Serious question: Who was the last hitter to get an opposite field hit? I wanna say Thome, which is laughable, but I think that's the right answer.

That was the 7 pitch inning I was looking for.

That's pretty awesome by Buehrle right there.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ May 2, 2008 -> 06:59 PM) I really wish we had Brain Roberts right now. If he were playing for the Sox, Brian Roberts would be hitting .198 and trying to hit solo HRs every at bat. It wouldn't be that great.

Ok, Greg Walker has to seriously be fired during this series, right? Kenny won't stand for this 2 years in a row...

Holy Jesus. we got a hit.

I am saying 7.

Whoa. Sox actually went down 1-2-3 that inning. I mean, no really. What are the odds?

QUOTE (daa84 @ May 2, 2008 -> 06:37 PM) yeah, i actually like cooper....theres absolutely no reason why greg walker should have a job if we are still doing this on O by the allstar break All-Star Break!?! All-start break!!!??? Dude should have been fired yesterday. If we're still doing this by the All-Star break Walker might as well keep his job because we'll be long out of it by then.

BTW, Crede's already down to .255. How about that 5/$75M contract right now? Pretty much every player is at their career norm or horribly below their norm. You can look at it as a good thing, sure, but I'd like to know how Greg Walker has a job.

I think that's basically game right there. I don't see this team scoring 3 runs off Marcum today.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 01:20 PM) At least Logan didn't let it get worse than 4-3 Yeah, it's still a game.

I know AJ needs his days off but c'mon. Need him in there with Konerko out. Offense has been bad and your pitcher is questionable. This is as close to giving up on the game as you can get. Really wish we had Owens up here instead of Anderson.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 09:04 PM) Of course I'm concerned about him, but he's going to be with this organization for a long time. ???? Well if you are concerned about his effectiveness, I would think that would curb some of your excitement over having him on the ball club long-term.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 08:42 PM) I would include Fields in that, and Swisher's locked up for so long, I consider those 5 and Jenks as the future of this team. Weren't you just saying how we should be concerned over Jenks yesterday? You wanna get your stories straight.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 08:51 PM) technically we carried had a 2 game winning streak coming into this game..and even though we lost it seems like people on here are acting like we were on a 5 game losing streak Yesterday's debacle felt like a loss. Tomorrow's game I am tempted to pencil in as a loss w/ Massett v. a guy who came pretty close to shutting us down when we resembled a decent hitting team. He should have a field day tomorrow.

The Sox do one of 4 things: i) Get runners on base and fail to score ii) Fail to score iii) Score off HRs iv) Score off other team's errors I am amazed how this team can hit this poorly. We hit poorly last season, and yeah had a lot of crappy players too, but plenty of regulars (Konerko, Dye, AJ) had s***ty seasons. When is Greg Walker going to be held accountable for this shameful, selfish, piss-poor hitting approach? It's happening year after year. Other than Carlos Quentin through his 1/6th of a season, can you guys think of another player who has come here and actually hit better than in his previous destinations? The only other I can think of is Dye in 2006.

There's our first solo homer of the day. Let's get another and call it a day.

QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 08:57 PM) Do you let Floyd start the 7th with 99 pitches? Might as well. Save the bullpen for tomorrow. I seriously doubt we even score a run tonight.

How can you walk Young. Jesus is that stupid.

This ump has given Bonser a bigger zone than Gavin. That's BS.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 08:35 PM) I think AJ is a winning baseball player. I saw two really s***ty ABs with RISP yesterday.

fathom mentioned Jim Thome not being a winning baseball player. Which of these guys are actually winning baseball players? They all swing for the fences all the time. Now, they're Ok at it so they'll score some runs but I don't think they're very good at situational baseball.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 08:30 PM) I'm gonna assume a lot of you use the theory of reverse psychology..... Lots of game left...... Yeah, this team's been just amazing lately scoring runs.

QUOTE (Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 08:27 PM) Fearless prediction: Sox only get two more hits the rest of the night. I'm sure they'll be solo homers just to make it seem like we made it respectable.
