it's so difficult to stomach watching this team play anymore cintron gets buckled and wants to swing so bad at two pitches in the dirt, but when the meatball comes over the middle of the plate he just stares it down we have the most unintelligent hitters on our team in all of baseball, half of these guys seem really really dumb and make terrible decisions (uribe gets "Luck" hits, it seems, if you watch his swings that he takes when he gets base hits, they're mirror images of the swings he takes when he whiffs, and when he hits a homerun to left. he's simply not good enough to win, and honestly he never was, i'm sure everyone would agree. he needs to go) i honestly think there's a pretty decent chance that we finish behind kansas city this year, or at least finish with a record near theirs

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 10:57 PM) I'm not necessarily talking about making them faster. I don't think anything can help our 3-6 there, 3-7 with Crede. There are so many questions regarding this team. Why have they just fallen apart offensively since last year getting worse every month? flipped off the swirling lights above the scoreboard just kidding

report on aaron poreda?

porcello is a boras client, probably isn't a coincedence he's fallen this far into the first round, even if he was available at 25, i dont see KW dealing with boras

giants nabbed bumgarner

IMO rongey handled the callers properly, all of the callers want someone to blame for how poorly the sox are playing. well, besides the actual players themselves firing walker won't do anything, firing ozzie, cooper, KW won't change how this team is gonna perform this year someone associated with the Jays apparently said the sox look lethargic to him, just seems like the vets on this team don't really care all that much about winning, especially with their salaries

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 6, 2007 -> 05:58 PM) Errors go on the board you know... LOL, Greg Walker on Chicago Tribune Live. Walk: "We would like to see Owens try going the other way with the ball, using all parts of the field" blasphemy

will fields scratch the lineup tonight, or are they going to put Cintron there instead?

also just now confirmed on 670TS, for the second time this year i'm actually excited to watch the team play (once he gets put into the lineup, anyway)

QUOTE(Wedge @ Jun 3, 2007 -> 02:07 PM) any walks in there? i believe i've seen Dye and Uribe both get walks from relief pitching during this "streak"

i'm a new member, this is my first post just an observation i've made about the struggles of our pen the last few weeks, and coming into this series the book is out on our pen, in terms of the teams that we're playing as far as the mind set of the opposing hitters, when we bring in our pen, it has to put their confidence level up to another level knowing how badly our pen is performing, which could then perhaps give them an even better chance to hit and score runs off of us just something i've been thinking about lately. our pen's lack of any good pitching sans jenks and thornton (and some could argue masset), is probably having a two-fold counter-effect on us. they're obviously not hitting their spots and walking too many guys, but it's also probably helping the mental approach of the opposing hitters as well anyway, i like the board (i generally post on the ESPN forums, which are garbage to be honest). it looks like it has a nice established list of members, and generally always has a hot thread with activity in it
