QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ Jun 1, 2006 -> 11:56 AM) As the number one Chris Young booster around, it's my sad duty to report that he made it four homers in seven games last night. His seventh dinger. also doubled -- his 10th. also stole a base. Also walked. Going to be tough watch when this kid finally gets the call to Arizona. Who cares, he isnt a member of this team. There are a lot of prospects who light up the minors, and get boned in the majors. BTW Jeremy Reed says hi.

Just picked up a macbook pro for work. As a linux/unix guy I am looking to see what this puppy can do. HP or Dell or IBM are solid from the PC side. Acer makes me want to vomit in my mouth.

Calling our offense, Calling our offense, hit the f***ing ball, score some runs. That is all. And before Hawk and Company make Paul Byrd out to be Cy Young. He f***ing sucks, we should rock him into the stone age. The Cy Youngification of crappy pitchers by Hawk and Co is almost Bagdad Bob like.

QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ May 31, 2006 -> 09:23 PM) ok maybe uribe would fit better in the 6 hole pods gooch thome konerko dye uribe mackowiak aj crede Actually Uribe would fit better keeping Gload company on the bench. That is where his bat would help us the most.

QUOTE(Melissa1334 @ May 31, 2006 -> 09:17 PM) wow speaking of the nl, our lineup is gunna be scary... pods gooch pk dye aj crede uribe anderson pitcher....... :headshake we better hope crede countines to play well cuz if he doesnt.... Uribe seriously needs to get some pine time. Cintron at least gives you some sort of resemblance of an AB.

BP. We dont need to get a new SS, we just need to have Uribe park his ass next to Gload on the bench and let Cintron play for a while so Taz can get his brain in order and stop with the Profundo crap.

QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ May 31, 2006 -> 09:14 PM) well think it through, although it seems that Uribe could kill rallies at the 5 spot, their is so much strength behind him I doubt it would lead to a major difference in how pitchers deal with Paulie Watch how pitchers address Konkero when Dye is out of the lineup. He sees nothing at all. Each batter has an affect on the players around them. Thome is a force in the lineup, and therefore he gets walked a lot, and pitchers go after Konerko because a strong hitting Dye is behind him.

QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ May 31, 2006 -> 09:10 PM) heres my reasoning for Uribe at #5 so many times have we had 2 on and none or 1 out and Uribe and Anderson come up and blow the rally I think if we scatter about or weaker hitters their averages will improve, and less rallies will be squandered Ask yourself this question. Why in the world would I ever throw a pitch to Konerko if Taz is behind him. I would walk him on 4 pitches with the bases loaded, so I could throw 3 in the dirt to Taz for the K.

Our lineup is slumping right now. Over the last 7 days we are hitting .268 as a team. Gooch .150 Thome .238 Konerko .192 AJ .182

Freddy better nut up in his next start. Its against the Tigers at home.

QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ May 31, 2006 -> 08:59 PM) I think that we have an amazing offense, but were using it the wrong way sure were winning, but I think with the lineup I propose below we could be even better 1. Scott Podsednik-LF 2.Tadohito Iguchi-2B 3.Jimi Thome-DH 4.Paul Konerko-1B 5.Juan Uribe-SS 6.Jermaine Dye-RF 7.Rob Mackowiak-CF 8.AJ Pierzynski-C 9.Joe Crede-3B I think our lineup is about 100% more balanced, and there is no death stretch at the bottom of the order that could kill any rallies I think we had something going last year with the bottom of the order, lets try it again, instead of batting in order of productiveness You want to put the tasmanian devil in the 5 hole. Thats insane. I am sure Konerko will get a lot of protection with the spinomatic flailing behind him.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ May 31, 2006 -> 08:55 PM) At least tomorrow is Jose's game. The offense better pick it up and score some runs. Jose should of won his last start, but due to the offense sleepwalking, he got a ND.

One more stranded runner to make the night complete.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 31, 2006 -> 08:53 PM) That drum guy is sooooo getting laid with those glasses and that stache. Now I know what Ned Flanders does when Homer pisses him off.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ May 31, 2006 -> 08:49 PM) Listening to Hawk and DJ describe Cleveland pitchers, its amazing anyone ever scores a run off them. If this gets to Uribe I predict one pitch he swings and hits a popup to the SS.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ May 31, 2006 -> 08:49 PM) Paul Konerko in May: .234. Jermaine Dye .266 in May

Konerkos last AB just summerized the evening. Gets ahead, cant do anything with it. Then Ks.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 31, 2006 -> 08:44 PM) Cliff's WHIP must be around 3. Its kind of a shock that right handers are hitting .323 against him.

QUOTE(Melissa1334 @ May 31, 2006 -> 08:41 PM) has he given up any earned runs? >i dont know why hes struggling so much this season. supposebly he doesnt have enough confidence.he had a GREAT season last year and pitched in the f***in playoffs. how much more confidence do u need?? He is another guy who has lost velocity since last year. Last year he was hitting his spots with a 93-95mph fastball and an 86-88 slider. This year his slider and his fastball are almost the same, and he is missing his spots.

Politte is getting hit hard. On the Score today they were pimping that Kenny wants Cesar Izturus who is still rehabbing. That he is on Kennys radar.

Our starting pitching has been s***ty outside of Vazquez on Monday since the As series. Back to back crap games for Garcia.

The sad thing, is no matter how much he f***s up with his bat, doesnt execute with the bunt, kicks the ball, throws the ball away, you will see him tomorrow. Uribe is probably the least substituted besides Crede, Thome, and Konerko. He never ever is benched.

It seems that when we get a big scoring game like Mondays, it f***s us up for a few games. Our swings get long, and we stop hitting.

Hawk stating that we have upgraded our offense, however our starting pitching, bullpen and defense are not as good as last years. No s*** Hawk.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 31, 2006 -> 08:16 PM) Well, the indians are on the verge of a hot streak. We cant take advantage of Detroit playing the yankees. Its not looking good for us. If we take 3 out of 4 here, we could crush them in the standings. By letting them win 2 or 3 out of 4 we give them life. Low payroll, lots of prospects to trade, dangerous combo.
