Gregory Pratt Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 QUOTE(fathom @ May 13, 2007 -> 01:37 PM) This is so freaking embarrassing. It's really a good thing we didn't keep Eduardo Perez on the roster. I have a feeling our winning ways lately have masked all these issues in the front office, and no chances are even being considered. It's fascinating though to see De La Rosa keep everything down, and Vazquez throwing everything up. What's masking the issue is optimism. "Oh, Crede's turned the corner last year." "Paulie won't party like it's 2003." "Dye isn't living in quicksand." People need to face reality. Holy s***, man, this offense is terrible and there are no more excuses. No more weather. No "tired," definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg The Bull Luzinski Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 [quote name='caulfield12' date='May 13, 2007 -> 01:36 PM' post='1420089' Good news for our pathetic offense. Toby Hall just went deep. In a few weeks, the top of the order that gives us the best chance to win could be Erstad/Ozuna Uribe Hall How sad.

No. I'm semi-serious, too. I'm not optimistic that Hall's going to come up and change everything or even anything. Not at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As good as Ozuna was the first half last year, he now has managed a .505 OPS. That's pretty hard to do, unless you're Cintron, Molina or Anderson.

Yeah, Ozuna looks awful. He was so good at the start of last year, but he's been horrible since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are looking at the backs of all the players baseball cards waiting for them to come out of it on their own. Any other team, and Greg Walker is looking for another job.

Erstad is worse than NL pitchers against LHP. AJP is the only guy who really should be in there, but we'd rather let Molina embarrass himself at the plate more.

With all of the slamming he has taken on message board, he shoul deither get a hit today or physically kick the pitcher's ass to get him out of the game. I see no other options.

It's like before the 4th inning of yesterday. Does it matter though....one run might be enough to beat us. I can't stand watching this f***ing offense. Think of it this way....you have two guys in Terrero and Molina who have no business being in the majors, a rookie in Sweeney who doesn't look comfortable vs LHP, two slumping power hitters in Konerko and Dye, two players in Crede/Iguchi who all they can do it hit pop ups to the right side, and a guy in Ozuna who has an OPS around .500 over the last 100 games or so. We need Uribe to hit two solo homers I guess. Edited May 13, 2007 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeney just was frozen on that curve. It happens. That's two called strikes in a row against Ryan. His splits were appreciably better against lefties than righties at Charlotte.
