Happy Birthday Herbert.

Have a good one Jim.

It's pretty simple. Carlton did not want to slight anyone. Fans are fans and here were his choices: A ) Chicago: Great fans, owner treated him like s*** recently B ) Boston: Great fans, owner did not treat him like s*** recently Hmm, which would you choose?

Damn I could sure go for some Joe Randa about now.

At least last year Crede would hit random homeruns off a pitcher that was dominating our lineup. This year he's swinging a 3 iron.

Joe Borchard is really the definition of a ball-in-the-dirt swinger. No reason to ever throw him a hittable fastball really.

It's frustrating when the team collectively struggles like this but firing Walker would be like rearranging deck chairs. Except we are in first place so that doesn't really work either. Man I just miss having Ross Gload in the lineup.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 26, 2005 -> 11:14 PM) You really think Timo is better than those guys? Remember, all these bench guys have a particular role. Timo has been absolutely brutal in his role this season. Fans of their respective teams would no doubt take Timo over those guys. If you really look hard enough, almost every team has a Timo.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 26, 2005 -> 11:13 PM) I agree with you. Borchard also gives you the switch hitting ability, which might make the opposing team bring in a new reliever, etc. It's a nice idea maybe in concept but there's no reason Joe B. should be in the Majors now or anywhere in the near future.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ May 26, 2005 -> 11:06 PM) Greg Dobbs, Eric Valent, Eric Bruntlett, Bobby Higginson, Mark DeRosa....Timo Perez can be arguably better than all of those clowns. Wilson Valdez, Jose Hernandez, Calvin Pickering, Roger Cedeno

I just love when we start talking about Greg Walker. Especially because we get a chance day in and day out to hear what he is telling the hitters. This gives us a chance to give him the feedback he needs to start giving better hitting tips than "Pull the ball son". Let's see the offense hit alot of homeruns last year and Greg Walker was here along with some players. This year alot of the players changed but Greg Walker is still here so I believe he is at fault. Fundamental attribution error that is repeated every time we lose a game.

I forgot who said it but I'd like to repeat that "OMIT TIMO" would be an awesome poster.

Timo, Dead, and Crede are on a top secret mission. I can't reveal the details but don't forget 1919.

I'd have to watch again to see if Count shook a sign off. I just got the impression that he was just thinking "Told ya" to whoever called it. And yeah, I'm not mad either. Not at Contreras. Lackey was very hittable tonight and we let him off the hook big time.

Now I'm not usually in to second guessing, but it looks really bad when your manager goes out to the mound and a go-ahead homerun is promptly served up. Ozzie appeared to be cursing more than normal in the dugout after that one. I only hope if he did call it, he will let A.J. call the pitches from now on. If A.J. called it, then he made a mistake.

Timo is our last hope. Wait no, we don't have any hope.

Dye needs to miss the plane to Texas. He obviously loves hitting in Anaheim.

QUOTE(thomsonmi @ May 26, 2005 -> 10:27 PM) Cotts takes a lot of heat on this board for a guy with a 3.38 ERA. ERA doesn't tell the whole story with most relievers.

QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ May 26, 2005 -> 10:23 PM) Is Shield going to finish it off too? Well Dye and Crede can finish themselves off. That leaves one out for Shields to get.

If I'm Shields, I pitch around Carl to face Dead.

Whoa that was one freaky chick.

I wonder who called that pitch. Not like Jose to throw a first pitch fastball to a lefty like that.

QUOTE(qwerty @ May 26, 2005 -> 10:01 PM) The one with the big tits is ugly. The one next to her is much better looking. I'll take the face on the right and the tits on the left.

Cotts has no business in a game like this. Hopefully he's just gettin some work in.

Pods was safe. Wasn't even that close.
