It ain't a bad idea if you can bunt the ball though

Was the ball close even or did they see the squeeze play coming?

I like the way Quentin, Crede and BA have delivered. Crede did the right thing to go opposite field

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 11:52 PM) Oooo I think Huff has a right to be pissed here. No sir! Only the Sox have a right to be ticked off when a play doesn't go their way.

I was travelling and listening to XM radio thinking we might have a 9 inning win today/ Just got home to see Jenks blew it. The bullpen and I am including Jenks is just too inconsistent. There were several games earlier where he allowed a couple baserunners and wiggled out of it, but it's bound to catch up to you eventually. The offense isn't helping much either.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 07:06 PM) I highly doubt the outrageous thought of Uribe cannibalizing his entire family sans the one poster on this board is believable enough that anyone would believe it. Thusly, it being a "bad comment" is not possible. It's a joke. I don't think I'm "ignorant" because I thought someone making a joke about Uribe's fat ass was funny. Why don't you strike up a cause that's worth getting worked up about? I think that the joke might be offensive to Latin peoples in general. Family is very important to them. I took it as a joke, which I am 100% sure that's how it was intended to be and read. The comment may be interpreted wrong, but this in just my feeling that's all. Maybe we have gone to far with the poliitical correctness of everything?

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 04:23 AM) I'm heartened to see that in this 'slowing economy' that so many young people have enough disposable income to get trashed on beer at a Soxgame. For me to drink enough beer at the Cell to get wasted I would need to take out a loan. I'd need to take out aloan just to afford the gas to get to the Cell let alone have enough for 2 beers to get wasted on

QUOTE (north side chi sox fan @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 08:00 PM) nope Gotta do everything possible to get the game in then. We go to Minny for Tuesday and Wed and that shouldn't be a hard trip at all travelwise. What maybe an hour and a half flight at the most?

Is Baltimore due back in Chitown this season?

QUOTE (WCSox @ Apr 27, 2008 -> 04:06 PM) MacDougal hasn't been terrible, but I think it's obvious that he isn't going to return to '03 or even '06 form. We've seen his best and he's really not going to be much more than an innings-eater when we're down in the 6th and 7th. I'm not sure if Wassermann is BETTER than MacDougal at this point, but he's probably not any worse. So why not let the kid develop in the bigs? Reality of it is that the whole sox bullpen has been erratic. We get good games from them followed by a bad game, but the one I worry about the most is Dotel. Jenks has shown my a lot of grit out there though and he has still found a way to get out of the pressure situations. Walks have hurt as well as the bleeders dropping in and infield hits

QUOTE (DonnyDevito @ Apr 27, 2008 -> 05:52 AM) this is outstanding news. i wonder if they can do something similar with Toby Hall. Toby Hall delivered a single or two in his last game. He must be coming around. I have been really disappoited in his lack of hitting and his failure to throw out runners. But, I think a back up catcher is going to have to come from a trade.

Game two on WGN and a bottom of the 9th Sox winner and BA the hero. Truly doesn't get any better than that. I loved it! You also have to give it to Jenks for fighting back hard.

I would rather see Dootell go somewhere at this point

QUOTE (Soxpranos @ Apr 26, 2008 -> 09:38 PM) Masset would probably do better than Buehrle. Let's hope Mark does good tonight. I'll be watchng on WGN

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Apr 26, 2008 -> 10:05 PM) Good luck with that, he is a 5 and 10 guy in the next few weeks and can say no to any trade he wants. He is here for he rest of his contract, unless this team goes to the crapper so much that he wants to abandon ship. Is he already a 5 and 10? No, I see what you are syaing. Maybe a trade is good? But, then again we are sitting in 1st place and if PK and some others heat up we might actually be having some fun this season

QUOTE (rafacosta @ Apr 26, 2008 -> 10:03 PM) Trade PK in June when he is hot for minor leaguers... Rafacosta, Do you get WGN? The Sox are on tonight

QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 26, 2008 -> 09:11 PM) How many of us would be mad if Konerko was traded?I wouldnt in the least bit. Not today, but maybe tomorrow when he snaps out of this slump

QUOTE (zenryan @ Apr 26, 2008 -> 09:20 PM) this isnt the 80s. Your middle infielders need to hit. Swisher,Cabrera,PK have all hit in the past. Uribe has sucked since day one and yet keeps getting PT. Its a joke. No, Uribe has not sucked since day one, but he has gotten steadily worse as time has gone by. He is agood glove man with some hitting power, but he does not make adjustments or take the outside pitches when needed

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 26, 2008 -> 08:56 PM) Not to be a broken record, but Josh Fields dominates against soft tossing lefties. We need to find a way to get him into the lineup. 1B for Fields and Crede signed to an extension

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 26, 2008 -> 06:58 PM) Greg Walker should just be fired between games. Just what is his approach to hitting anyway?

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 26, 2008 -> 06:53 PM) BTW, we haven't scored a run in 15 innings with Ramirez/Uribe/Hall in the lineup. That can't be good

I think someone forgot to tell our relief pitchers that getting the first guy out and not walking people are essential parts to winning a game

With the price of gasoline you would think MacD might refrain from pouring it on the fire!
