Lillibridge just put to bed. He had a big day! about 13 hours ago from txt

This is actually a brilliant plan. Walk Thome and Konerko and have the other players beat you.

Just give Poreda a f***ing chance, already. How many more games are we going to go with Carrasco, Richard, etc. until we try? Even if he fails miserably, atleast we know. We already know what we have in the guys currently on the roster.

It looks like the Babe Ruth home run trot there from Thome.

QUOTE (knightni @ May 12, 2009 -> 06:45 PM) You never know... Yeah, that would be a problem. Although the chat crew would prolong my memory and continue the fight. Until they too are banned, then it would basically be over.

QUOTE (Reddy @ May 12, 2009 -> 06:42 PM) yeah, frankly. http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=452121 Question answered. Now quit embarrassing yourself with this weak defense of Lillibridge.

QUOTE (Reddy @ May 12, 2009 -> 06:42 PM) if any one of us were in his shoes, would you walk up to Ozzie and ask to be demoted? Hell f***ing no. Cut the kid some slack. .......no. Get used to my insults, because I'm not going anywhere! ahahahwhwahahah

QUOTE (Reddy @ May 12, 2009 -> 06:40 PM) i don't really get why this is... how is any of this his fault per se? Does there have to be a legitimate, quantifiable reason to dislike someone? Well, first he's atrocious, second he's likely in the lineup more for Williams' ego than anything else, and third, he looks like a child. Someone needs to kidnap him from the playground with candy. He should take some HGH, too.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 12, 2009 -> 06:35 PM) I said it last night. By no fault of his own, he's the most unlikeable Sox player in ages...maybe since Jaime Navarro. I don't know how all Sox fans collectively regard Lillibridge, but he's on a fast track in my mind to surpass the hatred I held for Koch.

Can someone make a signature of that heroic sequence? I want it to have today's date, a picture of Lillibridge swinging his bat, a background of the Hall of Fame, and a special note that says "10 pitch AB." At the bottom there should be a note that the ball traveled over 200 ft.

I believe we've found our season highlight for Lillibridge. No matter how this AB ends, it will forever be associated with him for the rest of his career.

How low was that first pitch strike against Miller? Jesus. Be consistent ump.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 12, 2009 -> 06:15 PM) Makes sense to me. Everyone who could stand in the way of Lillibridge getting playing time has been injured or benched for no reason. Well, if it makes sense to you that's all thats important.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 12, 2009 -> 06:11 PM) Whatever voodoo he's working to not only still be in the majors, but actually starting regularly. I was talking more about Fathom's signature. He can't say that Lillibridge has made all those players bad, since Dye isn't doing poorly Explain your madness Fathom.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 12, 2009 -> 03:53 PM) Nix, SS Getz, 2B Dye, RF Thome, DH Konerko, 1B Fields, 3B Miller, C Podsednik, LF Lillibridge, CF This is a disgusting line-up. 3 out of 9 don't have career avg. above .200. I almost expect the offense to score 10 runs and for Richard to hold Cleveland scoreless just because it opposes every feeling within me that says this, if a statistical measure were created to estimate our chance of winning a ballgame (percentage wise) before a game, this would be the lowest in years.

I believe it's time for another Paul Konerko led vote of confidence for Walker. One was already given, but we have to make pace with last season.

Hahaha at Dead's fielding. I'm going to look forward to him turn doubles into triples all summer. Even though that play was a misread with the sun, I'm not going to act as if he's a great fielder. He has no make up speed and needs perfect reads on every ball hit around him.

Looks like I'm the only one doing their part to shamelessly bump this thread. Even though the turnout two games ago was good, so I'll give you people a pass. Oh, and get in there. YO

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 11, 2009 -> 06:55 AM) Supposedly, Jenks' point was not to hit him, just a pitch to say hello and the Sox had enough of getting hit. That's what they're saying, but it's not the truth. This is point I was making in my previous post of people believing lies that, to me, seem so blatantly obvious. Just think about it -- they thought about sending a message to the Rangers that they're tired of being targets, so instead of hitting one of their batters, which is really the best way of conveying that message, they throw behind him? If such a belief was held true by the ballclub that you can miss the play and still send the same message, then why did Guillen yell at Sean Tracey a few years ago when he couldn't hit the opposing batters ? Guillen should have been happy the message was sent, yet no baserunners were aboard, right?

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 10, 2009 -> 11:34 PM) MY GOD WHERE'S ROW44 IS HE OK??? [/small concern] Yeah, he's probably dead. /no concern

Why does it seem like when our pitchers try to intentionally hit someone they always miss? I know it happened a few times last season. In my mind, throwing behind the runner looks more intentional then if he had actually hit him. Jenks would have just played it off as an pitch that slipped. Good pitchers like Jenks just dont miss two feet off the plate, behind the batter, on accident. If there is a program out there capable of tracking all of Jenks pitches as a major leaguer, I'd guess he has maybe thrown a pitch that far off the plate once or twice. And the other instances would probably be in scenarios he also tried to hit the batter and missed. Also, I always hate the argument that people use of, "well, why would he hit him in (insert situation) because (insert scenario in which runners on would be terrible)." That's EXACTLY the right moment to him someone, when you shouldn't do it. The entire point of Kinsler representing the tying run gave them plausible deniability. I really dont know how people, like Hawk for example, couldn't see through it. It reminds me of an excuse I used when I was younger, when I'd say "why would I do (act of mischief) because (scenario in which doing act would be terrible)" and people would buy it.
