Holy cow, our 4th error of the game. It will only get uglier as we go to Oakland tomorrow.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 24, 2005 -> 08:04 PM) Way to work the count... That should go for the entire team today after the first inning. They had Bautista on the ropes in the first inning, but a terrible AB by Uribe bailed him out (not to mention he got to face Timo in that inning).

Timo continues to show why he doesn't deserve to be on the roster.

QUOTE(quickman @ Apr 24, 2005 -> 08:00 PM) your right I don't mind spelling guys for a rest, but this lineup blows. Way too many bench players at one time. With no offense and a bullpen that is taxed its going to be very tough to win this game. No s***, it's like Ozzie went into this game thinking they can win it 1-0 or 2-1. Hernandez gives up a ton of runners, so that's not as likely if someone like Buehrle is on the mound. Honestly, how many other teams do you see play 4 reserves in the same game? I know A.J. is banged up, so that's fine. But no need to have everyone else out also. Everett's been in a funk lately, but he's still easily one of our top 3 hitters.

2 hard hit balls for the Sox the entire game. Konerko's liner and Uribe's DP ball.

Great defense by our reserves that inning. I'm so happy we have 4 bench guys playing in the field today. Feels almost like a spring training game where only half of the team travels.

God damn Willie. He got away with being lazy on a grounder a few innings ago, and did the same thing there.

Like I said before the game, I can't stand our 3rd game of the series lineup. Unbelievable amount of below average players on the field at one time is never a good thing.

Can we please release Timo? He's just a terrible player.

Bautista has it in cruise control right now. We stopped being patient, and his stuff is too good to just swing at everything.

Anyone else feel like we need to implement more hit and runs, etc? We're now on our 4th straight game of not hitting a homer. Yet, we get a leadoff single by Willie, and the only time he tries to steal is on a 3-2 pitch with one out.

Timo is sooooooo slow. He's even slower with less range in the outfield this season than he was last season.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 24, 2005 -> 05:26 PM) Prediction of the Day: Derrick Brooks will be one of the starting OLB's for the Bears on opening day. Has there been any rumors of this kind?

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 24, 2005 -> 05:39 PM) Ramon Martinez was very very good back in his days with the Dodgers. I'd take him in his prime (healthy) over anyone on this current staff aside from Mark Buehrle. Classics had on Ramon's 18 strikeout game last year. He had amazing stuff and just terrific control. If he didn't have some serious injury problems, I think he could have had a HOF career like Pedro has had.

McPherson is basically a Brooks clone. A great potential pick by the Saints there.

Orton was a product of Purdue's offense. In games where the opposition took away the short pass, he was bad. I just think that in the 4th round, you should pick guys who can develop into big time players, and not be likely career back-ups. A guy like McPherson would have given us another dimension. I would have much rather seen Mike Williams, J.J. Arrington, and McPherson instead of Benson, Bradley, and Orton. The Currie pick has been our best value pick so far.

Pod Harris Konerko (DH) Gload (1b) Rowand Timo Uribe Widger Crede I hate Ozzie's approach to the 3rd game of a series. There's no problem playing reserves, but you don't need to play them all in the same game. You don't see other teams doing this against us.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Apr 24, 2005 -> 05:26 PM) There are a handful of QB's more talented than Orton that went after him. Orton sucks. He has absolutely no upside, and I'm not sure he's any better than Krenzel (which is almost impossible to believe).

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 24, 2005 -> 05:17 PM) Did Losman go to Clemson? For some reason I thought he went somewhere else. Tulane for Losman

Currie is a very solid pick. I'd say he's a better all-around WR than M. Bradley is.

Shazor is listed as a safety on yahoo. Is he projected to be an OLB in the NFL?

Bautista has been bad his last two starts though.

I'm fully expecting a crazy lineup from Ozzie today. My prediction is: LF- Pods 2b- Harris DH- Everett 1b- Gload RF- Perez CF- Rowand SS- Uribe C- Widger 3b- Crede

The more I read about Benson's past, the more I dislike him. Seems like he would have got in a lot more trouble if he wasn't a superstar athlete, and the preferential treatment that comes with being that.

Great job by Marte!
