QUOTE (Cowch @ Apr 23, 2008 -> 09:35 PM) The Sox really are better than THAT. Just imagine how good the Sox would be if they were hitting too. Cubs just took the lead. When you are 13th out of 14 teams in the AL in hitting you are not better than that. We lead the league in homers, and are near the bottom in everything else outside of some walks. This team needs to stop with the home run patrol. You can hit a home run, but trying to over and over. Come on. Huge cuts.

So when exactly is our team going to hit. We are currently 13th in the league. The only thing saving us is the walk right now.

Nice ABs from Crede. 2 swings for lane 3 of the Dan Ryan. And your typical crede popup. Nice game kids. Keep this up, and we will be out of first soon.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 23, 2008 -> 09:56 PM) Actually there were just libations. Oh yeah, you went to eat with the Uribes. No food for you.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 23, 2008 -> 09:53 PM) Its Uribe's fault they didn't at least tie it up that inning. That must of been some dinner.

Nothing like swinging at the chest high fastball.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 23, 2008 -> 08:10 PM) The thing that pisses me off is Uribe is the 9th place hitter. He gets slammed for not getting Chamberlain last night, when the 7th place hitter was just blown away. If he went 3 for 4, there would be countless posts b****ing about the out he made. Also, his possible replacements people talk about like they are HOFers. Ramirez is just Uribe if Juan gets his jaw wired shut for a couple of months, and Richar hit .230 with a .289 OBP last year. I don't see where those numbers scream he's worthy of playing everyday on a contender. That must of been some dinner Uribe bought for you to keep fluffing such a crappy player. Those other players are not making 4 mill to hope they might achieve that .235 ceiling that Uribe shoots for every year.

This team has been a .500 team for the last week or so. No hitting + bad pitching = 2007. If we go into this perfect storm s*** Walk needs to go.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 23, 2008 -> 08:12 AM) People b****ing about him like he blew yesterday's game is beyond ridiculous. He had a good game. Getting hits off Joba Chamberlain is not easy. Carlos Quentin whiffed with the bases loaded and 1 out, and not a peep. Uribe ties the game up earlier, and pops up with 2 out, and its bash Uribe time once again. I wonder who is going to be the whipping boy when Uribe is gone. Will you go back to Greg Walker? Wasn't it his fault according to you when certain players don't hit? All of your b****ing and moaning about players on this team, yet this dog for some reason is immune. The funny thing is the excuses you make for him. He could go 0-4 with 4 ks and you would be trumping some almost home run on strike 2 in the first AB. If all it takes is a dinner tab to get you on board then Floyd should pick up your tab the next time. And as for Grego, the team is still hitting like crap. The only saving grace is that we have a few guys outside of your darling Uribe, who can take a walk and get on base for the home runs this year.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 23, 2008 -> 06:59 AM) 2 hits and 2 rbi in a game does suck. 2006 .235BA OBP .235 OPS+ 73 2007 .234BA OBP .284 OPS+ 74 2008 .172BA OBP .232 OPS+ 37 If this belonged to anyone but your dinner party you would be leading the charge on launching him. Those stats are the definition of the suck.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 22, 2008 -> 11:53 PM) Repeating this over and over and over every time we lose a game does not change this. Getting angry everytime he swings at a pitch he shouldn't have doesn't make him any better. It's a broken record. What is the definition of insanity or whatever it is? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result? Are we in the negative catch all thread. Yes we are. The purpose of this thread is for posters to rant and rave. Its a landing place for people to do exactly what is happening. Yet you feel the need to play amateur shrink. Its simple. I haven't liked Juan Uribe for a long long time. You coming in here is not going to change that. If that hurts your eyes, then close them and move on.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 22, 2008 -> 10:39 PM) Well, I'm not sure who DA went to dinner with or whatever that story is, but I have to continue to side with him on this one. At some point one would think Sox fans would take Juan for what he is and live with it. And yet, people continue to expect him to wake up one day and become something that he hasn't been. Juan should not have swung at the breaking ball Joba threw him after Joe's walk, but let's not forget he did have the 2 RBI double earlier in the game. Juan is a rotten ball player. We thought he was gone when Cabrera was picked up. We dont want to live with it. We want him gone.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 22, 2008 -> 09:57 PM) Fitting end. 3-1 count to Uribe, need a base runner. Swings away on a high one and ends it. He cant control himself.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 22, 2008 -> 09:46 PM) That was a frustrating loss I'd say, wouldn't you. we have been a 500 team over the last week. Win a game, lose a game, win a game, lose a game. not rhythm or flow right now.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 20, 2008 -> 12:21 PM) LMAO. So you're saying Cabrera f***ed up, Uribe shouldn't even have been running him back to second, and then blame Uribe who was throwing the ball to second with Crede there to tag the runner out, but Cabrera intercepted the ball. Why do I have the feeling if Uribe went 4-4 with 4 homers, you would find a few things wrong with them. I think you let the fact that you supposedly went to a dinner with the man cloud your judgement. If anyone else on this team did the things that he does you would have him roasted. Yet for personal reasons this bad player is gold.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 22, 2008 -> 10:24 PM) where has swishers power been? i love the obp, but i thought hed slug a bit more...hope the leadoff thing isnt affecting him I want to know where the batting averages are. I understand that we are walking more, but when the entire team outside of 2 people are hitting .230 and below. If you keep the ball in the park on this team, we cant score. The lift and pull offense is back in full affect, the only difference is we have people walking. We cant have guys hitting .230 into June and expect to win. We need our offense to start to string hits and put a big inning on outside of the dong. Tonight I watched a lot of warning track power. I have seen this before. Last year our low BA was the perfect storm. This years excuse.

No one throwing strikes from the pen = check People trying to hit home runs against a sinkerball pitcher that doesnt give up dongs = check Getting men on, then having your asshole pucker up as you try to park every pitch =check Juan Uribe and his 7 IQ swinging for the fences and popping up because he obviously missed the bases loaded walk = check Pitchers s***ting the bed = check Nice effort all around tonight.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 22, 2008 -> 09:01 PM) after Joba doesn't throw a strike to Quentin, and then walks crede with the bases loaded...first pitch hacking at breaking ball, granted he hung it a bit, but WTF juan Juan has the IQ of a peanut. Who follows up a bases loaded walk with a big ass swing popup. Only a selfish ME ME ME player, or a tin can head.

Happy Birthday Jas.

The only time a guy can pull out a poem is in the slim chance it will help with a girl. That is about it. Not on a sports board.

Can we stop the poetry and song crap. I mean we get what like 10 of these silly song and poem threads per year. They are all long winded and have no point. If you are feeling poetic, try it out on your girl not on the rest of us.
