QUOTE(longshot7 @ Mar 17, 2007 -> 09:55 PM) Shows what u know. Sox fans seem to have no clue how bad Erstad is at this point in his career. If he starts, we will be sorry. Heh, trust me...its not the outfield I want. Was a bit of sarcasm there. You won't find a bigger supporter of an Erstad/BA/Dye OF with Pods on the bench than me, but its not happening. Anderson is going to Charlotte, injury or not.

Asking how it affects BAs chances of making the 25 man roster have everything to do with the BA talk thats dominated the boards for a while now. Its pretty obvious that injury or no injury though, the roster in terms of OFers has been set for a while now.

Heh, BA had approximately 0% chance of being in Chicago to start the season even if he had hit for 2 cycles today, sadly. Yay for Pods/Erstad/Dye outfields!!

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Mar 17, 2007 -> 06:44 PM) That was Ozzie's fault. BA is our best option in CF. Give me a break. BA IS still the best CFer this team has, unless we just want to disregard defense totally for 2007. Even BA knows he is AAA bound by now. Sure, that swing looked pretty pisspoor, hell I'd be swinging bombs away at this point too if I knew my fate was decided regardless of what I did on the field.

And Vandy win gives me my first Elite 8 team gone from the tourney..damn you Wazzu!

I still don't understand how some of the masses can blindly follow and truly think that Pods/Erstad/Dye in the outfield gives this team its best chance to win. Maybe after they see that AWESOME positioning Pods uses...aka play on the track for every hitter, his limp noodle throwing prowess, and running in mud speed he possesses now, perhaps the truth will ring in? No, probably not...'tis more fun to blindly follow and believe in the ability of a guy who had one good season ever in LF, and a guy who hasn't played CF in years for CF.. WTG Oz! Shoulda just reassigned BA the first day of ST, we all knew it was going to happen anyways. No reason to put the best defensive players on the field or anything. Oh, thats right, as you said yesterday, with Uribe and Erstad up the middle, we're "alot better defensively". Yeah, ok.

And Arizonas crappy play kills my perfect Midwest bracket now! Shoulda known better than to take that team

Like I said, I

Hey, did you guys know that latin players don't walk? Just in case you've missed that so far...

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Mar 16, 2007 -> 05:53 PM) Justin Stone is the freaky lovechild of Mack and Pods. HAHA, he did look a bit wired on something

I'm sorry, but Mack is my hero. Mack hits the way Pods should be hitting...to the right side and on the ground.

I'd like to see points off turnovers for Wisc in the 2nd half, and FG% in the 2nd half too. Of course, I'm way too lazy to find that myself!

Damn you Nevada!! Perfect region bracket will have to wait until 2008, unless Florida and Arizona hold up in the Midwest...

OK, we don't need Gooch hurt, unless theres a grinder out there on the FA market that can play 2B...

Pods, did you see what Mack did there?

Want To Buy a Creighton rebound =/ Um...what the hell was that Creighton gameplan for the last shot...

"This guy(Erstad) is the definition of a grinder" /puke, we get it already Hawk.

Well TAMCC trying to finish the monumental collapse that Winthrop started...

I need a Creighton win for a perfect South bracket here...

Nice catch there by Pods.

QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ Mar 16, 2007 -> 04:50 PM) Was it just me, or do anybody else come away from the interview with Kenny Williams and Ozzie in the second inning thinking Brian Anderson is going to Charlotte? Sure didn't hear his name mentioned and it sounded like they expect Erstad to get a lot of at bats. considering what Ozzie has already said about Anderson needing to go to the minors if he isn't the everyday CF, he's a dead man. 2 quotes from Oz confirmed what we all know really: "The bottom of the order with Erstad, then Pods healthy will do alot for us." "The defense up the middle with Uribe and Erstad really will help us out." In not exact words, but yeah...

As the biggest Pods hater, I likes the bunt idea...wouldn't hold that against him really, was placed right, just a bit too hard.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Mar 16, 2007 -> 04:46 PM) So, will BA have to hit .400 this spring to stay on the roster? Lets face it, BA could be hitting .800 and he'd still be on his way to Charlotte. Oz is making all sorts of subconscious comments that all but confirm that Ba has a snowballs chance in hell of being in Chicago come April.

Uribe singlehandedly trying to keep KW on air forever by fouling off 2000 pitches

Sigh.... I give Erstad 40 games in CF before he is hurt or an extreme liability there. I hate this BS about saying we're tryingto build one way, and doing something totally opposite in the personnel moves. "High ceiling" guys eh KW? Erstads ceiling in CF is that impressive you you and Oz huh.
