South Side Fireworks Man

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 10:31 PM) The Cubs need someone who can come into the game in the later innings and play the OF and actually catch the ball. Maybe even play against lefties and give Pie a break. The Sox could use a right handed batter who actually can hit. Murton can't field but he can hit and has nowhere to play for the Cubs. Anderson for Murton could be a good deal. I think Anderson will be the better player in a couple of years, but I have a hard time believing he's going to be very successful with the Sox. I hear you, but the only problem is then we're back to Mack as our backup CF.

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 10:24 PM) He does not belong on this roster. He is finally getting a chance to prove his worth and he's making some sloppy plays in the outfield and looking terrible at the plate. I wonder how other organizations rate Anderson right now. Do they still see him as a potential starter? Would the Phillies take him for Rowand, a soon to be FA, straight up?

Anderson almost looked like Mackowiak there.

Anderson always jumps back from every strike thrown over the inner third of the plate.

I like Uribe.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 08:59 PM) I think there's a shot he could be interested in being a catcher and my guess is the club prefers him to Molina. But I also know the Sox have told him he could coach (at least in the past) in the org so maybe they are about to announce something. Either way he's more than welcome in the dugout because he's a great baseball guy. As of yesterday he was playing for the Albuquerque Isotopes which I believe is affiliated with the Mets. I'm surprised the Mets would allow him to sit in another ML team's dugout. Did they release him?

Today's Lineup Erstad, DH; Iguchi, 2B; Konerko, 1B; AJ, C; Dye, RF; Crede, 3B; Mackowiak, LF; Uribe, SS; Anderson, CF. Vazquez pitching.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 09:31 PM) my bad all the"Konerko sucks", "Konerko is worthless", "Konerko is an idiot" posts made me think some members of this fine website wanted him gone. The game threads around here are an embarassment and make Sox fans look bad.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 09:14 PM) Very encouraging to see Konerko finally hitting. If he stays hot, expect a prolonged win streak. That's exactly what I am expecting!

Sox win again.

Facing Gload here makes me nervous. The man can hit.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 03:15 PM) Paulie needs a day off. I agree. FWIW, A.J. said he has a feeling Paulie is going to have a great series in KC. I hope he's right and we're wrong!

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 22, 2007 -> 03:48 PM) What a terrible f***ing day of baseball. Cards failed to get the runner from 3rd in with no outs in the 9th, and then Rolen doesn't guard the line to prevent a double. I've got two words for you: Albert Pujols.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 22, 2007 -> 03:46 PM) Oh BTW water is pink, the sky is orange and Ozzie loves Brian. You almost had me after the first two, but after the third one I knew you were bulls***ting.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Apr 22, 2007 -> 03:14 PM) His usuall stuff. "It was a ballgame, that's all" "you can't win them all" "Logan lossing the game was a good thing because it could have caused more relievers to be used" Anybody saying anything about why Thornton wasn't used today?

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Apr 22, 2007 -> 03:13 PM) On the other hand, the Tigers don't look that good to me. I think we should beat them out this year: we have a better lineup (and hopefully we get our heads out of our asses and start showing it), a better bullpen, and comparable starting pitching. Cleveland scares the crap out of me when we play them, but they don't do as well against the rest of the league as they do against us. I don't know about having a better lineup. I agree with the rest of your post.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 22, 2007 -> 03:10 PM) Don't worry, he'll be back here as soon as he's a FA. Too late to help us win this year.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Apr 22, 2007 -> 03:10 PM) I had to shut off PFB before I threw my radio out the window, with my computer following. What has he been saying today?

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 22, 2007 -> 02:53 PM) After the first swing by Thames, he should have not seen another fastball. Thames has been hitting like s***, and Aardsma just missed his spot with that pitch. Look at where A.J. set up and where the pitch was thrown.

Sox win again! Take that, whiners.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 21, 2007 -> 11:07 AM) I notice a lot of scenarios that have been discussed by KW/Ozzie in the last week that imply Anderson will be heading back down once Pods gets back. Then Mack will be the backup CF again. Wonderful.

Sox win again.

It would have been more interesting if it were A.J. tagging from third on that play.

Not very funny.

A.J. is so cool.
