Chasing ball 4....excellent. Does he swing a wiffle ball bat? He can't go on the DL soon enough. This 3 straight lefties in the lineup, when your manager won't ph, is about the dumbest lineup decision I've seen.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 07:15 PM) That's fine. But quote s*** I said. Don't make up s*** I didn't say. To be fair, I thought when you said the thing about Buehrle last year that you were trying to say he was having a better season up to that point than Santana.

Erstad facing a LHP? f*** you Ozzie. This team needs more Pablo.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 07:13 PM) Quit freakin posting s*** I didn't say. I never said I'd take Buerhle over Johan. NEVER did I say that in that thread last night. Do you have a reading comprehension problem? Pods over Sizemore? We all make bad proclamations sometimes.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 07:10 PM) A few feet? You need to watch the replay after the game. Not sure he could have caught it, but Erstad took way too long retrieving it. With a runner racing towards home, you need to show more intensity going after the ball.

QUOTE(oz615 @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 07:11 PM) + tomorrow is an automatic loss w/ CC on the hill I'm praying for snow

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 07:09 PM) Our defense now is laughable mostly Uribe and Gooch. Don't forget LF/RF

I honestly think Cooper stresses not throwing as hard in order to get movement or control. For some people it works, others, it doesn't. Sisco used to throw like 96 mph, and now he's throwing around 88 mph. Terrible defense this inning hurts. Oh well, we deserve to lose today. We got a gift win yesterday.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 07:06 PM) What exactly was Erstad "selling" as he was tip-toeing on the track? There were two outs. Ha, he did seem like the CF version of Pods.

Erstad looked pretty crappy on that fly ball. I thought Masset was supposed to throw 96 mph? I'm never trusting scouting reports on minor leaguers.

I'm not really that upset....even if we lose today, 5-5 is much better than I anticipated with this earlier schedule/pitching match-ups. Let's face it....if our main hitters struggle all season, we're going to win like 70 games. You can't keep on hoping that Uribe and Anderson will carry you.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 06:59 PM) I have a hunch Ozzie might be on his way out, he's due for one huge outburst this year that includes a racial slur. The thing is, I don't necessarily won't him fired I just wish he weren't so f***ing stubborn. It's funny, but I said this to my dad last night: If J. Jackson or Al Sharpton were gay, Ozzie Guillen would have been fired last year.

Please, please postpone the game tomorrow

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 06:56 PM) Send Anderson down, so at least he can get some ABs. Because when grinderstad is hitting 200 come June, maybe KW will want to make a change. Hell, might as well trade him. Ozzie's obviously not a fan of his, and we saw how that ended for McCarthy and Tracey.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 06:56 PM) Send Anderson down, so at least he can get some ABs. Because when grinderstad is hitting 200 come June, maybe KW will want to make a change. .200? That would require him to go on a hot stretch.

Ugh....I hate our manager

I can't believe Rich Hill and Paul Byrd are going to win the Cy Young.

QUOTE(SoxGovernment @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 06:52 PM) i think he just looks slow because he's so tall and he's making giant strides He's slow because he has very little range.

Wow, this is one of the worst offensive performances I've ever seen. Thankfully, we have three straight lefties now. Ozzie is a genius with this lineup.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 06:49 PM) Dye wasn't this slow last year, was he? Maybe he is just trying to avoid injury in his contract year, but that doesn't explain why he cant hit s***. Yes he was this slow in the outfield.

QUOTE(caulfield12 @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 06:49 PM) Maybe we should sign Boggs and Gwynn as co-hitting coaches. Milkman would love it if we signed Boggs.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 06:48 PM) ....and people want to kick his ass to the curb and send him to AAA. Actually, it's more projecting the difficulty he might have when it gets hot out and the ball is flying out of the Cell. It's all going to depend on the adjustments he makes.....as he does have a good history of making them.

QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 06:47 PM) He would be the single worst offseason signing we could make. He has DH written all over him. I agree, but we don't have to worry about him returning.

Nice catch Jermaine!

QUOTE(caulfield12 @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 06:44 PM) It reminds me a lot of Frank Thomas when he was in a funk...flares to the right side, groundballs pulled to SS. Erstad looks like Aaron Rowand down the stretch in 05, except from the left side. Fantastic comparisons
