QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 02:41 AM) Well I cant wait to hear the excuses from Guillen. it was cold, it was a bad night. The ball was only warm for the Rangers. the hitters are close. whatever The scary thing is that your boyfriend will never get fired during the season.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 02:37 AM) Which is why I have pretty much stopped caring about the whole Anderson/Ozzie saga. This team has MUCH bigger problems right now. Kind of symbollic of the issues we have though. The Erstad debacle hurts this team, as well as Ozzie needing to have his "speedster" at the top of the order. There was no excuse for us to bring Pods back this year. He's an oft-injured player who can't play well when coming back from injury.

QUOTE(DrunkBomber @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 02:39 AM) They lost Sandy Alomars cell phone number? I'd take him over Molina.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 02:37 AM) You know what's sad? Those two are better than two-thirds of our healthy, starting OF. Lofton especially... would've been a perfect choice for LF this year. Lofton will never play for the Sox again. He's told close friends he hated playing for the Sox, as he's a Cubs fan and felt like a traitor.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 02:37 AM) Well, atleast we know Molina is incapable of judging a strikezone or catching up to a 90 mph fastball. HE HIT .220 IN AA!!!!!!! How in the world does someone make a ML roster with that history.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 02:36 AM) My point still stands. Nobody cares about everyone's fantasy team. One of the reasons I don't play is because I don't want guys playing against the Sox on my team. That's funny, because that's my justification as well. I don't need something else to be entertained....I have the Sox on 162 times a year.

Any chance Anderson gets a plate appearance? And yes, Gustavo Molina is one of the worst players to ever make the Sox MLB roster.

QUOTE(zenryan @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 02:35 AM) ok, honest question. who sucks more, this team or Grossman? This team....at least Grossman performed well in the cold vs the Saints.

This team needs as much help as it can get on offense. Calling up Logan makes no sense. As Sunday's game showed, another offensive threat could give Ozzie more flexibility at the end, especially a righty hitter.

QUOTE(zenryan @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 02:30 AM) and we're 5-7 with DJ so I guess we need to call Ventura back and have him and Black Jack do the games. That would be pretty entertaining. I think we had a beastly record with the Pope in the booth during 2005.

I forgot how studly Logan is against MLB pitching. And people really don't want us to trade him if we can get something valuable for him.

We're 2-1 with Jack McDowell this year, and now we're 3-6 with Hawk.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 02:26 AM) what a surprise! Runner stranded on second! To be fair, PK at 2nd base shouldn't be considered someone in scoring position.

QUOTE(Fotop @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 02:19 AM) Don't know if this has been said, but I'm almost hoping we plunk somebody. That way, when Padilla does it during his start we'll get a bench clearing brawl. We all know Padilla will hit someone (probably AJ), might as well get a head start and spark the team. That would require Ozzie doing something more than talking. He talks a big game.

QUOTE(Sonik22 @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 02:17 AM) C'mon Aki there's no way the sox can win this so strike out the side and lower my team's ERA! Hopefully he'll tear his labrum.

QUOTE(chisox72 @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 02:17 AM) But, but, but....he's been part of our offensive explosion tonight!! Why the f*** does Slammy get a meatball on 0-2?? The guy is an idiot, he would have swung at anything! You have to appreciate the adjustments made by Rangers hitters tonight. Kinsler was seeing all inside fastballs, so he cheated in his 3rd AB and crushed one. Sosa's big double was after getting a steady diet of outside fastballs.

I thought their pitcher had nothing. Shame on me.

At least Jermaine is getting a nice show at the offense he'll be hitting in next year. If Erstad gets enough ABs this year, maybe we can have an outfield of Pods/Erstad/Sweeney.

QUOTE(Brian @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 02:15 AM) Told my buddy at the gym this afternoon that I GUARANTEED Sosa was homering tonight. Stuff like that always happens to us. Yep, I said that also probably due to the Garland/Thomas stuff.

How about someone show some balls and throw at Blalock here?

Haha, you have to be kidding me. A fastball to Sosa with 2 strikes? AJP is a terrible baseball player right now. At least Ozzie is happy now for Sosa.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 02:07 AM) I'll wait until May before judging this offense. Williams has assembled a World Series championship. Give him a chance. These are just two of the many excuses you'll hear if performances such as tonight continue. Both concerning the pitching and offense. We'll also hear: - Pods is the catalyst, wait until he gets healthy - This is the most talented team I've ever seen that hasn't hit their stride QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 02:08 AM) I'm not giving up yet but Erstad has to be released, Walker has to be fired, and Crede has to be benched or start hitting the ball into the ground before I'm putting any emotional energy into this team this year. The Yankees are going to need pitching!! Buehrle for Tabata....done I'll jinx him I'm sure, but I'm more confident with MacDougal on the mound than any other reliever Sox have ever had.

There is a bright side to this: if we're going to suck this year and not make the playoffs, it's better that the suckiness starts sooner rather than later so we can unload Buehrle and Dye and continue the rebuilding KW did last offseason.

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 02:04 AM) When was the last time they had an OF assist? Pre-ASB 2006? I have a very solid memory, and I don't remember any assists since Dye threw out someone vs the Twins during the middle of the 2005 season.

Our outfielders do a great job getting into throwing position. Why are we wasting MacDougal tonight?
