Rowand44

QUOTE(Soxfest @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 09:31 PM) He got WAY overpaid for 1 good year and he has his money now, he is not really all that good and is on cruise control, I would trade him if someone would take him? Oye ve. His contract wasn't that big, he's worth that kind of money alone because of his defense.

QUOTE(MattZakrowski @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 08:58 PM) I say bench and try to trade Rowand, move Pods to center and play everett in left. It will hurt our defense, but having Everett's bat in the lineup more often can't be a bad thing. Pods in center for a season let alone a game is a terrible idea.

The problem with Aaron right now is that he can't lay off the down and away breaking balls off right handers, this is something he learned to do much better last year, hence the nice season. Aaron's a very talented player and I think he can get back to the way he hit last season he's just got to be able to take those breaking balls again.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 07:37 PM) Hence why I've said he's a perfect option for us to trade for. Has great splits as well. I'm 100 percent with you on this one dbaho. I'd absolutely have to have Batista in the pen. You can never have to many arms. Also if I'm not mistaken he signed a 3 or 4 year deal last offseason so he'd be around for atleast next year as well.

Crede should definitely be a gold glover this year, Aaron has been very good defensively this year but I'm not quite sure he's a gold glover yet.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 05:23 PM) the friday game against the a's this year we had willie harris playing 2nd and in the 2 hole. During that game he had 3 chances to move scott pods over w/ no outs. All those times he failed and the run never came in. We lost the game 4-2. Gooch is needed in the 2 hole. He also has an advantage because he's seeing better pitches when pitchers are worried about pods. Keep him there. My feelings as well. Gooch is to valuable in the 2 hole to be moved down.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:44 PM) Clement, Wakefield, Miller and Arroyo will all look much better though when facing the White Sox lineup as opposed to that of the Yankees, Orioles, or Blue Jays. I knew this was going to get ugly if the Sox lost this one, check that..if the sox trailed in this one. I'm done arguing with you guys, I'll just let the Sox do the talking for me this weekend. I'll stop posting in the game threads also, that should make you guys happy.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:45 PM) No.. because it's ignorant and incredibly racist sounding. Thank you.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:40 PM) Its all about a latin name I guess. Well we have a lefty hitting in AAA at about a .380 clip with an over .1.00 OPS. But he cant play OF so he stays down. If his name was Gloadriguez he is up and playing. We have a midget who masquarades as a 1st baseman because he can pinch hit and provides a dancing partner for our manager. We have Willie who should be anywhere but here, but he is here, because Gload isnt liked. If you are latin and a pitcher you can throw 100 pitches and then start that inning. Willie's fooled me, I could have sworn he wasn't latin. :headshake

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:39 PM) Hawk just said buehrle, garland, contreras, and garcia. Unless they're planning on pitching Freddy on 3 days rest that ain't happening

QUOTE(DABearSoX @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:32 PM) Ok, well the only good thing I can pull out of these games is that kenny is going to be pissed and he is going to do something....and soon Don't expect kenny to overreact because of one series. If he makes a move it'll be because it makes sense for the team not because they lost 1 series and not just to make a move.

QUOTE(Wolverine31 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:32 PM) If it makes you feel any better, it should have been a sweep if not for Trammell's brain fart monday (that assuming Farnsworth can hold it in the 9th). Go away asshole.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:31 PM) 110 pitches for Garcia... oye ve. Plus a rain delay where he had to get started up again, that just wasn't one of ozzie's brightest moves.

Not smart there by Ozzie, not good.

We get crazy farns in the 9th. Hopefully Pauly can turn around one of his heaters.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:17 PM) Here comes atleast 1 run, book it. I'm wrong.

That's the one pitch scotty has a hard time laying off, the high heater.

Cmon Scotty

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:18 PM) Not gonna change any time soon. Our line-up is surrounded by guys who do not take pitches. Crede is almost always 0-2 it seems, uribe, rowand, pierzyski, ozuna. I really want to know why ozuna ever leads off. He takes about three pitches an at-bat... not acceptable. Probably cause he has about a .370 obp when leading off.

There ya go Freddy, now the O can go to work. Here comes atleast 1 run, book it.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:13 PM) i think it's the way our offense has looked. Lots of pop ups ground outs and K's. That's how most outs take place.

QUOTE(T R U @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:11 PM) I wouldnt mind trying to pick up Lawton from the Pirates... the guy draws walks and has some pop, not to mention he is a LH bat.. No where to play him. I do like Lawton as well though.

Alright, gotta shut them down now, everytime we score they've been scoring. Shut 'em down and get a few

WIDGE GOES OPPO!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:06 PM) Rowand... shut up. No one is giving up. Just venting at the series of bonehead plays we've been listening to the past 2 hours. Relax and stop accusing us of crap that isn't true. Actually, someone said "this games over" so that's what ticked me off, sorry about that, if you guys can vent so can I about the negativity, sorry.
