QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 1, 2008 -> 01:52 PM) Let's get 1, damnit!!!! You're ridiculous. The offense gave us all they could with 3 runs, our pitchers shouldn't have let up this many. This is all on Buehrle.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 1, 2008 -> 02:46 PM) I am not buying into the Richar thing at this time. Maybe next year Well Uribe just sucks at this point. Yes, he's solid defensively but with the way this team hits we need as many hitters as possible. Uribe might be good for a week or two then he goes back to being one of the worst hitters in baseball.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 1, 2008 -> 02:44 PM) Alexei is hot right now, but Uribe can be too. What will we be saying if and when Ramirez slumps? Go to Richar than. They're both better than Juan.

So I think Alexei is officially like our 3rd best hitter.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 1, 2008 -> 01:33 PM) The solution is, dont turn the channel to the cubs game. The one thing I hate about being at school in the summer since the Cubs are always on WGN. Have to watch them or the Cards while I watch the Sox not score any runs on gameday.

He's god.

QUOTE (knightni @ May 31, 2008 -> 10:49 PM) If Rose has no outside shot now, he's certainly not going to develop one in the pros. Plenty of great players have developed a jump shot in the pros. The mechanics for Rose's shot is there, he'll be just fine as a jump shooter.

Crush made the ugly chick even uglier.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 31, 2008 -> 07:18 PM) Because of our hitting the Sox have to be the most frustrating, worst first-place team in the history of baseball. My god does our offense suck. You just have to wonder how long we can stay in the race with such pathetic offense. Well that's ridiculous.

Some times shaking things up a bit well send a wake up call to the team. I really don't think firing Walker is going to do that much but at this point his offensives have done nothing but fail, he really should be let go.

God damn Vaz is so f***in good. Cmon O, get him some runs.

Damn it...

This seriously might be our best chance for a few runs, Dye needs to go long ball. That's kinda sad.

Rocky 4 is still one of my favorite movies.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 31, 2008 -> 05:45 PM) How long was that nap? 2, 3 weeks? Haha, pretty much. Just frustrating but obviously predictable at this point. If Q has an off game we just can't score at all.

Wake up from a nap to see we haven't scored any runs yet. Go figure.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 31, 2008 -> 03:38 PM) The other potential move I see happening at some point is Adam Russel being added to the pen. The Sox brass really likes this guy and I believe they feel he can develop into an upper echelon set-up man at some point in his career. Wasserman has been better as of late, but if he at all falters back to his first few outings, I wouldnt' be shocked to see Russel up. With as good as the starters have been, I really don't see the point of carrying 12 pitchers. Find me a left handed bat off the bench and I'll be a happy camper.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 31, 2008 -> 12:12 PM) , becase we all know that I like an OPB which is driven by a decent extent by AVERAGE (guys need to hit to be good offensive players, not just walk and hit the ocassional homer). You know I completely agree with you on this, however, at this point I would just like guys to be on base for CQ. That's honestly where we are right now with this offense. If Swish can up his average a bit and get on base at a .350 or so clip and we could hit him back at the top of the order, I think he'd at least be semi valuable cause he'd at least be providing RBI opps for Q.

If Skipworth is available you just can't pass on him, can you?

I can't watch anyways but if I were at home, I'd be pissed.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 31, 2008 -> 11:50 AM) He's only had one really good year. What historical stats can we pull from 3 full seasons in the league? He's not a proven vet, he's a young guy who's had one very good year. Why does he get to keep starting? Two 800 plus ops seasons, even his first full season was pretty decent. Sure he sucks right now, but he's not a .200 hitter, at this point if he puts something like a .220 average than he still has some value as a hitter cause he's going to be getting on base at a better clip than OC and AJ. You could at least put him at the top of the order(ya I know a .220 hitter at the top of the lineup isn't ideal) and have a decent obp guy in front of CQ.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 31, 2008 -> 10:37 AM) With Swisher's historical stats, I think its a mistake to outright bench him. Plus, he won't get better playing only twice a week. Just play Anderson once a series, at least for now. Completely agree.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 30, 2008 -> 11:22 AM) How about this? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Swisher is still batting around .200 so you think putting him in the 2 hole is a good idea? Ridiculous. And his obp is .332 compared to AJ's .335. IMO Swisher is eventually going to have to be moved back up in the order cause he will be getting on base at a better pace than AJ any day now and at the moment our one concern should be getting as many people on base for CQ as possible. But as of now, I'm definitely fine with the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" line of thinking, eventually moving Swisher back to the top of the order will be the best thing for this line up though imo.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 30, 2008 -> 12:26 AM) I do quietly dream about a Sox/Cubs World Series. In a short series, the Sox could win because of the pitching. If there was ever going to be a year, it'd be this one. I guess 2003 could have been it as well considering the Sox were probably the most talented team in baseball and the Cubs were 5 outs away. The double chokes took care of that though.
