QUOTE (SoxFan101 @ Apr 14, 2008 -> 02:53 PM) Uribe has done nothing so far to deserve the starting nod at 2B and don't know why anyone wants him to stay there. Granted, he does play good defense but when your batting sub .200 I don't care how good your defense is you aren't deserving a starting spot. I will say that I don't want the team to rush Richar back or anything of that sort, let him get completely healthy and a week or so in the minors before putting Danny back in action. I dont see what point you're making, granted Uribe cant hit a lick but based on your assesment Thome I guess shouldnt be in the lineup either as he falls in that sub .200 range as well...Lord, we're 11 games into the season, he's played a great 2B and hell if aint broke don't fix it we got enough boppers on this team anyways...

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Apr 10, 2008 -> 09:17 PM) Timo eh? What, you take me for a Timo Perez fan? LOL yea my bad you'd think I wouldve gotten that right too you've posted here forever too...been a longggg day timo

I love Swish and right on timo this guy will be a fan favorite for awhile here were fortunate to have a guy like him...

QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Apr 8, 2008 -> 10:35 PM) Yeah, Williams needs to step up here. Either Boone and Bobby cut that awful beard, or let Buehrle go back to his tarp-sliding days. Who cares they're havin fun, they're grown men let em do what they want this is dumb

Heres a positive somewhat Sox related, LAA and Torii Hunter beat the Tribe with a walk off GS in the 9th off Borowski...Always nice seeing those division rivals get beat even if it is premature

AJ, Quentin, Swish, Dye all were great and hell even Crede's hitting around .370...Danks and Floyd both looked good and it was awesome seeing Buehrle rebound and redeem himself last night as has the bullpens done a great job...This teams going to be VERY fun to watch this season and I'm loving every second of it

Though Crede didnt play his best game defensively letting a few balls sail he swung the bat well had a 3 hit game tonight, kudos Joe and great series fellas

Its fun seeing the guys jump around and act like asses after a big series win like this, this team has a different feel to it so far to me and I like it alot. Ha I love seeing Swish jack around and act like an ass high fivin and stuff I love this kids attitude...I'm likin this team alot so far

way to work out of it JC, better get the sticks goin again boys

damn this clete thomas kid looks legit, smooth swinging lefty runs well...looks like a player

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 01:15 PM) For some reason, over the past two years, Contreras is given the longest leash of anyone in the rotation. I know it, it seems as of Ozzie still hangs on to the '05 and even the '06 Jose rather than the Jose of late...he just doesnt have it anymore

god damn what the hell is he doing out there?? that fastball when he drops down is flat as a pancake he's so predictable....ughhhh

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 09:42 PM) Of his caliber? He's the 7th hitter, and once Granderson gets healthy, he'll be the 8th or 9th hitter in the lineup with Inge getting bumped to the bench. He's not a real good player anymore, and he does have a s***ty OBP, but he does make up for that somewhat by hitting at a decent clip. Juan Uribe hits .230-.240, and that's why people are upset with him. I dont see a valid point ur trying to make here witesox, yea he hits 7 hole but have you seen that lineup?? take a look at that all star lienup and you might rethink what you said...I could care less for Pudge but its unfair to make an assessment on him because he hits low on a team full of massive amounts of talent...

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 07:00 PM) I want 1. Swish LF 2. O cab SS 3. Thome 4. Kong 5. Dye 6. AJP 7. BA CF 8. Crede 3B 9 A-ram 2B vs Carmona. Im not sold on Uribe's phantom ST performance. BA needs to get some early at bats here to see if maybe HE turned it around. Yup do like that lineup alot there rock, damn these off days after opening day suck alot I'm already dying for Wednesday

I'll say 85-77 I really do feel this is a team that can and will surprise and shock some people...if they can find any consistency out of the back end of the rotation, and vasquez can rebound and put up another good year I feel this team can do some special things it's just really unfortunate we play in the toughest division in baseball

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Mar 26, 2008 -> 05:39 PM) Simple as this: MacDougal, Hall and Crede should not be on the opening day roster but the Sox feel the need to keep them. They will lose us games, Hall especially with no bat and no arm. Mac comes in and always gives us baserunners and runs and Crede pops up in the infield more than anyone else. Though I usually agree with you're posts maggsmaggs I'm curious to know as to how Crede's going to LOSE us games?? He's no A-Rod or Miggy with his stick obviously but if he anything his leather will SAVE us some games. Some people take for granted his glove work at 3rd sometimes and it pisses me off....

QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Mar 5, 2008 -> 10:22 PM) Nick Swisher is a gamer thats for sure. For him to go up to Ozzie and say "I can't stand to be losing these ST games" says an aweful lot. This dude cares, he has fun and he will make an imediate impact. He will be on Sportsnite tonight at 10:30 for an interview. That should be entertaining. Yea I thought that article and that quote really shows that fiery competitive attitude i think this team seems to lack at times...Im expectin big things from swish

QUOTE(SoxPride56 @ Mar 5, 2008 -> 01:15 PM) One of my favorite already as well. I got the chance to go out drinking with him, Danks, and Owens during SoxFest. He is one hell of a good guy. Even exchanged email addresses, and he emailed me that Tuesday after the fest saying how good of a time it was. Totaly awesome guy! Yea doesnt surprise me one bit he emailed you, I hear he's an excellent guy off the field as well...lol lucky you getting to kick a few back with him I bet that was a blast

Does anybody love this guy as much as I do?? I was reading an article on MLB.com and I cant help but get excited to have this guy on our team this season...Already turning into one of my favorite players, I hope he just f***ing tears it up this year I'm dying to get this season going.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 30, 2008 -> 07:52 PM) Unfortunately, the problem isn't that he's not an ideal 2 hole hitter...he certainly is. Good bat control, decent speed, just kinda fits that role well. The problem is we don't have an obvious person to hit in front of him, and it seems to make more sense to go Cabrera/Swisher than it does Swisher/Cabrera, because Swisher would be expected to put up better power numbers and you kinda want that guy with a chance hitting in front of Thome and with a chance to have someone on base in front of him. I still think it's possible something will work out where Owens gets a decent chunk of AB's and actually gives us a .350ish OBP and solves this problem for a bunch of games, but the problem with that is we have no where to play him right now. Oh yea and i can absolutely agree with that, if O-Cab isnt hitting 2 hole he should be our leadoff man with Swish hitting second, assuming Quentin starts over Owens in LF, but to hit him in the 8 hole I think is a little crazy, but JMO...

Qwerty do u really believe O-Cab would be better suited as a 8 or 9 hole hitter honestly? How do you figure? Cabrera hit over 300 last year with over 600 ABs in the 2 slot, granted his OBP I believe was somewhere around .350 but this kid is the ideal 2 hole hitter for this ball club....

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Nov 27, 2006 -> 04:41 PM) How so? Joe Crede is one of the best 3B in the game right now, Figgins is barely a starter and is a slight upgrade over PODS. Santana and Garcia could be deemed a wash. If you can turn Santana into Crawford however, then we are winners. Rock I usually agree with what you say but here you're TERRIBLY OFF. Santana is a VERY good, YOUNG pitcher and is miles better than Freddy and the upside this kid has is out of this world, believe me Ervin Santana will be a very good pitcher when his career is all said and done, Freddy for Santana is by no means "just a wash" I just hate losin Crede

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 08:13 PM) Honestly I'm more concerned with the score in Minnesota. And it ain't a pretty one, Twins all over Texas 8-0

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 02:27 PM) BTW - Neal Cotts is slowly turning into an unreliable arm out of the pen. I was just about to say am I the only one that doesnt trust Neal anymore....obviously not

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 06:10 PM) Robertson is ON tonight It's been one inning bro, Robertsons a tough cookie to face but I'll agree he sure did look sharp in the 1st
