QUOTE(Capn12 @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 09:51 PM) Gooch rocks in the #2 hole. Ozzie, leave him there, when Prancer comes back, move grindErstad to 7TH, not 2nd. I just said the same thing to my wife!

You have to be f***ing kidding me.....

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 09:40 PM) Oh boy....Ozzie, wouldn't it have been easier to let Thornton start this inning. You are making sense here...stop it...

What's cooler than being cool.....Ross Gload!

Way to get him to fly out....I hate Sweeney.

PK....about damn time!!!

Gooch!

:uhoh Doh!

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 07:33 PM) It would be great to see the Sox score some runs without the benefit of a home run. That would be really novel. ... And now for something completely different ... See this past Saturday's game...

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 01:36 AM) I believe the following quotes will be mentioned at some point tomorrow: Hawk: "You know DJ, whenever you face this Kansas City ballclub you have to throw out the records. They play us TOUGH." DJ (Addressing some comment from Hawk)"No question. Gill Meche is earning every penny of his salary today against our ballclub." Hawk: (chuckles) "I'll tell you what, Grudzielanek swings a magic wand against our ballclub." Great stuff, and probably SO true. I hope I don't have to hear those two talk like that tonight... It will be sickening... On that note, lets hope we can walk into KC, get the bats rolling, and kick the s*** out of some Royals...

QUOTE(caulfield12 @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 09:13 AM) All I know is that when your biggest possible contribution is defensively and you're inserted into just such a situation and through a mental error (Detroit announcers called BA "nonchalant"), you put the winning run on 2nd without having to give up an out via a sacrifice, there's no longer any reason for you to be on the team. He hasn't shown the ability to hit for power minus 2 AB's against Felix Hernandez and he can't get a stolen base when needed, so what purpose does he serve? I couldn't agree with you more. I used to be a huge BA supporter, but that has slowly eroded. The way he got to that ball yesterday pissed me off, big time. Not to mention he looks absolutely clueless when he does bat, so what is the point? Send him down, let him learn how to give a s*** again. Right now comparing him and Erstad is apples to apples, both have contributions/flaws. But the bottom line is, based on everything published about this situation this year, BA has been whiney and arrogant about the situation. Knowing how petty Ozzie can be about things, that was the worst thing he could have done to try and make a case for himself. Not to mention his play yesterday, that probably screwed him worse than anything. Bottom line, however, is that this argument is moot. We have MUCH bigger problems than the BA/Grindey debate. The fact that other than Thome, our big guys aren't doing s*** is the issue. PK (as much as I love the guy) is leaving runners on base like its his job, JD is too sporratic right now, and Crede got his first XBH in over 40 at bats.... I will worry about Erstad later, if he doesn't continue improving. Because right now he is NOT costing us games. Leaving runners on in large quantities, however, *IS* costing us some games. Walk and the rest of these guys need to reevaluate their lack of being able to adjust and get it together.

QUOTE(Wealz @ Apr 22, 2007 -> 05:10 PM) They Twins were 8th in the league in runs scored last year, the Sox were third. We aren't talking about last year, now are we?? They also won the division, didn't they?

QUOTE(Wealz @ Apr 22, 2007 -> 04:48 PM) Provide evidence that a line drive approach is better. I am really hoping you aren't serious.... But in the event that you are...here is your evidence... two words... Minnesota Twins Take a look at their record, average, OBP, and the # of HR's they have as a team. Their whole approach is base hits by driving the ball, adjusting to each pitcher, and guys that SHOULD suck getting hits...

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Apr 22, 2007 -> 03:59 PM) Seriously, when he's on his death spiral, is there a more frustrating player to watch than Konerko? Not at all, because his swings look like total s***...

QUOTE(BobDylan @ Apr 22, 2007 -> 03:52 PM) Verlander was on the bump today, generally you chalk that up as an L. I call BS on that one... Zoolander is 1-4 with an ERA north of 7 against us.... This should have been a W. Period.

Way to f*** this one up boys...

I don't feel good about this.

Maybe the guy from the Dos Equis commercial can come pinch hit....

PK needs tomorrow off.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Apr 22, 2007 -> 03:15 PM) Rangers got raped in that trade IMO. Yes they did.

Amazing what Juan can do when he doesn't swing like Taz.

Nice job getting out of that mess.... I am done defending BA....

Thanks Brian!

Brilliant Ozzie...you asshole!

Grindertastic!
