Swisher's teammates were barely congratulating him while he was faux-headbutting and what not. They must be so sick of him.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 1, 2010 -> 02:38 PM) I really wish we had a second lefty in the bullpen we could trust. I'm still working on 'second righty'

o my best pal made out with a Sergio Mitre ex

Old man gets good luck

I still like working him in there against righties a fair share. I know what the #s say, but this lineup flat out needs a lefty. A non-Pierre one.

Talking about people when they're bad is cheering the team on. We are keeping their business afloat by buying tickets, jerseys, and indirectly just by being on this board giving them our attention. Our addiction to the team (and our addiction to yelling about how bad they can be) is something the White Sox people would privately tell you they thrive on. I see a win-win here fella.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 1, 2010 -> 12:40 PM) Well, when all of you, in unison, repeat the same negative crap over and over and over again, I mean seriously, why do you all do this to yourselves? You guys are calling for negative things to happen before they even happen. What is pain to you may not be pain in others. I am very happy to complain. Not just in baseball either.

I like this. KW take a long hard look at what you put together and completely change the team's philosophy. Redefine what a leadoff hitter has to be. There's nothing wrong with him just being a good hitter. Take a long hard look at what AJ brings and see if you can afford that lack of throwing arm anymore. I've always been an Ozzie fan but it may be time to have him out if he cant adapt with the changing landscape, the realities of the new parks, etc.

Carlos chasing garbage....

Just flipping around to this, but shouldn't part of the point of Sports Entertainment (as opposed to sports) be that we don't have to hear the word "draft pick" ?

Is it better for us if SD decides to trade Adrian Gonzalez soon? or later in the year? I would think later. If SD keeps winning that allows (1) Boston to have to turn elsewhere before their season goes to pot (2) allows Jared Mitchell perhaps to get healthy by the very end of the year and prove his value to teams once again (3) allows another Sox prospect to potentially step up his value and get into the trade conversation(Morel?)

Pointless to discuss right now, but had we won the Johnny Damon sweepstakes... we'd have this weird situation where Andruw Jones should be playing everyday and Juan Pierre should be sitting in favor of Damon. Or maybe not. I dont know. But still I'll post.

Right now our offense is led by the biggest question marks. Rios, Jones and Teahen. Decent career offensive players AJ and Pierre not coming through. X-factors CQ and Becks not coming through.

I dont swear a ton these days but I just yelled YES MF like 90 times

Wish Lillibridge was on the roster.

Hypothesis: Bobby bad in non-save situations because he has fed off of guys overswinging (while they're team's down) for years Is this thing already proven? Not to say closing is easy, but Jenks sure seems to benefit from nervous hitters year after year.

Hear that Balta, Tim Mccarver agrees with me that the Sox bullpen is the strongest part of our roster. I guess this officially means you're right, Garcia should have pitched the 7th.

yes Tim Mccarver. Explain your Jenks-Jinx pun 3 times for us.

What are the stats on Pierre's tendency to get picked off? Anyone have that off the top of their head?

On a related note, I heard they performed a total face transplant in Spain.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Apr 24, 2010 -> 05:06 PM) De-Facer?? It was just slightly noticeable but he caught a fly out real close to his face

Andruw Jones almost suffered a De-Facer

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 24, 2010 -> 04:58 PM) And you don't pull your starter out after 6 innings when he's retired 7 in a row and thrown 77 pitches. That's terrible bullpen management too. You dont worry about Freddy's arm tiring later in games? He's not just any starter.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Apr 24, 2010 -> 04:58 PM) And play who? Kotsay or Vizquel ? Tyler Flowers of course.
