I really wish guillen would stop trying to play a match up type lineup with the players that have no clue how to perform it. The L/R/L/R stuff has not worked in a couple of years nor has the guy he thinks needs to lead off. Baseball is not that hard to manage it really isn't if you have agood pen AJP can not drive in runs yet he and Kotsay bat fifth for some god unknown reason. Lucy may be a s*** player but he has had some good at bats and deserves at leasta decent look. Also Quentin is not hte player he was in 2008 and should be moved out of the 3 spot.

QUOTE (HeGone33 @ Apr 21, 2010 -> 03:47 PM) Just heard on the Score, they quoted Sun-Times and Tribune tweets.........Zambrano being moved to bullpen. Z must be hurt.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 21, 2010 -> 03:40 PM) The NFL couldn't really have done more. Had the suspension been longer than 4 game with good behavior, the NFLPA would have lost it's mind. As it is even now, I bet they aren't too pleased. Sorry if I was unclear but the Steelers were pushing for as tough a suspension as they could levy.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 21, 2010 -> 03:35 PM) I'd be a lot more panicky if we weren't missing the two top offensive threats on defense. You can literally see the difference with and without these guys on the team right now. That has more to do with this than anything Q is or isn't doing. Duncan Keith is the top offensive threat. This team is playing too small in this series.

The Steelers were pushing the NFL for the suspension to be tougher.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 21, 2010 -> 12:18 AM) Also, it'd be nice if the captain decided to show up for this series at some point. A lot of people haven't shown up obviously, but Toews' absence has been especially noteable. He and Hossa would be nice. Sadly the only guys I think really playing well are Sopel, Kane and the Swedish Hammer. Q is a .500 coach in playoffs maybe that is all we are going to get with him. This team does not look like it can adjust to anything Nashville is doing.

I posted this elsewhere but I will do it again. The ratings suck for any WS that does not include major "nation" teams thus the MLB does not want the mid major type to win thus you will not see a salary cap. The MLB wants the yanks, Red Sox, Mets, cubs, Dodgers etc. in the playoffs and could give a s*** about he rest of the teams.

The site confuses me...I am not an idiot but I just never seem to get anywhere quickly. I think I have 3 posts there mostly when this site was down.

I am not sure what to make of that episode. It backs my point about the hospital potentially gettting everyone in one place.... I need to read reviews on this I think.

Somebody needs to explain to Ozzie that right handed hitters can hit right handed pitching. If they could not they would have been out of baseball by age 12. Left handed hitters struggle against left handed pitching.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 19, 2010 -> 08:54 PM) Their bullpen plan is to what our offensive plan was this year. Both front offices should be fired for having such a high payroll with such glaring holes. Bats are easier to find than bullpen help. How is that cub offense doing when not able to play in the wind tunnel

The Hawks will have four goals in 3 games after tonight. Any discussion of the team starts and ends there. Keep believing the hype boys

We are now seeing that when guillen has to put thought into making decisions with the lineup and during the game, he is not capable of doing it. This should be his last year.

Watch it be someone like Dave Bush or something odd and pointless. If it is a cub, I could see Dempster or Lilly as well.

I rewatched last week's episode last night and I have a question about the well that I was hoping someone could answer me.. We are to assume it is the same well that Locke was going down when the flash occurred and he fell, suffered a compound fracture and turned the wheel as instructed by Christian. Wasn't this the same place where the Swan was built and Juliet set off the bomb. If I am correct, the well was replaced by the building of the Swan and thus in the current on island scenario the Swan was never built and Dharma never existed......

Danks and Mark should help minimize the running game.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 19, 2010 -> 03:15 PM) The team was awful in the 90's and built its fanbase rather than having it shrink. Community overhaul, Sosa, Wood, Grace, Harry Cary I just think that at the prices they are asking attendance will tapper off. Remember this was Year One

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Apr 19, 2010 -> 03:47 PM) The Red Sox lineup isn't "really good" anymore. With Ramirez gone and Ortiz not what he was, their lineup has regressed considerably. I'd take there's over the White Sox without hesitation though. I posted this over in some thread over at the PHT side but I am not sure that the Red Sox lineup is all that it is cracked up to be. I can see them getting old quick.

I am being serious when I ask where would CJ play. Omar would be the first RH and LH bat off the bench and the first 3B/SS/2B off the bench of the 2.....why I am not sure.

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Apr 19, 2010 -> 01:47 PM) I agree that a GM should not make drastic changes in April. The difference I see is that the Red Sox actually have a good offensive team that is starting slow. The White Sox have a bad offensive team that is starting slow and any drastic change would be good and something that should have been done before the season started. If you compare the teams its not even close. C - Victor >> AJ 1b - Youk >> PK 2b - Pedroia > Beckham. 3b - Beltre > Teahan ss - Scutaro = Ramirez, maybe a slight edge to Al. LF - Elsbury >> Pierre CF - Rios > Cameron RF - Quentin = Drew. Both have health issues. Carlos has more upside. DH - Ortiz > Kotsay. Both are terrible. The only positions were we are better are CF and arguably RF. The Red Sox are significantly better at multiple positions. Thus, it would be dumb for them to panic. The White Sox, however, need to make changes to improve. I don't consider that a panic move. Quentin is >> Drew and you leave Jones of of the equation for some reason. I will also say that I do not think elsbury is >> then Pierre. Jon Lackey was lit up today.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 19, 2010 -> 12:32 PM) Or stepped on a third basemans back? Or he sticks out an elbow at a 1B trying to reach around him to get a wide throw? or used his face to try and break Barrett's hand.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 19, 2010 -> 12:27 PM) Why? Haven't they done most of their ticket sale damage by the time the deadline rolls around? Sure but do you think that the follwoing year people are going to pay the prices they are asking. Eventually the novelty will wear off.

Pennents can not be won in April but they can be lost.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Apr 19, 2010 -> 12:14 PM) Thats opinion, I don't think the NHL games are any good until the last 2 minutes of the third. I enjoy watching all of the NBA playoff games. Wow I would stay it is the complete opposite.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 18, 2010 -> 05:24 PM) Aramis Ramirez has an opt-out clause this offseason and could be a firesale candidate. Derek Lee, if his bat stays hot, ditto. Free agents to be are not goignot getyou all that much though. The difference between Konerko and Lee is that Lee is awild card in free agency who can ask for a decent amount of money. Konerko is almost assurred to have to take a pay cut. Also the prices the cub charge make a fire sale tough.
