QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 19, 2007 -> 08:02 PM) Got home just in time to see Mackowiak miss a catchable fly ball. Not quite sure why Vazquez started that inning. Oh well, maybe we can hit one more homer. Why not?

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Apr 19, 2007 -> 07:58 PM) Mcdooogal is very unimpressive Seems alright to me.

QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ Apr 19, 2007 -> 07:46 PM) can anybody catch the ball in LF? Erstad or Anderson.

I guess there will be no whining about A.J.'s pitch calling here tonight. Congrats to Mark, A.J., and the Sox' offense! Now let's get on a roll!

Nice pitching by Mark, Nice game calling by A.J., and the offense came alive!

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 17, 2007 -> 09:34 PM) 2 of the stooges are seriously killing this team right now too. Crede is in one of the biggest slumps of his life at the plate, everything is a weak popout with him and his defense has been incredibly bad as well. AJ is calling some of the worst pitches I've ever seen like that fastball to Sosa on an 0-2 count, WTF? AJ seriously needs to work a count, he's swinging at the first or second pitch in every AB and flying out the LF or RF. I'd say the stooges are one of the bigger problems this team has right now. A.J. was two for three tonight. Sure he called for a fastball when a slider may have been a better choice, but he didn't want Mac to throw it right down the middle. He set up on the outer third of the plate and probably expected the ball to tail away.

QUOTE(Sonik22 @ Apr 17, 2007 -> 08:59 PM) Kinsler is good. That is all. Can someone tell me what Ozzie said right at the end of his press conference? It sure sounded like he said "Sammy better be ready because he will get hit." I'm pretty sure I must have misunderstood him, but it sure sounded like that's what he said.

Nice job by Logan.

Twins up 2-0 in the first inning...

The Sox are playing like s***, but some of you people here are ridiculous with your comments. Some of you deserve what's happening to your "favorite" team.

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Apr 17, 2007 -> 08:13 PM) I agree that MacDougal is the best we've got. Which is exactly why he shouldn't be out there tonight. Sosa takes him deep. Nice.

Detroit took the lead 7-6.

QUOTE(SoxGovernment @ Apr 17, 2007 -> 07:25 PM) Instead of soxtalk this place should be called B.i.t.c.h. B.i.t.c.h. Moan Moan Or SoxWhine.com B)

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 17, 2007 -> 04:06 PM) Rowand/Erstad/Dye Erstad Rowand Thome Konerko Dye Crede Iguchi Pierzynski Uribe How does that grab ya? Fine. I'd probably put Rowand in CF and Erstad in LF, and flip Iguchi and Rowand in the order, but Ozzie would probably do it the opposite.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 17, 2007 -> 04:00 PM) I have a frightening thought for you. Its halloween scary. What if Boone is up to show he can get major leaguers out, to tempt the Phillies to send over Ozzies favorite grinder. They need bullpen pitching, like they are digging off the scrap heap right now. Since it appears Ozzie is unwilling to put Anderson in a position to succeed here anyway, reacquiring Rowand would be a good move by KW. He's the only one Ozzie would allow to even get close to CF in place of Erstad anyway.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Apr 16, 2007 -> 06:15 PM) Ugh, ...Pie is a bust. He's playing pretty well for a "bust" today.

QUOTE(DrunkBomber @ Apr 16, 2007 -> 05:52 PM) But Erstad is such a GRINDER. Sorry, I just thought this thread needed that He'd fit well in that eighth hole.

That whole Sox winter ball in Venezuela episode was a fiasco last winter. Razor Shines was fired, the rest of the Sox players walked off the team and Anderson along with I think at least one other player got seriously ill. The Sox should stay away from playing down there anyway. Don't they have winter ball in Puerto Rico or Mexico?

QUOTE(The Critic @ Apr 16, 2007 -> 07:37 PM) I don't care what they do with him, I'm just real tired of seeing his name at this point. He's the new Brandon McCarthy. I agree. It's apparent Anderson and Ozzie can't coexist. Get rid of one or the other, or both for all I care. I'm just sick of the whole Ozzie/Anderson soap opera. It's not good for the Sox or Anderson.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Apr 16, 2007 -> 06:15 PM) Ugh, Pinella is horrific and Pie is a bust. So it would be a fair trade then. Frankly, I'm sick of the Ozzie/Anderson soap opera.

Erstad should be batting eighth, not sixth. Go Pods, Iguchi, Dye, Thome, Konerko, Pierzynski, Crede, Erstad, Uribe. But Ozzie won't.

Trade Ozzie and Anderson to the Cubs for Piniella and Pie.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Apr 15, 2007 -> 09:36 PM) It sure felt like 2-4 though... You got that right!

QUOTE(JDsDirtySox @ Apr 15, 2007 -> 09:15 PM) From new article on whitesox.com With these struggles in mind, Guillen was contemplating a few lineup changes for Tuesday's series opener at home against Texas, after Sunday's loss left the White Sox with a 2-4 record on this six-game road trip. I could have sworn the Sox were 3-3 on this road trip.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Apr 15, 2007 -> 02:16 PM) I wouldn't mind that at all. I was looking at Jay Payton, too. Maybe Brady Clark, although he was just traded to the Dodgers. I agree.
