QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 01:19 PM) I've seen it. It be f***ing hilarious. It has electrolytes!!!

Its just horrible to me that we have only scored 39 runs thus far in this season. Thats 21 less that the freakin twins.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 12:03 PM) Wait, Rock, it's been hard to tell from your presence in this thread. Do you want Greg Walker fired? Ill rub your nose in this thread Steve

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 12:01 PM) There's a Springer studio audience's worth of f***heads in ever generation, including yours there Mr. Critic. You're just at the age that all of the "Young Whippersnappers" really piss you off. Thanks for sharing the story, Texsox... always good to hear. Its increasing though as generations of f***wads reproduce at a higher rate than people of intelligence, respect and honor. Watch the movie Idiocracy for a full breakdown.

My friend's bro did it. He seemed satisfied.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 11:53 AM) wouldn't this be a bit rash at this point? I can see if this continues for the whole month, but less than 15 games into the season? yikes. We havent even scored 40 runs yet. We are currently scoring runs at a worse pace than the f***ing Royals. Its time to stir things up before we are a lost cause.

With how dissapointing the Sox have been. Lost is a welcome thing on wed nights.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 11:03 AM) If it meant them winning 100 games this year, the TV would be on something else. But remember, its too cold for the hitters to hit. Its not me, its the freezing unbearable cold. True, bats are afraid of the cold.

Hey guess what. The playoffs in 2005 were not the warmest nights of the year, but we hit just fine. We hit better than the other team did. Greg you are f***ED here, resign or be fired.

Funny how it was warmer when Texas was at bat.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 10:50 AM) Sorry man, had no choice. I saw it pre-edit.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 10:48 AM) I am going to a company dinner tonight, wont be able to join until the game is well into its throws. Hopefully I come back to find that the sox took their heads out of their asses and have scored some runs. You know if you get done and we are winning, you arent allowed to watch the rest of the game.

Wes Clements Andy Tomberlin Who else?

QUOTE(caulfield12 @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 09:42 AM) You also have to take into consideration the stadiums and his stroke. He's a doubles hitter...balls in SF (unless hit by Bonds) don't easily fly out in RF, unless they're hit down the line. In Minnesota, you have the equivalent of the Green Monster, and he usually didn't the ball over the Hefty Bag. I would hope almost any player would hit more homers at New Comiskey, unless they came from Colorado. They should completely retool their line-up and move the dimensions back to that of Old Comiskey. Short of that, we're always looking to be a 3 run homer and a cloud of dust type of offense. With players such as Sweeney, Fields, Owens and Anderson coming up, I would hope JR and KW would seriously consider this option. Nope. He was an opposite field doubles hitter. Now he is a pull hitter. QUOTE(sircaffey @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 10:23 AM) What former White Sox player with KW hire to take Walker's spot? Robin Ventura.

QUOTE(SnB @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 09:37 AM) I'm sure glad I made the trip from champaign to see that debacle yesterday. seriously, sosa? MMAC had to throw it right on the fat part of his bat for him to hit it out. But it was horrible pitch selection by AJ. EVERYONE knows that Sosa couldnt even pick up that slider, yet we went with the fastball.

QUOTE(caulfield12 @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 09:30 AM) http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/stats?playerId=3948 His pitches per plate appearance numbers have actually improved over his time with Minnesota and SF, especially in 2005. He's been trending backwards the last 7 months. His career average is 3.29 3.56 in 2005, 3.36 in 2006 and down to 3.29 so far this year. He just SEEMED more pesky (along with Mientkiewicz, Koskie, Hocking, LeCroy, Guzman, Rivas) because of when he got the hits to give them one or two run victories over us. He has reached career highs in K's and Hr's with the sox. Coincidence?

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 09:00 AM) Millwood's line will be about the same as Tejeda's, as will Padilla's. If Buerhle and Vazquez don't step up it will be a long series. Glad ot see Garland gave up last night. I guess I wasn't the only one. Garland was nails until Crede's error. After that he gave up. With good reason, the offense wasnt going to do s*** for him. Lets hope they feel compelled to score runs for Mark tonight. Probably not though.

Seriously fire Greg Walker. Im sick of the debate and the walking around in a circle. Take AJP for example. This guy was one of the most annoying hitters in the division before he came here. He would see more pitches than anyone, would slap the ball all over the place, and would be a pain in the ass. Now, swing and a miss, or a pulled ground out. Its time to make a move, light a fire, and ditch Greg.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 09:09 AM) I will give Daley credit here, he knows he can't finance this on taxpayer backs in general, and he really has gotten local corporations to pony up for this. I don't doubt that cost over runs will happen, and we will end up paying something, but he has worked hard to pay for this. I believe the thing that put us over the top was a local insurance company ponying up 500 million.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 17, 2007 -> 10:41 PM) And Rock would be near the bottom of most everyone's list. You know it. its time to do this thing.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Apr 17, 2007 -> 10:37 PM) Rock, your avatar rules. There, I've said it. Thanks Kid! Bring up Walt, someone god dammit. Even Bainesy did a good job as a hitting instructor. If we want to shake this team up, fire the f***ing hitting coach. This team has been ill-prepared for too long. Let him go KW!!

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 17, 2007 -> 10:31 PM) It sure as s*** worked for Cleveland last year. Even if this somehow isn't Walker's doing you still need to can his ass, a firing right now would almost certainly fire up the offense. It works most every time. he has to go. Who was that hitting instructor who helped Juan break out of it? He is hired.

When a team struggles this badly, you HAVE to fire the hitting coach, you just have to. So many teams before us have done this to shake it up, and its time it happened. Thanks for the memories Greg, but you are OUT!
