QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 22, 2010 -> 08:23 PM) Time of the game we get 9 consecutive retired. Something along the line of 15 of his last 17 sounds right.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Apr 22, 2010 -> 08:20 PM) Yeah, 3-2 is insurmountable. People seriously need to get off the ledge before you get a hernia. Shields will settle in and their pen will end it. This is a contnuation of last season.

So when do we hear of some injury that will shut him down until mid May all I ahve seen from him is a scared pitcher out ther. AJ also really needs to sit more. When there was abackup that had no chance he was run out there yet Lucy looked servicable and he and Nix sit.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Apr 22, 2010 -> 07:48 PM) Never in a million years would I even consider this trade. Why Peavy is not showing me anything. At least Zambrano will take the ball every 5th day and give your team a chance. Peavy looks like he does not want to pitch. As goofy as Zambrano is he keeps his team in the game and has intensity which this team sorely lacks. Peavy had one nice start and nothing in the other 3. He is not even giving his team a chance to win.

Nice kill there

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 22, 2010 -> 07:45 PM) There was a good slider! Would you trade Linebrink and Peavy for Zambrano? I think Peavy is an injury risk where Zambrano is a headcase that I think could play for Guillen.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 22, 2010 -> 07:36 PM) Who would have ever guessed that Kotsay and Vizquel would have unproductive at bats against a pitcher who was struggling mightily? At some point KW needs to realize that if he gives guillen a certin type of player that should be used for a specific purpose, he will be overused. That L/R thing did not work in inning one as neither Omar or kotsay should be in there.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 22, 2010 -> 03:55 PM) I'll defend sitting Beckham for a game. Otherwise, no. I would to if he did not have monday off. Also we have the old day game after a night game Sunday.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 22, 2010 -> 02:32 PM) Why Hendry? He's played well. EDIT: Nevermind, you're the guy who thinks Sopel is playing well. I am not a fan of Sopel but he does what he is suppossed to do and is one of the few guys that is having a good series. He is averaging 17 minutes a game and has a 0 +/-. He also has the same amount of points as the Captain and more than the Norris trophy defensemen to say that he is not playing well is ignorant. Hendry plays neither special team..oh and Sopel leads in PK TOI but I guess that is not important...and plays 9 minutes to Sopel's 17. What exactly am I missing here? I also said Hjalmarsson is playing good. I guess the fact that he is +2 is just a mirage as well as I know nothing.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 22, 2010 -> 10:39 AM) Bickell/Burrish in, Fraser/Eager out... we're not losing much, but not gaining much either. Campbell in had better mean Sopel out... though I wish it meant Byfuglien back to offense. EDIT: actually if Campbell is back, I'd assume that would mean no Bickell tonight and Buff would go to offense. I think Campbell will replace hendry and move Buff to in front ofthe net on the PP.

The odd thing about this move is if it was for the good of the team Wells or Dempster would be moved to the pen. This is just odd to me.

I am on verge of not caring anymore about this team after looking at this lineup. I like moving Quentin down but anyone with any sort of sense can tell you AJ is unable to drive in runs yet there he is..... The L/R/L bulls*** strikes again. That lineup is embarassing. Guillen says two days ago that there is a LH lineup and RH line up yet we have yet to see a consistent lineup and nobody has been injured. What is also with the f***ing days off they were off Monday...

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 22, 2010 -> 01:08 PM) Kotsay also is slow as s*** on the bases. For all this versatility talk we heard during ST, there sure hasn't been a lot of creativity from Ozzie. You want to know a pretty big organizational flaw that is never talked about. Cooper preaches pitching to contact yet the defense is never addressed properly. Mark Teahen at third is not addressing the defense properly.

I really wish guillen would stop trying to play a match up type lineup with the players that have no clue how to perform it. The L/R/L/R stuff has not worked in a couple of years nor has the guy he thinks needs to lead off. Baseball is not that hard to manage it really isn't if you have agood pen AJP can not drive in runs yet he and Kotsay bat fifth for some god unknown reason. Lucy may be a s*** player but he has had some good at bats and deserves at leasta decent look. Also Quentin is not hte player he was in 2008 and should be moved out of the 3 spot.

QUOTE (HeGone33 @ Apr 21, 2010 -> 03:47 PM) Just heard on the Score, they quoted Sun-Times and Tribune tweets.........Zambrano being moved to bullpen. Z must be hurt.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 21, 2010 -> 03:40 PM) The NFL couldn't really have done more. Had the suspension been longer than 4 game with good behavior, the NFLPA would have lost it's mind. As it is even now, I bet they aren't too pleased. Sorry if I was unclear but the Steelers were pushing for as tough a suspension as they could levy.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 21, 2010 -> 03:35 PM) I'd be a lot more panicky if we weren't missing the two top offensive threats on defense. You can literally see the difference with and without these guys on the team right now. That has more to do with this than anything Q is or isn't doing. Duncan Keith is the top offensive threat. This team is playing too small in this series.

The Steelers were pushing the NFL for the suspension to be tougher.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 21, 2010 -> 12:18 AM) Also, it'd be nice if the captain decided to show up for this series at some point. A lot of people haven't shown up obviously, but Toews' absence has been especially noteable. He and Hossa would be nice. Sadly the only guys I think really playing well are Sopel, Kane and the Swedish Hammer. Q is a .500 coach in playoffs maybe that is all we are going to get with him. This team does not look like it can adjust to anything Nashville is doing.

I posted this elsewhere but I will do it again. The ratings suck for any WS that does not include major "nation" teams thus the MLB does not want the mid major type to win thus you will not see a salary cap. The MLB wants the yanks, Red Sox, Mets, cubs, Dodgers etc. in the playoffs and could give a s*** about he rest of the teams.

The site confuses me...I am not an idiot but I just never seem to get anywhere quickly. I think I have 3 posts there mostly when this site was down.

I am not sure what to make of that episode. It backs my point about the hospital potentially gettting everyone in one place.... I need to read reviews on this I think.

Somebody needs to explain to Ozzie that right handed hitters can hit right handed pitching. If they could not they would have been out of baseball by age 12. Left handed hitters struggle against left handed pitching.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 19, 2010 -> 08:54 PM) Their bullpen plan is to what our offensive plan was this year. Both front offices should be fired for having such a high payroll with such glaring holes. Bats are easier to find than bullpen help. How is that cub offense doing when not able to play in the wind tunnel

The Hawks will have four goals in 3 games after tonight. Any discussion of the team starts and ends there. Keep believing the hype boys
