 2007 -> 06:44 PM) Fields, Sweeney, McCarthy (I know, I know), Honel, Haeger. Honel was a bust

QUOTE(RX Bandits @ May 19, 2007 -> 05:53 PM) i disagree. Those bad moves were made early in his GM days. I think he has shown great ability to see talent and pull the trigger (ie mccarthy for danks). That wasn't a veteran for a prospect though. I've made no secret of my disgust for the Garcia trade, which is the type of trade we'll see if we go into rebuilding mode. QUOTE(RX Bandits @ May 19, 2007 -> 05:51 PM) i'd like to know who you guys want to lead this team that is available right now. c'mon, there is nobody really any damn good out there, and lets face it, ozzie has had back to back 90 win seasons. if you want to b**** about this year then i think a lot of it is on kenny. no lead off, bad CF, and really what is a lineup that is quickly getting kinda old. How come no one addresses the fact that Ozzie wants a team with a speedy leadoff hitter? If he didn't care about that, then maybe we'd have more of a leadoff hitter focused on OBP. Considering our 3/4/5 sluggers, a 1 and 2 hitter who can get on base at a high rate is a hell of a lot more important than being able to play the mythical Ozzieball.

QUOTE(South Side Fireworks Man @ May 19, 2007 -> 05:35 PM) KW has a good track record as Sox GM. And if they lose a couple of free agents, they can also sign a couple of free agents. I just hope the Sox can win today, because if this team ever loses two in a row again, some people here will be ready to throw in the towel again and clamor for a fire sale. My biggest concern with KW as a GM if we're going into rebuilding mode is that he has a bad history of trading veteran players for prospects.

QUOTE(RME JICO @ May 19, 2007 -> 04:40 PM) How so, all we hit are fly balls and pop ups, some of those should make their way into the bleachers. Marquis is a sinker baller (much better sink than he had last year when he was a pitching machine), Vazquez throws high fastballs. Also, Cubs have more power in their lineup right now than the Sox do.

Wind blowing out doesn't favor us today.

Hopefully Crede won't stub his toe and be out again.

QUOTE(beck72 @ May 19, 2007 -> 12:25 PM) Just what was the alternative to Podsednik in LF? How have those free agents done that were talked about--Roberts, Matthews, etc? Pods was worth the risk, IMO. Even if those guys have respectable numbers, signing one of those bums to long term deals would have been far worse than signing Pods to a 1 yr deal, even if Pods helps little in the 2nd half [which he should]. They are very likely to be considered overpaid soon. KW getting Erstad for the OF at least allowed the sox to give Sweeney a look. And Sweeney's a better option for 2007 and going forward than anything the sox could have picked up in the offseason. I disagree with this. I predict he'll be sent down in 2 days.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ May 19, 2007 -> 04:50 AM) If A.J. started at catcher, and the other team brings in their LOOGY for Thome, why wouldn't you pinch hit with Hall? Makes sense to me. All I know is that this isn't the last time we've heard about this situation with AJ/Hall. It's sad that Ozzie actually does the right thing by starting Hall today, and it backfires on him in the press. I can actually see why Ozzie said he's sick of the s*** he receives in the media. Of course, responding the way he does is just going to make it worse though.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 19, 2007 -> 04:45 AM) I don't really understand what you're getting at here. The Podsednik situation was a complete f***up, I'm pretty sure there's good reason to b**** about it. With the news today that he'll be out even longer than expected it just makes the whole thing even worse. How does someone slip and end up missing half the season? I guess it doesn't matter though, as we know how much of a mental midget he is dealing with getting over injuries when he's playing.

It's really too bad we couldn't trade Mackowiak for Brady Clark. We have to keep Cintron on the roster, as we need a back-up SS. I was thinking about this earlier, and the only bench player I want to see back next year is Toby Hall. We need him to back-up Konerko.

QUOTE(rangercal @ May 19, 2007 -> 04:43 AM) no, people are just taking b****ing to a new level. When we lose people b****, when we win people b**** less. This is the most pissed off fan base I have ever been a part of. Seriously though, the partpoker guy should take his affilate linked thread out of SLAM and insert an affiliate linked tampon thread, We've been saying this about Pods since the second we re-signed him. Even the people on this site that refuse to ever criticize KW or Ozzie were saying "don't worry, they signed him just to trade him". I guess us being the most pissed off fan base makes sense, as we have the most pissed off manager as well.

Our bench is terrible constructed. Our utility players don't have any power and are rather poor defensively. Terrero has no business being in the majors.
