QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Apr 9, 2009 -> 08:08 AM) One of the best things about Stoney is he makes Hawk a little more listenable now... Yeah Hawk definitely needs a strong counter to his homerism and whining. DJ, who is otherwise a decent announcer, wasn't that guy.

QUOTE (LZPride08 @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 11:47 PM) We cant really blame it on the GOP anymore, because the fact that Obama feels the need not only continue The Bush Administration's policy, but expand it, looks like we're getting 4 more years of Bush's foreign policy a - you just kind of jumped to a conclusion based off what Reddy titled this thread b - this is domestic, not foreign policy (actually, Bush tried to use foreign policy to justify domestic policy which is fail) c - even if it was foreign policy, not every decision Obama makes has to be necessarily different than one Bush made (don't tell the netroots this though)

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 11:35 PM) That's what I thought tonight as well. Does anybody know for sure? He looked farther off the plate to me. Man, Zack really plunked him with that pitch on the shoulder. Ouch. looked like he thought about charging the mound for a second.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 11:32 PM) Sorry I don't know the answer to this yet. Did the fans boo Wise a lot again tonight? Has it been really loud booing? They booed when he popped out on a bunt attempt, it wasn't unbearably loud, but it was noticeable. They cheered, I guess sarcastically, when he made a play in CF.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 10:17 PM) "Almost" only counts with horseshoes and hand grenades, my friend. Well, first he struck out in 4 pitches instead of 4, then he hit a groundout that the 2B actually had to make a play on and nearly resembled a hit. Next on the list is to reach base on an error, then an infield single. Baby steps.

s***, Getz raped that ball, but right into Aviles's glove.

Wise almost got something done there.

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 10:12 PM) So far, our bullpen looks AWESOME. Hopefully Joe Morgan keeps his jinxing opinions to himself this time.

Holy f***, already?

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 09:51 PM) why?? hes had 7 horrendous at bats I've been one of the biggest Wise bashers on this board for months, but it's not his fault he sucks so horribly, he didn't ask to be put in this position.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 09:42 PM) Stone, it'd be a great time for Wise to forget he f***ing blows. Well, 3 pitches so far and he hasn't struck out yet... baby steps

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 09:39 PM) Hawk with the family oriented telecast. Though nothing beats that playoff game where Scottie Pippen was announcing and after a bigtime shot he exclaimed "LUOL DENG HAS SOME BIG BALLS" Needless to say, no more Scottie on the air.

QUOTE (WCSox @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 09:26 PM) I noticed that, too. I don't know if he had any chance at it, but it looked like he got a really bad read. Yeah he usually gets good reads, it's just that he can't run to where he reads anymore.

QUOTE (WCSox @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 09:26 PM) Yeah, and I remember Hawk going apes*** when that happened to one of our guys last year. I'd be disappointed if there was no retaliation tonight. I remember the umps toss Haeger against the Yankees for hitting a guy with a knuckleball a couple years ago. That was so lame. A knuckleball. lol. Watch the f*** out, might get a blistering 65 mph bruise

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 09:24 PM) a decent RF catches that ball btw, Dye is so f***ing slow, unreal Yeah I just posted that, he didn't move more than a couple of feet, it's not like that ball wasn't in the air for a few seconds.

Was it just me or did it seem like Jermaine didn't move at all on that single?

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 09:15 PM) We saw it all last year, if you throw fastballs to this team, throw them off the plate, and keep your breaking pitches over for strikes Yeah don't pretty much all hitters struggle when pitchers do that though?

Quentin looked like he wanted to give a couple of words to Grienke there.

Yes!

Cmon Gavin, let's do this

Fields flashing the leather and the arm

QUOTE (WCSox @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 08:58 PM) My point is that they're booing Wise for being in Chicago, rather than Charlotte. It's not Wise's fault that he's currently in over his head. They should be booing Kenny instead. Yeah but it's not like they can just wait for KW's next at-bat.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 08:58 PM) I'm prolly one of the few hoping against hope that Wise doesn' suck but damn I don't want him to suck. The problem is that he does and always will. Nothing I or he can do about it.

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 08:56 PM) Do you think he can handle the pressure of leading off the next inning? I'm afraid he might having seizures and/or projectile vomit

QUOTE (WCSox @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 08:54 PM) So how much longer before Quentin gets booed? It's not like he's played any better. Let's see Wise narrowly miss an MVP, then we'll talk
