i heard of this fight and always wanted to see it. is there a video out there?

QUOTE(danman31 @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 09:14 PM) 5-4 over Detroit when the Sox didn't look good. GREAT job by the bullpen. great game by uribe erstad i guess

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 09:06 PM) haha I ws thinking the same thing..I wish i had the exact quote of DJ just now. "u cant imagine all the the good things erstad brings.." some shi* like that, "coming through with clutch hits"

QUOTE(DrunkBomber @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 09:05 PM) Erstad???are you kidding me lol the erstad love continues with dj and hawk.

2b. bobby better not blow this since ozzie used our whole pen in 3 innings(boone)

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 08:28 PM) Good lord, Aaaaaaaaardsma is ridiculous.. lol and supossably the cubs and sox were trading "garbage for garbage"

would it cost more than 18mil to get andruw?(yea a bit off subject..)

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 08:08 PM) I'll take Pods in LF, BA in CF ANYDAY over this awesome leadoff hitter we have right now...but its still a lose-lose to me fathom, you know how that goes ugh, i would LOVE to have andruw in center ..wishful thinking!

QUOTE(caulfield12 @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 07:48 PM) Hey, Brandon McCarthy got knocked out of his start in Oakland in the 2nd inning...LOL. 9.60 era lol. wow. no one can complain about this deal(even though its still early)

QUOTE(caulfield12 @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 07:46 PM) Since when does Grilli throw 97? Well, it's a very straight 97 at least... 97? wtf, i dont remember him throwing that hard with the sox...

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 07:33 PM) If that was Anderson in CF, I'm sure there would be blame put on him for not taking over. if anderson was out there, it never would have fallen. i see him take charge plenty of times, even when juan ran out there. so yea, erstad is basically useless to this team right now. he should be on the bench

QUOTE(PlunketChris @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 07:29 PM) Charge Juan "great defense" Uribe with 3 earned runs ugh i hate that. yea, its nice that he hustles out there, tries to make the catch, but man, thats an outfielders ball, either mack or erstad should have caught that

*sighs* things dont look too good right now.....and we face detroit next. theyre going to totally shut us down..

BMac hasnt been that great but he hasnt been awful either, 6ip, 3 er, 6ip 2er, thats ok. its just the last start, 2ip, 7 runs

Lets not wake these guys up, makes me feel better knowing their struggling like us, even more so.. Young: .200, 2, 9 Blalock: .256, 0, 1 Teixeira: .233, 0, 2 Sosa: .175, 2, 7 Catalanotto: .167, 2, 7 Wilkerson: .222, 1, 4 Laird: .129, 0, 2

QUOTE(HeGone33 @ Apr 12, 2007 -> 02:22 PM) Michael Barrett........listening to him talk makes me want to punch him in the face. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 11:18 AM) Let's go Sox! if we do i will s*** whats wrong with playing in milwaukee?

hopefully jose can give us atleast 6 great innings. our pen will do the rest, its been lights out lately

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 06:10 PM) The good news is that it would seem logical (not that logic is a friend to Ozzie Guillen) for Pods to sut vs. a lefty tomorrow. An even better idea might be to change the locks on the door to the lockerroom so Ozzie can't even try to play Pods tomorrow. well, he already said on the boers and bernstien show yesterday that pods would play tomorrow

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 05:58 PM) KW and Ozzie talked about playing grinder baseball, and playing it the right way. Well maybe they should play twins games in the lockerroom to see how a guy with men on puts the ball in play and doesnt K falling over, or misses several 91 mph fastballs down the middle of the plate trying to be a hero. Its time to walk to the walk. well in order to do that, you need those kind of players. pods, uribe, gooch, arent exactly grinder/phirana type players. im sure we all wish that everyone played like ersatd but they just dont. i love the twins style of playing, its just great they do everything right when they have to so they can win a game

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 05:27 PM) Although it's the off-season move I probably dislike the most and was 90% sure throughout the 2nd half of last year that he wouldn't be brought back, all of us knew he would be the starting LF and leading off when he was re-signed. right now, the sox would look good with nixon in left and erstad in center. didnt we sign pods for 2.9 and they got nixon for 3 mil?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 05:35 PM) Is there a difference between working the count and just not swinging? It didn't seem like he was really getting anywhere, he would just watch the pitches into the glove until he either K'd looking or found the courage to hit the ball weakly somewhere. I never got the feeling he was really taking pitches with the intent to put himself in a better position to get on base, unlike Erstad who looked like a champ at the plate today, s*** in the field but a champ at the plate. ^^^^^ he was really making me mad. it seemed like he saw 50 pitches and only swung 5 times. so many were right down the middle. i think the sox would be perfectly fine with erstad leading off.

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 05:27 PM) Can we pull any positives out of the first two games? yea; i know its early but joe "blow" borowski doesnt look too good. its way different pitching in th a.l. than the n.l. i thought he would struggle and he got lucky today.

QUOTE(Top Notch @ Apr 2, 2007 -> 08:42 PM) For the record: Santana: 6 IP, 7 H, 4 Runs Bedard: 5 IP, 10 H, 6 Runs Schilling: 4 IP, 8 H, 5 Runs Pavano: 4.1 IP, 6 H, 5 Runs Kazmir: 5 IP, 6 H, 5 Runs Lowe: 4 IP, 8 H, 6 Runs Zambrano: 5 IP, 6 H, 5 Runs and, like i mentioned, carpenter:5er, in 5ip i believe. (ha, brad lidge blew a save already)

QUOTE(Felix @ Apr 2, 2007 -> 08:13 PM) Yes, but Jose was never an ace in the first place. yea i guess, but he did have that one stretch were he won 17 in a row. to me there are only about 3 aces. santana, halladay and carpenter:true aces. maybe webb
