scenario

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 01:31 PM) I might switch over to the Cubs. That would make an interesting sitcom episode.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 08:39 AM) I think the fact that D Lucy is playing as much as he is is a bad sign, I wonder if they are starting to lose confidence in Flowers' ability to turn it around. I bet there is some injury related thing going on with Flowers.

The reason for Lillibridge's awe-inspiring defensive skills uncovered... http://yfrog.com/z/gz9kanp

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 26, 2011 -> 08:35 PM) Do you bring G back in the 9th? Hell yes!!

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 25, 2011 -> 09:30 PM) Its not about Santos closing. Its about Santos pitching in the 8th. I would have been fine with Santos coming in during the 9th to try and nail it down. Not sure what you're angry about. It was a 4-out save. He threw a total of 16 pitches in the 8th and 9th combined.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 25, 2011 -> 08:54 PM) Go look up the stats on closer success rates when entering in the 8th and then ask who really was talking about winning or losing a game. A link would be nice.

The kid is pitching his heart out. Come on WhiteSox... give him some run support dammit.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Apr 25, 2011 -> 01:23 PM) I'm seriously getting an erection reading these last few posts. You sure it's not Sqwert's new avatar causing the 'problem'.

Teahen's offense vs. Brent's defense... It's a Morel dilemma.

Reasons for optimism.... temperatures projected to be in the 60's most of next week. Once consistent warm weather comes around I believe the offense will too.

I'm not surprised to see Danks struggling. Might take a while to adapt to his new timing mechanism and swing. Hard to overcome old habits under game situations. I think (and hope) that we'll see gradual improvement over the course of the summer.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 03:42 PM) Morel catch the flu? About time he caught something.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 09:46 PM) Absolutely, and I have no reason to believe we didn't. Other than Jerry Reinsdorf laughing when asked about it.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 05:00 PM) Can someone give me a thumbnail on what happened today since I had to attend our baby shower? Sox lost. The usual calls for Ozzie's head and trading players took place. A pretty typical day. Nothing over the top.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 10:40 AM) Regarding the "caller is a customer" point from earlier I don't think the customer is always right so I agree sometimes they need to be told the truth. Amen. Besides, radio programs are more interesting when idiot callers have their a** handed to them. The hard part is that some hosts have a hard time separating people idiot callers and people who don't agree with them. Rongey does a pretty good job of it, though.

Answers the question about how to create playing time for Milledge.

Keep wondering if I should close this thread... but... it's so damn entertaining.

I missed this headline the other night... Bayne takes no-hitter into 7th in Carolina League debut

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 14, 2011 -> 01:25 PM) The article begins with "Phil Rogers thinks...", and provides no actual information from Ozzie or the Sox. This is meaningless, its just Rogers making a guess, no different than us guessing. Not true... we're much better at guessing than Phil is.

Someone needs to tell our bullpen that "all in" does not apply to inherited baserunners.

I really don't get all the KW Jr. hate.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 13, 2011 -> 04:56 PM) At least Ozzie is being proactive: http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/res/2323522256.html That's hilarious. Good job.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Apr 12, 2011 -> 04:14 PM) Somebody could be demoted to Birmingham. Danks maybe? Escobar perhaps? B'ham is sitting with 23 active as of right now. Somebody will have to leave Charlotte to make room for Milledge. Escobar?? Not unless one of those outfielders can play SS. I could see Gallagher getting sent down and moving Viciedo to 1B.

Will be interesting to see whose playing time gets cut into... Viciedo, Gartrell, De Aza, Danks, Milledge...
