Soxplosion

Oh my God. I just asked for us to take initiative and now the player who was victimized is agreeing with the ump. Pathetic...

Our beloved Sox are always getting ripped off by incompetent umpires. The strike zone gets a little bigger when we come to bat, all kinds off things. I can take that, theyre only human. But last night was the final straw. As loyal Sox fans, we must take action against the umpires who cost us last nights game. We didnt play great but we would have won if Credes homer was called fair. The game would have been tied and our team would have been rejuvenated and pumped up. I believe the posters of soxtalk.com must write a letter to the head of Major League Baseball. In it, a couple of demands shall be made (feel free to add your own but please stay within reason): -Eric Cooper must be fired. No exceptions. -Baseball must go the way of football and install instant replay. With that, Jerry Manuel would have have challenged last night, Tim Timmons would have looked in the camera, made the correct decision and told Joe Crede to trot around the basepaths yet again. I will help in this effort but I cant do it all by myself. I need someone first of all, to give me a place to send the letter. And one letter from a teenager is not going to do anything. More people must send in letters. Send in letters and state your own demands. But justice must be done. And please keep it formal and properly spelled and with proper grammar. As much as you may like to (and I would too), "why are you effin' morons ripping my team off?!" is not going to help. Send it on email or in the mail. But just make sure it gets there. We must right the situation. It is unacceptable. And Comiskey, as we all know, is this years All Star game host. Im going to be there (OK, I hope Im going to be there ). When they introduce the umps, Im going to boo as loud as I can. I hope you people will join me. And those of you who go to Comiskey now, boo the umps. We must take the initiative here. Doing nothing will never solve anything. We must go on the offensive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im glad Jerry actually got up but he shoulda gone all out and told that moron what was on his mind...

I dont care about money either. Im pretty well off but when I grow up Im gonna be sufficient, not luxurious. Im gonna join the Navy/Marines, Im still deciding. But life for me is gonna be about honor, and that is much more important than money...

Ah, it worked like a charm. Guess I wont be at the chat tonite. Sorry. Now I just gotta do my homework so I can watch it. Later fellas...

Given our track record the last couple of seasons in the West, you might say the same thing about the Sox. I was trying to avoid thinking about that. Thanks CK...

Ooh, I know what Ill do. I have a theme filter. So Ill just go there and look under baseball and if its there thats where Ill find it...

In the eyeball? Christiansen coulda killed that poor kid, whatta jerk...

Yes he was. He could greatly improve our baserunning and our bunting. He can be the "small ball" coach. No real position, just JMs aide to make him more aggressive. And of course hell work with the team on bunting and baserunning...

Eyeing a pitchers pitches is a strategy for hitters. Its just a quick check to see what hes throwing! Jesus, does everyone whos just trying to see what hes up against deserve to get hit in the head? I hope Christiansen is out of baseball permanently...

Oh, that was a big debate a couple years ago. Christiansen picked up a baseball during warmups and just chucked it at some guy who didnt provoke him at all (even then such a thing is unacceptable). Im not sure where Christiansen is now but the guy he hit was hurt pretty bad if I recall and hes out of baseball I think...

One lady wanted to deport him. This is some serious stuff. But I am glad the Cubs are reacting to it. I just hope they carry thru with their intentions of punishing this idiot...

He plays for the Scrubs. What did you expect?

Awesome. Im not sure where CSN is so I might be hanging out there come gametime... What provider do you have? You wouldnt happen to know where CSN is, would you? My dad made a list of the channels but we dont watch CSN that much so he didnt put that one on there...

Awesome. Im not sure where CSN is so I might be hanging out there come gametime... What provider do you have? DirecTV...

I liked Ozzie too but I dont think a guy with a career .287 OBP should help our hitting. Well make him the bunting coach too. Bunting and baserunning. So we have a guy who thinks he should help the hitting, one who think hes should do baserunning and one who wants him to instruct our defense. A guy for every aspect...

I dunno. One thing our hitters lack is patience. And Ozzie aint gonna help that much. His career OBP was .287, which is pretty pathetic. How bout as a baserunning coach. That way we could keep JM. Hell be in charge of when to green light the runners and all baserunning tactics. I was pretty young in his days with the Sox (age ten in 97' when he left) but he was a pretty good baserunner as I remember. I think he could help us a lot there. Aggressive baserunning is the one aspect of the game were lacking in...

Awesome. Im not sure where CSN is so I might be hanging out there come gametime...

Minnesota wont survive the West. Seattle, Oakland, Anaheim and maybe even Texas will rip em apart...

JM is not a small ball manager. Wally Backman is. Ward isnt great either but JMs gotta go first...

If I cant find CSN, I think I gotta check this chatroom out...

I like in VA Beach so I got Baltimores CSN. I just hope I can find it amongst the 999 channels of my satellite dish...

Seeing the Twins incompetency to beat any decent team, I think KC might come in second. But they will NOT come in first...

Amen brother amen. We need Wally Backman in here. This team is not a team that should have 4 total SBs. If we get Wally in here we will run all over the opposition. JM is too passive, not aggressive enough. This isnt only on the basepaths, its with the umps too. We need a Bobby Cox type of guy in here. The umps are always messing with us, the next time we need a guy who will jump of his butt and give that ump a piece of his mind...

They played a really good team once this season and they lost two of three. Yeah, we played em twice but the first team was not the same team as the second team. The second series we brought a good team and showed em up. The same will happen when they go to the Bronx, and to the West. Minnesota is a sinking ship and KC wont last long, then the division will be ours for the taking...
