QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ May 3, 2005 -> 08:57 AM) Who was shocked? The next article will be that Ozzie called Doug Padilla a mexican or that Ozzie sexually harasses the female reporters. I hate Kotex boy.

Neyer is a royals fan anyways. What do you expect. He is probably upset that he bought all those believe shirts and Limatime posters 2 years ago. He has to crap on other.

Why does it shock everyone that a race baiter like Mitchell puts this crap in the times. I mean don't they have Jesse Jackson doing "political commentary". If you want to know where Jackson is on an issue, follow the cameras.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ May 2, 2005 -> 11:10 PM) You're being way to generous to Mariotti there, I'd say one punch knockout. Actually I was hoping for the forearm shiver to knock him down, a few minutes of ground and pound to work him over, and then Hawk slips in the rear naked choke. A one punch knockout puts him out too quick.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ May 2, 2005 -> 11:04 PM) Man, I really wish that would happen. Then we could get DJ to give his home run call when Hawk gives Kotex boy a forarm shiver. UH OHHHH UH OOOHHHH Hawk defeats Kotex boy by tapout, Rear naked choke

QUOTE(rudylaw @ May 2, 2005 -> 10:58 PM) That no talent assclown was just making s*** up in the end there. "He says things about woman reporters in Chicago". Shut the F**K UP JAY! You are a grade A turdburgler. I hope to God he does something really stupid soon so his ass gets fired. But I must say that I do love the national spotlight on OTL. First place b****es!!!!!!!!!!! I figure that Hawk and/or Ozzie will address this tomorrow. You know that this isnt going to be left alone. Round 3. Big Dan McCarthy calls Hawk and Kotex boy to the middle of the ring, Are you ready, Are you ready. LETS GET IT ON!!!

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 2, 2005 -> 10:43 PM) Someone needs to make a Kotex Boy pic. MS paint and google makes nice avatars.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ May 2, 2005 -> 10:42 PM) You had me worried for a second there. Someone needs to make a Kotex Boy pic.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ May 2, 2005 -> 10:28 PM) it's a dick move because she's not a public figure. Say whatever you want about him but you should leave the daughter out of it. Thats ok. Never said I wasnt a dick.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ May 2, 2005 -> 10:25 PM) don't talk about his family, that's not right. Never said it was right. Its my comment.

QUOTE(BobDylan @ May 2, 2005 -> 10:20 PM) Is this Mariotti an assclown or what? What a goddamn hypocrite. Wasn't it his yap that got him booted off the radio? Where does HE, of all people, get off telling ANYONE to calm down. Unlike what he said, if I were Kenny Williams I'd call Ozzie into my office and tell him to speak his mind whenever he damn well pleased. You don't take away your managers greatest tool just because there is a little more focus on your team. That's absurd. Janus Mariotti is absurd. Just imagine how fugly Kotex boy's daughter is going to be. First of all some girl/man/assclown allowed that man to get on them and give him 10 seconds of his very best. Now he produced a woman, I wonder if she has the same forhead that the has.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ May 2, 2005 -> 10:16 PM) And Mariotti finds a way to bring up the Cubs. What a f***ing moron. I dropped the suntimes because I couldnt bear to open up the paper last year and see this clowns articles. I am shocked absolutely shocked that he didnt use the term Ballmall or blizzard of Oz. But I have to admit that he was true to form, when he is on that other ESPN show he is a bit tempered and plays like he is pro chicago. Now we all got to see the true turd on TV that we all know and Hate.

I am sure that KW and Jerry are going to take your comments to heart Kotex boy. BTW congrats on the radio job at ESPN. Oh wait, you got fired.

Kotex boy is talking about how Ozzie has a potty mouth. Oops he swore, watch the female reporters. Kotex boy and this latin guy are a joke.

Please someone kick Kotex boy he is skipping. I am sick and tired of turning the tv on and see that fat pompus turd spouting off. Out of all the sports guys in chicago, why would ESPN put this guy on. Does he have naked photos of someone.

Their bullpen is now definately weaker.

I think they called up Scott Baker. Thank god Santana switched pee cups with Rincon

Star Tribune Dont know if this has been posted. If it has merge it or delete it.

Its nice to see Iguchi taking the outside pitch back up the middle or into right field. Greg Walker take video of what Mr. Iguchi is doing and give it out to the rest of our hitters are we will be fine. Last year it was pretty much automatic that any plus 6 ERA soft tosser who could spot the ball on the outside corner could look like Cy Young. Why is this, because instead of taking what is given to us our hitters consistantly tried to make something of the slow outside pitch and pull it for power. This results in what we term as CORPSEBALL. Iguchi is the opposite of this. He actually takes the outside pitch and doesnt try to do to much. Mr. Konerko take a few tips on this and you will GIDP a hell of a lot less and pick up some more RBI's. Gooch you rock man. Give it up to KW for picking this guy up, and doing it cheap. My hats off for that and for picking up our new closer Hermy. Our pitching is outstanding again. Yes the cuban connection will have us living on the edge but if they bend and dont break for the most part we will be ok. Ozzie may want to split these two up so we dont tax the pen too much back to back. SOX PRIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(chi-guy2 @ Apr 29, 2005 -> 10:50 PM) ive got an idea for our hitting: 1. dont always take the first pitch, because its always good 2. steal more often, that alway helps 3. resort to the method involving a needle and or cream Dont dip your back shoulder trying to get "elevation" on every single pitch. Mr. Crede dont try to pull the outside slow pitch. You are not that f***ing strong to hit that out of the park in the cold. Mr. Konerko put your hands down, why are they at your melon. Mr. Dye see Mr. Konerko. When did you start to place your hands near your melon. Harris you are not a power hitter, repeat you cannot hit a home run, dont try when we need contact in the 9th. Pods you cannot get on base to steal bases if you constantly pop up. For gods sake slap the ball and run like hell.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 29, 2005 -> 10:42 PM) Yes, we can become an elite team. However, we're going to need PK to hit 40 homers this season, and for Dye to put up an OPS over .750. If we can continue to get starts from our pitching that puts us in a good position to win, then we have a great chance to become elite. Basically, I think it boils down to whether or not our hitting picks up, or our pitching slumps. To be an elite team we have to play for the situation. Not for the personal numbers. I still say that last year the Carlos Lee that hit doubles like a fiend in the first half where he brought his BA up from 220 to over 300 in a few months was much more dangerous than Carlos Thump and Jog at the end of the year who struck out with the bases loaded trying to hit the dramatic grand slam over the simple base hit we need. The minute we see the level swing with more than 2 of our hitters we will be on track. Hopefully our pitching doesnt start to feel the urge to press and throw "shutouts" every single time. That is where the team could go on a big bender.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Apr 29, 2005 -> 10:38 PM) I was disappointed we couldn't get it done at home with bases loaded and nobody out in the ninth. We had to put it away there. And then we have a couple more innings with the last at bat in a tie game before the Tabs score a run. I guess that's baseball, but out ineptitude at the plate cost us a home game against one of our division foes. I'm not down on the team, but it sucks that right after a big win streak we've dropped 3 in a row. Hope we don't make it four. The swing of the bat should be level through the hitting zone. That is what will cure the slump. When instead of a majestic arc we see a laser going out in the field. When you start seeing lasers hit for outs or lasers making it into outfield instead of majestic long fly balls to the warning track or INSERT CORPSEBALL PLAYER HERE slamming their bat into the ground in disgust that they "just" missed one. Smartball is where I expect the hitter to make contact and drive in the runner and not to try to do more with it. That is why Minny has won year after year. In that same situation they give themselves up to get that runner over. They do everything they can to get that runner in. We try and end it dramatically. Remember because SPORTSCENTER IS NEXT.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Apr 29, 2005 -> 10:37 PM) I think NL offense CAN win in the Al as evidenced by Anaheim and Minnesota to a lesser extent. That said, we are sort of playing a bastardized version of NL ball No we are still trying to play the AL thump and jog offense. We just dont have the cast of characters this year to do it.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Apr 29, 2005 -> 10:31 PM) After this season, move the f***ing fence back Don't do that, but I sure wish everybody would swing like Iggy. I still remember when our last hitting coach was fired. He said he tried over and over to preach hitting the ball with a level swing. But the allure of big money was too powerful and the home run swing was the quick ticket to more money.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 29, 2005 -> 10:19 PM) I'm most concerned about a lack of hitting the ball hard. Of our last 6 games, we have about 5 hard hit balls. Thats because we have stopped hitting with level swings. Last year Greg Walker and Carlos Lee changed his swing mid season to turn him into a power hitter. He started hitting for power, but fell in love with it. He stopped any attempt as situational hitting. It was all or nothing. The only thing that kept his BA afloat was his talent. Now we have Konerko changing his swing. Now his hands are high up and he is golfing his swing. Dye is swinging the same way. The hands are high. I hear Greg Walker saying the right things. But the product on the field over the last couple of hitting instructors is the same thing. Everyone pulls the baseball and trys to hit homeruns in the wrong situation. And its everyone, from the scrawniest weakest player to our thumpers. This happens every single time a soft tosser comes up, we become a softball team. Trying to hit it as hard as we can. Arow has a nice short swing. Iguchi has a nice short swing. That is pretty much about it for the lineup. Pods is trying to get lift. After this season, move the f***ing fence back. The "home run park" is creating a monster. Every hitter gets up to the plate and looks the same way. They look down the line and think why not me. Do you know why they dont do this with better pitchers. Because they are thinking of making contact on those guys. They dont worry about how far to hit it, but to make contact.
