Jimbo's Drinker

weird

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ May 2, 2007 -> 10:11 AM) Look what happened yesterday. He stuck him out there, Javy had nothing, got hit around, and was responsible for another run. How does that help his confidence? He was still pitching fine and who cares the odds of us getting a run after the 7th was zero to none anyways. big picture

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ May 2, 2007 -> 10:08 AM) Angelo explicitly compared him to Dunn, in fact. I didn't like the pick, but then, I didn't like the Hester choice, either. I'm willing to trust Angelo on this. He is a fine change of game back from Benson. I will like him more than Jones if he does do that monkey shake Jones did after every catch.

QUOTE(caulfield12 @ May 2, 2007 -> 10:06 AM) Most studies have shown that changing pitching or hitting coaches in mid-season yield temporary positive results (2-4 weeks), but the overall performance after the change is almost indistinguishable from pre-change performance. It needs to be done in the offseason, and it needs to be a system/organization wide change in philosophy. The White Sox are as stubborn a ballclub as there is, good luck with a change.

That is so last year, and last year sucked.

QUOTE(G&T @ May 2, 2007 -> 09:45 AM) I was watching when the injury happened. The replay looked like his knee broke, but I guess it was a hamstring or something. Up till then his curveball was sick. helluva prospect, now we can hear the booya network call him the greatest rooke ever till he returns.

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ May 2, 2007 -> 10:03 AM) I'm sure it really helped Vazquez last year when he'd leave him in for an inning too long and let him implode. He has already shown he has gotten past his "6th inning" implosion this year. Bringin up the past year is such a stupid idea, if its not the case right now.

Bon Jovi and American Idol is like having Beer diahhrea after a long night of boozing. What a horrid idea, and where is the f***in eye candy?

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ May 2, 2007 -> 09:59 AM) Leaving Vazquez in was very questionable. This loss isn't on Ozzie, though. Maybe switch up the lineup, who knows, hell let Boone play DH, just try anything. QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ May 2, 2007 -> 10:01 AM) and Vaz at 105 pitches....This was just the case of Ozzie trying to get his starter a win. Some agree with it and some disagree with it. I like when Ozzie does this, it really helps the pitchers confidence. Thank god for our pitching!

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 2, 2007 -> 09:58 AM) I think another thing that everyone is forgetting is that Wolfe will also be a saftey valve on kickoffs for if they kick away from Hester. The will put him back there, and let him run in the open field. He isnt hester, but he can miss some tackles and turn it into a good thing. I thought they drafted one of the 5th rounders for that purpose. riddle me dumb though.

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ May 2, 2007 -> 09:57 AM) 3-2 B8 and a really solid pen which hadn't worked in three days and is off tomorrow. May as well use them. Gullien has a tendancy to leave guys in for one hitter to long and rely on the L/R thing way to much. This was a questionable move but not terrible. Pinch hitting Cintron for Ozuna......... Id rather just see the kids come up at this point.

To both: Why cant this team hit?

QUOTE(retro1983hat @ May 2, 2007 -> 09:49 AM) I was expecting Artie Lange to be funnier, but I do like the banter between Ari and his wife. No matter what, Vince has to end up back with Ari. I love the show, but it won't be the same until they are back together. they will, or the show will GOT GOT

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 2, 2007 -> 09:40 AM) Maybe because its a 10 day road trip? Ozzie did nothing wrong last night, the team did. 100 agree

QUOTE(fathom @ May 2, 2007 -> 09:19 AM) Letting Vazquez start the 8th inning was stupid, as was playing Mackowiak over Erstad. We have a lot of days off this week, so I can't see how resting Erstad for 3 out of 4 days is a good move when he's the only one showing life at the plate. When you have s*** players to deal with, you put out s*** lineups...this one is on Kenny Williams and the minor league staff.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 2, 2007 -> 09:19 AM) I knew it. AbeFroman and Jimbo's Drinker are the same person. Wrong again

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 2, 2007 -> 09:18 AM) Didn't changing the hitting coach spark the 2005 Indians? They starting hitting like crazy after they changed hitting coaches. I'm not saying that would definitely happen with this team but it might spark something. Besides, this team stopped hitting last August and September. Change is good, stop being so loyal to Walker. Hey looks like season tickets will be vastlly available next year, thats fine by me. We suck!

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 2, 2007 -> 09:15 AM) Ozzie did what now? Ozzie did nothing wrong.

QUOTE(Texsox @ May 2, 2007 -> 09:14 AM) Walk me through the change y'all are expecting. Wednesday, Walker gets released. Thursday a new hitting coach arrives. Friday he changes everyone's approach, notices mistakes that immediately are fixed, and the team is rolling by the weekend? Ill take a few weeks of learning a new hitting system and losing, then watching these old farts whacking and missing.

26, 6"0, i like long walks on the beach and moonlight dinners.

They will have Clemens in no time.

Players I would keep on this team:(Hitters) Konerko, Thome, Guch, Erstad(on the bench, because he is the only one who doesnt have a homerun or naught approach). Everyone else is garbage....great!!!!!!!!

I have a damn good record for starting these games threads......time to turn onthe juice again. WAKE UP

we look like the heat..........old

This sucks, KW needs to step up here.
