QUOTE(RockRaines @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 06:35 PM) He is our best defensive CF'er I'm disagreeing with this especially after his loafing in the right center field gap today. He's just slow and apparently prone to boneheaded mistakes on the filp side, his reads have been damn good but his closing speed is just so mediocre.

Rotoworld: Good times.

Where exactly did I overreact again? Looks to me like I just listed some reasons as to why people have been b****ing around here. I don't know perhaps you just don't have any sort of rebuttal, it's alright you're not the first.

QUOTE(hitlesswonder @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 05:39 PM) Ozzie started Erstad against Sabathia before and Erstad's career numbers are good against Sabathia. I'd be surprised if Anderson starts tomorrow -- has it been announced? Not to argue, but I doubt Anderson is on the roster because Ozzie wants him. I'm pretty sure Ozzie wanted Terrero but Williams vetoed him. I think you have to blame Williams. His fix for CF and the non-problem of a #2 hitter was Darin Erstad. That's not a good fix when you've already committed to bad offensive player in LF. I think the roster was poorly constructed. Anderson rotting on the bench and Guillen being stubborn were separate thoughts, hence the structure of the sentence. It was silly for Anderson to make the club if he was not going to be used, I understand Ozzie wants nothing to do with Anderson so yeah, KW does have to share some of the blame for forcing BA on Ozzie instead of giving him Terrero to play with and Anderson some work in AAA to start the season. Of course Ozzie did bring this on himself for basically lying through his teeth all ST about some fictitious outfield competition.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 03:03 PM) soxtalk is close to doing the same for me with anderson...like gload...and mccarthy... Then it's not the board doing it to you, you're doing it to your damn self. How much of this bulls*** even has to do with Anderson or people thinking he's any good? Practically none. It has more to do with Erstad being a s***ty hitter who was just handed a job at the beginning of the season, Podsednik being a terrible defensive player, a young player being kept on the bench when he could be improving his game in AAA and Ozzie Guillen's stubborn nature, unwilling to make defensive replacements or pinch hit for his light hitting vets.

QUOTE(Hawkfan @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 04:27 PM) i don't think a pinch hit would have one the game for us today, but if you're talkin about that first and third situation, you gotta believe that a veteran like erstad can come through with at least a sac fly. i'm slowly starting to not believe it though That is such bulls***. Do you think it would have put the team in a better position to win? Would Pablo Ozuna have given the Sox a better chance of scoring than Darin (1-20) Erstad?

D-A-R-I-N

You butchered Erstad's first name.

They're now giving Iguchi an error. Bout f***ing time.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 02:43 PM) Man Soo has a better arm. Too bad he's in Korea.

AJ is currently doing nothing for this team.

QUOTE(TheOcho @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 02:37 PM) Are they expecting heavy or just flurries? 1-3 inches accumulating.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 02:28 PM) As I said before, Dye should just be left off the roster until the weather warms up. He is just as useless as he was to start the season in 2005. By 'start of the season' you mean April, correct? And he posted a 1.046 in April of last season. Your logic f***ing sucks.

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 02:21 PM) It seriously takes a special manager to put out a lineup with: 3 straight lefties, 3 straight righties. Regardless of who is pitching for the opposing team, what inning it is, who has success against who, etc. And he refuses to pinch hit for any of them to boot.

QUOTE(caulfield12 @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 02:19 PM) I think Ozzie basically said, I'm going with the veterans no matter what...if they're not getting the job done, it's June/July and the Sox are fading out of the race, then you see wholesale changes for more athletic players like Lastings Milledge. That logic is so compltely f***ed. He's sacrificing at bats and games at this point because he's in love with players over 27.

QUOTE(beautox @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 02:17 PM) 0-?? with how many Ks? 1-20, 6 K

God damnit I f***ing hate Guillen sometimes. I don't know what the f*** he's doing out there.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 02:10 PM) A few feet? You need to watch the replay after the game. I just watched it again on Tivo, you make it sound like it landed 20 feet away, he had a foot on the track when the ball landed.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 02:09 PM) Well of course. I'd expect most everybody here to say it. That does nothing to convince me. He wouldnt have gotten it. Why? The ball landed a few feet away from a slow tip toeing Erstad. I'm not really sure how he wouldn't have gotten to it.

f*** Erstad is slow.

Ugh this just sucks.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 01:57 PM) Hell, might as well trade him. Ozzie's obviously not a fan of his, and we saw how that ended for McCarthy and Tracey. I have a hunch Ozzie might be on his way out, he's due for one huge outburst this year that includes a racial slur. The thing is, I don't necessarily won't him fired I just wish he weren't so f***ing stubborn.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 01:53 PM) Please put in Anderson. AHAHAHAHAA!!! You wish.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 01:48 PM) ....and people want to kick his ass to the curb and send him to AAA. Just another example of why wins mean absolutely nothing when judging the production of a pitcher. 6 IP 3 ER, 5.1 IP 2ER and nothing to show for it.

Jermaine Dye is insanely slow in RF.
