South Side Fireworks Man

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.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Apr 15, 2007 -> 01:48 PM) Greg Walker = fired (hopefully) Was Eduardo Perez signed by anybody? If not, we should sign him up, trade Mack for a right-handed hitting OF who can play center, and send Anderson down so he's not rotting on the bench. Aaron Rowand?

I hope the Sox win tonight.

Michael "Michelle" Barrett.

QUOTE(Felix @ Apr 8, 2007 -> 10:43 AM) Starting lineups: Castillo, 2B; Punto, 3B; Mauer, C; Cuddyer, RF; Morneau, 1B; Hunter, CF; Redmond, DH; Tyner, LF; Bartlett, SS. Santana pitching. Ozuna, LF; Erstad, CF; Konerko, 1B; Thome, DH; Dye, RF; Crede, 3B; AJ, C; Iguchi, 2B; Uribe, SS. Danks making his ML debut. Basically what I expected. Pretty good lineup to throw in there against Santana, although I would have flipped Dye and Paulie.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Apr 7, 2007 -> 05:12 PM) Game only would have been better if Pods took out Mauer at home. I'm just happy the umpire called him safe. That play did turn the whole game around. Pods was picked off second but luckily the pitcher threw the ball into CF. Then, he was called safe at home on a very close play in which he may not have touched the plate. Let's hope things continue to go the Sox' way from now on!

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 5, 2007 -> 08:50 PM) If they have no place to play Baldelli then why the hell would they want another outfielder in Anderson? I don't know what it would cost the Sox to get him, or whether or not that cost would be worth it. But I sure would love to have Baldelli on the Sox roster in place of Podsednik.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 07:54 PM) :uhoh Do we need a team shrink. No, but El Duque would help Contreras.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2007 @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 04:33 PM) As one of like, well, I'm the only Pods supporter on this board. I can't even excuse or justify that. Pods should just forget about stealing bases right now. Get on base. That's it. I only saw a couple of his at-bats. But I did like that he was atleast working the pitchers. If Pods can't steal a base against Victor Martinez--a catcher who would have trouble throwing out AJ Pierzynski--then he is useless to the Sox and should be DL'd immediately. With the Sox' starting pitching being less than dominating, the Sox can't afford to carry Podsednik in LF. They need a real outfielder with a little pop in his bat. Short term answer would be to re-sign Eduardo Perez as a RH DH, and let Ozuna and Mackowiak platoon in LF until they find a real major league outfielder. And before anyone writes it, Anderson may wind up winning a starting job before all is said and done, but for right now the Sox need definite production from that position, not potential production.

If Ozzie knew what he was doing, Dye would be batting third with Thome fifth tomorrow.
