QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 01:10 PM) So Pods gets on base with a righty on the mound....why isn't he trying to steal instead of wasting the bunt? doesn't matter - big jim is going to take seay yard right here

leyland's making a mistake here

that's the tough thing about him batting second - i like him there, but he's worthless at the bunt

please just swing

QUOTE (whitesoxmanager @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 12:53 PM) can anybody please come up with any reason to be optimistic? its been a long while since watching whitesox baseball was this brutally painful? we're only down 1 run, only 4.5 back, chance to be 2.5 back by the end of the night?

i'm feeling a walk off today - don't know why, just do.

ah, dewayne. you can't be gone fast enough my friend.

just tuned in - so I take it Richard couldn't find the strike zone again?

QUOTE (Lemon_44 @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 06:38 PM) I don't get that. Ozzie shouldn't offer up his resignation at all. He has produced a winning ballclub every year but one. The weak link throughout the past few years has been situational hitting and scoring runs when the home run ball isn't working. That's on Walker,well mainly it's on the players but they aren't going anywhere. I'm not one for making a change just to make a change but we've seen pretty much the same thing for 4 years running and it doesn't seem to be improving. Look at this past week.The Sox were shut down by 4 rookie pitchers that have struggled against the rest of the league. That's been a trend for years as well.The Sox see a guy for the 1st time and they are clueless. You don't see the other teams getting consitiently shut down by rookies.It may happen every now and then but, with the Sox, it's happens almost every time. Is that coaching? I'm not sure,but i tend to lean that way since it isn't happening to other teams like it does with eth Sox. Ozzie says Walker is doing his job and working hard so it's tough to fire a guy like that but,in the end, you have to get results and they haven't been there. I agree wholeheartedly. My point is that right now this team is playing so bad that to single out Walker is a joke. It's not just situational hitting that's a problem - it's all hitting. A couple of weeks ago their defense was atrocious - should Cora have been fired? A week ago the team was hitting well - should Walker have been fired then? Starting pitching has been terribly inconsistent. All I'm saying is now is not the time for the organization to start pointing fingers.

i love it when you guys analyze

If they fire Walker now the organization looks like a bunch of asssholes, especially Ozzie Guillen. They are playing SO bad all around that if you single out one guy - a guy who by all accounts is doing his job right now, despite the results - then you are nothing but a bunch of pusssies in my book, and that starts at the top. If Williams tried to fire Walker now (and I wanted him gone a LONG time ago) and Guillen didn't offer his resignation first, I would lose all respect for Guillen as a manager.

Three, it's a magic number

Yeah, Ozzie and Frank would have a great working relationship.

and somehow still had a chance to get right back in this game. I hope all the BA fanatics got a good look at him at the plate today when it counted.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 01:52 PM) BA rocking a career .105 average with the bases loaded. it's because he's been mis-managed by Ozzie going back to 06.

rally, b****es

wonder what a bench clearing brawl would do to shake this funk up. worked in 2000.

i love that guy yelling at all the indian hitters. what the hell, why not

Angels are in desperate need of bullpen help. Dotel? Linebrink?

i actually feel sorry for Whisler. Do other teams call up starters and put them in the pen like the Sox do?
