I changed my PTC tonight to Tad Iguchi because the game notes said he hit Tampa good. What happened?

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 26, 2007 -> 02:08 AM) Now Bukvich wants to pitch good. He can smell pennant fever

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Jun 26, 2007 -> 02:06 AM) I was talking about Guillen, thought everybody would get that. Didn't connect with me but now I get it

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Jun 26, 2007 -> 02:02 AM) Buckvich in. I wil be suprised if we get out of this inning with the lead. The really sad thing is there is talk about extending this guy. You mean like pitching him in long relief? You can't mean a longer contract?

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jun 26, 2007 -> 01:59 AM) Let alone knock someone in when nobody is on. Don't get technical on me

Looking at gameday pitch location I would have sworn that called third strike was in a place Konerko usually send it for a ride

QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ Jun 26, 2007 -> 01:56 AM) What's Ozzie's plan? Bukvich the eighth. Jenks in the ninth? Spahn-Sain and pray for rain. Oh wait we're playing in a dome. Hold on to your hats people

Camp is my pick to be the D-Rays all-star rep

Gonzalez looks at three in the zone adn never swings the bat. Contagious disease hitting the hitters

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 26, 2007 -> 01:51 AM) It's been happening with him for 2 years now...odd time to bring this up. I'm slow to catch on sometimes

He possibly coulda hit maybe one!!

Did Pods just forget he needed to swing at balls in the zone? We are quickly losing even the fundemental knowledge of the game here

Hall has no dingers or RBI's this year yet. So much for being even a one tool player this season

QUOTE(Shamrock4Life @ Jun 26, 2007 -> 01:35 AM) ozzie broke his shoulder in spring training. I just caight the 3 SB's on Hall. I want Olivo back

They like starting those rookies in the pen you know. Somehting about building character or something

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 26, 2007 -> 01:35 AM) It's because he can hit lefties and AJ can not, that's pretty much the only reason. It's hard for Hall to throw right now since his shoulder is completely shredded. But it's good that he got some work in at 1B this spring, well worth it.* *stolen line I know what your saying

I am using Gameday. Danks through 5 and out after 88 pitchers. Massett in and ready to blow it again. Hard to stomach. Hope he can show something and get out of this

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 26, 2007 -> 01:29 AM) Why does Hall even bother throwing the ball down to second? I don't have TV coverage, but am I wrong when I say that one of the reasons we signed Hall was becasue he was a good defensive catcher? Or was it his bat we wanted?

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 10:38 PM) Oh ya, I kind of figured you were making a point based on some of the other posters on the site making generic comments similar to that so I figured I'd make a generic post back (in no way was I meaning to imply you as one of those that calls other people bad fans...in fact you have long been one of the posters that I think exemplifies this place). Thanks! We can all do better in our posts and treating fellow Soxtalkers. I will do better also not to be misunderstood. I apologize if I came across wrong

What's up with this Gonzalez kid? 4 for 4? He is our best hitter right now

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 10:26 PM) I just want to say that I think any of us that have been coming to this place consistently over the years are clearly Sox fans. No reason to think one of us is any better than the other. You shouldn't read something into a written post. Maybe I should have used I don't think I ever have talked bad about a fellow soxtalk poster

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 08:25 PM) I've been to a bunch of games at the Trop. Not my preferred place to see a game for sure, but you are right, not naerly as bad as it's made out to be. I'm supposed to go to the game Thursday, but between the 3 hour drive each way, work stuff piling up, and the Sox playing like dookey I don't know if I'll make it. You HAVE to make it to the game. A true Sox fan will go to any game he/she can get to even if the team sucks at the time.

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 07:21 PM) The addressed them. They just didn't get the results they were hoping for. CF Erstad replaced Brian Anderson. LF - Pods was supposed to be healthy and be a quality leadoff man. The entire bullpen was revamped. There were changes. Issues were addressed. Horrible results. You can argue the result part, but you can't really say that they didn't address it and you can't say KW sat on his hands all winter. He made a lot of moves. I guess you can say they didn't go after a replacement for Pods, but that's it. Do you think part of the problem may have been making moves on the cheap? I am hung up on that one because there was such a push to get Erstad before and Pods was the replacement for a star hitter (C Lee). Garcia and his salary went and no major player was signed to replace him. He was going with youth again and none have really panned out. Now I mean this year by that.. who knows what happens next year as far as the youth development goes. We might have some super pitchers step up from those trades.

QUOTE(SoxFanInDallas @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 06:21 PM) So, the sox homegrow Buehrle and Garland, and will eventually lose both. They develop those guys and when they get to their primes, cut-and-run. This is a good strategy? How many more guys didn't work out as homegrown talent. You have to hold onto the ones that do work out. I liked getting Garcia and Contreras, but Vazques is a bust. And , Garcia is already gone. This is exactly the line I have been using in previous posts and replies. We are a team made up from others. Whether that is because of our underschieving and over rated farm ssytem or what I don't know. But we have some home grown stars and should keep them. That includes Crede

If we don't keep Buerhle we are making a mistake. Toeing the old company line is not appropriate.
