  1. Hmm...that hurts.....last night I was taking up for Koch, and here he goes and throws up cookies for the Twinkies....SOmeone detonate this team, and start all over....
  2. No one wants Jimenez, hence the reason we end up with this retread blockhead. WE have got LOADS of no common sense players on this team. DJ said it best...these arent rocket hits, these are hits you should be able to advance on. 3 straight hits, and you cant get a run?? WTF?
  3. Jesus Christ!!! Get this f***nut Jimenez out of the lineup!!! Moron to the Nth degree. Loaded, and CLee goes swinging for the 4 run variety...just hit the damn ball Lee!
  4. DJ is the BIGGEST BONEHEAD I've seen on the basepads in a LONG time!!
  5. I seem to remember TONS of people last year pissing and moaning about how Foulke wasnt getting it done at the start of the season. Chalk that up to management, as he should have been left in the closers role REGARDLESS of the situation, much like Koch is now. ON paper, the deal looked good, and we got rid of catcher dead-weight, and got a pretty good pitching prospect in return. I'll do that deal anyday I am approached about it. Foulke was up for arbitration this year, and good ole JR wasnt gonna fork out what he wanted to stay in Chicago.
  6. Jesus, you people sure have selective memory.....talk about how bad Koch is, hes gonna blow it, look, he threw the first pitch in the dirt.....hmm...thats 11 out of 13 save opportunities. It was the right move for JM, the righty power hitter was up, u go to your righty power closer. He's the damn closer, thats his job, put him in when times are tight. No one mentions how s***ty Maggs has been, or how DJ is not doing the only thing he WAS previously doing, hitting. There are bigger problems on this team then at closer.
  7. but, we keep him because of his "clutch" hitting!!! At least, thats what everyone always says. How clutch can you be and still hit in the 220's?
  8. and then there's Jimenez...the only thing he HAD going for im this year was that he was hitting. Now he is clueless up there...and already a blockhead on the field and on the bases
  9. Poor ole Graffy....I hope he gets a seeing-eye single or something. He's probably thinking, "What the hell?!? They walk Garland and then get me out?"

    While I find myself MUCH less interested after the way this team has played in '03, I still like to see what happened in the games. I am still a fan, and hopefully someone in the city of Chicago will get this thing righted. I'll follow them either way. Why? thats the defination of a fan as far as I know...

    DING, DING!!! We have a winner....MB and his 2-10, 5+ ERA..thats cool.....but MAN, look at how bad Bartolo is!!

    OH MY GOD!!!! OUR PLAYERS ARE HUMAN!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!! FIRE THEM ALL!!!

    Negativity runs rampant on Soxnet.net I see..
  14. Jesus, I wasnt familiar with the name Ruddy Yan, but good Lord, the kid can fly!! We need that....88 SBs, at any level, is quite an accomplishment
  15. another one gunned down by Olivo....when will they learn?
  16. Who put the 1993 Jack McDowell into Judy Garlands uniform before tonights game? This isnt the Garland that I know....no walks, no runs....NO HOMERS allowed? Efficient pitch count? Luckily, we've gotten him a WHOPPING 2 runs
  17. Hmmm....finally have a chance to score some runs.....what do we do??.....I KNOW!!! We let Armando "least power on the team" Rios get an AB!! ANother fantabulous call there Jerry. Probably because we dont have anyone with power on the bench tonight.....no, thats not it...
  18. yep, rafa...good research..you're right. BUT, I dont give a damn where MB's heart is...he can leave it in San Francisco, his HEAD better get back on the team that is paying him to be 2-7 right now
  19. DING, DING!!! we have a winner. Get Greg f***in Walker up here, and get rid of the anchor Gary Ward in the dugout. Crede is sinking fast, and theres someone in AAA that can help him out of this
  20. caring about the team, and getting bombed doesnt make me feel all peachy-keen about MB. he got hammered, he hasnt got the same control he had in the past, and he HAS to have control to be successful. call it "pressing" to overcome defense (bulls***, this isnt MBs 1st game pitching with that defense), call it an obsession with St. Louis (way blown out of proportion IMO), it doesnt matter why, he got ripped, and now we will lose a game that we really needed AND wanted.
  21. the "team" had 7 hits thru 4 IP, they are doing their job. the defense, well, its not a big shocker that the Sox defense isnt real good, "#1" pitchers can overcome that. no one in the field walked anyone on 4 pitches. no one in the field laid pitched right down the plate. but Mark Buehrle did. its not just one game...yes he has been dicked in the past 5 starts on offense, but his BB:K ratio is s***ty, and unless you are a power pitcher, that dont get it.
  22. we're talking about tonight hsc, and it IS ALL his fault. no frontline pitcher can give up 10 hits, 10 R in 3.1 IP and not be at fault. i dont care if they make 10 errors behind him, he's a "#1" starter supposedly
  23. ah...it has become quite comical at this point.....jose was talking about how "ready" the team was for this series against Minny....hell, it really looks that way.
  24. you tend to get "dissed" when you give up 10 f***ing hits in 3.1 IP, and cant get anyone out when it matters. can;t chalk this one up to run support, MB
  25. thats pathetic...there have been some problems scoring runs for MB in the past 5 starts, but this one is all on MB. 10 hits in the 4th inning....gave him a 2 run lead after 1.5 innings, and he proceeds to get hammered out there.
