QUOTE(santo=dorf @ May 5, 2007 -> 04:34 AM) At the end of the broadcast did it sound like Hawk was tired of making excuses for this team and is legitimately fed up like some of us have been for the past 2-3 weeks? Absolutely....he's a homer, but he's not a total idiot. It's way too early for this team to give up the way it has.

QUOTE(greg775 @ May 5, 2007 -> 04:31 AM) Attendance will be affected if the team continues to harbor no offense. KW should have thought about that before b****ing this offseason about the salaries of players.

QUOTE(greg775 @ May 5, 2007 -> 04:30 AM) I sure do Fathom. YOu were right. No question. There was absolutely no way we could replace Thome with our pathetic depth. How hard is it to find a lefty DH who can hit RHP? Go find some loser in the Frontier League, and they'd be better than what we have recently.

QUOTE(greg775 @ May 5, 2007 -> 04:29 AM) The Sox should try to make an out. Then they might get a hit. Remember what I said when Thome went out? The thing is, we can't expect him to be 100 pct for a long time with that type of injury.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ May 5, 2007 -> 04:26 AM) Jenks Floyd

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ May 5, 2007 -> 04:23 AM) You go ahead and keep dreaming about how awesome it would be to develop someone else's problem minor leaguer, I'll take the established guy still contributing and moving him at a better market price. Isn't this KW's philosophy?

People still don't want to trade Boone Logan? I never thought that I'd feel the season is over by the start of May.

Here's the sad part: we face righties for the next week or so, and we have no one at all to add to this lineup to make it more dangerous. Hell, Jacque Jones would be our most dangerous hitter right now.

We might be the slowest, most unathletic team in history.

QUOTE(Linnwood @ May 5, 2007 -> 04:18 AM) really enjoy the Angles broadcasters talking about how the Halos are a smallball team vs. the Sox who do nothing but hit home runs.... It's very true though.

It keeps getting worse and worse.

We do such a good job at protecting the plate. I hope Walker's family is packing up their stuff. If KW and Ozzie don't fire him, I hope they all lose their job.

Another fantastic AB by Iguchi. Fascinating that he has only 3 swings this year that resulted in an RBI.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ May 5, 2007 -> 04:10 AM) ...and his major league stint was comparable to Anderson's. If you are a GM of an opposing team, would you trade an effective pitcher who is signed to a fair deal over the next 2.5 years for only a Brian Anderson with wrist problems and crappier clubhouse attitude? I didn't think so either. I would, but that's to free up money for either Johan Santana, ARod, or a trade for Miguel Cabrera.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 5, 2007 -> 04:07 AM) Its funny they are worried about Hall being about to throw down to second with his arm. What does it matter. AJ has a non-injured arm and cant throw anyone out and our pitchers dont hold people on. As long as he can deliver the ball back to the pitcher bring him on. At least he can hit lefties, and hopefully allow AJ to rest. It seems that Molina is here only to be an emergency catcher.

Ha, their catcher is stealing off of our lefty pitcher. This isn't even fun to watch.

QUOTE(hitlesswonder @ May 5, 2007 -> 04:03 AM) Milledge's AAA park is a terrible hitting park (is it Newark?). I remember reading an article about minor league park effects, and adjusted for that his numbers were significantly better. Milledge is a much prospect than anyone in the Sox organization. And if he pans out, you're getting a very charismatic, marketable player. We're going to need an attraction after Pods leaves and takes all the fat, teenage girls with him.

Ozzie continues to show impeccable timing in regards to pulling his starters.

QUOTE(hitlesswonder @ May 5, 2007 -> 03:55 AM) Really? I would trade Danks. It's not like he's Liriano or Verlander. He has a Buehrlesque fastball. He's doing OK as a 22 year-old 5th starter in the AL, but I don't see any reason why he should be untouchable. Wow

QUOTE(Capn12 @ May 5, 2007 -> 03:57 AM) Can I profess to all of you just how bad this team really is right now? If Thome can't return and be healthy the rest of the way, the BP prediction looks very possible. QUOTE(santo=dorf @ May 5, 2007 -> 03:58 AM) so what can we expect from him if he does regain his form? Ah who cares, let's just move him for a single minor leaguer because he costs money. Make it two minor leaguers, and it's the Garcia debacle all over again. Haha, even DJ is saying Contreras is still on the mound to try and get a win. Nothing like adding 20 pitches to the pitch count for no reason.

Escobar goes 7-1 with no command and not a good splitter.

I can't tell you how proud KW should be of this team. Quite the collection of talent. If we were only in the NL, we'd be fine due to not needing a DH.

Please, please, please release Cintron. I'd rather see Andy Gonzalez.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ May 5, 2007 -> 03:51 AM) Nasty pitch. 6 IP, 6 H, 2 BB's, 6 K's 1 ER Only one of those hits was extra bases, and that was Grinderstad's f***up. I'll take that line all the time. Am I the only one who remembers how unhittable Contreras was until June last season? We all do, but that's why we're concerned with his decline in stuff. Hopefully he's found the release point on his forkball.

QUOTE(caulfield12 @ May 5, 2007 -> 03:47 AM) Well, LaRussa had a DUI in March and his player died and the team is controlled by a brewery....interesting soap opera this season has become for the Cardinals. Think their fans are happy with Jocketty copying KW this offseason? No, I don't think they are happy. They shouldn't be.....that team is brutal. I wish we would have signed Preston Wilson though.
