The Ginger Kid

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 08:04 PM) It's time for Ozzie to step up and get this team going on the right track. He needs to stop feeling sorry for himself and talking a big game in the media. It's time for him to prove he can make a lineup without having some mediocre slap hitter at the top of the order. It's time for him to shake things up, even if that means drastic things like putting Owens or Mackowiak between Konerko and AJP to break up the automatic double play situation that those guys get themselves into. Basically, it's time for Ozzie to prove that he hasn't lost this team, and that he's the right man to stop this almost year long slump this team has been in. Please stop making comments about if you should be fired or not or what's going to happen in your career. Just go out and get this team to play with energy and confidence. interesting note from Whalen's blog...

a brawl against the tigers turned things around in 2000. Maybe these "nice guys" need a meeting to do something.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jun 9, 2007 -> 09:25 PM) 10 games out of the division lead, 7.5 out of the wildcard with seven teams to jump. It's over. Done. Get to work Williams and orchestrate a trade which benefits our future. sox are 2-7 in June. I predict they are about to go 16-3 in their next 19 and finish the month 18-10 and get back over .500. That's right, I'm drinking the Jim Jones cocktail. It's a lot easier to swallow when I'm waiting for a lineup to turn it around rather than waiting for starting pitchers to turn it around. If that were the case, I'd pack it in with you. The bullpen is another matter entirely. That should put them within striking distance of the WC and I still expect a stumble from the tribe and kitties.

the most idiotic thing the sox could do is make a trade right now. The value of Dye, Buehrle and anyone else will only go up the closer we get to July 31.

don't be depressed, be like the Sox: glad to see Konerko called a meeting, finally. Maybe now they'll win 3 out of the next 10.

future all star, current tank

battle of the 2b's take that biggio! go ape s*** kong!

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 06:53 PM) Why are people so quick to dismiss that Ozzie is failing to motivate these players? are you suggesting that a managerial change is going to turn this season around?

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 11:40 AM) Who cares. If they can't throw a strike at USCF, I couldn't care less if the strike everyone out in AAA. thanks for that update

any word on how mac or sisco is doing down in AAA

game's not over. sox with a wild come back in the 9th that triggers a 20 game winning streak. and with that, I'm out.

fans on the field - I was wondering where some of the regular posters were tonight

too bad A-Rod's such an asshole - he's an awesome player

yeah boone, you really want to walk him.

prinz whining

go for it AJ - I'm glad to see someone with some emotion on this team

who says iguchi can't hit a fastball?

tad's going to get a pitch to hit here...

i wish we could sign harold to a two week contract.

just out of curiosity, at this time, are we the worst team in baseball?

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 07:17 PM) Please...please...please....end the Cintron experience! it's such bulls***. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, that he's hurt, but for the love of allah, put this guy on the DL.

wow...fields not good

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 06:38 PM) Nice pitch by Contreras....but it's disturbing that he's only reaching 89 mph when he leans back and tries to throw it past someone. the count's forkball is so nasty I don't care about his speed. When he's throwing it for strikes from multiple angles...

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 06:36 PM) So now that there's rumors that Dye has some injury problems, are PK, AJ, and Uribe the only opening day starters we have that's been healthy all year? kong has supposedly been battling a bad hammy

looks windy tonight - no way they can hit in the wind, and it's unfair to expect them to.
