QUOTE(briguy27 @ Jun 10, 2007 -> 03:25 PM) so bring him in and let him get booed and have something like this happen. got it. That makes no sense. You can't prevent bad outings. If he has been going good, you bring him in. WTF are you talking about?

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jun 10, 2007 -> 03:25 PM) give me jenks. Your wish is my command.

HERE COMES THE BOOM!

QUOTE(briguy27 @ Jun 10, 2007 -> 03:22 PM) day was doing good before this outing, so why bring him in and risk him losing confidence when struggling like he just did? why not either 1. bring in boone or jenks to make sure it will be a W for the sox or 2. bring in somebody like prinz or bukvich to hopefully get a 1-2-3 inning and to boost their confidence There ya go. Bring in Logan and let him walk the 1st batter he faces.

Oh god...

Wow, Day has been pretty damn good lately. He comes in and gets booed before throwing a pitch. Jeeza I hate our fans sometimes.

Please trade Dye soon...for something good.

Oh man, Hall got under that one big time. He shoulda teed that one off.

JD with a grounder to 3rd and Ensberg muffs it. Man, Fields swings at everything. I still don't remember seeing him take a pitch.

IBB to Thome. 40th walk of the year for Jimmy. DJ does not lie. 5 triples in 92 lol.

Lee with a terrible read on the ball. Iguchi scores, Gonzalez with his 1st ML double and RBI. 6-1!!!!!!!!!

Tadahitooooooo 12 games hit streak. And a SB.

LOL, JD finally hits one hard and its caught for a line out. Get rid of him already. Anyone have a season this bad following an MVP caliber year? Jeez, who check swings on 3-1 for a little groundout to the pitcher.

PK with another hit and RBI. 21 for his last 32 I believe.

URIBE!!!! ITS AN OFFENSIVE SOXPLOSION!!!!!!!!!!

Terrero can mash the ball man.

So let me get this straight...Iguchi, Konerko, and Thome are all hitting well, yet we can't score more than 3 runs a game. And I'm glad we gave Fields a whole 4 games to start calling him a failed major leaguer. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay Sox fans!

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 10:13 PM) When a team is failing in every aspect, the manager will get blamed. How he gets none of the blame is baffling to me. This team is playing more lethargic right now than any of the "corpseball" teams did. Were you calling for Manuel's head a few years ago? I still wonder what caused Merkin to mention the rumors that Ozzie was losing the clubhouse about a month ago? And by the way, this was about as tame of a post I could make about Ozzie right now. I would love for him to prove to me he still has the fire and still has the ability to lead a team. Come on now. You know damn well that most of the time, the manager doesn't deserve the blame. They're just the guinea pigs. And the fact that Walker is still here is what should really be alarming.

I'm sure your comments to Ozzie will make this team play a whole lot better. Seriously fathom, I wouldn't expect this from you, though you are the biggest Ozzie-criticizer. There is still no way you can blame Ozzie for this teams abysmal play, IMO. All the blame should go on KW. Ozzie can't go out there and pitch for our relievers or swing for our hitters. These are grown ass men and they shouldn't need to be motivated to play to their potential. This s*** is just getting ridiculous.

Everyone in this thread knows Carlos Lee personally, I assume?

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 12:12 AM) I could have sworn that he said he was going to make some changes and manage differently because these guys weren't having enough fun on the field. He did. His exact words were: "If this is my last year here, then I'm gonna have fun. I gotta change my style. I gotta have some fun."

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 07:56 PM) At what point does our manager start getting called out for how lifeless this team is? We all know you aren't the biggest Ozzie backer, but how in the hell do you blame him for this ever so talented team we have on the field?

I honestly don't remember a team as lifeless as the current one, at least not in my lifetime. And our bullpen is just plain bad.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 07:52 PM) Where does this lineup rank among the worst the Sox have put on the field in the last 10 years? 11

Guys, ERA is such an overrated stat to look at when drafting baseball players. We should all know that.
