QUOTE(knightni @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 10:32 PM) AJ batting 4th is retarted Ozzie. Reminds me of August 2005 when we had Rowand and AJ hitting third. Coincidentally thats when we went into the tank.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 10:31 PM) The Cubs need someone who can come into the game in the later innings and play the OF and actually catch the ball. Maybe even play against lefties and give Pie a break. The Sox could use a right handed batter who actually can hit. Murton can't field but he can hit and has nowhere to play for the Cubs. Anderson for Murton could be a good deal. I think Anderson will be the better player in a couple of years, but I have a hard time believing he's going to be very successful with the Sox. I would probably make that deal. The problem is it leaves us with one guy who can play center.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 10:27 PM) He made improvements last year which is what you want to see out of a young player. He needs to be playing SOMEWHERE everyday. Charlotte looks to be that place with Terrero up here. Completely agree. Although I would like to see Owens leading off for the Sox, but we know that won't happen so I'd bring Terrero up as a backup.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 10:25 PM) Give me a break. He had the same crap approach last year, too, and he had all of the first half and significant parts of the second half to make adjustments. It isn't playing time -- he's either uncoachable, suffering from bad coaching or simply an all-around mediocre baseball player. Ive always been and Anderson supporter and still think he should start over grinderstad. I have never thought he would be an all-star though.

Uribe has had some big hits this year.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 09:58 PM) Jerry Owens won't be a starter in the majors. At best, he's a 5th outfielder. I was told last week that Fields will be a 3B for the Sox during his career....I took that to mean Crede is gone after this year or next. I still think Owens is a better option than Erstad at this point. I think you underestimate him, I think he'll be a fourth outfielder with a chance to be a starter.

How long is the delay supposed to last?

channel listings http://chicago.comcastsportsnet.com/Illinois-Systems.asp For some reason next to DeKalb there is a *, yet it says the game is on channel 73. Wanted to go to the bar. QUOTE(kystevie @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 06:27 AM) I live in KY and obviously Comcast blacks-out all Sox games As a Sox fan for many years i'd like to know if there is any way out-of-market subscribers like myself would be able to purchase any other type of package that would allow me to actually see the games?? MLB extra innings or MLB.tv

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 12:43 PM) Owens is getting on base at a nice pace in AAA Yep, and his stolen base success rate has been good the past couple of years as well.

Right now I would rather have Jerry Owens leading off than Erstad and probably Pods as well.

I like LaPorta, but I would love to see Max Scherzer fall to us(if he goes back into the draft).

Borowski is a complete suckfest.

QUOTE(JohnCangelosi @ Apr 19, 2007 -> 11:39 AM) So here's the question- how LONG does the organization go with Erstad hitting like this before they make a move? I mean, Hawk (who is believes in everything KW and gang are doing) said last night he is SO HAPPY that GrindErstad is here with us, despite hitting .156 or whatever the sick average is. I wonder how long his free pass goes- my feeling is he can hit .200 or below until June 1 without them doing a thing, which is really scary... Who knows, he stuck with Pods in the leadoff role all of last year. He will lose at bats, but I still feel he will be the starting centerfielder most or all of the year. QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 19, 2007 -> 11:54 AM) I think that based on last year, they can only go so long with him hitting like Anderson before they give someone else a legit shot. It would help if B.A. could get some good at bats in the backup role they've given him, but so far that hasn't happened. But seriously, can they live with another CF hitting below the Mendoza line throughout April and May again? But Erstad is a grinder remember? Anderson isn't.

I hate to complain about something after last nights game, but this has to be brought up. At least Anderson was a defensive replacement last night, but there was no way in hell one of the best defensive centerfielders in baseball shouldn't be in center in the late innings.

QUOTE(DrunkBomber @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 11:07 AM) The only one I heard turned it down for sure was LT. Youd have to imagine a ton of other guys must of turned it down too though. I hope a lot of guys turned it down, becuase VY has no business being on the cover.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 06:34 PM) Are you SURE it's not April 1? From Rotoworld, spot-on reaction: There has never been any team more consistently stupid in setting up a bullpen. That is one of the dumbest managing moves of all time. Did anybody see Manuels press conference blow up?

Was at the game tonight! For about the last two innings I was literally shaking I was so nervous.

Tied 3-3 now, runners on 1st and 2nd with 2 outs. Gload almost hit into a double play to end it but barely beat it out.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 02:05 PM) There was a fight in the minors last year. I don't know if this is public knowledge but Kemp was heavily involved in it and did some stupid stuff. Yea, I remember that. Didn't even think about it.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 17, 2007 -> 09:53 PM) Owens is no better than Ozuna or Mackowiak or Anderson. A guy who projects to be a 4th OFer shouldn't be considered as an "offensive option". I wouldn't mind having Owens lead off right now. QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 01:52 PM) There's a story about Matt Kemp. Fathom's mentioned it, and someone knows. ?????

QUOTE(SuperSteve @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 01:35 PM) Anyone watching Tigers/Royals game? Tigers just scored on what coulda been a DP, Gordon threw it away, they had 1st and 2nd no outs, now 2nd and 3rd one out (Shef popped out). Damn, they were playing so well too. 1-0 Tigers bottom 6 Monroe 2 rbi single. 3-0 Tigers bottom 6. Damn it 3-0 now

I'm guessing that a bunch of players turned this down, becuase there is no way Young should be on the cover. Why would they choose a second year player who wasn't very good his rookie year?

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Apr 17, 2007 -> 04:49 PM) LOL at Wrigley being 98 percent empty during extran innings. I thought they were all die hard cubs fans? It's like that a lot during extras at Wrigley

Our hitting still sucks ass
