You guys obviously don't remember the Carl Everett CF escapades from his last time around with us. After seeing him not hit cut off men, not take good paths to the ball, not make good decisions in the field, I'll pass on him playing RF. Dye will be fine, my #1 beef with him in the lineup isn't that he is there, its that Oz continues to parade him out there in the #5 slot in the order. Um, no. Adjustments on teh batting order are necessary.

If we don't score, it should be pretty obvious where we lost this game. You don't load the bases with no one out, and score 1 run. Thats the recipe for how to lose a close game.

Leadoff walks....we use them as a reason to give opposition 2 outs at once, they use em to score the lead run.

shagar...stop. just refrain from that

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Apr 29, 2005 -> 11:58 PM) I understand that but I would never do that and take Carl out....you have to be a little instinctive there. Seeing how we have played all evening, there was a huge chance we would not score more than one if any....bad move by Ozzie....and I said it before the inning was over so there is no 20/20 here Bottom of the 9th, no outs, winning run on. You play to win, not to be cautious.

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Apr 29, 2005 -> 11:55 PM) Will we have anyone left on our bench soon? And this is why there was NO FOCKING NEED to replace Carl with Ozuna Carl is the only one we have who can hit the ball out of the park and focking loser Ozzie does his shiat Because he was the winning run on base...and Ozunas speed > Everetts speed. It was the right move, good or bad results

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 29, 2005 -> 11:54 PM) Are you telling me having a speed guy with the bases loaded trying to park one when all we need is a base hit isnt reason to complain. Come on then. Bad approach, 1 AB. He wasn't alone in that all or nothing HR mentality tonight. This sort of game seems to breed that mindset in our guys.

He popped out on a good pitch, what else do you want? Was a real good location from Walker. Enough of this BS b****ing and whining about EVERY at-bat someone you don't like has that isn't perfection. No One is getting the job done tonight, except the Sac Fly by AaRow

11 walks, 15...FIF-f***ing-TEEN runners left on base..... and this is Detroit...

Theres the Timo I know and expect...

AaRow, my boy...nice appraoch

Yes, wrong mindset by Willie I agree there. But hell, what would you be thinking at this point in the game? I'd be thinking "Even if I do get on and move the runner over, is there anyone in this God forsaken lineup who could actually get a hit with RISP?" Its a complete team effort tonight for the ineptness. Nothing else to be said.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 29, 2005 -> 11:06 PM) Any Willie defenders out there now? He sucks, period. And how was Willies performance any worse than anyone elses tonight? We've had 9 walks, and 12 LOB

Oh, just a friendly reminder.... We took 8 goddamn walks tonight....EIGHT....and we got 1 f***ing run so far, only because it was walked in...

Changing pitchers mid-count.... :headshake Every game, Oz does something that makes me go "Hmmm..."

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Apr 29, 2005 -> 10:08 PM) FOCK YOU PODS Ya, cause he has been pretty useless this year so far. No one on this team right now is doing anything offensively.

ughh.....5-4 Minnesota now....wake up boys, c'mon!

5 Walks in 5 IP, leadoff runner on each time, and we scrape 1 run across...not good.

Monroe was completely fooled by the pitch, and accidentaly walked/limbo'd into it. Forkball that fooled Monroe. Pretty sure 6th was it for Jose, Oz just wanted to get him a chance at a win if we can manage to scrape a run out against the Cy Young Nate Robertson.

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Apr 29, 2005 -> 09:49 PM) Rondell White always focking kills us We should have removed Count after Guillen was gone Easy call to make after the fact. Pretty sure the idea was to get Contreras through 6, and he'd be done. Now Oz wants to give him a chance to get 6, and let the Offense get a run maybe in the bottom of the inning.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Apr 28, 2005 -> 09:40 PM) Cap...the avatar...I got to know. Haha, its from quite possibly the cheesiest music video ever. Its Tommy Seelbach and teh song is "Apache" I'll send it to ya via Gmail maybe hehe..the link I downloaded it from is gone.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 28, 2005 -> 09:31 PM) It sounds like Uribe may take a couple more days to heal. Hopefully, Ozuna will be able to start at SS tomorrow. Otherwise, it's Willie at SS. http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb...t=.jsp&c_id=cws IMO you won't see Ozuna tomorrow, but hey I've been wrong once or twice before. I'd rather give him 1 more day off, then rush him and his forearm.

I understand, but my question is why cant Iguchi play SS? He used to in Japan.

I don't keep up with the minors anywhere close as much as I used to in teh 90s, but do we have anything worth noting offensively in Charlotte right now besides Anderson? Also: Player IP H R ER BB SO HR ERA Person 3.2 7 8 8 3 4 4 19.64 OUCH

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 28, 2005 -> 08:55 PM) This is something I have no clue if it's really true but maybe in Japan the players don't go into 2nd base hard so he's not used to avoiding players down there? Either way, somebody BETTER suggest he learn a hop or something, else those knees are gonna be shot before this season is over. As for Willie, quite honestly it isnt his range or glove that worry me about him filling in at SS for now...its his freaking arm that scares me. Uribe has got a straight gun at SS, and because of that alone we have kept a few more runners off base than we would have if someone wilth a weaker arm was there.
