GAME THREAD 5-16-06 SOX vs RAYS

Real quick...I didn't post in the other thread, but if Ozzie could get Hunter to play CF, I'd do it in a second.

Rowand ~ Hunter

They replaced Rowand with Anderson, and Rowand was a huge fan favorite & organizational favorite. Doesn't that speak wonders for what the organization think of Anderson? Why would they replace him mid-season?

 

Also, Ozzie wouldn't make the trade, Kenny would :P

The Astros just totally threw at Bonds. 3 straight pitches way up inside.

We only need one good defensive fielder per side of the field? What are you talking about? Brian Anderson gets ridiculous jumps, and he didn't make that play look difficult at all. Don't make Torii Hunter this year's Ken Griffey already.

 

He's not this year's Griffey Jr., as I don't think the Twins would trade him to us. Hunter is still a better defender than Anderson, and he's a much better hitter.

My only disappointment in that is Bonds was not nailed in his steroid enlarged head 3 times.

This is the second time in less than a week that the Sox have looked BAD in the field. Think I'll go watch the 2005 DVD's...

I know our team is good and everything, but we have some serious gaping holes that need to be addressed. This bullpen is horses***.

I've always thought the Rowand trade was more of a sign of what the organization thought of his long-term potential (or lack of).

He's having a solid night too. 2 singles, 3 times on.

 

I think it's funny when ESPN guys say he is hurting the team. Yes getting on every other time to the dish is bringing them down...

our defense has sucked the past couple days

Hunter is extremely overrated with the bat. Look at the numbers. He's a decent power source (mid-20's for HR), but past that, he's nothing special.

Can we pull this team off the field? Please remove PK and Dye before they get hurt.

Good NBA game going on. 4 point game with 6 min left in the 3rd.

Get out, the best defensive Center Fielder is better than another center fielder?

We've looked like we're playing the A's in some of the last few games.

Yea, we definitely need to empty the bench.

 

Nothing good can come out of this besides the demotion of Logan.

Give'em a good showing. Way to go team! .... Tonight's loss is like going home with the fat girl.

Crede has more errors than Uribe? Wow.

 

Oh, by the way, Cocoa Krispies are the s***.

I hope that KW has the plane ready for Boone Logan. See you when you can throw strikes and cover first base.

I was just saying that in response to people trying to tell me how great Anderson is in the outfield. He's been better than any of us expected so far defensively, but it's not like we're comparing him to Rowand now.

That leaves just one reliever with an ERA under 5 right?

Seriously, he needs to talk to Politte and Buehrle about that. They ALWAYs get to 1st base.

Bobby and Neal. Sorry. Only Neal. Bobby's at 5.06

 

And add Cliff and our main three are throwing well. Bmac has been solid for the most part. It's the other 2 spots that suck.

Yes. Why are Logan and Montero collecting major league checks? Absolutely ridiculous.

Jenks is 5.06. Politte has been better lately. I am not convinced it will last. His history suggests a tough season.

First of all considering what we would have to give up and what he would cost to re-sign I wouldn't want him. Thats even if they would trade him to us.

 

Second, he has great defense and a DECENT bat, nothing special at all. His GG defense is what we'll be paying for.

 

I don't think it would be a good move at all.

Boone Logan can tell everyone how cool the show is in AA.

If there are there any teams in the MLB that are:

 

A.) Really, really bad

 

B.) Deep in the bullpen

 

C.) Really, really bad.

 

then KW needs to talk to them. Soon.
