QUOTE(ChiSoxFan @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 07:33 PM) Then let's worry about that........in July. Right now, the bullpen can be classified as something the Sox haven't had in quite awhile: A strength (including Cotts). I didn't start this , I am only a contributor. My view Ozzie should never ever let Neil cotts come in a game when they are tied or up by a small margin. Because he does indeed suck. Thats just my view.Whether its the second week or the 20 th week.

QUOTE(JimH @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 07:28 PM) I will take a piece of this action. Let's see ... I already have two pitchersssss coming as well as lunch at Bertucci's. How about beers at the Skylark or would you prefer the next lunch at Stan's Drive In? My view says Sox will take 2 of 3. Let's base it on whomever wins the series, no upcharge for a sweep either way. K PBR's at Skylark, I hope your right.. but you won't. Pods is out and everet will be out. Garland will choke, and Dye is hitting 130 against Pinero. Sorry you lose. Skylark PBR's

QUOTE(ChiSoxFan @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 07:27 PM) Over 100 replies due to one bad outing for Neal? Seriously people, it's the 2nd week of the season. I'll hate to see how some of you react come July. :headshake (I read some of the posts yesterday, but I'm not sifting through all of them) We will be out of it by July waiting to see what prospects we get for Everett, and konerko!

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 07:23 PM) If there is a thread like this after every loss, this is going to be a long, long season. Some of you need to grow up. We're not going 162-0, so deal with it. Boz the thread turned about five times. we will lose two of three to seattle, so yes we will need to calm down.

QUOTE(JimH @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 07:20 PM) You DA MAN, you tell 'em. I did sense a small underlying current of latent hostility ... I see that once again, my instincts were correct!!!! Other than that Mrs. Lincoln ... how was the play??? You may address me as General LEE

QUOTE(JimH @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 07:15 PM) You're just crabby because your wife won't take you to the game tonite. :finger I am crabby that four broads are going to the game with my tickets and I am not. yes, that indeed bugs the s*** out of me. I will make sure thye pay with there own credit cards in the stadium club tonight.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 07:05 PM) Well his numbers entirely prove you wrong. Maybe you were watching a different gload than me? I don't know. True, his outfield defense was not good but how often is he gonna be there? He will either be a dh or first baseman 90% of the time. He also is our best defensive first baseman on the team. Qwerty, you have your opinion, I think gloads numbers are misleading, we will see this year when he hits 240. Anyway, I am certain there are other first baseman we can find out there. Since Ozzie likes him, we will have to live with him. I don't like him, and I watch everygame of the year. We just see through different eyes. That's ok. My point in this thread is I will remain consistant, I don't like Crede, Harris, or Gload. Despite what numbers they have , I jsut don't think they are good ball players.

QUOTE(JimH @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 07:01 PM) Ok Mr. Literal. Oh sorry I just can't figure out that warped sense of humor you have. Please

QUOTE(JimH @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 06:57 PM) First off, those guys have not been to a dentist in eons, you know exactly what I'm sayin'. Secondly, I'm told their seats are actually right behind you ... you better wear a raincoat with a hood, if you know what I'm sayin'. No I know the guys behind me its not them. the polittes will not be around much.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 06:39 PM) What has gload ever done that you do not him? Hitting over .300 last year with excellent defense at first apparently does not make you likeable. Last year he played the outfield and sucked, also I found him very unclutch. Don't like him, doesn't really matter why, just like others don't like timo. Gload is not as good as everyone thinks.

QUOTE(JimH @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 06:25 PM) Ross, if you sit in the quickman club seats, you are in for a treat. These four guys can out eat even you. Unbelieveable. I didn't get their names but I believe 3 of the Politte brothers are named "Sir", "Sir", and "Sir". Lieutenant Politte's name is "Yes sir, right away sir, whatever you say sir." thye are not regulars, they do not have the money. These were given to them by there dentist.

QUOTE(JimH @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 05:19 PM) For those who don't know, we went to Opening Day and quickman's seats are right next to these four guys. These guys are like XL jugheads with buzz cuts and they're all blond and they all look like Cliff Politte plus 50 lbs. Big yellow teeth and they spit when they talk. Then there's Lieutenant Politte ... a big huge guy who appears to be the family leader ... it only took about 5 innings before he told quickman to "settle down". These four guys are about 1100 pounds of rompin' stompin' Politte. It is not a pretty picture. your creating trouble, the big fat politte brother, was trying to get through during game time. He is obviously as stupid as Cliff. You wait until the at bat is over. I just let him know that, while you were sitting on your ass, eating ice cream.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 04:27 PM) ON this board, I never thought I would see someone else who feels like me..Just cause you guys are fans doesn't make every Sox a Stud.. If we win a WS, then you guys can defend every player like Cotts. for the record I hate Harris, Gload, and crede. I will always hate them, even if they go 4-4 . I am also shaky on politte. I remain consistant. Cotts is not good, but I don't hate him Yet....

there you have it from Mr mapquest. Jim don't you know all the bar owners up there?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 01:16 PM) And it is usually the same people who do all of the complaining, which tells me all I need to know about the thread. Some people you just don't pay any attention to, because all they do is complain. Who are you talking about? Bet you cotts gets sent down this year.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 01:35 AM) Ozzie put Cotts in because there was a string of lefties coming up to the plate. How is it Ozzie's fault that Cotts completely choked? actaully I would not bring in cotts if we are in a tie game or a close game. i only bring in cotts if we are down by three runs or more. Because he indeed does suck.

Cotts needs to come in when we are down 7-0. He blows.Another one of our over rated propects.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 01:19 AM) DJ said Everett had a contusion on his back? That is where the scapula is, right uner the shoulder blade.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 01:16 AM) I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I really would like to see Crede try a new load mechanism for his entire swing. He just doesn't get the bat through the zone quick enough on a consistent basis. A new timing mechanism, like what guys like Sosa have, could work to speed up his swing. He will as soon as he is with another team. By that time it will dawn on him that he may want to listen to the coaches.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 01:14 AM) Dear Mr. Crede, Please learn from Mr. Olivo in 2003. Resting your bat on your shoulder only to lift it right before the pitcher starts his motion doesnt help your swing. If your bat is so heavy, please see the equipment manager for a lighter bat. Nice, please add, your not Mike Piazza so please give him back his bat, and grab your own.

QUOTE(JimH @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 12:53 AM) What was the problem ... did you run out of drugs?? i went from Drugs to sex. All kinds of vices.

QUOTE(iWiN4PreP @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 12:50 AM) Ive never had a drug problems I think thats great, I guess my point (tongue and cheek) is people have problems and some get over them. I will assume that many in sports have drug problems, sexual problems, health problems, blah blah blah. Freel is a good ball player.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 12:34 AM) Freel has a drug problem. In the minors, he had a problem (this was like 3 years ago). I had a drug problem about 20 years ago.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 12:02 AM) This team ain't quitting. With two walks in the inning, we make him pay. THAT is what good teams do. Brand new game folks. Weren't you doing homework?!!!!

awesome, I see juggernut been typing for awhile. Expect alot of stats on everett in the outfield.
