Jeff Abbot was a stud, but someone f-ed with his swing big time...

Right now, I wouldn't mind KW really trying to turn this team into the twins by either signing Hunter or Castillo, or even both!

QUOTE(fathom @ May 13, 2007 -> 11:09 PM) If Ozzie prefers Terrero over Sweeney, then those age-old conspiracies are going to start flowing again. I was just thinking the same myself.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ May 13, 2007 -> 10:49 PM) ...and when he gets buried by Guillen by sitting him on the bench, people are going to b**** about him not playing everyday and how it would be better to send him down. It'll be just like Brian Anderson. It's just a lose-lose, isn't it?

QUOTE(greg775 @ May 13, 2007 -> 10:44 PM) Why does Sweeney get a free pass from everybody for his lousy at bat today with the bases loaded against DeLaRosito Stiffmeister? I like Sweeney, but if launches a double there instead of ending the inning with the bases loaded, we probably get our heads out of our butts and win the game. The Royals suck. Not winning all three is an atrocity and shows again why it's going to be tough to play with Detroit and Cleveland. In this tough division we need to win all our home games against KC, truly a minor league team. You blame a rookie for having a good AB but ultimately popping out? He was putting some good swings on the ball. You can't expect him to launch a double with the bases loaded and two outs, and also automatically win the game. If you want to blame anyone, blame Iguchi for looking at strike 3 with only one out. If Iguchi just gets a little hit, that takes away so much pressure off of Sweeney. That is one of the more stupid things I have read today.

First off, this is hypothetical as it seems like KW and Ozzie aren't going to try and upgrade this team... But if we were, how would we do it? Sweeney would stay in LF, and Erstad would stay in CF. You aren't going to trade or bench Konerko for obvious reasons. And even if you were going to trade him, you wouldn't be able to get anything from him. And guys who would probably be on the market like Dye and Crede, they won't fetch anything via trade either. Uribe and Pierzynski have been doing good so far, so no need to change them. The only spot I can honestly see us having a shot at upgrading is 2B. Iguchi looks like he has lost it. Everyone else looks like they forgot how to hit, but Iguchi looks like he forgot the whole game of baseball. If we can get someone like Aybar for 2B, that could be a nice spark. Thoughts?

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ May 13, 2007 -> 09:59 PM) Well, according to that logic, Javy Vazquez is a legit 1 or 2 than too. Is anyone going to agree with that statement? not killing the messenger, just so you know Well, Javy does have the stuff to be a no. 1 or 2..........

well, if Sweeney is sent down, you have to point the finger at KW. Since he is the one making all those major decisions on who stays and ho gos...

This is almost laughable...

QUOTE(Brian @ May 13, 2007 -> 05:27 PM) Giants called up rookie Fred Lewis today and started in his first major league game...oh yeah, he hit for the cycle!!! It was his 3rd ML start actually... but none-the-less, it was still amazing. Hey, 3 of this hits (not the single) were oppo! Would be nice to see some of our hitters go oppo... Actually, Lewis played in 13 games last year as well.

QUOTE(greg775 @ May 13, 2007 -> 04:18 PM) Is there any hope he'll be back? We have so many automatic outs. He'll probably be back in time for th Cubs series... which will be good since we will be facing Hill and Lilly.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ May 13, 2007 -> 04:30 PM) There are going to be a lot of these loser threads in the next week, so get used to it. With the Cubs throwing two lefties and Zamboner at us this weekend, we may as well not even show up at Wrigely to save ourselves the embarassment. The only way we win a game this next week is if KW pulls his head out of his ass and decides that some changes might necessary. Maybe he should consider prying his ass cheeks apart and parting with one of out "elite" pitching prospects if it gets us some offense in return. If Sweeney is the best that our minor leagues have to offer, the downslide has only just begun. I know the offense will come around. But to those that say that, I say "Excuses are like ass holes, we all have them, and they all stink." Sweeney is a stud, and could be the top spect on a lot of teams, so don't diss him...

QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ May 13, 2007 -> 03:59 PM) Chris Burke He hasn't been doing much better...

Ryan Sweeney rocks your world, even if he has a bad game.

I love the fact that Dye and Iguchi are playing like they are in a contract year. Well, Dye to me seems just like he is struggling, but Iguchi looks as if he has degressed in every aspect of the game. Any good 2B on the market?

this has been disgusting...

Ozuna - 2B; Uribe - SS; Dye - RF; Konerko - 1B; Crede - 3B; Iguchi - DH; Sweeney - LF; Terrero - CF; Molina - C Thats my projected lineup... Iguchi DH'ing would be ideal so he can focus on hitting for the main part.

She better come back, and soon. We don't want that groin healing all up because Pods isn't getting any. We need him to strain that groin some more, so Ozzie and KW don't get tempted to take away Sweeney.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ May 13, 2007 -> 12:10 AM) 4 for 5 tonight, .467 average. If we kept Willie, we'd be undefeated We could have just picked him up on waivers like 10 thousand times.

If gooch doesn't start picking things up... Ozuna should start full-time at 2B. It's sad to see Gooch do so bad though, as no one can not like him... he is like a teddy bear.

Vazquez owned that ho teacher.

Yeah, lets see what it will be, lets say at the all-star break... that is, if Sweeney stays and starts.

Willie Harris is like jesus, but faster.... Over/Under on when Jack Cust finally comes back to reality?

http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/news/artic...sp&c_id=cws Lol, Podsednik getting impatient with his slow rehab. He should be getting worried, cause Sweeney makes you look like a beyotch.

If I was a kid, I'd be thrilled to go to the ballgame with my dog, and a bunch of other dogs. I can tell you obviously never had a dog, because if you did, he'd be practically a best friend to you. That saying isn't a lie. And who cares about fireworks. The load bangs and the smoke probably scare the kids more then anything.
