QUOTE(BearSox @ May 5, 2007 -> 06:29 PM) Im not making exsuses for him. If he wants to act like a baby, let him. I'm just saying the reasons for his struggles is that he is probably playing lazy, probably because he thought he played good enough last year to warrent a chance in the MLB. But I am not making excuses for him. Of course, I could say that you're pulling that straight out of your ass, but that'd just be assuming something with no proof, now wouldn't it?

I actually talked to the BHam press guy...he's conducting the interview....he still needs to sit down with them but he was looking over the questions tonight.

QUOTE(caulfield12 @ May 5, 2007 -> 07:21 AM) I think the best way to be competitive is to build around our pitching staff and move the fences back to their original dimensions or beyond...the only sluggers we'll still have on the team for next year would be Konerko and Thome, and Thome's contract expires after the 08 season. Let's be realistic...players like Sweeney and Anderson are gap hitters. If you take away the idea they have to hit 15-20 homers and just be "players" (which they would have to be in Tigers Stadium), then you might see some results instead of everyone (including Josh Fields) adopting the "lift and pull" approach. And who do you get to replace Guillen in mid-season? Bobby Valentine? Buck Showalter? Cito Gaston? Seriously, Jerry Manuel was given three full seasons before the knives came out, and he wasted a great team in the second half of 2003 that had the ability to win the World Series. This White Sox team is obviously not as good as the 03 team. I think Ozzie and KW would relish the challenge of rebuilding this team from essentially the ground up. They've delivered one World Series to Chicago...and everyone who watched intently in August and September knew this club was dead man walking. If anything, I would rather fire KW than Guillen, but neither one is going to happen...heck, I doubt they're even discussing a Walker firing at this point. KW does not do things to pacify the fans. I see him being stubborn and arguing until the end that Walker's methods are sound. They'd look at Razor Shines, that's for sure.

Sweeney kind of reminded me of Mackowiak at the plate.

With the way Ozzie uses his pen, I wouldn't mind keeping Boone around. Send down Terrero.

Broadway is on the DL. And Eggy is still the man.

QUOTE(BearSox @ May 5, 2007 -> 12:11 AM) It seems to me that Fields has lost motivation from not making the show, and has been quite lazy... Or you could be completely reading something into that without watching him play.

Oh God, there's gonna be some good ones with that Erstad picture...

DJ: "This is just terrible." Ding. Ding. Ding.

Superb.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 4, 2007 -> 10:42 PM) So if Contreras is traded at the deadline the Sox would save approximately $23,333,333. Which could directly be put into your new managerial contract....

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 4, 2007 -> 10:36 PM) If by "consider" you mean "jump on that s*** in a heartbeat" then yes I agree. If you can get a solid prospect or two for a 56 year old starting pitcher with declining stuff and ~$25M remaining on his deal, you do it. Especially considering this team is probably headed towards a rebuilding period. ^

holy christ we don't care anymore

nice pauly

Wow, that was horrific.

Nice Gooch. For the love of God, JD, you're allowed to get a hit here.

neat

right down the cock

Mack looks so crappy at the plate, fishing for everything.

OH MY GOD

Cintron flashing that leather.

That'll do. Home run swing, but at least he didn't miss it.

f***in wonderful Darin, Tad. Nothin like a tailor made triple play ball.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 4, 2007 -> 09:56 PM) Actually a good AB by Sweeney. And don't kid yourself about Anderson....he won't come up unless when Erstad is injured.
