April 23, 200521 yr Anyone know how many he has? It seems like every time I turn on the Sox game, Uribe hits a sac fly... All I have to say is - I'll take it...
April 23, 200521 yr I've said it before. If uribe can do anything with that swing of his, its hit sac flys. With the way he drops down to his knees to swing, he can get it into the outfield everytime. If i need a sac fly, i want juan up.
April 23, 200521 yr Wait a minute. The guy has 3 hits tonight and we're talkin' about sac flies? The groin gets 3 SBs, everyone's on their frickin' knees. Uribe gets 3 hits, and we're talkin' about sac flies? Dudes, hits are better than sac flies. Uribe's da man! Edited April 23, 200521 yr by ISF

Uribe's da man! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I admire Uribe's performance but Podsednik's 2 singles, 3 BB's, and 3 SB's is more impressive in my book. That's something we haven't had in a long time -- a true leadoff hitter.
April 23, 200521 yr QUOTE(ISF @ Apr 22, 2005 -> 10:46 PM) The groin I'm sorry but that is the DUMBEST nickname I have ever seen. EDIT: As for Juan and his sac flies, it seems when he has a job to do he makes sure just to make contact and not over swing. A lot of times in regular situations he pulls off the ball cause he's swinging so hard, he stays on the pitch much longer when he has a job to do. Edited April 23, 200521 yr by Rowand44

I will be using it until I feel like calling him Pud again. Of course the groin's game was more impressive. But that's what it is....one game. As for Uribe, my point wasn't about comparing him to the groin. My point was that the guy had 3 hits and people are talking about sac flies. That's like the groin getting his 3 SBs and people discussing his fine character in the clubhouse.

So he deserves a hokey nickname over a minor injury that costs him 5 games, when he hasn't been hurt at all in his career? Where is the correlations there?
April 23, 200521 yr He is my official whipping boy, because I don't think we should have traded Lee. He will be my whipping boy until I'm convinced he isn't a .240 hitting version of Willie Harris. If he has a good year, I'll tip my hat and give him his due.
April 23, 200521 yr Haven't you been listening to DJ? He only tells us every at-bat that Uribe's the best 9 hole hitter in the league! God I hate DJ

If he has a good year, I'll tip my hat and give him his due. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If you haven't already seen that he's clearly better than Willie Harris (plate approach and ability to steal bases) ... look closer. It's pretty obvious. I think Carlos Lee is a major talent and I wasn't thrilled losing him either, but that's no reason to trash Podsednik, or Vizcaino for that matter. But, to each their own.

Oh, I agree he's better than Willie. I've already said so. But that's hardly an accomplishment. And I am not trashing Pud (he's having another nice game, so I'll upgrade him from "the groin"). Call me cynical. Kenny Lofton has ruined me on quick starting leadoff men. I like Vizcaino, not his fault Ozzie is still learning how to use a bullpen.
April 24, 200521 yr I see Uribe is back over .300 now. And I want to point this out to Anthrax, just because of the whole reason for not liking the Uribe deal. HOME - .174/.185/.348 AWAY - .346/.367/.462 So much for that theory even though it is still early. Even more reason to believe Uribe could still improve on his numbers looking at those stats.
