QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 02:37 PM) Are we going to make another mediocre pitcher look like Santana? yes easy out to easy out to easy out pods,ba,thome

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 12:17 PM) He meant lottery not being a factor, as in where we are slotted, which i think we are at 8th. Hey maybe the NBA can "fix" this lottery and make the bulls a powerhouse.

What pick would we have as of right now, lottery obviously not a factor.

the too many connections occurs at every game.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 09:12 AM) agreed. I am going to get no work done today. its really simple if you follow the above instructions..no colors next to each other at one time.

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 10:19 AM) Jenks didn't do his job but it wasn't like he got pounded. He gave up three ground balls through the infield. Poor defense resulted in the loss. If anyone can not understand why Pods should not have been out there, you are missing an integral part of baseball. In the bottom of the 9th in a one run game you put your best defensive players on the field. I believe the reason Mack was not hit for was because his defense is better than Dye's. Pods has played really well this season but his defense is atrocious and will not get better. To leave him out there was a bad move. Guillen did not put his team in an obviously more favorable position ot win the game and therefore he failed. will this team ever go above .500...not with thome, konerko, crede and dye sucking

QUOTE(caulfield12 @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 10:08 AM) Well, the jury's still out on MacDougal as a closer, I think he was 21 for 25 the last time with the Royals, but closing for the Royals was like Kip Wells' 2002 and 2003 seasons with the Pirates. Pretty meaningless. From taking a cursory look at the stats, his BB/IP ratio is down from the .50 ratio it was 2-3 seasons ago. Last year, 6 walks in 24 IP, that's a pretty good improvement. I still don't think MacDougal puts up a season that replicates the save percentage of Jenks in 2005/06. But anything is better than what the Royals and Indians did last year in the bullpen. The question is, does 21/25 get the job done if Nathan only blows one or two games, or Zumaya/Jones, or Borowski? so is the life of a closer..

QUOTE(iamshack @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 09:56 AM) Well, fair enough. But Jenks was brought into the game with a lead and no one on base against a team that had managed three stinking hits all night with a teacup-sized strike zone. He is paid to finish off games, not give up runs. Ultimately, he lost the game. Oh well. Let's get them this afternoon. He also had nothing on the fastball and the A's caught up to his curveball. Where was the hammer in the dirt, out pitch?

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 09:50 AM) I'd like to throw a little blame on our vaunted offense by managing to get 1 run on 3 hits vs some guy named Cy Gaudin. An extra run would have/and should have been achieved. That is drives me nuts sometimes about this team...long ball or naught

I have zero faith in today's game.....We can't hit soft tossing lefties and we have the B team....we get killed.

Joe Kennedy soft tossing lefty, we are going to overswing and lose 4-2 tomorrow.

Why didnt they just put Dye in RF and Mack in LF??

get ready for a loss tomorrow.......just not our year thus far.

s*** s*** s*** and like i predicted Buck will get the game winner

in the dirt

keep it low

no give up Bobby...here comes the classic punch and judy hitter in Walker..looking for a little duck snort

f*** full count....inevitable walk

yikes

WE LOSE

oh s*** here we go!!! god dammit
