QUOTE(fathom @ May 16, 2006 -> 09:00 PM) Hafner hits a walk-off homer off of Sisco. Sisco hasn't been very good this year, has he?

I think Logan's performance was worse than Paniagua's because it cost the Sox a game. At least they won the Paniagua debacle.

Hopefully ignoring the bullpen this past offseason won't bite KW in the ass.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ May 16, 2006 -> 08:50 PM) PK! back to back shots. These homers are Frank Thomas specials. He always seemed to homer to make it 8-2.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ May 16, 2006 -> 08:47 PM) Not as useful as Javier Vazquez. But I know what you are saying. Viz has been good this year and would be a good mop up 6/7 inning type guy. He really wasn't that bad last year.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ May 16, 2006 -> 08:47 PM) They never taught us that in Little Leagues. They start stressing it HS. I made that mistake once last year against Payton (not covering first) and I ran laps like a Kenyan cross-country runner. Never made that mistake again. I went to spring training this year and got to the complex early one day. I was with my dad and he wanted to watch them workout. We spent an hour watching pitchers cover first base. Not exactly a good time.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ May 16, 2006 -> 08:41 PM) Seriously, he needs to talk to Politte and Buehrle about that. They ALWAYs get to 1st base. Pitchers practice that until they are blue in the face from little league on. It should be automatic. Either he was converted to a pitcher late, or he's just a dumbass.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 16, 2006 -> 08:41 PM) That leaves just one reliever with an ERA under 5 right? Yes. Why are Logan and Montero collecting major league checks? Absolutely ridiculous. QUOTE(jphat007 @ May 16, 2006 -> 08:42 PM) Bobby and Neal. And add Cliff and our main three are throwing well. Bmac has been solid for the most part. It's the other 2 spots that suck. Jenks is 5.06. Politte has been better lately. I am not convinced it will last. His history suggests a tough season.

Cotts and Montero are currently the only members of the White Sox bullpen with ERA's under 5.00. Could you imagine how devastating this team could be if the bullpen was fixed?

As bad as TB's bullpen is, Montero and Logan wouldn't be on their roster.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 16, 2006 -> 08:13 PM) I seriously think some people expected our hitters to continue to be hot and for Thome to homer every other game. Get off this f***ing team Logan. Which is exactly why this bullpen needs to be shored up ASAP.

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ May 16, 2006 -> 08:07 PM) Thing is, you can't blame Boone Logan for this. It's like Microsoft hiring a second year business school undergrad, with a history of "B" grades, and asking them to head up the marketing division. This is actually a very good point.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ May 16, 2006 -> 08:07 PM) You do realize Kazmir is probably the best pitcher in the AL East right now don't you? There is a reason his ERA is 2.70 and he strikes out 1 an inning and is 5-2 on a team that can't hit, he's damn good. Was it that baseball genius, Steve Phillips , that traded him for Zambrano?

The Sox bullpen is questionable at best. You throw Logan or Montero out there, and bad things will likely happen. Nelson would be a start, but KW needs to acquire another at least serviceable reliever.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ May 16, 2006 -> 07:58 PM) 15-23 right now, yet they always seem to beat our asses at that s***hole stadium. Billy Koch

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ May 16, 2006 -> 07:54 PM) I knew that Boone Logan jersey was a mistake, just knew it. It'll be collector's item.

The Sox will be 0-2 in Contreras' missed starts.

When they had Logan and Montero warming up the bullpen turned into a butcher shop with all the meat in it.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 16, 2006 -> 07:23 PM) Why does Hawk read some of these emails? He always reads the fluff. I emailed him the other day and asked how we can pin Garland's struggles on Jerry Manuel this year. He didn't read it, at least on the air.

Hawk seems down discussing McCarthy. Boone Logan up, at least its not Montero.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ May 16, 2006 -> 07:15 PM) i think those uniforms are great You're supposed to be a genius.

QUOTE(SnB @ May 16, 2006 -> 07:11 PM) AJ just threw someone out! One of the fastest men in baseball. BMac almost got Paulie killed.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ May 16, 2006 -> 07:10 PM) If my head didn't hurt, I would enjoy this thread better. Maybe lifting weights will make it go away.. I can only hope. Which Unis? BA! The 1906 replicas.

Are the Sox ever going to bust out those horrible Sunday uniforms they were supposed to wear this season?

QUOTE(WinningUgly85 @ May 16, 2006 -> 07:44 AM) Call me crazy but I think we might trade either Pods or Uribe. Uribe has been amazing at short stop but his bat needs to pick up. I think that either Cintron might be a temp while we trade both pods and Uribe to try to get someone. I think Ozuna is ready to play play especially in left field. If you think about it Pods is starting to get things together but for awhile he was struggling. We need him to get on base and use his speed thats where he is most deadly. I think Ozuna has that speed as well. I don't think either of those guys would get traded during the season, but Pods is arbitration eligible, Sweeney is waiting in the wings. Pods has definitely been on fire lately, but the Sox were still winning when he was scuffling. It wouldn't shock me if he was moved, although if Anderson doesn't start hitting, I can't forsee an outfield with BA in CF and Sweeney in LF for the back to back defending champs.
