QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Apr 20, 2011 -> 02:52 PM) Ozzie finally got the middle part of the order right. Yayyyy Ozzie

Pierre, Beckham, Quentin, Konerko, Dunn, Rios, AJP, Alexei, Teahen.

I'm going to grace Humber with my avatar spot; after receiving such a blessing, he has no choice but to pitch a no hitter on this most glorious of days.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 20, 2011 -> 11:30 AM) Just chopped my other foot off. I am now feetless. God Damnit Soxtalk

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 07:17 PM) Notice he didn't waste anytime going to Walden when it was clear (been clear for years) that Rodney sucks. We still don't know who the hell are closer is. I really think Santos will take the job when he finally gets a chance to do it -__-

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 07:08 PM) Agreed. He's one guy you would always want over what you currently have in the managers chair, but he's going nowhere unfortunately. I like what Maddon does with his team. I see Tampa with a lot of variants in their line-up that usually work. He really knows how to use his bench and where to position the players.

QUOTE (SoxPride56 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 06:43 PM) I really like that. It makes sense.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 06:42 PM) A great manager gets you a few extra wins a year. Not the 20-30 a lot of people think. But a bad one gives you an awesome scapegoat.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 06:37 PM) That's fair. But I think it's safe to say that Gordon's star has fallen considerably since he was deemed the next great 2B pre-2010. It's not like he's 21 or 22. He's 25, I think. Or almost. 25 in September, this is the year he kind of has to show up.

QUOTE (SoxPride56 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 06:36 PM) Agreed. J4L's detached foot would be a better lead off option than Pierre at this point.

QUOTE (C_LEE45 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 06:36 PM) i hated to see GIO get traded that will be the kick in the balls. Twice -__-

QUOTE (SoxPride56 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 06:35 PM) Teahen leading off? Is a helluvalot better than Pierre doing it.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 06:33 PM) KW has been worse than Ozzie over the last 3+ years. Worse with a much more important job..

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 06:33 PM) never. A week ago Beckham was hitting .333 with an OPS over .900. Have to agree here. I'm not ready to give up on Beckham yet.

QUOTE (C_LEE45 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 06:31 PM) just think of the people that call ozzie a moron,but there is nobody on this board that know a fraction of what that man knows about baseball like him or not he still is a good manager the same manager that won in 2005 when everybody was all over his hog,,,,,,hey why dont we talk about KW dont he have some blame ? KW has received some good hate for kind of dicking us in the trade/farm/money/resource departments.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 06:28 PM) And I am tired of the expectations of winning the world series every year I'm tired of our GM telling us that his expectations are to win the World Series every year and then having a s***ty baseball team.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 06:27 PM) To be fair the order has been in place officially for less than 3 weeks. But thank god he realized his lineup is s***. I would also like to see less of Gordon in the 2 hole. Can't disagree with that. I'd also like to see less Pierre in the leadoff spot if the f***er can't even use his only asset to steal goddamn base.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 06:21 PM) So he's responsible for every mistake a player makes during the game? I'd say that the manager and the coaching staff are responsible when all of the players continually make bad plays in a lot of games. Pierre has had the dropsies. Morel was supposed to be some defensive whiz and he's enduring a case of teahenitis, Alexei hasn't been as good this year and now Rios is starting to be a prick out there.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 06:17 PM) So if you adjust that, the players haven't performed well at anything. Hard to put that on the manager and a few bunts. The players we have aren't very good right now and it's about time to realize that they are at fault. Losses make a manager look bad and wins make you forget they even exist. I blame the manager for the team failing at fundamentals. Even today, Rios took a bad route and dropped a sure out that turned into a double, Konerko got picked off, Gordon f***ed up a double play. This team's defense has been lacking all season and it's really simple things that should be stressed.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 06:15 PM) I just chopped my foot off. lmfao

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 06:05 PM) Don't know Knack's posting tendencies real well. But the probability of him being serious is about 1.9%. He's hitting .333/.385/.583!! How could this be sarcasm fueled by Rios rage?

QUOTE (forrestg @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 05:50 PM) Rios is slumping while lillibridge could make adifference. We need a spark in our lineup. This man has the right idea.

QUOTE (C_LEE45 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 06:00 PM) 162 games lets just wait and see It's so much more satisfying to b**** and moan. I paid 100$ for the mlb.tv season and that's a lot of money for me . I have the right to b**** when these f***ers suck.

QUOTE (C_LEE45 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 05:57 PM) calm down this is a good team we are just in a funk we will figure it out and get back on track......DONT STOP BELIEVING No f*** that I don't believe

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 05:53 PM) I'm sure that bunting will pay off sometime this year...we're about 0-9 with it so far. That's almost 1-9, gotta look at the bright side.
