QUOTE(hitlesswonder @ Apr 28, 2007 -> 12:18 AM) It's true that Tavares isn't that special, he's sort of like Pods but with the glove to play CF. But that wouldn't have been bad, as the Sox could then have ditched Pods and brought in someone that could hit to play LF. It's pure conjecture at this point, but I think Hirsh will be better than Gio or Floyd. He racked up great numbers in the PCL and is doing well with the Rox now. Gio is off to a good start, but it's possible the park in BHAM is hiding the gopherballitis he had in Reading last season. If Gio moves up to Charlotte and proves he can pitch in that bandbox, I'll start thinking he might do something in the big leagues. I hope the Sox move him up soon. At this point, there's no sense wasting any of pitches in his arm at AA. He leads the league in strikeouts not sure if the park can be attributed to that (maybe they have bad lights). Also has a 1.69 ERA. teams will loo at this in July and give up somethign good/decent for him which we could use right now.

Ya Sox. Night all.

Huh, that was scary.

Down and in then over his head away. He has no control at all. His pitches are a crap shoot. Sorry enough with Logan he has no clue where the ball is going.

Hye it is raining her enow my grass will grow. Cool. Nice hanger for a K there.

Have they gotten ahead of a hitter since the 5th.

Guillen needs ot figure out what to do with the pen and stick with it. I do not like Boone Logan.

The sickening part of this game is watching the Royals look at pitches off the plate and the Sox swing at everything. Pena has gotten on base the last two days late in the game.

2-0 to Pena come on.

McDougal ain't going to make it to May with this workload. Think the Pena kid is going ot rip it somewher?

The last two at-bats for Uribe were hidious.

Nice joe

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 10:35 PM) Let's see how Kansas City handles the slippery, slick free tundra that is the Kansas City outfield. You would think that it's impossible to clearly field a ground ball out there. Let's just see how they'll players handle it. Pop ups on the infield and flailing away to get home seems in order. Guillen has no clue on what to do with the bullpen.

I really can not take Hawk and DJ and their love for the Royals and piss poor excuses.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 10:28 PM) AJP has to be the worst defensive catcher in baseball. Nice pitch there. AJ is a hitting machine.

This bullpen refuses to throw f***ing strikes.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 10:25 PM) That wasn't Macko. He's in RF. I know. How did this alignment come about? Hawk is blowing the Royals they are 6-13 and not good and haven't been for god sake.

Am I stupid, but what happened to Mackowiak? How f***ing hard is it to play the outfield? Any chance of rescinding the Thorton contract? Is that 4 blown holds/save opportunities?

Hey Hawk, throw strikes and they may go away.

Start an inning with a guy and go with him. The leftie/rightie s*** is driving me f***ing nuts.

Why not DH Ozuna? Is Bannister right handed?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 10:45 AM) Ah my favorite writer Joe Posnanski... I wonder how much better the KC pen would have been with MacDougal and Sisco still coming out of it? How about Ambrose Burgouix or something like that.

I honestly do not think Guillen understands that a PH does not have to bat. He never does the double pH switch. This game is poorly managed by Guillen.

Sisco is our 5th best reliever. This game is all on Guillen and his horses*** use of the bullpen.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 02:45 PM) In all reality this is what should happen. The game should end Whitesox 9 - Royals 2. The whitesox should be held to 4 runs over 6 by Meche. Then the Royals bullpen comes into the game, and bombs away. Except hte White Sox have never see the guys in the KC bullpen except Riske and therefore it falls to the old never seen him before Cy Youngification of an ordinary pitcher. Hawk, "The Royals got some good young arms out there in that bullpen." Sweeney is good for at least 3 RBI tonight as he simply kills Mark Buerhle. These are not overly negative facts, these are proven points.
