QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 12:40 PM) Obviously pitching to ARod is working for the opponent considering the Yankees will soon be in last place. Maybe sacrificing a run or two by pitching to Alex puts you in a better position than putting him on and having Giambi or Cano knock in 3-4 runs. Eh, they're still leading the league in runs, their pitching just blows.

Haha, good stuff from Ozzie.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 12:08 AM) I like the way Ozzie yelled at Sisco for walking people. Seems like the taller the pitcher is, the tougher it is to throw strikes. I think all these tall guys should get extended stints in the minors till they learn to pitch like Randy Johnson did. What good is Sisco if he can't pitch without walking people?? Sisco does need to work on his control(as do a lot of young pitchers) but he was probably a bit nervous facing off against his old team and he might have been over throwing a bit.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 03:49 AM) IIRC didn't he bat 3 or 4 in Japan? I wouldn't blame this all on Ozzie, Iguchi seemed to want to make the switch as well. If this was by his request/suggestion, and Ozzie gave him a chance, It won't be the worst experiment that a manager ever tried. If we had an adequate replacement for Gooch in the 2 hole, I'd actually like to see the experiment last a bit longer. Unfortunately, we don't and Tad is a very good number 2 hitter and that's where he should be hitting.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 10:59 PM) Travis Hafner is also good. 4 for 4, 2 walks and some runs involved Having ARod, Bonds and Pronk on my fantasy team is very cool at the moment.

Good to hear that he's regaining some velocity. Even with out him throwing 98 though, I wouldn't worry too much about the guy. He seems to be able to tough out saves for the most part. There are definitely other things on this team that I'm far more worried about than Bobby.

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 10:09 PM) Thank god. Is every game going to end in an adventure? Yup. Not a problem as long as we win though.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 10:39 PM) I am the same way, although I really do like Ortiz. He just seems to have a blast with the game. I have no problem with Ortiz, and I really don't even have a problem with Manny besides the Manny being Manny crap. I absolutely despise Josh Beckett and Curt Schilling though. 2004 made me absolutely hate all things Red Sox, they're by far my most hated team in baseball.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 10:38 PM) I understand there isn't as much to talk about when the Sox win, but I love that this thread will be 35-40 posts, and a White Sox loser will bring to 200+ Haha. Great to see Paul have a fantastic game, hopefully he can start some kind of hot streak. It would sure be nice to have a hot bat beyond Jimmy. Lets hope Vaz can keep it going tomorrow.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 06:51 PM) Alex did it again today. He is amazing. He's awesome. QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 08:32 PM) Indeed. Too bad he's a Yank, cause I absolutely love Arod the player. Eh, that doesn't bother me. Now, if he were on Boston...Yuck.

My gameday must have f***ed up, it says Sweeney got out.

I don't get it, if Matt is available why the hell wasn't he in there? Just makes no sense to me.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 09:31 PM) And Thornton is warming up. I hate you Ozzie Guillen. Ok, seriously, what the hell?

Something is definitely wrong with Matt, not good.

Title fixed.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Apr 22, 2007 -> 10:29 PM) Has grown up and become a librarian. That was definitely a fun game to be at.

God, I'd love to see ARod shove it up Papelbon's ass right now. Boo.

I still think he's going to be a hell of a pitcher. I don't think he'll necessarily be an ace but I do believe that he'll be a solid number 2.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 22, 2007 -> 09:22 PM) I believe this team has all the pieces on it to win a world series. Whether those pieces produce and stay healthy like they can is another question. Just like last years team had enough talent to win the Series (as did the 2003 Sox club...or at least I think it was 03 when they had Everett, Alomar, Colon, Loiaza, Buehrle, etc) this years club does as well (the talent in the rotation and pen is there, will the production be there?? and this team does have a pretty talented line-up). Ya, that. I absolutely love this bullpen and if you have a bullpen like we do, you can make a lot of noise. And yes, it was the 03 team you're thinking of. I think that year haunted most before 05, because that team WAS the most talented in baseball that year.

I want the first sweep of the season.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Apr 22, 2007 -> 08:44 AM) Ahhhhh Bush's true colors. Where is Kap when you need him? (I bet no one knows what mine really is. Hint:Star Wars) I have never seen a full Star Wars, so I'll just say that avatar is...different.

Have a good one, sir.

I hope there is enough time left in the season to make up the .5 game lead that the Orioles have on us in the wild card race.

QUOTE(hitlesswonder @ Apr 21, 2007 -> 09:17 AM) Erstad is actually a significantly better defensive CF than Anderson. Both Cowley and Gregor have reported that Anderson has trouble going back on balls and implied he doesn't give maximum effort in the OF. I'm pretty sure that's one reason Guillen has soured on him. Last night Ozzie said flat out that Anderson isn't as good as Erstad defensively and will not be replacing him in CF. I think Anderson's defense is greatly overrated. Well if it's been reported, it must be true. Anderson is one of the best defensive cf's in baseball, nobody can convince me otherwise.
