QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 07:40 PM) Paul will be fine, he's the least of my worries. We need to hope he doesn't have an Aramis Ramirez type of season from last year where he struggled so much at the beginning of the season when Lee was out. He needs to pick it up now, as this offense has struggled for far too long this year.

QUOTE(hi8is @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 07:39 PM) if he had erstad steal while mack. was up, he could had advanced to third with his grounder to first... then scored on konerkos pop up. Ozzie would rather have his #4 hitter try to bunt than to have his #2 hitter (who hits a ton of balls on the ground) try to create some offense with the hit-and-run.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 07:39 PM) Erstad is the only hitter we have hitting over .250 (not including injured players. Yet we think calling up a AAA player who is hitting around .250 is going to help us. We need to acquire a new hitter soon, as this lineup has no life in it.

Jeez....PK has been worthless outside of one game. He has more shoulder shrugs than hits this year.

More incredible contributions by our bench players. Ozzie really should try the hit-and-run more with Mackowiak at the plate.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 07:20 PM) Because the offense has anorexia, this season is over. I wish I could see something that would make me think we can win over 85 games this year.

They really do act like Erstad's family members by trying to make excuses for why he would do something bad. QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 07:18 PM) How was the stolen base call at second? He was safe...had a terrible slide though. He went on first move by Buehrle.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 07:14 PM) With everybody else being so bad, it is easy to forget how bad Crede has been. I think this is proof that he could never be a 3,4, or 5 hitter/the big hitter on any team. He's not getting on top of anything. Even when he hits it good, it's just a warning track fly ball. The only time he's hit line drives is on his 2 strike protect swing. Ha....pathetic all around. And kiss my ass Hawk....that's about his 10th mistake out there. QUOTE(3E8 @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 07:15 PM) Bad 0-2 pitch call That would be AJP's specialty.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 07:12 PM) Since Erstad is our best hitter right now (gasp), why not bat him third and put one of the lesser evils in the lead off spot, like Iguchi, Uribe (he's like our third best hitter right now), or Pablo. I am not particularly fond of the idea, but something needs to be done to shake things up. Something needs to be done, as the PK/AJP/Dye combo won't work.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 07:08 PM) Man, we are so horrible right now at the plate. can't move runners over, not hitting line drives, no walking, its getting down right sad. We have a guy that all he does is roll over and hit grounders to the right side, yet we have him square around to bunt. The fact Ozzie said he's going to play more smallball now with Thome out is a scary thought. Crede with an out in the air for the 500th time this season. Thankfully we didn't give him a new contract.

Shades of last year where batters can just plant their feet and swing as hard as they want against Buehrle's pitches. He's got to get that change-up low and away working again. Well, you won't see a worse AB than that by AJP. The fact he even tried to bunt in that position is so pathetic. I don't give a s*** about the L/R stuff....get him the f*** out of the 4th spot.

Buehrle got away with the high pitches as they were swinging past it earlier. Now, they're teeing off on these pitches.

Just pathetic....might want to keep the ball outside a little AJ. We suck

Good grief Buehrle....way to keep the momentum going.

So, does Sweeney get down the line faster than anyone else on the team?

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 06:53 PM) Ersty is definitely our best hitter at the moment. Without a doubt, him and Dye give us the best ABs.

Erstad!!!! Grandma Erstad just got a semi.

When they talk about someone's career stats against a pitcher, do they not include postseason games?

Congrats to Cintron for the hit. Kinda funny Hawk said he had that base stolen, as it looked like he had a terrible jump.

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 06:37 PM) Offense is looking stellar so far... yikes And it's not like we're hitting into tough luck. AJP in the 4 spot is sickening.

These at-bats are just amazing.

Buehrle's got a great high fastball going.

Wow, more disappointing plays by our infield. With such a slow runner at the plate, Crede played that way too quickly.

I wonder how many times this year Erstad has grounded out to the 2nd baseman and Konerko has struck out in the same inning?

So where does this lineup rank on the worst Sox lineup's over the last 5 years?
