South Side Fireworks Man

QUOTE (flavum @ May 11, 2014 -> 01:42 PM) Really was hoping for a win today, and a 5-4 road trip before 4 with the Yankees. Team looks flat...and dumb. It's early yet.

Noesi is da man!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 11, 2014 -> 01:33 PM) Again, one solution to some of this is practice. Viciedo and Garcia are both young and Viciedo in particular has less experience at the position he's playing than he does at 3b because of how much we've shifted them around. If we're this inconsistent in where guys play we shouldn't expect them to be very good at it. Yeah and as bad as he's been on defense he's still been better defensively than Garcia and Sierra have been, and De Aza hasn't looked much better. I wish they could acquire one more good all around outfielder - a good hitter who also plays good defense.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ May 11, 2014 -> 01:22 PM) His name is Adam Eaton Yeah one halfway decent defensive outfielder on the roster. What do you do about Avi Garcia, De Aza, Sierra, Viciedo, etc.? You could live with Viciedo at DH but the others mentioned are worse defensively and aren't good enough hitters to be exclusively DH.

Hawk is crazy saying that should have been a "team error." That should have been an error given to De Aza plain and simple. In 2012 De Aza was one of my favorite players. It's gotten to the point now where I don't care if he ever plays another game for the Sox. The Sox better do something to improve their outfield defense.

Someone tell Bill we didn't get Eaton and Davidson for Reed.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 10, 2014 -> 09:28 PM) I really admire how this team makes so many games interesting. Compared to last year, this has been a unforgettable season so far. I agree. Even when they fall behind by a few runs you still have a feeling they may come back. Last year if they fell behind by a couple of runs early you just dreaded that the game was likely over.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 10, 2014 -> 09:13 PM) What the hell happened to Hawk when he was signing off? QUOTE (fathom @ May 10, 2014 -> 09:13 PM) What happened? His voice trailed off and he sounded heartbroken like he just realized the Sox lost or maybe he just got some bad news.

Paulie had his chances but didn't get it done.

Stolen Base for Alexei! A hit now ties it.

Alright Alexei! Now let's win it, Paulie!

Nice hit Gillaspie!

Great job by Webb pitching over the bad defense. Now let's smoke this sucker!

Alex Rios would have had that.

I'm pretty confident we'll get to Reed. I never was a big fan of him anyway. Just got to hold them here.

Bad baserunning by Flowers.

Nice turn of the DP.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 10, 2014 -> 08:28 PM) I wouldn't mind trading Davidson back for Reed...0-3, 3K tonight for Nestor Molina 2.0 If we could just trade Davidson for Reed, A. Garcia for Peavey and L. Garcia for Alex Rios .....

Why does Hawk keep talking about instant replay? He knows it does not apply to balls and strikes.

Get him out of there.

The strong arm of Alexei!

Tumbleweeds!

Abreu is a monster!

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 9, 2014 -> 07:50 PM) We really have no other choice until Eaton comes back I never thought I'd say this, but might as well put Dunn in LF (shudder) and Konerko at 1B until Eaton comes back.

The White Sox (players) just don't quit.
