Y2HH

I know you may all be suprised by this, but that means Wikipedia is wrong! They have Craig Wilson listed as opening day starter at 3B! And I'm not sure why I thought Herbert Perry was our 3B then...but I did.

QUOTE (JDsDirtySox @ Apr 8, 2008 -> 07:42 AM) I'll go with Craig Wilson It was Craig Wilson. I simply guessed...and guessed wrong.

The Milkman Herbert Perry

QUOTE (YASNY @ Apr 8, 2008 -> 06:56 AM) These games are very big wins for the Sox. These are our division opponents and every W we put up is an L on their record. Agreed.

"Suck...my...balls, Mr. Garrison."

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Apr 8, 2008 -> 06:37 AM) Even Mike Ditka got fired..... And how well has THAT decision worked out for the Bears? Not saying it would matter either way, but it clearly didn't help them, either.

I don't think Crede or AJ will continue having the seasons they're having, either, but that doesn't change the fact that they're helping us win the EARLY games, which more often than not come back to bite the teams in the ass that lost them in the end when things come down to the wire. See Cleveland in 05, had they not started off so poorly waiting for their younger guys to "come around" we may have lost the division to them that year. We all know what happened at the end of that season, instead. And while Cleveland may not have had much of a choice, since they didn't have the veterans, WE DO have the choice... And I love this thread, even if it's early, we're racking up some all important early wins and Joe "Washed Up" Crede is a BIG FAT HUGE PART OF IT! There is nothing worse than getting hot at the end of the season and losing the division/wildcard by 1 game...simply because you lost a few games early in the season that could have/should have been won.

Nobody else that I can remember helped bring a championsihp here, so as far as I'm concerned, Ozzie can do whatever the hell he wants.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 7, 2008 -> 05:31 PM) Joe is 6 for his last nine at bats I'm SO glad every team passed on Joe as damaged goods. I hope the Sox get him at a huge discount now that Joe may feel "slighted" by the rest of the league for wanting to trade bags of used baseballs for him. Meanwhile...TRADE FIELDS FOR PITCHING!

Just thought I'd add, that through the celebration, all of you Trade Crede/Josh Fields homos can eat it.

Linebrink looks damn good.

QUOTE(ChiSox_Sonix @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 02:29 PM) Uribe's defense > Jeter's defense Uribe's arm >>>>> Jeter's arm I just compared them without failing. Jeter is possibly the most overrated defensive player of the past 20 years. You also failed. I'm the teacher, and I just failed you. This isn't some modern loser school for boys, you don't get to grade your own papers.

QUOTE(lostfan @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 02:24 PM) Derek Jeter also has multiple Gold Gloves and he is nowhere near as good as either of them. You even trying to compare Uribe to Jeter in *any* way = FAIL.

QUOTE(lostfan @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 02:24 PM) Derek Jeter also has multiple Gold Gloves and he is nowhere near as good as either of them. I'll disagree with you there. I think Jeter is a hell of a player.

QUOTE(lostfan @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 02:20 PM) I was trying to dance around saying that in the "glass half empty" thread but I didn't want to get flamed by Uribe haters (of which I happen to be one). As good of a player he is and as much of a major upgrade he is overall, he is still a downgrade defensively. OC won the gold glove at SS last year. Uribe did not. And although it's not totally defensive based...Uribe's arm is what makes him good on Defense, not his actual defense...except for 05.

QUOTE(Linnwood @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 02:16 PM) Dotel warming up. Why is Ozzie using Dotel *SO* much, considering he's coming off injury plagued years? Good idea to overuse him early so his arm falls off by May 1st.

Why does Polancos helmet always look too small for his big fat head? It looks like someone has to jam it on, and it's under so much pressure it might pop off. :/

Someone explain what happened please...

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 01:46 PM) f***ing-a. More RISP failure. Not happy with the AB's by AJ and CQ there. I'm kind of oblivoius to RISP now, I'm so used to seeing it from the Sox in my lifetime that I don't notice it anymore. :|

QUOTE(peanut33tillman @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 01:20 PM) I know it, it seems as of Ozzie still hangs on to the '05 and even the '06 Jose rather than the Jose of late...he just doesnt have it anymore I'm not sure about that. Whatever Contreras is missing in terms of confidence, he needs to @#$!#@ find it. I saw him in a few ST games and he looks great, good velocity, good stuff...he just need to believe in himself again.

AJ and Dye are carring our offense. WTF has the world come too?!

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 01:17 PM) Kenny Williams. I can pitch this game...I mean, hell, I couldn't do any worse.

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 01:16 PM) Hes going against Robertson. That's the one I meant.

Contreras vs Bonderman in a "I suck the most, no, *I* suck the most!" cage match.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Apr 1, 2008 -> 12:20 PM) The umpire doesn't have to judge that the play (throwing to first for a dp) would have been successful. The act of starting to throw is part of the play, even though the play probably wouldn't have worked out, and Cabrera interfered with that. Done, apply the penalty. (It was Peralta, btw -- I think I made that mistake earlier.) I'm done. Even Ozzie has said that it was a good call. It was, it's done, and it's time to worry about the next game and bogus AF trade reports. Let me nip this arguement in the bud and simply say, from the Hawk school of thought, where I have my proud to be biased PHD in Soxdom, you -- good sir -- are a closet Cubs fan.
