QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 02:54 PM) It's a useless .300 if he can't run, as he has zero extra base power and doesn't draw walks. But I guess the 9-hole would suit him. But we know that's not happening. dude .300 is .300 there is nothing useless about it and especially how we have been hittin so far ide kill to see a useless .300.. and furthermore he CAN run when he gets on so that if is scratched off.. and I don't care what you say or what stats you try to throw out about this, but Pierre hitting an infield single and then stealing second is as good as a double to me.. his job is to get on base, and get into scoring position not be the run producer and I think eventually here when things pick up he will be doing just that.. theres no reason to assume Pierre wont get going, the dude has a .276 avg and 30 SB as his worst marks in his entire career and having 500+ ABs that steal number is no less than 45..

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 02:12 PM) I put the lack of a DH on Ozzie, and I think that’ one of our bigger problems. KW constructed a pretty good bench; we just shouldn’t let Ozzie be using them as starters. It cant be on Ozzie though, because KW has the authority to say "Im sorry, thats a terrible idea" and do something about it..

It should work, I was in there by myself for about an hour before giving up and following the game thread..

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 02:07 PM) KW is Ozzie's boss. If he just does what Ozzie says, JR could save some money and eliminate the middle man. If the roster is the problem, that's on KW. Exactly, it doesn't matter if the players are Ozzies, KWs, or a compromise it ultimately will be on KW if the players suck..

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 02:02 PM) Keep Walker all year and all bets are off! haha even if Walker is terrible there is absolutely no chance this team hits under .200 for a season.. no way..

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 01:59 PM) Ill put my reputation on the line that the White Sox will not finish the season with a .148 batting average. Theres just no way that happens, the bats will pick up at some point

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 01:55 PM) KW got us Peavy, Danks, Floyd, Quentin, Rios, Ramirez, A.J., and Thornton among others. I don't think we're in the position to be b****ing about his job performance. Especially, in a season where he gave Ozzie most of the say over how the offseason went. Its not KWs job to take orders from Ozzie, it doesn't matter if he got everyone Ozzie wanted its still gonna be his fault as well because his job is to get the players weather they are the players he wants or the players the manager told him he wants..

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 01:42 PM) I'm sorry. You can sugar coat it all you want, say "Well its early" or "Its still cold, wait until it warms up"...but the fact remains, this is one of the most inept, badly thrown together offensive lineups that we've seen in a long time. The additions in the off season make no sense at all for this 2010 team. Come on now, there's no way they hit under .200 all season.. its just not going to happen..

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 01:38 PM) KW has to be concerned. Good teams don't lose all these games at home in April when everybody is rusty. .500 would be a bad enough homestand much less this crap. If our offense was just average there is a good chance we are 5-0 Im not going to stamp this as a bad team just yet, mainly because I think its impossible for the offense to continue to be as bad as its started.. theres just no way it can stay that way, right?

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 01:36 PM) I think he knows very well, and has for a while now, that this team needs a bat. But I think he's going to let them fail for a while to make it a point to Ozzie that the team he wants also is a team that sucks. he HAS to know, otherwise he a complete fool whether we get that bat or not, well see but if he dicks around for too long it will be a complete waste because we will be so far out of it, it wont matter..

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 01:32 PM) I would love to know what KW is thinking right now. I wonder if he's starting to worry, or if he still thinks it's early. I wonder what his back up plans are. If it stays this bad, does he blow half the team up? Im sure KW realizes its been 5 games, and is fine right now.. Now, in a month or so things may be different there..

im still laughing at LOLinebrink that name is hilarious..

lol what did Pierre do, I cant watch the game and no one has explained what happened..

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 12:41 PM) Right because we always take a 10 PA sample size seriously... lolz why not, everyone else on this board has

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 01:38 PM) I know you didn't, you said they were about the same. No I didnt.. The original poster said something along the lines of we could have solved this problem with #25 and all I said was yeah because hes doing so much better.. You pretty much mistook what I was saying, which was neither of them are doing anything special right now anyways..

QUOTE (Ken Harrelson @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 01:27 PM) mercy haha yes! this guy is hilarious

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 12:59 PM) Ya, instead we got their 3-headed monster of Westbrook/Carmona/Masterson. lolz

bump?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 12:36 PM) I SERIOUSLY hope you're kidding. no im SERIOUSLY not I didnt say Kotsay was better than Thome, maybe you just cant comprehend stuff?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 12:34 PM) LOL. I don't even know what to say to this. ? Thome is hitting .182 with 3 RBI and 1 BB 5 K Kotsay is hitting .000 with 1 RBI and 2 BB 1 K

QUOTE (hi8is @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 12:32 PM) I've got MLB Extra Innings here in California.... They aren't showing the game in the schedule? This is my first time subscribing to this service - what gives, why aren't they carrying the game?? Yeah I was gonna watch it as well, and it wasn't there.. Pretty big let down..

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 12:30 PM) Kenny did give Ozzie a chance at a better alternative, and he wears #25 for Minnesota. Please, Thome is doing no better than Kotsay right now..

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 11:22 PM) Exactly. It's nice to see them taking close pitches, but that only goes so far. When you're getting good pitches to hit and you're fouling them off or grounding out, something is wrong. It seems like almost every good pitch they are getting is fouled off or grounded right to someone so far..

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 11:19 PM) The Sox are second in MLB in BB with 24. The approach hasn't been that bad. Just because they aren't swinging at bad pitches doesn't necessarily mean they aren't taking the right approach at the ones they are swinging at.. if that makes any sense..

QUOTE (SockMe @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 10:50 PM) were only 1.5 games out of 1st place! uhh no we aren't
