QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 09:49 AM) I would throw BMAC's ass on a plane so fast he wouldnt have time to think. We have other young arms, this is the year to make a push and Chavez can not only benefit us this year, but give us a better team next year, I say go for it, please please please KW And who would be our 5th starter when (not if) Hernandez goes down again?

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 09:54 AM) Jim, next time I will have to buy you a beer and at least fuel some arguments for a couple of innings. Its not hard with those two... usually I just say "hey how about those White Sox" and it is all downhill from there.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 09:06 AM) Silly theoretical question here... why couldn't Crede have played first base last night with Ozuna going in at 3B, or taking SS and sending Uribe to 3B. I haven't played much 3B in my time, but it seems like 1B would be the closest to 3B IMO. Also it seems a lot of 3Bs end up at 1B. Not to interupt Jim and Quicks fest, but any thoughts on this? how similar are first and third, and could Crede have been a better option?

Rick Vaughn is the DRays spokesperson? I guess that is what happens after the Major League glory goes away.

QUOTE(retro1983hat @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 08:00 AM) Several Notes: 1. Ozzie should've walked into the locker room after the game, told the players to enjoy their day off and said the loss was 100% his fault. Ozzie should have told the players all the blame for the loss is his own. 2. If you think Jeff Brantley was tough, wait until October (if the Sox can actually hold on), when every pitch is analyzed. Ozzie will be really under the microscope then. 3. I have a strange feeling Ozzie feels a special bond with the Latin players given his patience with Damaso, Timo and last night not PH Konerko for Uribe. JMO. But it seems like there is something going on with his reliance on those below-average players. Is Kevin Walker Venezuelan?

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 02:32 AM) This post is so confusing We were down 4 runs, Willie went up there, he was patient. He took a fastball right down the middle 3-1 because it's not really worth swinging at it and risking an out. Had Willie, or in this case Pauly as your sugesting, hit a HR, we still would have been down by a run. He did the right thing and looked to bring the tying run to the plate by any means necessary. Good point. It is the same reason you don't risk taking extra bases or stealing late in the game while trailing. The whole point is to get the tying and go-ahead runs up to the plate to give the team a chance to win.

There is a little know clause for games that start at 6:07 pm in the Central Daylight Timezone that a win on June first equals an automatic World Series appearence.

Fearless prediction... Dustin Hermanson gives up his first runs of 2005 tonight.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 08:52 PM) If by morbid, you mean vast and if by humor, you mean penis size. I take it that is what you meant, right?

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 08:51 PM) Marte has hardly been used this year. When you have less innings than innings pitched no one can ever use that excuse ( not saying you did but i see it alot on here) Marte could have started the inning if we wanted to keep the game either close or what do you know, win it. Walker coming in = an automatic loss. Less innings than innings pitched? I take it you mean games vs IP, right?

QUOTE(whitesoxjr27 @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 08:48 PM) i was just joking. sorry I was too, sorry its me and my morbid sense of humor.

QUOTE(whitesoxjr27 @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 08:46 PM) well if he kicks him in the balls then he cant steal bases. He'll think long and hard about dropping a routine flyball then won't he?

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 08:44 PM) If Gload is at 1st base, it's a tie ball-game. or Konerko. That is the hilarious part about the Konerko sucks crowd. They got their wish tonight, and he was on the bench. Once again, be careful what you wish for.

QUOTE(whitesoxjr27 @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 08:44 PM) holy s***. he gets out of the jam. he needs to go kick Pods in the nuts for that inning.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 08:42 PM) Quoting Hawk and DJ: DJ: "Nice play by an outfielder who's playing first base." Hawk: "Best thing about that, He's not gonig to turn two anyways" DJ: "He's playing out of position. He's got the one costly error, but he's making everything look easy out there" It's f***ing repulsive how much they slob this guys knob. That is exactly my biggest complaint about these two guys.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 08:37 PM) Last time I looked, there were more than 2 relievers on a team. Sure there are. And to want the combination of horrible Cubs pen preformances over what the Sox have done is hilarious. How many games have the Cubs pen given away vs what the Sox have done? What is our record in one run games? Where do the Sox rank in team relief points? (2nd) But you would rather have the Cubs pen? Come on. I know you are mad, but wow, at least be rational.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 08:36 PM) Lately, don't forget the season as a whole now. Michael Wuertz - 4.01 ERA Mike Remlinger - 4.97 ERA Ryan Dempster - 4.95 ERA As a WHOLE, Cubs relievers have won 11 games and lost 14. And you can throw in all of the fire jobs that Hawkins did as well.

Oh sweet Jesus, I can't take this anymore.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 08:31 PM) Uuum, did he not just hit a HR? b**** about Timo and Walker and benching Gooch....leave Cruddy alone. That is the point dude. I think he is saying if it was up to all of the Crede haters, he wouldn't have been in to hit those two HRs.
