QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 02:58 AM) in case anybody is looking for some good news: Brian Anderson had two more hits, including his fourth bomb, for charlotte tonight. He's hitting .338 -- almost as well as Dye. BMac struck out 11 to get the win. But he didn't really pitch well. Gave up 4 earned in 6 2/3 Sorry. You can return to corpseball. Thanks for the update. Anderson can't get here soon enough.

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 02:56 AM) We complained about tinkering with Manuel. It's pretty obvious there's a general lack of hitting on this team now, and no amount of tinkering can change that. Rowand batting 5th instead of Dye is like pick your poison. A major lineup move I want to see is Rowand batting 3rd against lefties. He destroyed lefties last year, and Everett is a very poor hitter vs lhp. So far, I know the results haven't been great with Rowand, but I guarantee he'll be hitting above .300 vs lefties by the end of the season.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 02:54 AM) That was a message. Pay attention and stop f***ing off. I will take you out no matter what. Good point, but how can we send the same message to Ozzie?

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 02:53 AM) Cubs won 3-2 f*** The Astros offense is absolutely pathetic right now. Half their starting lineup shouldnt be in the majors.

I'd like to see a totally new lineup tomorrow to try and get something going.

How many guys have we thrown out this year stealing? Seems like it's been maybe one or two.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 02:50 AM) diet pepsi with no caffeine? what they hell is hawk talking about? thought he only liked that with captain in it Hawk's getting stranger and stranger as the years go on. I was really embarassed by his reaction in Oakland on Wednesday.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 02:49 AM) Luis V cant pitch to righties, he is better against lefties. Now we have Marte who pitches better to righties and has problems with lefties. We all can see it, maybe someone can tell the manager to check the stats a bit. Ozzie doesn't seem to believe in lefty/righty matchups it seems this year.

Anyone else feel like we're overusing Marte and Vizcaino? Politte has earned the chance to pitch in close games.

Marte getting squeezed this inning. Makes up for the small zone Farnsy had last inning.

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 02:40 AM) And if he had hit that to someone, you would have complained he did not take the first pitch in a clutch situation Funny thing is that everyone got mad at me and some others when we said there were some serious problems with our team and our manager. However, everyone thought we were nuts because we were 16-4, how can this not be an incredible team? It's not even that we're not hitting homers, we're not getting any extra base hits. Our offense will suffer even more without Uribe, who's our most dangerous hitter against good pitching.

Honestly, why keep Timo if we're not going to use him in situations where he's supposed to be the man? It's not like Timo is going to ph for an infielder in this game.

This teams is pissing the living s*** out of me.

If Dye drives it to RF, Farnsy will supply the power.

I'm so f***ing sick of Dye taking first pitch fastballs down the plate.

We need a wild pitch.

If Timo's going to be on the roster, you might as well use him in golden situations.

PH for Dye here! He won't touch Farnsy.

f*** you Konerko. That was a great pitch to hit.

PK has no chance on a slider if Farnsy throws it here.

PK looks awful at the plate right now. Stop trying to hit homers every AB!

Kudos to Willie though for his play at SS so far. I'm proud of him.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 02:25 AM) I thought a small ball team would be fine against these types of pitchers :banghead whyyyyy? :banghead Because we're not playing smallball right now. Look at our lineup? Does that look like a team that can consistently score runs? I hate to be so negative, but our stretch of good luck seems to have ended, and it's back to reality. Our offense isn't good.
