QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 12, 2009 -> 07:18 PM) Sowers looks like Sirotka Good call. Lillibridge looks like Fred Savage.

If you put a uniform on John Goodman, he'd look vaguely like Corky Miller.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ May 11, 2009 -> 07:49 PM) When they put him in the 2 hole they probably told him his job was to get he guy over. He is not a major league hitter (yet / maybe) and really is unable to adjust to the pitcher. That is why I think they need to begin lookingat Greg Walker. There are no adjustments made to a pitcher. Here's where you just need to look at the back of the baseball card. (Actually, with Lillibridge, that's pretty accurate.)

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 11, 2009 -> 07:36 PM) You know the one thing that really does bother me about Walker? He's too damn patient with these young guys. How long did it take to finally get Anderson to overhaul his swing? Ditto Fields. Ditto Lillibridge. These guys need (ed) some serious help and it took forever for it to happen. The Lillibridge thing is crazy -- and not just from Walker. Here's a guy who has struck out A LOT the last 2 years, and he's got the damn bat wrapped around his head with his hands way up in the air. The man cannot get around on a pedestrian fastball!!!! Lower his hands and put the bat on a different plane!!!!

ERA stands at 7.11. This actually could be a pretty cool promotion.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ May 11, 2009 -> 07:20 PM) Anderson was hurt, but after he was sent down to AAA. Tubby Hall was hurt in ST but didn't bother to opt for surgery costing the Sox $3 million over the next two years for the most worthless backup catcher of all time. Cream pies. You forgot the cream pies.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 11, 2009 -> 06:15 PM) His footwork at SS is comical And not ha-ha comical either.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ May 11, 2009 -> 06:14 PM) Gavin has no ability at all to get first pitch strike this year. He's replacing Javy for the ability to hang lousy breaking pitches to left-handed hitters. These pitches are creamed.

That's ridiculous by Ramirez. That needs to be turned.

Gavin is paving his road to Ozzie's doghouse.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 11, 2009 -> 06:07 PM) That would make a whole lot more sense than Lillibridge. Of course, we've had a terrible fastball hitter batting 2nd most of the season. The thing with Fields is that he doesn't really even have a big swing. He just has really slow reflexes, so he can't hit a fastball and balls skid past him at 3rd regularly.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 11, 2009 -> 06:01 PM) Why is Lillibridge in the lineup and why is he hitting second? Shouldn't Ramirez be hitting second? (1) More fastballs hitting in front of Quentin; and (2) If Getz is on, it might get him focused on going to right field, instead of trying to pull every pitch.

Harold really got in the umpire's face there.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ May 5, 2009 -> 09:01 PM) Anyone else scared Broadway is going to walk home the winning run? Damaso Broadway?

Now the walk?

Hawk now talking about pitches Broadway doesn't have.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ May 5, 2009 -> 08:57 PM) What an atrocious baseball game. Can't believe with Floyd starting we score 7 runs and this is where we are... Floyd has his money and is highly contented.

QUOTE (ChiSox420* @ May 5, 2009 -> 08:52 PM) Seems like Walk and Alexi arent on speaking terms from a bad game of dominos...... It happens. Here's where you need an Art Kusyner to patch things up.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 5, 2009 -> 08:52 PM) Everybody close your eyes and pretend that Broadway was one of those good 1st round picks. LOL

Goddamnit. Does Walker even talk to these f***ing guys? Ramirez has been pulling his head out all f***ing year. Go to right field. Keep your head and your ass on the plate.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2009 -> 08:47 PM) Yep Ozzie, way to keep letting Alexei bat against tough righties. Did Wilson Betemit get caught partying with Brian Anderson and Brandon McCarthy? He should be doing nothing but going to right field. That's how he got himself going last year.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2009 -> 08:24 PM) The Chicago White Sox have been swinging this year like they've never seen an offspeed pitch in their lives.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2009 -> 08:21 PM) I can't believe they threw him a fastball. It was a perfect pitch to hit, and CQ tried to do too much with it. CQ is a ball of stress up there. Wow.

Memo to White Sox hitters: The Royals pitchers are throwing many curveballs.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 5, 2009 -> 08:03 PM) f*** ramirez Good to see him shorten up his swing to get the man home.
