Milkman delivers

Iguchi is so f'n good. Now it's time to score some runs...please.

QUOTE(KWs OK for Me @ May 11, 2005 -> 02:55 PM) Is Iguchi bunting? Question of the Day I hope they don't make that mistake again.

Looks like Timo isn't entirely useless.

Brazelton's really focusing on Ozuna.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 11, 2005 -> 02:52 PM) the get a shorter bat club? The Promote Brian Anderson Club.

Ozuna walks. Funny that the two guys on the team that should be leading off over Timo have walked.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 11, 2005 -> 02:49 PM) someone tell Pablo to get a bat shorter than 6 feet long. Count me in your club.

25 pitches for the Duke through 2 innings. 29 for Brazelton.

Hollins should be stealing any second now.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 11, 2005 -> 02:38 PM) You mean like getting walks and stealing bases? Not when it's followed by consecutive pop-ups.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 11, 2005 -> 02:36 PM) Every single player seems to be swinging out of their ass. Greg Walker has to be held responsible for the s*** that's happening with a lot of our hitters. Simply a terrible approach by way too many players. Should Walker even be coaching this kind of team? Can he? I think that guy only knows how to teach someone to swing for the fences.

Uribe needs to take a pitch here and there.

K's Crawford. Quick 1-2-3 for the Duke. I hope this isn't like Contreras last night...he had a quick 1st inning, too.

QUOTE(mreye @ May 11, 2005 -> 02:27 PM) Wow! Bottom of the 1st and I see it's very optimistic in here. :headshake When Timo is leading off, Dye is the DH, and Konerko is clean-up, there isn't much reason to be optimistic.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 11, 2005 -> 02:26 PM) Konerko and Dye are hitless in the Tampa series so far, and the only hits Everett had were two infield hits. Besides like two hits apiece in Toronto, when was the last time either of those guys had a hit?

I hate Jermaine Dye. Seriously, how far away is Anderson? I know they'll never bench Dye, I just want to know.

Yay, Dye is up.

Iguchi walked and stole second, but we had Timo leading off.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 11, 2005 -> 02:01 PM) If you would like to jump in the contest, just make a pick under the appropriate game each day before the first pitch of the game. Contest is open to all, no sign ups are necesary, just post your pick, at the link underneath http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showforum=16 Ah, thanks. I hadn't noticed that.

"[Podsednik] is the key on this team," manager Ozzie Guillen said. "If he gets on base, we can do a lot of different things." So Ozzie decides to bench him against a righty and an old catcher. And with a pure stroke of genius, he places Timo "I suck so much" Perez in the lead-off spot.

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ May 11, 2005 -> 01:51 PM) I don't like Pods not being in the line up either... should be benching Konerko and Dye for this one... Exf***inactly. I really don't understand why Dye is in this game. Konerko has no replacement right now, but Dye does not need to be starting. He sucks so much right now.Great, he's out of the field. Now he can only hurt us with his bat.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 11, 2005 -> 01:45 PM) Don't forget there is only about half an hour to get in your picks to click!!! Uribe, with Iguchi a close second.

Dye as a DH? Carl has been in a slump, but he's still better than that sack of hot garbage. Timo leading off? Pods would be going against a lefty. Timo is slow and will swing for the fences. Konerko still batting clean-up? Well, I have no answer for this one. There's nobody else to really take his spot. I think Iguchi or Ozuna should be leading off. Timo?! I hate our RF situation. I can't wait for Anderson.

It's official: Shingo is Billy Koch f*** f*** f*** f*** f*** f*** f*** f*** :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead I can't help but feel that this is going to start a huge downward spiral.

I smell another walkoff in fine Koch-style from last year. I really hope that doens't happen, though, because that's the type of thing that will send this team into a downward spiral.
