QUOTE(CYGarland @ May 21, 2006 -> 08:43 PM) PR for AJ Why?

QUOTE(JimH @ May 21, 2006 -> 08:40 PM) You couldn't be more wrong. Punch and Judy Jerry Hairston Jr. is the last guy they'd hit if they were tyring to send a message. Ozzie will be the first one to say the beat themselves, assuming they lose this game. He doesn't play those types of games. The Sox have had issues with Hairston twice in the past (Loaiza and Colon). I remember hearing from someone associated with the team that they thought he was a whiner. I agree that the Iguchi play wasn't intentional, but that sure looked to be right at him. Also...Ozzie wasn't retaliating for yesterday....that was for today.

Does anyone know what our record is this season leading after 6 innings, compared to last year?

Cliff Politte....away, away, away. Our bullpen is awful!

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ May 21, 2006 -> 08:38 PM) DO we always lose the SUnday games against the CUbs? Only after we win the first two games at home.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 21, 2006 -> 08:37 PM) No way Politte was trying to hit Hairston. His reaction after doing it was one of disgust, at himself. It just ran in on the guy. I think it was good acting. That looked as blatant as possible.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ May 21, 2006 -> 08:36 PM) Whatever. Its one game. We thoroughly DESTROYED them the two previous games, and its not like they beat us. We beat ourselves with dumb mistakes. I'll let them have one or two games out of the six, or else it's not exciting to watch. GO SOX GO! I'll gladly sweep them by a score of 10-0 every game.

That first pitch to Pierre has been a strike on every Sox hitter with 2 strikes today.

There you go Politte! It's too bad Zambrano doesn't bat, as I'd like to see him get hit in the head.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ May 21, 2006 -> 08:32 PM) I think Valetin's leadership skills were vastly overrated. Just as how his poor defense was overrated (in that, he wasn't as bad as people said).

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ May 21, 2006 -> 08:31 PM) Are you guys really serious about this "embarrassing" bulls***? Holy hell, get over yourselves. Upsetting, yes. But embarrassing? Well said.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ May 21, 2006 -> 08:30 PM) Dempster has a history of letting runners on base in the 9th. We just need to capitalize on that. He's a fastball/slider/splitter pitch.....we have no chance against someone like that.

If we get 2 quick outs, a Cubs hitter should get one in the back. Also, if Ozzie lets Uribe bat in the 9th, someone should jump into the dugout and punch him.

SWING THE f***ING BAT! Absolutely pathetic plate presence by half of our hitters today.

Even Dusty knows that you have to have your outfielders playing deep enough to take away extra base hits.

Good AB by Thome.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 21, 2006 -> 08:20 PM) Exactly, he sure as hell didn't pitch over the error. His inability to throw an offspeed pitch for strikes hurts. That pitch that Barrett got a hit on was awful.

The good news is that we face Zito tomorrow.......yuck

QUOTE(CYGarland @ May 21, 2006 -> 08:19 PM) Our defense was HORRIFIC today Juan Uribe having a legendary game.

This ump continues to suck.

QUOTE(Dan @ May 21, 2006 -> 08:17 PM) BA would've read that ball and had an easy out. i knew we shouldve started Brian today but noooope nobody listens. We needed all the offense we can get in the lineup vs Zambrano. However....Anderson should have come in for defensive purposes.

QUOTE(Brian @ May 21, 2006 -> 08:16 PM) That ball was a rocket slicing away from CF. I highly doubt it. In that situation, outfielders have to be playing no extra base hits. Mackowiak took a terrible route on that play.

QUOTE(Brian @ May 21, 2006 -> 08:14 PM) Not to mention the amount of people who say Cotts is better against righties than lefties. I thought his numbers are reversed this season.

QUOTE(ShoeLessRob @ May 21, 2006 -> 08:14 PM) Hahah wow good attitude, do you see the cubs bullpen, we can f*** them up. Cubs have one of the best bullpens in baseball.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 21, 2006 -> 08:13 PM) You guys are constantly screaming about not bringing in Jenks until the start of the 9th, can't have it both ways. This is Uribe's fault. And Cotts' fault for not being able to get Jones out. No, I want the closer brought in to face righties when your 4 outs away from the win. Even Jenks said he likes to pitch in those situations. It's not a big deal though...our defense continues to piss away games.
