if he comes back and the sox start losing then you have to bench and go back to what was working. Pauly has a history of sucking and I see no reason why he should just waltz back into the starting spot.

I'd just as soon trade Paulie or leave him on the DL. Not like his numbers are much better than Uribe this year.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 21, 2008 -> 01:22 AM) ...? I understand better overall team - I disagree with it, but that's not the point. How can you get less output and have more production? That does not logically make sense. I'm not saying more production, I'm saying more productive. Whoever plays will be faster and probably have better at bats than Paulie. When he is cold we might as well have the pitcher hit.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 20, 2008 -> 04:41 PM) -This final one is probably worst of them all... not bunting Anderson over. It's tied in the 9th inning and you don't try and move the runner along and instead go for 2 run homer? I could see rational in this move if Thome has been good this season, but he's been horrid for the majority of the time. Pablo Ozuna should have been in to either bunt Anderson over or to push the ball over to the right side which would have had the same effect. That way you could then either go for the squeeze with Cabrera up or hope for a single/sac fly. exactly, a big hit is not needed. Just get Anderson to third. then let OC or AJ get him in. Simple baseball strategy right there. If Anderson is not on then you PH Thome. bad move right there.

I don't think we will have the same output but we will be more productive and a better overall team.

well it's not as though Paulie was doing that much until recently anyways so it really makes no difference. at least those two wont pop up twice a game with a 6-4-3 dp.

I really like the look of this team without Konerko. We are scoring runs without his pop outs and DPs to the shortstop with one out. If the sox keep on winning like this I say keep paulie on the bench.

here's the thing that always irks me. Where I live out in the burbs it is very pro-cubs. I don't care if someone is a cub fan. However, I get such s*** for wearing Sox gear. I have never seen any Sox fan do the same to a cubs fan. Even at the Cell. Both times I have been to Wrigley I have seen Sox fans pestered until security has to remove them. Not once have I seen that at the cell. Marty Benniman is exactly right, they are the most annoying fans in the game. A game I used to play in school was to ask cub fans to name 5 players on the Cubs. most struggled. At the same time, Sox fans could name about 15 cubs easily plus about 5 on every other team.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 29, 2008 -> 05:10 PM) Home runs for Paulie and Thome tonight? possibly but I bet paulie pops up.

I'll take hatteberg over paulie any day of the week.

another move that just makes us deeper than last year. I'm glad KW learned from last year. You can never be too deep.

call it a hunch but I bet its either Dye or PK going. Swisher to 1B/LF and either BA or Owens in CF.

Thomas has the 4th highest OBP. by a right handed hitter behind Hornsby, Foxx, and Pujols. Pujols has a .4214 to Frank's .4203. That right there makes him a hall of famer

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 17, 2008 -> 03:39 PM) ozzie has to be approaching a personal record for most games using the same lineup already this year well that lineup has been used 9 times, 10 if you count today. IN 2007 our most common lineup was used 7 times. In '06 21 times. '05 was 6 times, and '04 was 4 games. so only 11 games left to go. thank you baseball-reference.

Billy Jo Robidoux, Carlos Martinez, Don Slaught, Pat Borders, Dale Sveum,

Gload would have been nice to have last year.

Change my vote? I still like the trade. was anybody upset at the trade?

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Mar 4, 2008 -> 09:54 AM) If anyone saw Eric Young on BBTN the other day, Singleton is desperately needed there warts and all. I am convinced that ESPN never heard Eric Young speak before hiring him.

QUOTE(Hawkfan @ Feb 27, 2008 -> 07:17 PM) The Cell is too good for them. If the cubs want the same quality as wrigley they should look into kane county cougars stadium. Cubs fans would love it, they would be mystified by the grassy hill behind the left foul line so they could keep up the tradition of not watching the game. They also might sacrifice their aweing and cell phone talking when they announce derek lees name as he strolls to the dish. Isn't Alexian Field in Schaumburg supposed to be modeled after Wrigley? after checking, yes it it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexian_Field

Baines had a good year in 96. just as good as Franco.

If I remember correctly, Pete Rose Jr. was ready to be a replacement player for the sox in 95. Along with Junior Ortiz and Oil Can Boyd.

My AJP action figure came with a pic-a-nic basket
