QUOTE (iamshack @ May 21, 2012 -> 02:43 PM) Probably not the right thread for this, but did anyone catch Sveum's postgame conference yesterday? He said something to the effect of "We were getting it together for a week, and then this last week...we haven't won a game...and then we get swept by the White Sox at home...I mean how much lower can it get than that?" I found that to be mildly offensive, honestly. I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt that he was just referring to it being a rivalry and the team was disappointed to get swept by their cross-town mates...but it sure sounded as though he was saying we sucked to me... This

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 21, 2012 -> 10:44 AM) Plus, Johnson is another infielder. If you only have Lillibridge as your backup outfielder with Escobar, Johnson, and Hudson as bench guys you are just asking for trouble. You can throw Johnson in the corner outfield. Lillibridge handles himself well in the outfield anywhere. It's covered.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 21, 2012 -> 10:12 AM) Fukodome would probably be hitting .300 in Charlotte. Dan Johnson HAS NOT HIT OVER .200 IN THE MAJOR LEAGUES SINCE 2007. If you think he'll be better than Fukudome, you are kidding yourself. He can't be worse. At least he can hit it past the pitcher's mound.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...,0,916724.story It's rare I agree with Phil Rogers, but I have to agree with him about bringing up Johnson, and releasing Fukudome. Fukudome really isn't doing anything, he was a cheap gamble, but it's not working out. Escobar doesn't seem to be anything great either, but at least he plays infield ok, and can pinch run better than Fukudome.

Week ahead: T: Walters vs Floyd W: Diamond vs Sale R: Pavano (maybe) vs Humber F: Gomez vs Danks S: Lowe vs Peavy S: Jimenez vs Floyd Probably Moore vs Sale next Monday. And Shields vs Humber Tuesday. Further out, it looks like Felix Hernandez vs Danks on June 1. I wouldn't be sad to see the Sox flip Peavy and Danks. The schedule sets up to skip somebody on June 4 (the off day), and then the final week before the break could have Peavy pitch Sunday before the break instead of Danks. I'd rather have Peavy get another start and miss the All Star Game.

70-50 the rest of the way. Let's do this.

I would expect Morel to be on the DL, and Hudson on the roster on tuesday night.

I sucked at this. Got half. http://www.sporcle.com/games/HitandRun670/...stown-bigamists

QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ May 20, 2012 -> 10:22 AM) Is Hudson active today? He would have to sign a contract for that to happen.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 20, 2012 -> 06:27 AM) Am I the only one who's liked the way Gordon's looked at the plate the past few weeks? Besides not laying off some high fastballs, he has squared it up a little better.

Sox and Cubs are 22-22 against each other at Wrigley lifetime. They've swept the Sox twice, and the Sox have only swept them once at Wrigley. Let's add to that tomorrow.

AL takes an early 18-9 lead in interleague play.

Back to .500 tomorrow with 120 left? We can do this.

Nice win. And remember the troops.

Can these f***s root for the Cubs more openly?

QUOTE (Jake @ May 19, 2012 -> 07:50 PM) explain... He's a talker. Like, he never stops talking.

By the way, if you never heard Orlando Hudson speak, it's quite a thing. AJ will love him.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ May 19, 2012 -> 07:46 PM) On another note, Escobar looks horrible at the plate. I wouldn't mind if they traded out Escobar to AAA and Morel to the DL for Hudson and Johnson.

For the record, i don't have a problem with the military, I just don't need Fox to cram it down our throats while the game is going. Before the game, 7th inning stretch, fine, whatever. During the game, shut the f*** up Thom.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ May 19, 2012 -> 07:35 PM) Fox can we please stop the propaganda for all of the wars please? Ugh. I had to hit pause, and listen to Ed and DJ.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 19, 2012 -> 02:23 PM) De Aza cf, Beckham 2b, Dunn 1B, Viciedo LF, Pierzynski C, Rios RF, Ramirez ss, Escobar 3B, Danks P I have a good feeling about Danks tonight for some reason. This post was going to be beautiful after a no-hitter.

Slow clap

QUOTE (Jake @ May 19, 2012 -> 07:13 PM) No, that spot is reserved for McCarver He's the worst color guy. I hate everything about Thom Brennaman. Definitely the worst PBP Fox could put up.

If it hasn't been mentioned yet, Thom Brennaman is just the worst.
