QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 10:50 PM) Definitely, but we've been seeing the same thing from Ramirez since he came here. And it may very well always be like that with him, and wont matter where he plays on the field..

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 10:48 PM) It's frustrating because the offense has seemed to pick up right where it left off last season. In fact, it feels like it's been the same offense since the downturn in 2006. Agreed, but its still just 4 games so far and while its definitely justifiable to be upset with it, its not time to throw in the towel on a 162 game season 4 games in...

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 10:45 PM) He'd probably be great (at least very good) if it weren't for the mental lapses. The problem, though, is that he seems to be a real idiot. I don't mean that in the generic sense. I really think he's a very stupid person and that he can't be taught to focus more. Well to be fair, there have been a lot of stupid people that have been very good at sports..

4 games is a VERY small sample size for what the season offers If this is the same crap after this first month, ill step out onto the ledge too ill edit in the starting pitching has been great so far and the games close, at least were not gettin trounced like the Astros.. if you wanna see a really bad team with nothing, watch one of their games..

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 10:41 PM) Can't we try to switch Beckham and Ramirez? You can hate on Ramirez mental lapses all you want but you have to face it the guy looks amazing there sometimes, thats more than likely the reason they elected to keep him there over Beckham Beckham prolly doesnt make the same mistakes, but you might also not get the same plays

too much over reaction.. Ramirez more than likely cost us this game with his mental mistakes.. maybe we still dont win if he doesnt have those 2 errors, but ide like to think otherwise..

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 11:03 PM) When can our starters be extended to go eight innings a night? maybe when they stop throwing 100 pitches in 5 innings?

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 05:33 PM) I think Mauer is just scared. That would be my guess..

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 10:36 AM) We were all taking part of a live chat on FutureSox!!! I was wondering why when I checked back on this thread at like 1130 there were no replies or updates about how the minor league games went.. But I did click the link to that chat blog thing and it was pretty cool..

Its been two games, geez

Ill start worrying when we actually get beat up bad.. tonight was a little mixture of things Cleveland hit maybe 2 balls hard all night, everything else was crap that just weakly made its way to an open spot, they could have just as easily been shut out again tonight.. As far as the offense goes, we at least hit some balls hard namely Beckham, Rios, and Paulie and we also had 7 walks as well.. Either way, its not like Cleveland pounded us and we couldn't find a way to get on base.. We had 13 guys reach base I believe in the first game as opposed to the 9 who reached base tonight which isn't that much of a difference..

Ouch, that was the pitch to hit

Im never watching the Sox on WGN again, everytime they are on the game is always pathetic..

This strike zone has been all over the place

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 09:10 PM) I would agree, but 80-84 is far more realistic than the 95+. haha well yeah obviously

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 09:06 PM) I liked that probably the most realistic range, 80-84, got 1% of the vote. I thought the 85-89 was a little more realistic before watching this disaster, but I will just chalk it up to the crap weather and the breaks Cleveland had with their hit placement

lmao at the 40% who predict this team to win 95+ games

QUOTE (almagest @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 09:34 PM) Lots of luck on Cleveland's side. Hitting bad pitches softly where no one is playing. Of course, it doesn't help that we only have one hit, but Carmona has been pretty effective since the first. Yeah, just about all of their hits have been little weak hits that have barely fallen out of the way of one of our defenders.. im sure wed have more than 1 hit if Carmona didn't have 6 walks..

I swear all of their hits have been weak

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 08:12 PM) How do we only have 1 hit right now? because he has 6 walks

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 09:00 PM) f*** i can't stand this guy I like him.. What I cant stand is Hawk continually saying "snab".. its SNAG!!! nice snag, not nice snab

they have gotten some pretty weak hits this inning

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 07:33 PM) Back to the point at hand...make it stop! I would have lost it if he had come up with the bases loaded AGAIN

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 07:28 PM) Toxic Avenger remake PG-13?? Lame After seeing this post I went onto netflix and just watched the original Toxic Avenger and I cant tell if I liked it or thought it was freakin retarded..

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 11:07 PM) So finally have had some time to play FFXIII. The game play starts off slow, but the graphics and storyline are pretty good. About 5-6 hours in the game play really starts to pick up. Its unlike other FF games in that you are only in control of 1 player, but you have the ability to change the roles of all characters instantly. I personally am enjoying it. Im at the final boss at about 52 hours of gameplay.. it was kicking my ass so I stopped playing and am just waiting till I get around to going and boosting so I will be strong enough to actually beat it.. and then of course there is all the side quests to do as well so all in all I thought it was a great game and I really enjoyed it.. only having to be responsible for one person while the AI takes care of the other party members makes it a little easier in battle..
