QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 05:50 PM) Is this thome's solo-shot all the run support Buehrle gets inning? will you pick my lotto numbers this week?

wouldn't this be a bit rash at this point? I can see if this continues for the whole month, but less than 15 games into the season? yikes.

can get much worse than this.

I take that back

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 17, 2007 -> 07:07 PM) We have always been known as a 2nd half team. you have to admit, with strong pitching, it's easier to stomach this weak ass s***.

suck now, get hot later. It's a new trend.

BA's old teammate and a 17th round pick.

seems like they walk into the box 0-2

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 17, 2007 -> 06:28 PM) Rangers have a pretty nasty 8/9 combination in their bullpen. hard to picture the sox scoring on anything but a solo dinger

Walker's going to lose his job because of some really bad approaches at the plate. It's too bad, I like Walk.

absolute weakness.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Apr 17, 2007 -> 06:18 PM) That was a great pitch there. Crede has been sucking it hard. he's pressing too. sucking and pressing. interesting....

that jim thome never does nothin

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Apr 17, 2007 -> 01:53 PM) I can't believe that Pods gets injured and they still refuse to put Anderson in the lineup. Trade him or send him down, you're ruining him!

we're hitting .222 what difference does it make?

Good post on Reifert's blog yesterday:

QUOTE(quickman @ Apr 16, 2007 -> 08:15 AM) Who the hell cares about Brian Andersen. He is nothing, he will not get us to the playoffs nor might he be anything other than what he is. I know people like him because he is young, a surfer dude, who acts kool, but the guy is a non entity. Really who cares. Move on he is a fringe player. QUOTE(RockRaines @ Apr 16, 2007 -> 12:56 PM) Hahaha, i figured it was time for a change. now, if you could just get these two frauleins to make out like the other ladies...

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 15, 2007 -> 03:07 PM) I'll go out on a limb and say he'll never even finish in the top 20 of MVP voting any year of his career. He just doesn't have the tools to be that valuable. ~.800 OPS guys with no speed aren't often awarded with MVPs. Big Pappi ain't exactly a burner on the basepaths. I know what you're saying...but I just get this sense that he's going to light it up this year. He has a great knack for the dramatic hit, which you have to admit, always factors in to the voting.

I kind of like what I'm seeing out of Aardsma. Lots of K's which is great for a closer. QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Apr 15, 2007 -> 01:47 PM) Yep Masset's stuff hasn't been as good as advertised as well really? I thought he's been doing pretty damn well with one exception.

Joe Crede is going to win the AL MVP this year. Just not for the first two weeks of april.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 15, 2007 -> 01:01 PM) I thought I watched the whole game, but what did he do today that I missed? Sometimes the hitters have to step up, and its out of the coaches hands. repeat after me: If the Sox lose, it's because of Ozzie. If the Sox win, it's in spite of Ozzie. It's a very simple principle.

All I ask is that our pitching remains strong. If that goes, move over KC... QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 15, 2007 -> 12:42 PM) With the lineup we had today, there was no way we could expect to score a fair amount of runs. Something has to be done with the lineup we have against LHP. I agree. Eduardo Perez needs to be on this team.

some guys in this lineup need to pull their heads out of their ass.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 15, 2007 -> 12:28 PM) And maybe you get them to pull C.C. oh yeah, cintron strikes terror in the hearts of managers

I know the lineup looks like s*** right now, but our bullpen and starting pitching has me feeling very good.
