thank god we moved wise out of the leadoff spot, we might have lost! sup corpseball, at least the twins tigers and i think tribe lost

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 10:42 PM) Fields still needs to show that he has a prayer against a strong fastball. With that said, he showed a great eye tonight. With that said, Crede has looked pretty terrible so far this year, but that could be for a number of reasons He made a diving grab in the game tonight however, i'm sure twins fans all over the world are going "SEE, HE'S STILL GOOD" Give him 50 games and get back to me

last year, ozzie would be a complete moron and bring in somebody like carrasco or macdougal (if he was on the team last year) when we actually had a chance at winning and the pen would crash in flames no macD or Dj ozzie, please

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 09:15 PM) Why is Betemit not pinch hitting for Wise? probably because he doesn't play center

QUOTE (CryptviLL @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 09:10 PM) I predict Soria will have issues in the ninth.... i wish i shared your optimism unless he has command issues, his 'stuff' is tailor made for our offense

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 09:03 PM) I dont buy the whole thing about "they're not booing Wise, they're booing the situation" that's because they are booing wise, not the situation

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 09:01 PM) throwing beer is obviously completely different.... i mean do i think it woudl suck to get booed by an entire stadium....but booing is the way the fans can voice their displeasure with the current situation....and i would boo (and did after dewaynes 4th AB yesterday) to voice my displeasure with KW and ozzie putting a bad baseball player on the field and getting bad results i think it's funny that, not the players POOR performance but, the booing, is what would ultimately lead the GM to make a change. don't you think he probably goes by stats before the fan's displeasure of the situation? i can't remember a professional sports GM making a change because the fans lead him to that decision

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 08:59 PM) I'm going to back up daa here. Fans are not so much booing Wise, but the situation itself. Given the circumstances, we have every right to voice our displeasure with the lead off spot. please tony, i know you would not be one of the boo-birds at these games.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 08:58 PM) So if you have a bad GM, then you should cheer him on? If you have a bad owner, you should accept it? I understand that it doesnt help the player when he gets booed during a game, but you know what, he shouldnt be in that position in the first place, so what is really the only way for fans to show their frustration with the crap that is out there, its by booing the player that sucks to make their point that he shouldnt be playing. Sucks for Wise, but thats how the game goes. and calling out the morons for booing, sucks for the morons, but that's how life goes

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 08:56 PM) yeah i really feel bad for guys who make at minimum above 300k get treated like f***ing kings, and play baseball for a living....this is baseball and wise is a baseball player...not your daughter who comes home crying because she didnt make the cheer squad....i spent 800 bucks for 2 tickets in an ozzie plan, and if i want to boo when i see a horrible baseball player not perform and in a position he shouldn't be...i'll boo if we signed coco crips for 8 mil, and he sucked, would you be so outraged that you threw your beer at him? lol joking, sorta

even though they just did a score update on WGN, 6-1 Rangers over the Tribe

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 08:54 PM) so who are you supposed to boo??? good baseball players?? booing is a message to the manager and GM as much as it is to the player. toby halls fatass sucked too, i didnt feel bad for him either how about you boo at the end of the game if you lose booing individual players is f***ing pointless, just like your arguement

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 08:51 PM) why?? hes had 7 horrendous at bats uh, are you happy people are booing him? here's a shocker for you. he's had 7 horrible at-bats because wait for it here it comes he's a horrible baseball player. so let's boo him because he's bad. nice. classless s*** right there.

5-1 Rangers over Tribe 6-5 Twins over Mariners FINAL : DET 5 - TOR 1

Twins score a couple, 6-5 Twinkies

QUOTE (SoxFan101 @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 08:33 PM) Probably next year when Wise/Dye/Thome/Kong are all gone. kong's contract isn't up after this year

lol you can tell stoney was a pitcher "Greinke swung at that", emphatically.

softball team in full force tonight, at least we won't be in last place!

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 08:25 PM) Was it just me or did it seem like Jermaine didn't move at all on that single? it definitely was not just you, he's a slug

a decent RF catches that ball btw, Dye is so f***ing slow, unreal

wild pitch costs us a run.

QUOTE (WCSox @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 08:22 PM) Was a warning already issued? no

5-4 Mariners

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 08:18 PM) Yeah don't pretty much all hitters struggle when pitchers do that though? Yeah, and softball teams struggle even more mightily
