Big Hurtin

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Apr 30, 2010 -> 10:02 PM) So why is Pierre playing? What happened to his benching? Ozzie's a blowhard.

the great gazoo plays for the Yankees?

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Apr 30, 2010 -> 07:46 PM) Kay will not stop b****ing about Lucy being out of the base line. Did you hear that woman reporter they have? She said that Ozzie told her that they won't be as good a team as they can be without Pierre leading off. He said that he could be back to leading off as soon as tomorrow.

QUOTE (LVSoxFan @ Apr 30, 2010 -> 11:44 AM) Yeah the more I think about this Dye-as-DH thing, the more I'm starting to like it. Thoughts? He doesn't bat left-handed, so Kotsay would still get too many ABs. He'd be taking ABs away from Jones/Quentin. Pass.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 24, 2010 -> 06:31 PM) why do f***ing idiots do that, reach out and grab balls. It's a stupid f***ing baseball. You answered your own question. It's because they're idiots.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 22, 2010 -> 10:33 PM) Wow, another blowout. I wonder who the fall guy is going to be? Lee Majors

QUOTE (gordonventura38 @ Apr 22, 2010 -> 02:47 PM) First post here, hopefully no bad karma, but then again it can't get much worse than it has been lately. But switch-up in the lineup today, according to Mark Gonzalez twitter. Pierre lf Vizquel 2b Jones cf Konerko dh AJ c Quentin rf Kotsay 1b Teahen 3b Ramirez ss Peavy p

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 21, 2010 -> 05:37 PM) Ladies and Gentleman, I give you...Carlos Wood. Wow, you're really excited about this.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Apr 19, 2010 -> 08:36 PM) Wondering how AP was a "blown pick" when he was the main point of a trade for Peavy That's the exception, IMO. The rest of his list looks pretty crappy considering where they were picked.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 19, 2010 -> 08:56 AM) Let's compare with White Sox blown draft picks 1999---Jason Stumm, 1st round/15th pick, $1,750,00 1999---Matt Ginter, 1st round/22nd pick, $1,275,000 1999---Danny Wright, 2nd round/64th pick 2000---Joe Borchard, 1st round/12th pick, $5,300,000 2001---Kris Honel, 1st round/16th pick, $1,780,000 2002---Royce Ring, 1st round/18th pick 2003---Brian Anderson, 1st round/15th pick, $1,650,000 2004---Josh Fields, 1st round/18th pick, $1,550,000 2005---Lance Broadway, 1st round/15th pick, $1,570,000 2006---Kyle McCulloch, 1st round, 29th pick, $1,050,000 2007---Aaron Poreda, 1st round, 25th pick, $1,200,000 That list is depressing. You can't really complain about not having high enough draft picks when you completely blow the ones you do get.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 19, 2010 -> 03:42 PM) It just goes to show that even teams with really good lineups can slump. I think they might be worse than us on offense right now. And I'm in no way making the comparison, I just said that to make myself feel better. The Red Sox lineup isn't "really good" anymore. With Ramirez gone and Ortiz not what he was, their lineup has regressed considerably. I'd take there's over the White Sox without hesitation though.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 19, 2010 -> 02:47 PM) I don't know why nobody has done anything yet. Lincecum or Cain should take him to town the next time he pitches against San Fran. Nah, you don't want either of them suspended. Someone needs to beat the s*** out of him, though.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 18, 2010 -> 08:11 PM) Hopefully some people take this advice from ESPN... What does wave the red flag mean? I know what the white flag means; do they mean that?

Take your daughters to see the Sox. At least they won't get puked on here.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 17, 2010 -> 06:22 PM) I hate when announcers start stating how amazing our bullpen is.

What happened? Gameday's stuck.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Apr 17, 2010 -> 01:40 PM) Jim Thome with another HR. That was CRUSHED, dead center.

QUOTE (BFirebird @ Apr 16, 2010 -> 04:02 PM) So much for Oz saying Jones will play every day. Maybe he meant every DAY, and since this is a night game, it doesn't count.

Anybody else getting a pillar box image (gray bars on side) for Comcast Sportsnet? I'm watching on Directv 665, but it's also on MLBEI channel 727-1.

I'll see your pine tar Kenny Rogers, and raise you...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 12, 2010 -> 05:07 PM) Balta smiles as the ESPN announcer marvels at the "450 million year old" age of the MN limestone used to make a large wall in LF. Carl Everett says BS.

QUOTE (Ken Harrelson @ Apr 12, 2010 -> 12:34 AM) What do you think would happen? A lot of people seem to think it would be hard for TCQ to be DH. I think he would be just fine though, and it would probably improve our defense. They could move AJ to the outfield.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 12, 2010 -> 04:37 PM) these new home uni's are exactly like the old sox unis Are they new or throwbacks? They seem to have a yellow tint to them which is usually a tell-tale sign of throwback jerseys.

Wonder who's gonna start the Pods / Pierre stat tracker.

QUOTE (T R U @ Apr 11, 2010 -> 03:28 PM) I swear I heard DJ or Farmer say they wore the white pin stripes when Gavin pitched the other night.. but yeah, everything ive seen so far has been this black top, im sick of it.. They always wear them a lot in April.
