QUOTE(fathom @ May 31, 2006 -> 04:59 PM) Yep....thank God we don't need any production from the bottom of the order. Or...yeah...the middle of it.

Man, thank God we're scoring so many runs... Wait, what?

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 31, 2006 -> 04:55 PM) you know FG will be good when he gets super sweaty before games. See, that means Garcia had a good warmup, which means he won't have a terrible first inning, so it actually makes sense.

Come on Paul, wake back up. Ugh.

I breathe a sigh of relief every time we retire that donkey-man.

Get him on, leave him there, get his glove.

1-2-3 go the tribe on 12 pitches from Freddo. He's through the first inning unscathed.

25 pitch first inning for Westbrook.

Konerko hitting .240 in May now.

Since when am I a "Minor League instructor?"

Thome beats out an infield hit. I heart hustle.

Yankees and Tigers on a rain delay

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 31, 2006 -> 03:55 PM) We could always just shift guys around, both Thome and Konerko can play 3B and Pauly could also play catcher, so instead of having to sit Thome or Konerko we could always bench one of Crede or Pierz instead. Also if you can play 3B, you can play LF so why not stick one of Thome, Crede or Kong out in LF, shift Pods to CF and bam no problem. C: Pierz 1B: Konerko 2B: Iguchi SS: Uribe 3B: Thome LF: Crede CF: Pods RF: Dye Awesome. We could also put Dye at SS and Call up Fields to play RF.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ May 31, 2006 -> 03:46 PM) I don't think he's needed, but he's actually been halfway productive the last couple of seasons, and is hitting .308 this year with a .374 obp, a .547 slugging pct. which means his ops will pencil out to an excellent .921, plus he is better than average defensively and hits from both sides of the plate. In Arlington.

I get your point...but there's a difference between "Just fine" and what Anderson is doing right now.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ May 31, 2006 -> 02:42 PM) Mr. Wile E. Coyote, Genius ™ would like to order a black hole, a pole vault stick, and a couple of bricks for Congress. Oh, and don't forget the birdseed. Why? Is someone getting married? Throwing that stuff at the end instead of rice? But I didn't think there were any women left in the Senate. Oh wait...so that explains that amendment...

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ May 31, 2006 -> 02:04 PM) interesting that gooch is taking a seat tonight. wonder if that foot's still bothering him. He was ice cold yesterday too. Some time off probably would do him good.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ May 31, 2006 -> 01:49 PM) Doesn't Nevin have a no trade clause? He was supposed to go to Cincinatti a few years ago for Griffey but invoked it I believe. If he doesn't want to play in Cincinatti, maybe he wants no part of the urinal. He had to waive his no trade clause to go to Texas from S.D. Do those things come back?

Well here we go, as requested, my first game thread of the season...last time out, I won in ST. Freddo...this is a surprisingly big game. We can't give Cleveland the chance to take 3/4 against us...and with JC on the mound tomorrow, a win today gives us a great chance at winning the series. Time to take out the trash! The lineup: Pods, LF; Cintron, 2B; Thome, DH; PK, 1B; Dye, RF; AJ, C; Crede, 3B; Mack, CF; Uribe, SS; Garcia, RHP.

QUOTE(JenksForPrez45 @ May 31, 2006 -> 01:35 PM) If this has been posted in another topic im sorry, but i dont feel like searching 4 hours to find what im looking for. Not much has been talked about with Owens or Sweeney to come play CF for the Sox and I was wondering why. Owens looked really well in ST from what I saw and his baserunning ability is great. I knew he was in the final 2 in ST between him nd Brian for the last OF spot. I would really like to see him up here soon. Also, Sweeney is hitting 300 and would be interesting to see if he could fill the hitting role that we have been waiting for Anderson to fill. He may be a not so great fielder, but i havent seen enough of him. Any feedback would be great from you guys. Sweeney has also been on the DL recently. He's played very little CF, and had even less time because of that DL trip. Owens is hitting what, .230 at AAA right now? He also should basically never play CF, he'll be quite bad there defensively.

So, if I don't want a wall, would the proper thing be to mail them one of those Acme portable holes?

Pitching to Pujols here = insanity.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ May 31, 2006 -> 01:16 PM) If Crede isn't voted in by the fans, you know the entire thing is flawed. But who cares? Ozzie will put every single one of them on the team anyways! I keep saying this...the manager has Far less control over the roster than he used to...most of the backups are now chosen by the players.

QUOTE(Melissa1334 @ May 31, 2006 -> 01:13 PM) wow, who would vote for uribe and why? World Series Game 4, bottom of the 9th inning is worth a few votes.
