Tell that to Carlos Gomez.

ok, ill tell him and his .245 BA and .260 OBP. Nice example.

Monday they played for 6 hours in an extra-innings, rainy, 40* game. Friday was rained out and played on Saturday. I'm not sure what you're talking about.

My bad. Monday they palyed. I totally forgot about that.

So you want a guy who can't hit or run hitting 5th everyday? I don't. Bottom line, JD needs to go.

JD was off to a great start before he was injured. Lets see if he can come back from it before shipping him off to plug in a crappy hitter who can run really fast.

He's still better than your prime example of a speedster.

It's not only his bat that bothers me, it's also his pitiful speed in the outfield. He has to dive for plays that anyone else makes sprinting. Gomez was 3-4 2R, 1RBI and 1K today. JD 0-4 2K's (again). How many times can this guy go 0-4 with 2K's before Ozzie takes him out? He's killing the team.

He's been bad for a couple of days since coming back from an injury. He was hitting over .300 before that. Calm down, JD is not killing the team.

Yeah, I mean he must've been doing this all year because his overall stat line is just abysmal.

All is I'm saying is the last two losses fall squarely on JD's shoulders. If he's not 100%, he shouldn't be playing. And yes, he is awful.

Ok, sure. I don't recall any defensive errors on his part, and I recall plenty of other players blowing it with RISP.

walk morneau!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

too much talk of trades, lineup shuffles, AAA callups.....

 

simply put the Sox are just missing clutch hits.

 

when I think about the Sox with RISP, I think about Thome grounding out to the second baseman turned right fielder, PK dribbling one to SS, BA fouling out to the catcher, Dye whiffing, Uribe well forget it.

 

Today, the twinks bunted, sacrificed and got THAT ONE HIT necessary to pull out a one run game, we had Swisher take strike three with two on and two out in the 9th, Monday BA in a squeeze play bunt foul.

 

I don't know if there's a stat for opposite field hits, but I'd guess CHW are last in the bigs

I actually think Ramirez' visa problem is the perfect time to tweak things. Ozzie needs to move Thome down against lefties and occasionally sit him . I recommend Quentin batting 3rd against lefties and no lower then 6th against righties. Crede should also move up against lefties. Send Ramirez down and when you do sit Thome play Fields. Sometimes things need to be shaken up to let the players know failure is not acceptable even on a team full of veterans.

 

Rebuilding Twins only 1.5 behind the 'revamped' White Sox...Carlos Quentin has been a wonderful addition, but that's about it.

I HATE THE f***ING TWINS AND I HATE LOSING.

 

thanks, that feels good.

 

On to Canada...

LOL, I love when the Sox lose because it brings the crazies out of the caves.

For some real bad news, The Tigers have traded away Jason Grilli. I hate it when another teams arsonist leaves town.

I'm not of the "Sky if Falling Crowd"...I fully expect this team to heat up. It's a marathon and there will be some down times. I'd just like to see them put some wins together...what's that called?!?!...oh yeah...A STREAK!!!! Can't remember when the last 6-7 game streak was. Hell...I'd take 3 right now.

 

This little nugget I read made me sick:

 

That hit was the only success the Sox had with runners in scoring position, leaving them 1-for-8 for the afternoon and 5-for-45 in their last five games.

The perfect player for our bench was released by the Mariners today.... Greg Norton!

I think Cabrera will pick it up. He's got to- even Uribe will either K or at least fly out deep, which if there's a man on usually he advances. Cabrera goes down and takes whoever's on first with him with stunning regularity. That usually happens to be Swisher, and it's curious how the positive impact of one offseason acquisition is being completly shat on and erased by the inabilities of another. Having Swish and his OBP lead off with Alex Cintron hitting second is comparable to owning a Maserati and not being able to drive it because you're blind and don't have limbs. Swish/his OBP=Maserati, Orlando Cintron=crippling handicaps. I blame OCab is what I'm saying.

That's what we said last year. That's the problem. It's time for Swisher and Cabrera to do what Oz and everybody said they were doing the first couple weeks of the season, bringing the "new attitude." Talk is cheap.

this coming from the guy who said Nick Masset gave us nothing today

You think Masset going four innings and giving up five hits and three walks is SOMETHING?

Give me a f***ing break. Seriously, are you a relative of Masset? What's your problem?

 

If you said Thornton pitched well that might be different. Two innings, no hits, four strikeouts. Masset's line is a joke for a starting pitcher.

My problem is i have to read you b**** and moan about a spot starter who didnt have a hand in the team losing the game. I never said anyone pitched well or bad. YOU said Masset gave us nothing, which is completely untrue

Masset gave us four innings, but that's pretty much it.
