QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Apr 11, 2010 -> 03:26 PM) Well, you gotta do what your coach tells you in that situation. Yes but the body language of Hardy when he saw AJ with the ball was what was funny to me..

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 11, 2010 -> 03:25 PM) If it wasn't for a dumb error by the 3rd base coach we'd see men on 2nd and 3rd with 2 outs. Not a good choice to keep Thornton in the pen for that at bat. Meh, ide be willing to guarantee if Jenks throws the hammer Thome K's

Im still laughing at JJ hardy The ball was at the cutoff man pretty much as he rounded third, that was hilarious..

lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooo what the f*** was that

I guess im the only one glad Thome is batting here

IN YOUR FACE GREG!!!!!

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 11, 2010 -> 03:04 PM) I think we all loved him last season. The biggest criticism about him on the site was his bad base running. There was no denying that something clicked for him last year. With that said, we didn't want a 3 yr extension given to him. I know no one wanted to extend him and his baserunning was frustrating, but ide hardly say that "we all loved him"

YES A HUGE AT BAT IN THIS GAME AND I WANT MARK KOTSAY IN THERE!!!!!!!!!

haha most people around here didnt even like Podsednik on this team LAST season when he was one of our better hitters

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 11, 2010 -> 02:33 PM) Because we've seen how this park can get into the team's head and how their approach degrades when they come home, the last couple years. If only there were someone who could coach them in the proper approach to take in this situation..

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 11, 2010 -> 02:26 PM) This is the only uniform we've ever won in this year. I swear I heard DJ or Farmer say they wore the white pin stripes when Gavin pitched the other night.. but yeah, everything ive seen so far has been this black top, im sick of it..

Maybe we need to change the uniform up a little, I swear we wear the black top more than anything it seems like.. wear the white with pin stripes!!!

How the hell does he get hit so much

QUOTE (scenario @ Apr 11, 2010 -> 12:55 PM) Hey... if you're sick of the WhiteSox, there's lots of room on the Royals bandwagon. I'm sure they'd be happy to have you. I think my favorite thing about this is how we were down 2-0 before we even batted and everyone threw in the towel and said game over, then we tie it and everyone is all cheers and what not, now were down 2 again and everybody hates everyone on this team and the seasons over..

lmao where are all you people who were crying before we even batted??????????

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Apr 11, 2010 -> 12:20 PM) I got $1000 to anybody's $100 that it's a 3 up 3 down bottom of the 1st. Any takers? loser

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 11:38 PM) I agree with the bold. That's the only asset he brings to any team. Not a punchless .300 average. His speed needs to be fully utilized. Don't waste Beckham's bat trying to get him into scoring position, as Ozzie chose to do the other night. Oh I agree, he should have had him stealing instead of throwing away Beckhams AB..

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..
