Check the OBP for this team.  And look where it ranks in the AL, we are not a patient team.

 

We are a bung of swing monkeys.  The minute a pitch is remotely near the plate we are hacking.

 

No working the count, no taking a walk.

I understand that but damn don't you think after being in a rut and not really improving that they would some how adjust? It's depressing for gods sake.

ALright, I just shaved. We got this one.

its working

Certainly not over any of those guys?  Lawton is just as good as Pods offensively, and especially when Dye is struggling, he'd be a perfect back-up.  Why can't Lawton be a DH?  Is there some rule saying he has to play the field?

 

Lawton is one of those guys who flies under the radar. His OBP is 1.00 higher than his BA at times.

I'd take him in a second.

He honestly would have been the perfect, logical fit for this team.

Apparently not. Damn, this is frustrating.

You don't trade for a Lawton to be a backup. And thats what he woulda been. You cant put him on the starting lineup of a team that has the best record in baseball.

Nice job, Carl. No, we don't need jr.

The way these guys swing at pitches in the dirt we should give em golf clubs instead of baseball bats.

 

 

:rolly

Come on, stop swing for the damn fences!!

If Carl took every pitch in that squence, he would of been on 1st.

I know, I know, if it got to 2-0, he would of thrown a strike.

Nice job, Carl. No, we don't need jr.

Where would he play

You put him as the rover, with the idea in mind that Pods would be going on the DL. You can't put him in the starting lineup? Just cause we had the best record, it doesn't mean the offense is set. Sorry, I'll take Lawton, you can have Timo.

yeah that's it swing at one at your eyes.

Still timo haters and yet him and konerko have been the only ones not slumping lately.

Look where AJ's head is during that swing! Walker, not trying to put heat on you, but can't you see it?

But we didn't have a clue that Pods would be on the DL at that point. There was no reason to think so. Or that these guys would all slump at once. It's a slump. THis happens to every team at least once a year.

Popped up. Great work all right. single to lead off and strand him nice.

If we get the tying run to the plate in the 9th, and Konerko does NOT PH. I'll be pissed. He needs to be a leader if that situation arises.

I think the Timo hates are more pissed because of what Timo stands for right now: the Sox organization doing nothing to improve their offense. Timo shouldn't be leading off, no doubt about that. Might as well have Rowand try leading off. This lineup is going nowhere! It's fine, now we can hear how it's our first 6 game losing streak, and how remarkable that is.

We make every reliever look like a healthy Erig Gagne, and Mariano River will always be Mariano Rivera.

 

It amazes me that these guys can't adjust on there own....

Pods hurt himself before the ASB, and not for one second do I believe he really needed to go on the DL right now. We put him on the DL with the plan we could coast to the playoffs, and have him rested. Thus, we had to know 2 weeks ago we were placing him on the DL. Let me just say, I admire your optimism.

With Timos brilliant hitting he has raised his August average to .192. with a .276OBP. Thats f***ing stellar.

It's impossible for Timo to be struggling if he gets 2 hits in a blue moon.

2 runs in the last 26 innings. f*** you Kenny Williams. Got off your ass.
