QUOTE (fathom @ May 4, 2011 -> 03:36 PM) Ha, just retire Omar and become our manager. I'd be pretty content with this.

YAAAAY! JUAN UP TO SAVE THE GAME!!

Sweet baseball gods, just let Omar go oppo and tie this game up.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ May 4, 2011 -> 02:54 PM) When was that??? Maybe after the first week or so of the season when the team had the most potent offense in the AL. It's been all downhill from there.

Someone needs to light a fire under this team, right? The shoulder-shrug captain should be the guy to stand up and start calling for accountability, but we all know he'll just calmly and quietly say "well.. it wasn't our day, it's nobody's fault but our own.. blah blah etc"

This team is laughable.

Looks like we have this year's stars and stripes cap design. Mets wore them last night. Paul Lukas' take on UniwatchBlog More images from Mets Police:

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 4, 2011 -> 01:21 PM) In Juan's defense, that was a balk. And also in Juan's defense he got on base 3 times last night and now once today. Can't really ask a ton more of your leadoff hitter.

So, he can still face the minimum..

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 4, 2011 -> 01:14 PM) shouldn't pitch to Kubel, he's the only guy hitting on this team Kubel will very quietly hit free agency after this season and I really wouldn't mind it if the Sox put in a bid.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 4, 2011 -> 12:33 PM) Anyway, what's for lunch, guys? I'm thinkin' Girordanos or however you spell it or Chiggys? I love me some gyros. I'd do a gyros if I didn't eat a whole pot of chili last night while we tailgated last night's game. I can't my toilet surviving the chili/gyros 1-2 punch.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 4, 2011 -> 12:08 PM) Supposedly he started to come out of the dugout, but went back in once Becks quit arguing. He started to come out, but Beckham let the subject go pretty quickly. There wasn't much energy in the stadium, even as the no hitter approached.

I was at the game last night and I haven't gone through the game thread.. was anyone wondering why Omar didn't pinch hit for Morel in the 9th last night?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 1, 2011 -> 05:52 PM) Ditto on the bolded. And I feel awful for season ticket holders. They can't give away tickets. Good problem to have, if you ask me.. I prefer when the White Sox win, but I also get to watch some really good baseball teams when they come to town, and every now and then, The White Sox look like one of those teams too.

I'll be there Tuesday to light the fuse. Maybe Wednesday too if I'm feelin saucy! I'm still "All In." Go Sox.

QUOTE (SoxPride56 @ Apr 30, 2011 -> 11:27 AM) I'll be there, unfortunately. At least I will be in Club Level, and am not driving, so hopefully I am s***faced by the 3rd inning. Maybe then this team will be bearable to watch. 3rd inning?! What are you waiting for?? I was drunk before I walked into the stadium last night and that's pretty much the reason I made it through the 7th. I would not have been able to deal with that game sober.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 30, 2011 -> 04:16 PM) I wouldn't say that I was "worried" or that this is "too much to recover from." This is the last day in April. BUT I am really wondering what's wrong with this team? They are playing waaaay below their capabilities and that pisses me off so much. I can barely watch. Absolute horses*** baseball. It figures that I renew my mlb.tv subscription and they start playing like this again... maybe for everyone's sake I should cancel it Don't do that.. just watch other games.. that's the glory of having access to EVERY baseball game that's on.. it makes turning the Sox off much easier.

Rios

Worried, disappointed, maybe a little jaded, yes, all of the above. Hopeless.. no. The Indians are falling apart as we speak with injuries to their already over-performing group. The Royals are falling back to earth along with them. The Twins are a MASH unit and the Tigers can't seem to hold it together either. 83-85 games takes this division, and that's not out of the question, and we all know that once the playoffs start, anything can happen.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 29, 2011 -> 03:25 PM) So what, its still tweeting. apparently there's a policy against it.

This says he'll serve his suspension tonight and tomorrow.

I've been doing this QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 29, 2011 -> 10:42 AM) I have a shoebox I have been throwing them in for as long as I can remember. So I can do something like this. QUOTE (SnB @ Apr 29, 2011 -> 11:37 AM) I knew someone who put all of his stubs on his desk at home and then fit a glass panel to go above the desk, so it was like the stubs were put into the desk. It looked awesome - he had stubs from the 70s I'll be out at the ballpark tonight, here's hoping to pull my attendance record over .500!

On Opening Day 2009, I got to my seat out in Left Field and there was a ball just hanging out under it. It was a very cool way to start the season. I still have that ball and my ticket stub in a case on my desk. Last season, I got the ball from this JJ Hardy home run hit off of Freddy Garcia on August 10th. http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=10818141 There was a little kid in front of me who bailed when he saw the ball coming at him. It landed right under his seat and I grabbed it. I felt like he'd a appreciate it more than I could. Plus, he was wearing a WrestleMania shirt and his Dad was a really nice guy.
