Their bullpen blew another lead. Cubs scored a run without a hit as a SB and error by Biggio. Carlos Lee grounded out with the bases loaded. I gotta tell you. With a $100M payroll it is not hard to field a World series contendor in the NL. Then Howry, (the 2007 version of Gas Can Cliff) gives up a double to Ensberg, Wild Pitch and homer to Adam Everett, yes Adam Everett. Both of these teams ought to leave the starters in to go all 9.

QUOTE(Wedge @ Apr 9, 2007 -> 01:01 PM) I can't believe that with Reinsdorf's eye to the bottom-line that he'd seriously let this happen. Why would Reinsdorf care? If anything this would help the Sox out as fans would head up there. This wouldn't be a Sox home game. It is suppossed to rain all week in Cleveland and the field could be soaked from the snow and rain.

The fact is, I do not like Pods at all but he has won one game and had a great hustle play to give us a three run cushion that kept the tying run from coming to the plate in another. The sample size is incredible small but he looks good to me sorry. Pull and recalibrate the stats of Thome and Dye both which were humiliated by Joe Borowski. These guys are gettting paid a whole hell of a-lot more than Pods but thus far he has added to this club. Anything productive by Dye and Thome late in the last two losses and the Sox could easily be at 4-1. I believe in the end they will help out but Pods thus far has rightly kept Anderson off of the field which was where my points were.

I'd like to see Mack in right one of these first two games. Dye looks really lost right now. Yet another case of spring training meaning s***.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 8, 2007 -> 10:22 PM) There's no reason why Anderson couldn't get a start in CF with Erstad in LF. Despite his batting average Pods has been pretty bad this week, getting Anderson a start in one of the first 7 games of the season was incredibly doable. Ozzie basically came out and said he didn't want Anderson on the roster but had to carry him anyway at the beginning of the season. Getting him 1 AB and an appearance as a pinch runner through the first 5 games and waiting until the end of the 3rd series to get him a start just affirmed it in my mind. The thing that makes Anderson the odd man out is that Pods has looked good (I can't beleive I typed that) and Erstad has been the best hitter on the team. Ozuna will play over Anderson against lefties as he can actually hit them and has become a servicable outfielder. The third game of the Oakland series will be the first time Anderson may see the field to give Erstad, Thome or Konerko a day off.

QUOTE(HeGone33 @ Apr 6, 2007 -> 03:20 PM) Insn't it great to finally have player in Chicago again that brings you off the couch several times per game. TT is sick!!!!!!!!!!! Literally.....he is out for tonight's game with the flu per WSCR as are Gordon, Nocioni and Wallace.

July 6th Twi-night doubleheader.

There are two ways to look at this. 1) Nice walking around feeding people 2) Guy sets up shop in high rent / highly visable area that attracts destitute people where business suffers because of type of crowd. Sorry but homeless people do not attract the crowd which spends money. This is all about business. If the guy wants to feed the homeless, follow the laws set in place.

There will be no double header the weather tomorrow and Sunday is still crappy and Sox lose money. The teams have plenty of open dates and Minnesota is not that far from Chicago for travel issues. Coinciding open dates 4/16 5/7 Come from Sunday afternoon in LA to Minny the next day this is when I think it may be scheduled 5/14 5/24 6/21 8/27 8/13 I believe MLB regulates that the game be made up at the first open date which would be 4/16.

If K State brings in a legitmate coach and keeps this class there could be a great benefit to them. Depends on who they bring in, kind of like the guy that was fired from Virginia (Forget his name).

Didn't really like the Wednesday episode. I like the reality of the show and that there isn't that much sci-fi but the smoke monster tests me. The whole sex triangle thing, rain fight, yada, yada, yada is tiresome. Still think the show is top shelf. The Locke thing interests me and is a great twist. If you can go back and watch season one it is great to tie them together. I am watching them now and it is really cool, especially the Locke stuff.

The funny thing is that the press conditions at Wrigley are far and away the worst in sports but the shrine shall not be dissed.

What the f*** happened there Farmer had the Sox winning and now thaey lost and the game is over. Either way if we can't change the approach to hitting this going to be a long long season.

Iguchi should be hitting here and NOT bunting.

This is f***ig sad that Thome and Dye K'd by Joe Borowski

Joe Borowski sucks.

DP back in order. Konerk oand Dye 0-6 with 5 LOB Borowski sucks.

To strike out against Borowski in that situation is simply pathetic. The man is completly clutchless.

Thome sucks late in the game by the way

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 04:22 PM) I smell a win. Sorry that's just my lunch. Thome, Konerko and Dye should be able to pound this guy. Konerko and Dye could not possibly have worse games.

Farmer wet himself a little how good of a play was it?

Walks the bases loaded. His magic in the 8th is crumbling. Wow Singleton telling us how good walks can be as oppossed to pop outs. Blake swings 2-0....

Why can't we guard the f***ing line against pull hitters late in the game? Actually was it down the line? Martinez has four hits today.

Only two outs Chris the other two mean s*** right now.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 03:53 PM) I thought the same thing. Perhaps Hawk was right in noticing something with his side going to the dugout. This game, unbelievably, is matching the ugliness of opening day pitch for pitch. Farmer said Konerko thought it was foul and gave up on it.
