QUOTE(daa84 @ May 7, 2005 -> 12:32 AM) actually the scouting report on iguchi coming from japan was that he cant catch a good fastball since the fastballs here are harder than in Japan, and that he was a good offspeed hitter i'd say he adjusted to the fastball and the scouting report needs to be changed

QUOTE(JimH @ May 7, 2005 -> 12:30 AM) Yes. Uribe made an assumption and oops, it was a bad assumption. I presume he learned from the mistake. lets hope somebody talked to him about it. you never know with ozzie, he defies logic sometime. Do you think its getting around the league that pitchers can hit our players and we won't do anything about it? It just seems every series if not every game one of our guys get hit. We do nothing.

our offense can make these guys look like great pitchers.

why would anyone give Iguchi a fastball, just keep pitching him offspeed stuff. he cannot hit offspeed

the sox don't knock anyone down.

there was one out, this was horrible baserunning.Even if it drops he goes to third, with one out. dumb ass move

QUOTE(JimH @ May 6, 2005 -> 10:50 PM) I actually know a guy in Naperville who might be at his surly level. damn let me know who I would like to meet him

Hawkins is easily one of the most surly bastards out there. I would not tkae him in the scenerio that Dick allen presented. Talking about this is just filling gap time till game time.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ May 6, 2005 -> 10:33 PM) s***, the poll is confusing. It says shingo for lee, which would be done in a heartbeat, in the thread title but then the poll throws in Paulie? I voted wrong... the guy that started the thread has bolted.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ May 6, 2005 -> 10:30 PM) LaChoke for Marte? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! This is what some caller said on am 1000 right after the game. Jurko said there is no way the sox are trading marte, then the idiot said ok how about for hermanson. Dickerson said thanks for the call, we understand your frustration.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ May 6, 2005 -> 10:28 PM) Let me ask this. If you were the GM for the White Sox would you trade Shingo for Hawkins and make Hawkins a set up man and Hermanson the closer? Is this a new trade? because this is not what he suggested at the top of the thread.

QUOTE(shagar69 @ May 6, 2005 -> 10:19 PM) well, i wouldnt wanna help them out, so i wouldnt do this trade. but if lee were on another team, i would do this trade in a heartbeat. Lee IMO is much better than PK overall cuz he has some speed, will probably hit for a better average and is a gold glove type 1b. but with that said, f*** the Scrubs we're not helpin them out and we dont need to be makin trades when we're this good anyways This is just silly, several reasons, the first is why help out the Cubs. Nuff said there. The second, the suggestion is trading a pitcher who cannot find the plate, and I beleive is in his last year of a contract. shingo is completely off right now, then trading konerko who is in a severe funk and in his last year, for the hottest player in baseball with extra years on his contract. Either excuse, makes this suggestion as silly as cub fans wanting to trade hawkins for marte.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ May 6, 2005 -> 10:20 PM) I don't want LaChoke anywhere near this team. Sure, he is probably better pitching in the 8th inning instead of closing out games. But he is a headcase jinx. He b****es and whines about having to talk to the media. I actually puke a little bit in my mouth just looking at him. Let him continue to blow saves for the Flubs. Shingo may be struggling but his balls make LaChoke's look like raisins. I think you need to re-read the original post

QUOTE(JimH @ May 6, 2005 -> 10:11 PM) You are a good poster and knowledgeable but may I say you're off your rocker on this one. Do what I'm doing ... enjoy the Phillies comeback today, pop a cold one, get ready for the Sox pregame show, enjoy the beautiful day. I just got done hearing a dumb cub fan on am 1000 ask why don't the Cubs trade hawkins to the sox for Marte. I will correlate this suggesion with that one.

QUOTE(daa84 @ May 6, 2005 -> 05:01 PM) it doesnt matter how you win, as long as you win, but teh fact of the matter is that those types of wins occur once or twice a year (unless you have marte and politte pitch in detroit) so yeah the O certainly needs to pick it up, because tonight toronto isnt gonna walk in 2 runs My point exactly.

This is an interesting topic. Two things will play out during this month. We will find out if good pitching beats good hitting. We will also find out if the Sox will break out of their collective hitting slump. Both actually need to happen if we want to prove ourselves out. In my opinion we cannot continue to win like yesterday, we need to hit the damn ball.

since we are giving advice, anything Jim H says needs to be taken with a grain of salt.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ May 4, 2005 -> 02:13 AM) -Closer by commitee -home game -attempt to salvage any form of confidence ...give him a shot. never doubted him for a minute!!!!!!! :banghead

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ May 4, 2005 -> 02:11 AM) Poll: Does Shingo get it done? a) Yes b ) No c) He shouldn't be in there in the first place Addison whether he does or not its just a bad move.

not a good move buy Ozzie. I don't care what shingo does its just not a good move.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 4, 2005 -> 02:07 AM) And Shingo is up in the pen. I am out of town and can't see the game, Why shingo, is hermanson injured. Why is Ozzie this crazy.hermanson has a zero ERA, I jsut don't understnad this mad man,

Buerhle has been s*** the last two games. Somethign is not right. Why was Cotts warming up? I assume Buerhle went to ozzie and told him something.

lets hope Mark is not hurt

I believe I said I hated him when he sucked (past four years) and I like him now when he is good. Yea that's it.

QUOTE(whitesoxjr27 @ May 1, 2005 -> 01:57 AM) now you guys see why i relax and dont b****. There is nothign relaxing about whitesox baseball, you want to relax turn on the braves. I cannot see how any of this is relaxing. In fact I think its unhealthy.
