it is hard enough to hit a ball when youre healthy. Crede had no shot if he had a migraine. He would probably fall down just by swinging the bat.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ May 5, 2008 -> 09:45 PM) I just don't understand how somehow the Sox find the most bizarre and unusual ways to f*** up easy opportunities and lose games in the worst possible ways. Un-f***ing-believable. What is so hard to understand?? Bad teams do this every year. Get use to it b/e there will be many more nights like this.

this is gotten comical. I cant believe how s***ty the depth is on this team. Ozuna should NEVER see a major league game ever again. He is a complete waste of uniform.

lol@ all the spinjobs on this thread. this team sucks. plain and simple. i'm not going to get upset about losses anymore b/c this team isnt good. i've come to grips that this team will win about 75 games. it is sad b/c if this team was just decent, it would have a 5 game lead right now.

QUOTE (Wanne @ May 2, 2008 -> 09:54 PM) 3. Uribe...as much as I like Juan...he needs to go. Solid D...but kills this lineup and it's only magnified when the rest of the team is doing poor. unless you know Uribe personally, why in the world would you like that guy?

I dont think Detroit has the pitching when its all said and done. If CC gets it going then the Indians should win this division. Looks like this division winner only needs about 90 wins this year.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ May 2, 2008 -> 09:25 PM) Last year? Okay, how about the years before that? And it's too early into the season to start comparing statistics. Paulie has always been a late starter. Plus, as far as I know Kotchman is not as good defensively. dude, last year was Kotchman's first full season as a pro. He's got a lot more upside than PK does.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 2, 2008 -> 09:19 PM) Well, Joe Crede and Ozzie Guillen should get special recognition for that loss. Pitching to Stewart lost us that game...good job Ozzie! At least you can motivate the players. no, you should be happy Ozzie had MB pitched to SS. If he hadnt' this game wouldve went 13 innings before losing 1-0. I cant take seeing that offense anymore today.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 2, 2008 -> 09:16 PM) There is no veteran leadership on this club, in terms of the offensive side. PK and Dye seem content with their contracts and 2005 WS ring. Quentin and Anderson seem like the only ones out there trying to generate something. The sooner OC and Crede realize they're in contract years, they'll be much better. Crede is what he is. A .260 type hitter that will hit close to 25 HRs. OC really needs to get it going if this team has any hope in competing this year. Maybe put some pressure on opposing pitchers with guys on base for Thome,PK and JD.

lol@ closing the game thread. pussies

this offense is f***ing horses***. no reason to think its going to get any better.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 2, 2008 -> 08:56 PM) It just baffles me they continue to have 3 lefties on this entire roster. There's no excuse for Uribe to be batting in the 7th inning in that situation. more like there's no excuse for Uribe to be on this team.

it's amazing that this team hasnt been able to hit for over 1.5 seasons and Walker hasnt been fired. Hitting coaches are the most common firings in baseball. its disgusting.

atleast Dye can pinch hit for Anderson when the game resumes.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 06:26 PM) Why would OC finally try to steal when there's 2 strikes? Nothing like distracting the hitter. normally yes but with AJ hitting, it doesnt matter b/c he makes up his mind about swinging before the pitcher releases it.

go f*** yourself AJ

Thome hits like its a pick up game and you arent allowed to hit to the opposite field.

QUOTE (Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 06:23 PM) Where's Dick Allen? He should really be celebrating Uribe right now. he's probably at the game, cheering his son on.

QUOTE (the People's Champ @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 06:19 PM) Where are all the Uribe haters now? settle down, he still sucks

while this HR is good if we win but it'll hurt us for atleast another month!

good gawd lol

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 06:13 PM) Okay, lets predict Juan's AB. I say he pops out to the third basemen in foul territory on 3 pitches. high fastball on the outer half results in a pop up to the second baseman.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 06:09 PM) wow way to go jenks BA and ozzie... no blame for Swisher or Anderson who cant lay an easy bunt down? is it Ozzie's fault that this team left 12 people on the bases? its time to hold the players accountable and not just be quick to blame the manager.

QUOTE (klaus kinski @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 06:08 PM) The call is questionable because you have a player not usually asked to bunt when your name is Brian Anderson and you cant hit, you should know how to bunt.

hahahaahah
