Barlett's double in the 8th seemed to carry over Dye's head. MLB should make them put flags on the ventailation ducts.

QUOTE(Soxfest @ May 8, 2007 -> 06:05 PM) ESPN BREAKING NEWS Clemens pissed in Kentucky toilet.......highlights when they become available! My god the coverage of his kid was sickening. The programming on ESPN is horrendous. The man is f***ing 45 years old when he came back to the Astros nobody really cared.

Is there a chance Ben's mom was still alive. A ghost/vision would not tell you to stop before hitting the fence.... The guy that picked them up outside Portland needed children.................although I suppose they would've had to bury her or something. Would be a good flashback and reason for Ben to turn on Dharma. The scientific edge of the Hostiles is somehting I am missing. They looked like nomads and all of a sudden they are this society conducting fertility tests? I think there is a bit more to that sorry. The thing is, I do not think Ben is as old as he appears. Richard did not age and that was really odd but when Ben killed his dad (nice tie in to Locke by the way) he seemed old and although his dad did to......not sure about this one. I thought the episode was really good but I do not like the Sci-fi thing and Locke getting shot is weird. If Sayid is killed I will not watch the show. Also Kate is a complete moron.

Molina appears to call a very good game but to try and get him more playing time is a bit goofy. He is not ready for the majors. Sometimes Guillen really confuses me. I understand AJ needs a rest but there have been plenty of off days. If the reason to get Molina playing time is for his defense why was Ozuna play left over Anderson neiterh are hitting.

Tonight's episode will continue to take the show in a new direction and begin the process of blowing your doors off which will occur in these last episodes. The LostSpolier website doesn't even give it all away as it usually does. Sounds like another keeper.

The NL is an absolute disgrace. I attempted to gain solace watching the cubs lose and had to turn it off after a lead-off triple and walk were followed by three guys batting that were horrendous for the Pirates. The last hitter in their bench is pathetic.

Make Morenau hit a good pitch, not that hard. Our pen is not nearly as good as it was suppossed to be. Still need to hit Cintron, Koonerko and Dye are just bad.

35 6

The funny thing is that ESPN will pretend he doesn't exist or make excuse after excuse if he gets lit up. They do this with Dice-K. When he pitches good there is mind numbing analysis when he pitches bad there are plenty of excuses.

If Detroit sucked he would be pitching Thursday.

On the Comcast pe-game yesterday that stated that he will be back in May and may go to a ML destination with Thome later this week. Hall, Podsednik, and Thome should all be producing for the White Sox June first.

Ozuna should be at short he is better than Cintron and Mackowiak is better than Cintron and a better defender than Dye. Dye should DH. Guillen just loves his Cintron and 2-40 start. We may be shutout.

Posted this yesterday. The fact is this series is not set-up for us to do anything. Next week we should be ready to turn it around after hitting rock bottom. If you expect big games today or tomorrow you are going to be very disappointed. Don't they have Escobar-Lackey and Colon going, missing Santana. I also believe that somehow Johan Santana will pitch next week, Gardenhire always lines it up this way. Scores for the next 3 days; Angels 6 Sox 2 ----Escobar 7 scoreless Angels 5 Sox 1 -----Lackey 8 innings 1 run Angels 3 Sox 0 ----Colon 7 shutout innings ---Back end of Angels bullpen gets some work for first time in series and retires all six batters they face, 5 by strike-out. I also think if Santana doesn't pitch, the Sox sweep the Twins in the dome next week. FWIW

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 2, 2007 -> 08:48 PM) He's always injured yet he still puts up crazy numbers and more plate appearances each season than a certain 3B who's last name rhymes with greedy oh and another that rhymes with stolen. Maybe it's just the way of the modern thridbaseman. His career .288/.411/.459/.870 postseason stat line seems pretty stout and he has had some great postseason moments but I guess when you play in 20 postseason series over the course of a career you're bound to have a bad one here or there unless of course you're Derek Jeter. Nothing really stands out though for me when it comes to him. I know he is always good but he seems to me to be just below great. Again I am not researching anything and it is just an opinion. Has he been an MVP or had a great postseason? I guess I would say he is just a really solid player in my mind.

Couch, Mariotti and Slezak are all terrible jounalists. When was the last timne one of them wrote a positive piece. Although I must say I stopped reading them last year. It is easy to say what a GM did is wrong but then explain what the options were. Roto trades and spending other people's money is real easy when your ass is not on the line. That is what each of these writers do.

QUOTE(joeynach @ May 4, 2007 -> 09:06 AM) Has anyone else realized Santana is like night day road to home. Hes like a 21-6 lifetime pitcher at home and 7-19 on the road. Thats pretty ridiculous. Don't they have Escobar-Lackey and Colon going, missing Santana. I also believe that somehow Johan Santana will pitch next week, Gardenhire always lines it up this way. Scores for the next 3 days; Angels 6 Sox 2 ----Escobar 7 scoreless Angels 5 Sox 1 -----Lackey 8 innings 1 run Angels 3 Sox 0 ----Colon 7 shutout innings ---Back end of Angels bullpen gets some work for first time in series and retires all six batters they face, 5 by strike-out.

These players are doing what they do. None of them (outside of Thome) work a count or take or foul off good pitches. The GM put this team together. These guys are who they are a group that does not have any patience what so ever. Simply watch a game with this in mind. Any at-bat that is over 5 pitches is praised. Watch especially our relievers how oppossing hitters foul off tough pitches until they get a pitch they can do something with. I do not know if this can be taught or what but watching our pitchers work to get hitters out as compared to the Sox giving away at-bat after at-bat is sad. Boston and New York do this incredibly well. With the way pitch counts are monitored now if you work a count the guy is out of the game after 6 innings even if he is pitching well. Not our beloved White Sox. Any time a pitcher gets ahead our hitters are done, a good pitch is either flailed at, popped out on the infield or a 13 hopper to short. Is this the hitting coaches fault......I hope he is seeing this and trying ot do something but I believe our hitters are incapable of adjusting.

QUOTE(caulfield12 @ May 3, 2007 -> 11:31 AM) We need a totally different type of player. Hall strikes out too much, he's not a "young" player anymore and we would be weakening what I would have to consider to be another strength, our infield defense. This would end up weakening our pitching staff as well, as Buerhle and Garland tend to give up a lot of groundballs. I did not reasearch at all, I was just trying to make a point that a Crede could help a team and we would get back something that we need that a team has excess of without analyzing the numbers. Another example would be something like Buerhle/Crede for A-Rod. I AM NOT GM'ing HERE, just pointing out that there is something we need and there is something other teams need as well. I actually believe KW will give away this season before making any type of move.

QUOTE(AssHatSoxFan @ May 3, 2007 -> 10:09 AM) those two women in the Others camp were eye-ing Locke up like they wanted his lovin even if it meant pregnancy and death The pregnancy death thing I find odd....Why didn't Rousseau and Alex die? Ben is the father and has never been off of the island??????

QUOTE(whitesox1976 @ May 3, 2007 -> 01:10 AM) My thoughts exactly! I sure wouldn't trade Crede. Joe Crede was hot for the playoffs and he has a very nice glove. If you could get ML ready talent for him, move him in a second. He gives up way to many at bats. His approach at the plate is comparable to many other players in this line-up. Same thing with Dye. I beleive there are other teams that could use these guys that could have excess in other areas. If Bill Hall shows he can play center could you move Crede for him. I am not certain of the numbers on Hall and am only using an example of the type of moves that need to be looked at.

Kate is a complete disaster of a person. Does she ever make the right decisions. If she wasn't hot I want her killed off. Sayid is the only person that understands you can not trust anyone. If the helicopter pilot was for real why would she be so confrontational when questioned. He has a legitimate beef. For anyone that didn't know the Sawyer/Locke reasoning, the main give away would be that Sayid would be all for killing Ben before Sawyer and would have been the better choice for Locke to take with him. You know who should hook up, Locke and Danielle.

Tonight's a keeper. SAWYER, sawyer, SAWYER, sawyer, SAWYER WHO THE HELL IS SAWYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 2, 2007 -> 06:39 PM) Chipper Jones is an amazing hitter and Freddy Garcia now knows this. Just watching Chipper, it's amazing he's not talked about even more than he is because he's one of the most disciplined and pure hitters I've ever seen. I can't believe people think Joe Crede is anywhere near the player Chipper is, even at his age Larry is still far superior to Joe. Walking injury machine and I believe he disappears as bad as Bonds in the postseason although I have nothing to substaniate this.

It is going to get worse before it gets better. We may not score a run, a single run this weekend. I do not expect much but I believe they will come out of this and be fine. The pitching is fine. We are missing our 1 and 3 hitters. I do agree with the other thread thought to sign Buerhle and trade Crede or Dye. I think the lack of running ability (not speed) is killing this team and Konerko, AJ and Thome are to viable. We can get good ML return with a Gio and Crede/Dye move or something like that.

Walk....Mack can look at two down the middle then swing at one over his head. K-GO-PO nice day. DP at least he made him work. This team is ff***ing disgusting.
