Awesome road trip.

QUOTE(CWSOX45 @ May 31, 2006 -> 08:21 PM) If you want to b**** about someone not hitting, b**** about Uribe. Great idea. Now I think we all finally have someone to blame.

QUOTE(ThinWhiteDuque @ May 31, 2006 -> 08:19 PM) When you have two other position players hitting like pitchers (SS, CF), you can't afford to have Vince Coleman in your lineup as well. So basically you are all for the corpseball power hitting team from 2002-2004?

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ May 31, 2006 -> 08:19 PM) We saw what the pitching was capable of last year. No guarantees that it will resemble last year's staff when it's all said and done. Being good on paper and actually getting the job done are 2 different things.

Why is Cliff still on this team? Absolutely worthless right now.

How many consecutive scoreless innings for our offense now? 13?

Awesome. Matt Ginter.....er, Cliff Politte in.

Ozzie has been brutal as far as keeping guys in too long.

Pitch number 217 by Freddy.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ May 31, 2006 -> 08:03 PM) On the banner, what is that last picture of BA? Looks like he's waiting for a pigeon to land on his arm. Actually it's a Hawk.

Greg Walker go on vacation?

Way to make the pitcher work when he's up to 99 pitches.

I think Farmer went back to his hotel room.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ May 31, 2006 -> 07:26 PM) So, anyone want to give me a quick update? I see its 2-0 and we have 5 hits, they have 4. But how have we played? see 2003 White Sox

QUOTE(rudylaw @ May 31, 2006 -> 07:24 PM) Is he any good at SS any more? Yeah. He comes out in a wheelchair.

QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ May 31, 2006 -> 07:10 PM) i smell a major funk coming on. That's just my B.O. It's very humid here.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ May 31, 2006 -> 07:09 PM) First Corpseball reference logged at 7:05. Many more to follow.

Sunny right now but it poured an hour ago.

Dang. Wanted BA to get a chance against a crappy right-handed pitcher.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 31, 2006 -> 01:16 PM) If Dye is not an all star, its a crime. Sheffield, Matsui and Crisp cant handle his jock this year. Crisp has been awesome this year in the 3 or so games he has played.

QUOTE(UC76 @ May 31, 2006 -> 11:50 AM) I think Cleveland will heat up CC doesn't pitch 7 games each week.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 31, 2006 -> 11:58 AM) It's just so awesome to have a ball smoked into CF but be able to say "BA's got it". You don't have that luxury with anyone else currently in the organization let alone in all of baseball. That sort of defense is invaluable but at the same time, at some point he needs to start producing at the plate. Well that's what is so damn frustrating. To be so good on defense yet so bad on offense.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 31, 2006 -> 10:54 AM) Perhaps, but that wasn't the point. The point was destroying the kids confidence, and sending him down will do just that. I can't see how much more confidence he will lose. It's got to be at about the lowest point possible. I don't want it to get to the point where he's still up and hitting .150 or so and fans start to boo him ala Corey Patterson up north.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 31, 2006 -> 10:15 AM) Thank you. No matter what you say to a kid when you are sending him down, the point is you are still telling him you aren't good enough to be here. Perhaps he isn't right now?

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 31, 2006 -> 09:47 AM) Get his confidence back up huh? Yeah, nothing like a demotion to make someone gain confidence...... I would think getting at bats everyday and having a chance to hit over .300 wouldn't be a bad idea. Playing 2 or 3 times a week and hitting .160 with everyone eyeing you isn't helping.
