Alexei will either hit a ball really hard here, or strike out.

[4/9 Twinkies vs Sox - 7:05pm cdt WCIU]

OK....do you consider June to be "When it warms up?"

 

We had 2 guys hit over .284 for the month of June.

 

May?

 

2 guys over .289 for the month.

 

 

Face it, the offense that KW and Ozzie have built, is pathetic.

 

Not sure what you can't understand, you can look at the stats in April for Sox hitters, its almost always pathetic.

Even in 2008 when we won the division (albeit, barely)

 

There's middleground here. Yes the offense isn't a top-5 or even top-10 offense in the MLB, but they aren't going to finish with bottom-5 or bottom-10 numbers when the season ends, you can put that on the board. Enough with the hyperbole, my god it's annoying

[4/9 Twinkies vs Sox - 7:05pm cdt WCIU]

Yeah, we like to lean on that excuse for the offense every year. "Its cold, they'll get better."

 

Yet, ask the guys last year how much better it got after April.

 

I believe we were tied for 1st on July 23rd?

Nice game chat, gotta go tear down more wallpaper at my new house, this game ended like we all pretty much figured it would

 

Peace

[4/9 Twinkies vs Sox - 7:05pm cdt WCIU]

I'm standing by my previous statement

 

When it warms up a bit, I think the offense will come around. The season is 162 games, not 30.

 

 

[4/9 Twinkies vs Sox - 7:05pm cdt WCIU]

So, let's just say that there's a lot of reasons to think that deal could be done today if we wanted.

 

I agree a deal could be done right this very moment, if we included Beckham.

 

 

[4/9 Twinkies vs Sox - 7:05pm cdt WCIU]

If KW was willing to do that 4 for 1 swap, it would be done by now.

 

Says you, not San Diego

 

TCQQQQQQ

 

Can Teahen lay down a bunt? If not, he'll get the Sean Tracy treatment! lol

[4/9 Twinkies vs Sox - 7:05pm cdt WCIU]

Like a potential #2 starter, a power-hitting catcher, a toolsy CF with great D for a mammoth park, and the Cuban Babe Ruth? The Padres are going to ask for a lot, not the world

 

They'll ask for the world if they're smart, which they are. If you seriously think Hudson is the dealbreaker, you don't know KW very well, sheesh

 

Value your prospects, dont overvalue them

[4/9 Twinkies vs Sox - 7:05pm cdt WCIU]

Back to back EI games, this does wonders for a teams bullpen.

[4/9 Twinkies vs Sox - 7:05pm cdt WCIU]

Gotta pitch to someone.

 

Struck him out! I still wouldn't have rolled the dice there though, too many flash backs of Thomas & Crede in their first AB against us...

[4/9 Twinkies vs Sox - 7:05pm cdt WCIU]

Just walk Thome, what the f*** are you doing Ozzie? Bonehead.

[4/9 Twinkies vs Sox - 7:05pm cdt WCIU]

More like:

KW: A-gon?

SD: Only if you finally put Hudson into the Danks, Flowers, Viciedo deal.

KW: Fine

 

lol, not to detract from the gamethread and this will be my last post on the topic but there's no way in hell SD deals A-Gon for Hudson, Danks2, Flowers and Viciedo. Not.A.Chance.

 

you have to consider what other teams have and are willing to give up for a cheap guy with the talent like Adrian Gonzalez

[4/9 Twinkies vs Sox - 7:05pm cdt WCIU]

We can't hit to opposite field. There lies your problem. AJ has a nice approach to pitches away, fortunately. Wish we had someone in scoring position though

[4/9 Twinkies vs Sox - 7:05pm cdt WCIU]

Well, maybe this horses*** offense will force Kenny into calling up San Diego a little earlier than usual and can start working on this A-Gon deal.

 

KW: A-gon?

SD: Beckham + Floyd

KW: Let me go ask Soxtalk.

[4/9 Twinkies vs Sox - 7:05pm cdt WCIU]

TCQ pops up a pitch on the outside because he was trying to pull it, that's what happens, pop ups and grounders

[4/9 Twinkies vs Sox - 7:05pm cdt WCIU]

Matt Thornton has magical pixie dust in his glove. Matt the Magic Man Thornton, screw you Paulie Malignaggi

[4/9 Twinkies vs Sox - 7:05pm cdt WCIU]

LOL

"Hudson, start swinging NOW."

 

Classic.

[4/9 Twinkies vs Sox - 7:05pm cdt WCIU]

If the offense doesn't start taking the load off the bullpen here soon, we could be in trouble well before the all-star break, forget about the playoffs if our guys are burned up

[4/9 Twinkies vs Sox - 7:05pm cdt WCIU]

?

 

The check swing that was clearly a strike to Morneau, called a ball

The check swings to Beckham and Rios that were borderline at best, both called strikes emphatically

The out at 2B to Beckham when he was safe

 

These are the types of games you see when Phil Cuzzi is on the diamond somewhere, I know this. I KEEP TRACK

[4/9 Twinkies vs Sox - 7:05pm cdt WCIU]

Have you ever seen such a 1-sided affair with regards to the umpiring crew, for one team and against another?

 

I swear to god any Ump Crew that has Phil Cuzzi on it is almost a guaranteed screw-job to the Sox

[4/9 Twinkies vs Sox - 7:05pm cdt WCIU]

Keep giving those outs away.

 

we didn't give any away in this inning though

[4/9 Twinkies vs Sox - 7:05pm cdt WCIU]

2-down!

 

Pierre gonna start getting the Wise treatment here soon

[4/9 Twinkies vs Sox - 7:05pm cdt WCIU]

wanna bet AJ first pitch swinging?

 

ugh, stop posting, back to back posts where you were dead wrong, haha

[4/9 Twinkies vs Sox - 7:05pm cdt WCIU]

Uh oh, you guys may get mad. A bunt coming???

bunting a guy to 3rd with 1 out is something i'm definitely not opposed to, but i hate bunting a basestealer to 2nd base, i don't care if a lefty is pitching, let him steal

[4/9 Twinkies vs Sox - 7:05pm cdt WCIU]

he's got a funky motion we wont do crap against him
