I like PK 3rd and Dye 4th. Works for me.

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Jun 3, 2006 -> 01:20 PM) Uribe is getting worse and worse as far as swinging wildly and at everything. As awful as he has been this year he's had a handful of hits over the last 10 games or so. Perhaps he's slowing breaking out of his funk? Just checked ESPN.com and he is hitting .304 in the last 7 days.

ESPN.com has a poll on their MLB homepage asking who the best 2B is in the AL. Iguchi 4th out of 4. Cano and Loretta leading. What a surprise. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/index?&lpos=...&lid=gn_MLB_MLB

QUOTE(MSHAWKS @ Jun 3, 2006 -> 12:43 PM) You sit on the concourse? Doesn't that clog foot traffic? He likes to do pilates during the game.

I guess we should expect Ozzie's next press conference to mention the banners on Soxtalk and how they have affected the team's play.

Any status on Thome?

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 3, 2006 -> 08:46 AM) What's next, are you going to refuse to throw opponents home run balls back? Heh. All the s*** could bother me less as long as the Sox are kicking ass.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 3, 2006 -> 01:41 AM) So...before this week, the Tigers and the Sox were both at the bottom of the league in strength of schedule. This week, the Tigers have played the Yankees and Red Sox, the White Sox have played the Blue Jays, Tribe, and now Texas, and both are getting their asses handed to them. I'm really starting to wonder...maybe the AL Central just isn't as good as it looked coming into this season, and maybe the Tigers and White Sox have really just been feasting on mediocre competition. Now all of a sudden both of them are losing left and right as their schedules get tougher. I was thinking the same thing but felt I would have been blasted for doubting our team.

QUOTE(DePloderer @ Jun 3, 2006 -> 04:28 AM) So it must be me who is the jinx. I shall take myself off to a monastory and hope for enlightenment in the art of "posotive" banner construction. I may be away for some time. For crying out loud the Sox playing like s*** has nothing to do with any jinx. The team isn't very good right now, nor is the management of the team.

I'll be at the game, sitting during the wave.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jun 2, 2006 -> 11:51 PM) Nice jump from discussing Mackowiak not being able to read balls to saying we should put Thome there, sarcastically. Last time I checked, corner outfielders were supposed to know how to judge a ball's jump, too. Well that's why he's a corner outfielder and not a centerfielder.

BTW - Listening to John Rooney on gameday audio right now. Zero chemistry with his partner. At least in this inning.

QUOTE(Benchwarmerjim @ Jun 2, 2006 -> 11:07 PM) Johan Santana pitched a gem tonigh 8 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 9 K retired the last 19 batters he face the one run was a Frank homerun AND he got the win 2-1 the final They are creeping back into the mix with the awful week from Detroit and the Sox.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jun 2, 2006 -> 11:16 PM) That doesn't excuse him from being unable to read the ball. Then throw Jim Thome out there.

Anyone like to see Montero get another shot?

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jun 2, 2006 -> 10:42 PM) ...but I expect far much more from Mackowiak. He's a corner utility outfielder asked to patrol CF.

No more "We still have the 2nd best record in baseball" responses. We now dropped to 5th best record.

3 runs on 12 hits. Terrific.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Jun 2, 2006 -> 10:24 PM) I say we overpay and reacquire Rowand. 2 prospects and McCarthy. Put the crack pipe down.

Can't really blame the pitching. 4 runs vs a very potent Ranger lineup. What about 3 runs on 11 hits? Unacceptable.

There are the cobwebs I was referring to with Jenks.

Pitch 35 of the at bat.

"He was throwing the ball good. He was just making bad pitches." WTF does that mean?

9th inning...tie game. Where's the wave? I'm surprised.

Damn. Sounded good off the bat.
