Frankensteiner Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 fathom mentioned Jim Thome not being a winning baseball player. Which of these guys are actually winning baseball players? They all swing for the fences all the time. Now, they're Ok at it so they'll score some runs but I don't think they're very good at situational baseball.

Brian Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Greg Walker's seat has to be getting hotter. It seems none of the hitters are up there with a plan except to try and go yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 02:34 AM) lets at least wait until we're out of first place for these. first place is kind of the point. EDIT: and jon garland is his usual not so great self still. For the one millionth time, I don't give a s*** how Garland does. It's all about what type of package we could have received for him. As of now, it's been a massive flop. Terrible offense and terrible defense from a one year rental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OC i think will heat up some offensively...but you are right, i was expecting much more defensively.....i think most sox fans got spoiled with uribe out there...for as bad as juan is offensively...he was truly a great defensive shortstop edit: to finish taht thought....uribes worst year on defense was way better than this year by OC...how OC won a GG and not uribe or john macdonald i dunno...especially if this is how OC was last year Edited April 30, 2008 by daa84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanne Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 07:32 PM) As my sig says, it's frustrating to think we traded our 3 best prospects and Jon Garland for this mess. ok.... would it help now to have them all back? and while we're at it...let's give CQ back.

frankie5angels Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Just got home. I see another stellar offensive night by the WhiteSox. How Greg Walker has a job is baffling to me. This team's offense is pitiful, and the sad thing is our starting pitching has been solid, but these guys have to go out and pitch a shutout every f***ing night. Something has to be done to wake this team up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
