QUOTE(aboz56 @ May 31, 2006 -> 05:08 PM) So yea, we suck right now. good times

another RISP with less than 2 outs...

that double looked down and in to Michaels - not a bad pitch. time to click right here

Pods got it up to over .300 there for a spell. damnit.

Indian's announcer just called Hafner "Thome". wishful thinking or old habit?

I got a feeling Westbrook's gonna get shelled tonight. Once through the lineup and he's getting behind a lot.

I love Crede's approach. He got a good pitch to drive to that gap in right and he drilled it.

anybody see sizemore stick his tongue out at Buehrle after he hit him yesterday? It was more to say like, "I'll take it, thanks." He didn't try to get out of the way, that's for sure.

kitties are catching a break - no jeter, sheffield or damon tonight.

interesting that gooch is taking a seat tonight. wonder if that foot's still bothering him. you're right - it's an important game - a win insures at least a split. don't pitch to hafner, freddo.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ May 31, 2006 -> 12:33 PM) I believe KW listed BA as one of his untouchables too. this is true

my wind sock just changed directions. Again. with the second best record in all of baseball, why the hell does he need to go anywhere right now? He's contributing too much defense to lose him. Come on Brian, pull your head out of your ass and hit .240 and all will be forgotten.

I fear Gio is a Pedro in the making. I used to be thrilled by that idea. Now it haunts me. Gotta give to get, they say.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 31, 2006 -> 08:10 AM) Then we should let him bat everyday. if he cant work it out at the major league level, then he never will. I have confidence in him, and I would rather risk a liability in the lineup than have one in CF. how long do you stick with him and allow him to hit under .200?

I found a link to all the other fan forums around the league and my hat is off to you guys, this site is awesome, particularly when you compare it to so many others. well done

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ May 28, 2006 -> 06:18 PM) Some of the pitches Anderson swings at make me want to puke. I used to say the same thing about Crede and Rowand. They both hit at AAA but struggled. That's why I think Ozzie would settle for better at bats rather than just hits. He knows that if BA gets some good at bats then the hits will follow. With great guys/hitters like Konerko and Thome, I hope Brian is smart enough to pick their brains every chance he gets. I wonder if that's happening...

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ May 31, 2006 -> 08:28 AM) If this team were to stop beating itself, it might never lose. It's defnitely the biggest difference I notice between this team and last years. But it's also something that can be remedied and most likely will be. The walk to Pods to lead off with Martinez behind the plate was a gift. I doubt seriously that it was a hit and run situation. You want Pods at second so you can sacrifice him to third.

QUOTE(PeoriaSoxFan @ May 30, 2006 -> 06:58 PM) I still say the Iguchi pop out bunt was big in the third. I also don't know why he goes up and swings at the first pitch. Easy for me to say though. He's having blow fish tonight at Cleveland's hottest sushi joint.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 30, 2006 -> 06:55 PM) You have him bat for Ozuna. Mackowiak would have still been on the bench, so you don't have to worry about that. Of course....this was another example of why Gload is absolutely worthless on this team. it is pretty ridiculous to keep him and never use him

lots of blame to go around, but cintron not letting Pods steal second and then moving him to third is just incredibly stupid.

oh well

six pitches one swing.

WTF?????????? WHY WOULDN'T PODS BE STEALING AGAINST MARTINEZ????

Wickman can be had
