Milkman delivers

Expect Getz to hit 40 points higher now. I may have asked this before, but why isn't Hriniak the hitting coach? We seem to send our guys with continual hitting problems to him, and he seems better than Walker. Also, how do you pronounce his name? I have just figured it was her-nee-ack.

Billy Wagner's agent's name is Bean Stringfellow.

I know almost nothing of chewing tobacco (I think everything I know about it comes from The Sandlot). Does it contain nicotene and a lot of the other crap in cigarettes.

In that situation, you drag said fielder into the street and shoot him.

I haven't started a game thread since...well, I can't remember. It's been a while. This means we'll either go on a ridiculous streak or come crashing down to Earth. You're welcome, Kyyle.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 08:28 AM) Right now Dye is hitting like Carl did in 05. It took them until what, the middle of September to make that move. Until our backs were up against the wall did Ozzie make that change. Our backs are beyond up against the wall. Dye needs to be moved out. He is providing nothing with the stick, and nothing in the field. Maybe he is tired, maybe he is hurt. I don't know. But its time to make a change. And on the way out the door, thankfully.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 07:26 AM) They wouldn't release him. No one would sign him for the rest of the season anyways, and the rosters expand soon enough as it is. It should be done as a statement.

I'm not even happy with this move. It just shows me that they don't even have the balls to flat-out cut his ass off of the team.

QUOTE (SockMe @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 10:25 PM) Detroit has a very tough stretch in Mid to late september. something like: 2 series against Minny, 2 against us, 1 at Cleveland I think that will make or break the Tigers. That doesn't sound all that tough to me.

QUOTE (VAfan @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 10:22 PM) One problem the Sox have is lack of accountability for terrible play. The BEST message the Sox could send this team would be to cut Jose Contreras tomorrow. Ozzie should also have some extended benching of anyone who is not hitting, including Dye and Konerko if necessary. And for players to make errors? They should ride the bench the next day. I'd also like to see Quentin back in the #3 hole in the lineup, ahead of Thome. Sox need a serious shake up. I really think we have the talent to compete. But we've got to cut the mistakes and dial up the intensity. Or we're going to get steamrolled. Ohhhh, I could not agree more.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 08:03 PM) Lance Cade wasn't really all that good, IMO and didn't he get released because of wellness failures? London and Kendrick were one of the best tag teams they have had in the past 10 years, which may not be saying much. Cade and Murdoch were one of the better tag teams of the recent past, too.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 08:05 PM) nice to see Buehrle and Ozzie laughing it up. I guess when you're paid millions it doesn't hurt to suck. I turned this off a while ago. Tell me that isn't happening.

Cutting Contreras would serve two purposes. It would prevent him from ever pitching another game for this team, plus there's a decent chance it would send a message to the rest of the pieces of crap.

I only started this thread as a joke in response to what BigSqwert said in another thread. Somehow I knew it would have wheels.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 07:51 PM) He is a throwback sox player from the early part of this century. He is a bonified pull monkey. Anyone that throws him an inside pitch should be benched immediately. Just keep feeding him crap off the zone. You throw one fastball down the middle for strike one because he doesnt swing at strike one, and you are set. Still though, I think he should start over Getz.

Revisit.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 07:32 PM) We need to start showing some support for Jose. As long as we keep perpuating this myth that he can't perform, we are going to get this result. He just needs a confidence boost. I hope that next time he pitches at the Cell....he gets a standing ovation when heading to the mound to start the game. If we can restore his faith, we are more likely to get a guy who pitches like Lamar Hoyt....rather than one who pitches like Jose DeLeon I can only assume you're joking. If Jose Contreras is not designated for assignment and he starts another game for the White Sox, I suggest that nobody even show up to the park. Boycott the game, and I'm being as serious as possible.

I swear to f***ing Christ Almighty, this guy better be f***ing cut immediately. Cut him immediately. I don't even give a s*** what he did for us in 2005 anymore...it's no reason to keep him around now. Get off this f***ing team.

I want to shoot myself in the f***ing head. Then I wouldn't have to watch this walking embarrassment anymore. CUT THIS WORTHLESS PIECE OF s*** BEFORE THE GAME EVEN ENDS.

You're a joke, Jose. The most painful pitcher to watch.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 05:03 PM) I'm surprised, because I would think you would like him since he uses a lot more mat-wrestling techniques. IMO, he's probably the 3 best wrestlers not signed to TNA or WWE. If you have time check out any of the matches he had with Homicide in 06 or his matches with Takeshi Morishima Not another Mankind/Dude Love/Cactus Jack thing, I assume.

I wish.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 04:02 PM) He had some good solo songs. If by "some" you mean It Don't Come Easy (which was reportedly written by George Harrison), then you're right.

In or out? Either way, BigSqwert will need a new computer.
