QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 25, 2011 -> 12:21 PM) starting with the Sox last year. You call 2010 a success? I have higher expectations.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 25, 2011 -> 12:17 PM) The good news is that the Yankees are playing great ball right now, and Cano has an 11 game hitting streak. So we have an excuse. We could also just tip our cap after we lose.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 25, 2011 -> 12:16 PM) 99% sure I won't be voting for Obama. I'm closer to 99.9%

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 25, 2011 -> 12:09 PM) . Why don't you just leave then, commie! USA! USA! USA!

QUOTE (T R U @ Apr 25, 2011 -> 11:51 AM) Thank you for proving my point. The point that we are one of the worst teams in baseball?

QUOTE (SoxPride56 @ Apr 25, 2011 -> 10:40 AM) This is going to be ugly...but what else is new. Anyone else see Cowley's tweet about KW being in NY? It was probably talked about in another thread, but any speculation to why he is in NY with the team besides the obvious? He is rumored to be on a diet and thought that he could watch a few games in person in order to trigger some vomiting.

QUOTE (T R U @ Apr 24, 2011 -> 09:13 PM) No, not really.. 80% of the posts/threads in Pale Hose Talk are irrational overreactions.. Overreactions? We are a half game of out being in 30th out of 30 MLB teams.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 25, 2011 -> 10:13 AM) A couple of wins in a row will make Ozzie look like a genius again. A couple? How about 8 or more.

Please win.

Thanks for reminding me how pathetic our team is.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Apr 25, 2011 -> 09:15 AM) Let me be clear that wasnt an exact quote. Just a generalization of what he said. So what's his contract status? Is he a FA after this season? Could you imagine if we skipped the Boozer signing and picked him up next year? (Disclaimer: I don't think we're going to win it all this year, with or without Boozer)

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 25, 2011 -> 07:44 AM) Joe Torre is legendary for making moves that leave people guessing but then somehow wind up working. f*** it. Give the job to Omar.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 24, 2011 -> 05:54 PM) How about Josh Johnson? I believe that's 4 starts this year that he's had a no-hitter into the 6th. I don't think that's right. There's no way he's faced us 4 times.

I feel sorry for season ticket holders. They can't give away tickets right now. You gotta think they're doing a lot of calling and complaining about the product on the field.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 24, 2011 -> 01:58 PM) Ozzie's not even trying anymore. I can't believe he let Lillibridge bat there. I can't believe more people aren't calling for his head. He's just going through the motions now.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 24, 2011 -> 01:55 PM) After today, his ERA in the first 5 innings is 1.80, it's 10.80 in the 6th. John Vazquez!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 24, 2011 -> 01:46 PM) sigh...2 outs, nobody on, and they produce a run. Come on now. Don't lose faith.

How can JR look at this drivel and feel good about spending around $130M on it?

That 1 run should be enough for Detroit.

Just checked the box score. Getting no hit again? Pathetic. Luckily Walker has job security through 2018.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 24, 2011 -> 09:01 AM) Joey would take over. I see a lot of people saying that. Is that an educated guess or was this stated by KW or JR?

QUOTE (Tex @ Apr 24, 2011 -> 11:30 AM) Yes, it would be based on whomever was hitting. With the computing power available, how about figuring what the hitter's probability is based on what they have done in their career with that situation. If the guy achieves an RBI rate of 25% of the time and another player only 5%, that should be factored in as well. Wow. Talk about advanced statistics!
