QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 14, 2005 -> 11:59 PM) I know that. Carl is equally as pathetic defensively in LF or RF. Then you will be posting alot this year, negatively....Welcome to the club.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 14, 2005 -> 11:56 PM) Did you see Everett play CF for the Sox in 2003? Did you see him misplay a few balls in the 3 game series the Sox had against him and the Expos last season? The first ball hit to him this season cost the Sox 2 runs. He is a brutal defensive outfielder. Timo is far superior defensively. The ball seems to find guys who are that bad defensively. Carl will not play center, but pods will when they spell AAron.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 14, 2005 -> 11:52 PM) Carl isn't bad defensively like Carlos Lee used to be like 3 years ago. Everett is at a whole great level of awfulness when he's in the field. We've been winning games because of our pitching and defense, not because we're out-slugging teams. Why not play Gload in LF, PK at 1b, and Everett at DH? If Everett just messed up some plays in the outfield, I would have just marked it up to an Ozzie mistake, and not mention it but once after the play. However, Everett got injured, and it could be a shoulder problem that really impacts a player's swing. Everett is injury prone! TYhe whole outfield is injury prone, Pods is injured now, Rowand crashes into walls and has been injured and Dye is always injured. Whats the point? Everett if healthy will play several times a week.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 14, 2005 -> 11:47 PM) So you're gonna bench Podsednik, Rowand or Dye? I don't think so. Actaully, this will take care of itself, Pods will be injured again and again because when you run you get injured. Dye is injury prone, and Rowand needs a break sometime. frank will continue to be hobbled, he will not be 100% this year. There are your at bats. Again only time will tell. save the thread

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 14, 2005 -> 11:44 PM) Fathom is correct. If Everett is going to be in the outfield a lot the Sox are not going to win. He is a DH. When and if Frank comes back, Everett is either a real expensive pinch hitter, platoons with Frank or is trade bait. He also appears to be gaining back some of the weight that he lost. Actually, I think he will be playingthe outfield, not saying he will be good at it, but he will be playing. Whether fathom or anyone else is right, really doesn't matter, they need to find a place for him to play. He will play the outfield, when others are injured, and will spell them a couple of times per week. Only time will tell if anyone is right.

QUOTE(sircaffey @ Apr 14, 2005 -> 11:41 PM) Why the hell are you getting mad at Ozzie? Where do you expect Carl to play when Frank comes back. He sure as hell isn't going to be DHing a lot. Carl needed to get work in in the OF. Oh well, s*** happens. In no way is this Ozzies fault, period. I completely agree. There will be times, about trhee times a week where he will play the outfield, if frabnk comes back. Frank has along way to go. Carl is hitting the ball well right now and is driving in runs. He needs to play the outfield as well.

QUOTE(chisoxfan79 @ Apr 14, 2005 -> 11:37 PM) If Carl has to go on the D.L. Who should they call up? Lets hope he doesn't have to go on the DL, he is the best hitter we have right now.

Well I like him alot as well. He try's very hard and can play many positions. He is Willie harris's ticket out of town.

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 7, 2005 -> 03:36 PM) My dad and I used to laugh because he could sit in our seats (144 row 2) and I could go sit in 122 and we could barely raise our voices and hear eachother across the park. Those used to be the only games my Grampa and Great Grampa would attend because they didn't like all the people. How about a nice chicago fire through wrigelyville.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 01:13 AM) nah even if Shingo gets the save.... ill be happy with the win yes, but i was questioning the use of 3 RP's in 1 inning even b4 Shingo came in so That's your right. quite frankly everybody questions everything. I question why we still have crede on this team, doesn't get me anywhere.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 01:08 AM) It's not one or the other. They were both bad. My point was and still is, that Ozzie got us to the ninth inning with a three run lead and his closer coming in to close out a game. Its the job of the closer to close the game. Do the job and nobody talks about how many pitchers we used. NOBODY. In fact I again will point out there is probably nobody on this board or in the stands that thought Shingo would blow a 3 run lead with three outs to go. Any takers?

QUOTE(Yossarian @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 01:00 AM) In business, in life, in baseball, thinking should never get stagnant. Going by the "book" may have cost us a game. I don't give a whit for the orthodoxies of baseball or of life. Just get it done, and don't be afraid to "think outside the box". Actually I hate cliches too, but what the hell, this seemed like as good a time as any. Well I agree with your premise but what person on this board thought that shingo would give up 3 hr's in the ninth inning. Back to your premise if Shingo does his job in baseball, life and at the chop suey table, then none of us would be talking about OZzies managing. Shingo blew the game not Ozzie.

I had no problem bringing in shingo, its what he is paid to do. Rivera of the yankees got rocked twice in two games, do you not go to him. Of course you do. Not saying they are the same pitcher but the concept is the same. I am certain that Wedge would have gone back to wickman today if they had a one run lead. You figure your up by three going into the ninth, you have your closer who closed out a 1-0 ballgame two days ago. I would say no problem. It was a horrible game to watch especially being there. if this continues then I am sure Ozzie will get a feel for the bullpen. He learned from koch last year, he won't let this get out of hand. By the way we will lose games this year. Just came to that conclusion.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 7, 2005 -> 01:43 PM) He's just happy to see Willie succeed in a pressure situation Willie had a nice bunt that Wickman blew the play. Thats all you get from me!

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Apr 7, 2005 -> 01:39 PM) Just PMed you Quickman Sold see my PM, I discounted to $60 total. PM me back

QUOTE(The Critic @ Apr 7, 2005 -> 01:40 PM) Dude, I really wasn't trying to rile you up or anything. I was just asking why yours were 30 bucks each. It wasn't indicated in your post that you're a season ticket holder, so I had no way of knowing the investment you've made. ....but no, unfortunately, I won't be attending that game.....and if I was, I'd get tickets at the box office NOW.... I know

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 7, 2005 -> 01:39 PM) Well aren't we in a good mood this morning.. Yea, i know a little cranky, not much sleep, sorry Critic.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Apr 7, 2005 -> 01:37 PM) Ahhhhhhhhhh.....gotcha. Sorry about that, quick! No problem, I just need to keep that in mind when I sell monday tickets.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Apr 7, 2005 -> 01:34 PM) Not trying to be a jerk, but how are those seats 30 bucks apiece? Isn't that a 1/2 price Monday? I looked up tickets for the 18th, and 2 in section 118 were selling for 15 bucks each. For those of us who make the $12,000 investment in season tickets, we do not get a break, but you bring a good point, I will sell them at 15 apiece. i take it since you took the time to point this out that you are interested? Thought so..

Sorry for the Minny game on Monday April 18

I have four seats for sale section 124. 30 dollars a ticket parking pass is free to the buyer. PM me if your interested. I live in the west suburbs i will meet someone out this way to provide seats. Let me know

Don't we do this every year? What does debating this issue on this board do. nothing...its dumb, go if you can and if you can't watch it on tv. Let the owners worry about there stuff and let the fans worry about there stuff.

QUOTE(JimH @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 05:59 PM) "And there's a line drive to left center, he's going to try and stretch this into a double ... here comes the throw ... OUT! at 2nd base." LOL, threw the inside pitch and he turned on it, but Tori Hunter stepped in and threw him out quicker than you can say of course I love you.

QUOTE(JimH @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 05:51 PM) Time for Jamie Burke 101 ... Chapter One, he signed a minor league deal and therefore can't get claimed. Study and repeat as necessary. Beastly is too busy with his new girlfirend to keep up on stuff that has been mentioned about 100 times.
