The Walker hate is hilarious.
Beckham has nothing to do with Walker.
I don't hate Walker....I hate the long loopy f***in swing.

It's hard to still blame Walker for Beckham's failure. He looks worse now than he ever did in the pass. After a while, you just blame the player.
I agree to a point...but the long loopy swing didn't just appear out of nowhere. I'm wondering what they've been working with him on this spring?

That swing looks so unnatural. He's absolutely gone away from what he was doing successfully when he first came up.
pretty much...he was Walkerized. Such a non-linedrive swing it's ridiculous.

I love the fact the guy can admit when he was wrong. I wonder if anyone around Chicago is taking notes?
That's is nice to see a national scribe own up to this...
JESUS...can we get over the Minnesota "Knob Fest"...

What ever happened to the idea of making a COWLEY thread to contain everything about him in one place? For him to be so hated around here he sure gets a lot of attention.
This. I look at Cowley like the midwest term for the small flying insects that swarm a dog's genitals in the summer...."Pecker Gnat". That's basically what he is to me and I'll never even click on his hack stuff ever again. Eff him...

Of course, we will probably melt down against the Twinkees, who suck.
completely different year and feel. plus...I doubt Robin has a poster of Gardy in his office like Ozzie did.
QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 14, 2012 -> 02:58 PM)
Beckham's swing is worse now than ever. He's pushing the bat and seems to have no flexibility at the plate.
seriously...wtf happened to that short compact stroke. Did Walker screw him up that bad?

Watching the highlights on the Sox website, it sounds like Hawk was VERY excited.
Just watched 'em again myself and haven't heard Hawk that excited in a while! Ready for tomorrow already!

I am off the Beckham bandwagon, If he is non tendered so be it..............another GREAT KW pick!
Over/under of the length of rope (in ABs) Robin gives him...
I've thoroughly enjoyed Robin's philosophies so far...a very refreshing change. And I agree with whoever said the sunday "buzzkill" lineup...those were brutal "throw-away" games which got very old.
