QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 09:31 PM) Maybe the White Sox will bring up Bobby Jenks for Walker now. I thought they should've done that in the first place if they were going to bring up Walker. I don't like that guy one bit. If only his name was Tyler and not Kevin. Please make it stop. Bobby Jenks is this team's future closer/set-up man and he could be one for the ages. Don't touch that with a ten foot pole. If you are looking for help from the minors, it should come from Soxtalk's own prodigal son.

QUOTE(nvxplorer @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 09:30 PM) Yes, it is not an enviable position to be in. The more I think about it, if the intent was indeed to test Walker, he was put into the perfect situation. Bringing in a rookie for mop up doesn't really accomplish much if you are trying to gauge his potential. It was do or die for Walker, and of course we know how that turned out. Though Shingo and Vizcaino are struggling (to put it mildly), their capabilities are already known. I'm with everyone who claims the move was boneheaded, from the standpoint of winning the game, but by looking at the big picture, I can understand what management may have been doing. It is still very early and the Sox still have a four game lead. If Ozzie makes these same calls in August, I'll be the first to call for his head, but I give him a (tentative) pass for tonight. Just a question: are you referring to Walker as a rookie?

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 09:08 PM) Goddamit. These Ozzie apologists are going to make me puke. Once I saw Walker coming into the game, I said to my girlfriend, "Oh s***." I'm not an MLB manager but even I knew that trouble was brewing once Walk-er was put into the game. One of these things is not like the other... One of these things just doesn't belong...

GE HAWN!!! ...damn; I'm no good at this.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 08:24 PM) we need more threads like this. I don't think Soxtalk has enough green font to cover this thread.

Just foul. You have to be kidding me.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 08:19 PM) Konerko should be hitting for Uribe here. You!!! Take your logic and get the hell out of here.

The go-ahead, winning, run comes to the plate in Juan Uribe. Yipee.

All kidding aside, if Frank goes yard, I'll probably laugh till' I puke.

Are you guys ready to view some of the filthiest stuff in all of baseball?

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 08:03 PM) Oh and I forgot to ask, how much Cowbell is involved in this equation Addison? Thats a very important variable. http://mknx.com/v/cowbell.wmv Suprisingly, a good deal of cowbell.

Yeah, well, I just went ahead and check on that and ironically, it turns out that wins in the month of June equate to wins in any month. I wonder if Ozzie is familar with this old chestnut.

The destruction of Dustin's sparkling ERA is just the final nail in the coffin for this series. Damnit.

According to the official Major League Baseball rulebook: do wins in the month of June equate to wins in the month of September? Just checking.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 07:53 PM) I take it that is what you meant, right? ...why I oughta.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 07:52 PM) replace the word game w/ series. we got lucky. Ding. Ding. Ding. I think this was a failed attempt to throw the series.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 07:50 PM) I was too, sorry its me and my morbid sense of humor. If by morbid, you mean vast and if by humor, you mean post total.

By the way, we have two more outs to go in this game as K-Rod is back off the DL. If we don't get at least one this inning...game-set-match.

QUOTE(nvxplorer @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 07:40 PM) I'd like to say I believe you, but I'll have to see it to believe it. Nothing surprises me at this point. I don't blame you or your skepticism. Let's hope Kenny, Ozzie and co. do the right thing and have the plane ticket waiting for him at his locker. Anything else would be simply unacceptable. Ross needs to be up and Kevin needs to be flipping flapjacks somewhere.

QUOTE(nvxplorer @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 07:36 PM) Why the hell is Walker on the team anyway? The Sox called up Jamie Burke, then sent him right back down for Walker. That move baffled the f*** out of me. Call up a versatile player, someone the Sox could certainly use, then send him back down for a pitcher who wasn't doing s*** in AAA. Unbelievable. Walker will be boarding a plane after tonight's game and we will be welcoming back Ross Gload. It's happening. Just sit back and wish him a happy flight.

quick and I were talking about Pod's bad reads on baseballs. Now, I'm not going to say a bad read would have caught that baseball, but with his speed, you would think he'd get where he'd have to be in a hurry. Naturally, the next batter gets a hit. :banghead

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 07:30 PM) Holy s***, Addy pulled out the Blue Ribbon. I had to. That's about the only thing going right tonight. A round of PBR's on me. Drink em' if you got em'.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 07:26 PM) Be careful, he might verbally attack you like he did to Jeff Brantley. It's getting to the point where I hate our manager on and off the field. I used to think I would never hate a manager more than Dusty....but Ozzie is about to pass him up. If Ozzie pulls the "I'm the manager, go ahead and criticize" me line after the ballgame, I'm gonna snap. Attention Ozzie Guillen: YOU f***ED UP BIG TIME THIS WEEK. Let that sink in greenhorn. You, yes, you, are costing this team W's.

Title says it all. He's been unbearable this week. Complete garbage.

Timo's playing first base. That's all I've got to say about that.
