no room for showboating....

Pablo has 1 career home run, i love the guy, but he\'ll never hit for a cycle.

no crede

no big deal, just a brain cramp.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jun 17, 2006 -> 04:12 PM) I'll say this -- if Marmol's in our minor league system he's immediately the best arm. Whether he surrenders 4ER or 20 this afternoon. Sure as hell would take him over Lance Broadway. How many White Sox pitching debuts within the last 12 years end on a 6IP, 1ER, 7K performance? blind luck

or score 12 runs w/o him... we didn\\\'t have Thome last year, why does everyone think he HAS to be in the lineup all of the sudden.

regardless of \"schedule\" detroit has showed they can\'t play with the power houses of the AL. 1-2 BoSox 1-3 Yanks 1-5 ChiSox the AL west doesn\'t count, and if it does, we\'ve beat them around pretty badly.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 08:50 PM) Trust me, Anderson has caught plenty of heat around here for his poor batting but Pods is also worthy of some scrutiny as well. My biggest beef with him is that he's consistently inconsistent. Id much rather see him hit a steady 275 than go from 230-300 and back down again. Welcome to the boards BTW. gotcha, just pointing it out if it wasn't already done. but ya, inconsistancy is never a good thing...

we hit w/o thome all last year, i was never worried. the NL is crap this year :-/ we're gonna knock em around on this road trip.

we're all on the same team... edit: of course btw, 12-4 automatically negates any negativity any part of your day brought, ie. my 11 hour work day...

QUOTE(BobDylan @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 08:19 PM) Quite a statement from somebody with only 7 posts. my "post count" has nothing to do with it...if you want to hear me quote classic Sox moments from years ago, then i'll do it. when i see, so called "fans" bashing players who've had a bad 2-3 weeks, those are bandwagon fans. REAL fans, love their team when they are losing too.... post edit: i'll repeat myself for emphasis, i don't know you or your standing in this forum, but if you honestly are basing my loyalty and that of 7 posts, you my friend, are an idiot.

QUOTE(Contreras @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 08:04 PM) Yeah, that 5+ era supports the supposition that Garcia's losses are the result of the offense screwing him. In his losses this year he's given up: 5er in 5.1 IP 5er in 6.1 IP 8er in 5.2 IP 7er in 4.0 IP The offense is really screwing him when he goes into batting practice mode...No 1-2 losses there, chief. Just good old-fashioned shellackings. see my above response "chief". nowhere did i say that's what he did...you kids sure jump the gun on attacking random people for no reason don't you...

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 08:00 PM) Hmm...the 3 games that Garcia lost in his last 4 starts...he gave up 5 ER, 5 ER, 8 ER respectively...how much "Offense" do we need to provide to overcome his s*** pitching? i'm merely stating the whole team was struggling, no need to get defense there champ. or were you going to try to argue that the rest of the team was doing great and he was the only one? it's a TEAM game, if the team is struggling as a whole, it can mess up the pitchers' psyche and cause him to make mistakes he wouldn't normally make in pressure he wouldn't normally have. why does everyone want to get rid of everyone when they have a bad 2-3 weeks? jeez, so many bandwagoners. what did i get myself into.

QUOTE(BobDylan @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 07:45 PM) Three L's in a row and a no decision. i know what the stats were, and again, does that subtract the 7 wins? what exactly are you trying to say? not to mention they happened with all the pitchers were struggling which could have been to little run support from the offensive struggle... i've seen pitchers take a 1-2 loss cause we could only score 1 run...it's not the pitcher EVERY time

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 07:47 PM) LOL, he's just screwing with people. well i wouldn't know that, my first day QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 07:50 PM) 13 and a half. I bet my daddy could beat up your daddy. haha

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 07:28 PM) I've been saying that all season, just another example of how much smarter I am than everyone else. You all sicken me. Taking credit for Mr. Guillen's and Mr. William's decision? It's real easy to say it now after a couple games that he has done well in. I've seen a good number of yours posts now Kalapse and I'm curious as to your age?

he started off 7-1 then had a couple bad games, give him a break. Buerhle's had a few similar back to back starts of mediocracy and then came back yesterday and pitched a gem. he's human...2 bad starts erases 7 good ones? if someone has to be talked about getting "let go" it would be leaning towards Garland. Although he had a solid outting last time out.

i read every post in this thread, and this is my first post of these forums. we all know Pablo is doing quite well right now, and that is great to have that in the lineup, but like others have said, he isn\'t an everyday player for a reason. throw him out there everyday and it might be too much for him and he might go 0 for 20 cause of all the added physical toll of playing everyday. As it stands right now, Podsednik is a much much better option as a leadoff hitter, regardless of numbers. The numbers are not the same thing, it\'s comparing apples to oranges. A veteren to a younger guy. An everyday player to a bench player. i\'m not discounting Pablo, i love the guy, he\'s done great things, but his fielding has honestly made me cry. when\'s it is hit out there I hold my breath, no matter where he plays, albeit OF or IF. Last year\'s team was built on defense and pitching, this year, yes some offense was added, but Ozzie will be the first one to tell you that his main concern is the pitching right now. It\'s been quoted left and right all season long. The comment about the tallest midget based on their two fielding is just ridiculous. I\'ve seen Scotty make play after play out there that I was amazed with, while I\'ve seen Ozuna stop, think he has it, start back peddling frantically, and misplay the ball disgustingly. There is absolutely no contest on fielding and that is the way the White Sox are built. Thats the reason Anderson is playing at all. Why aren\'t we getting on Anderson for his entire season of \"slumping\" ? He\'s in cause he\'s a pretty decent centerfielder, even though Machowiak is batting better. That is the way this team is ran, so get used to it. At this point, I could go out there and bat better than Anderson has... And then!!! another bat that is struggling is Uribe. However, his fielding out there is amazing. So it\'s a slightly different comparison there. All I\'m saying is, that this team is built on defense and pitching, and because of that and the consistency difference between Podsednik and Ozuna, Podsednik will never be replaced as the everyday starter in LF this season, that is just the way it is. Ozuna is hot, Podsednik is in a slump, both will equalize in time. When that happens Podsednik is the better choice. GO SOX!
