QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 11:24 PM) Who hit the ball hard tonight? Quentin had a homer, Konerko had a line out, Jones had a line out, and AJP had a solid single. Besides that, I don't remember a single hard hit ball. Then you weren't watching the game.

I think it'd be best to avoid Soxtalk until the Sox are 5 games up. After game 1 we were Series bound, two games later and it's fire Ozzie and blow it up. Dear God, people. We hit a lot of balls hard, right at people, and the Tribe had more bloops in the last two days than I've seen in awhile.

I mean. My GOD. You want to sit alexei... FOR OMAR VIZQUEL!?!? It is very early in the season. take it easy.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 11:18 PM) 1) Sit Alexei. He sucks in April. 2) Start Vizquel in the 2 hole. He's a bunter. 3) Put Beckham in 5 hole. Let him swing. 4) ??? 5) Profit? I swear if Vizquel hits second I'll f***ing kill someone. And Beckham 5? I think it's clear he should hit 3. Your post = fail.

At least my pick to click done click'd.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 11:10 PM) I'm not sure if you're being facetious cecious or not. But when you lose 2 straight to the f***ing Indians with the crap pitching staff they're running out, and you can muster 8 hits in 20 innings, I'm not going to blame 2 f***ing bunts on the 2 losses. Not being facetious at all. Bunting with Beckham is an epic fail for two reason. 1. He's a very good hitter. 2. It gives the Tribe every reason to pitch around our best power bat and put him on 1st. It's one of the dumbest moves I've seen, and it was done twice.

2010 reminds me of 2009.

Strike zone sure has gotten larger.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 11:07 PM) Thank you, Captain Obvious. When did I ever say that Beckham should have bunted? I think it's a horrible idea. But that's not why we're losing. Like I said, we have 8 hits AS A TEAM in what is now 19.1 innings. Those 2 bunts aren't the reason we're losing. Slav. When you're right, you're right.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 11:01 PM) I'm on record before the Indians hired him as saying i wouldn't mind inf Manny Acta was our manager. Now.... i wouldn't mind if Manny Acta was our manager. His managing sure is doing a great job at causing bloop singles.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 11:00 PM) Pierre is visibly slower than he used to be. My eyes say you tell lies.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 11:00 PM) And that's why they wouldn't have bunted with their #2 hitter. I figured they didn't bunt with him because there were 2 out.

Wow

I think this team just might perform better with a different manager at the helm. Call me nuts. Gordon Beckham should not be bunting twice in a ballgame.

Hm. Nice K by Putz... 93.

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 03:56 PM) I kinda like 09 too, with AJ coming out of the top. TWSS

These imitation monikers really bring down the integrity of this site.

06 and 04 were the coolest

The issue with Ozzie is, he's going to do it Ozzie's way, and more often than not that's in a way you wouldn't want. Personally if I'm making my lineup, it's going to be... LF Pierre 3B Teahen (I'm assuming his career numbers are in there somewhere. Deal with it.) 2B Beckham RF Quentin 1B Konerko CF Rios C Pierzynski DH Jones/Kotsay SS Ramirez

That Michael Steele Muppet bit on the Daily Show last night was outstanding.

Oh yeah, he's pretty funny. His GTA IV review is classic. His sports reviews annoy me, though, because he admits right off the bat he's not a fan of said sport and then just screws around.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 01:10 PM) Obviously I can't speak for everyone when I say that, but in general, I think Apple is a very polarizing company. I really don't think that's accurate. People rip the iPhone, but only because of the carrier that Apple has it's exclusivity agreement with...

QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 12:42 PM) So you're going to claim that if this product was made by IBM or Google the reviews by PC owners would be just as critical? Uh, dude. Um. How emphatically can I say "yes"? I couldn't care less if it was made by Apple or Sony or Dell or HP or Google. If I feel the product does not give enough bang for the buck, then I'll say it. You thinking it has anything to do with it being an Apple product shows how bloated Apple fanboys' perception of their brand really is...
