i think its funny that in 20 at bats this season the only hit mac has given up to a righty is sammy sosa -

drilled it at the knees! huge! -
QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 19, 2007 -> 12:22 PM) Yeah because Podsednik was a worldbeater when it came time to get a bunt down. never said he was but i guarantee hes a better bunter than nixon and dellucci and better than what i have seen out of iguchi over the two years plus you forgot to mention that pods is actually a base stealing threat unlike those other guys

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 19, 2007 -> 11:34 AM) I don't think anybody was asking for either of those two. It would've been dumb as hell to pay either of those guys $40 million plus. David Delluci or Trot Nixon, on the other hand... Nixon would've been a great fit for the two hole with Iguchi leading off. Erstad still would've been needed (as a backup starting CFer), and we still would've been short a righty mashing platoon mate, but Nixon still would've been a great pickup. i dont think either of those two guys are the answer at the two hole and i don't want to see iguchi leading off for some reason iguchi forgot how to bunt and i dont want my top two guys in the order being unable to lay a damn bunt down
-
statistically we are nearly equal of the royals when both hitting and pitching are considered and they are something like 3-11 i think
-
its hard to believe the sox are even 5-7 at this point. ranked last in MLB in runs scored and 17th in MLB in ERA. so on the positive side things can only get better from here. right?

Would you be happy with 1 of 3?

QUOTE(JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Apr 9, 2007 -> 06:42 PM) who's your pick to have a big series? I'm thinking jermaine dye blows up in a big way this series. on a sidenote, it's great to see the yanks lighting up ponson's s***ty ass. unfortunately that could actually be a bad thing in the long run as they will be quicker to pull the trigger on releasing him and bring garza back up thata boy JD!!! -

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Apr 10, 2007 -> 12:25 AM) How do you win those games? You pitch You are agreeing with me and you don't even realize it. dude i realize you need to pitch well to win games i dont know where you are going with that but i still say that division games mean more than non-division games QUOTE(JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Apr 9, 2007 -> 06:10 PM) now I know a lot of sox fans on here would say yes, and I also know the recent history of the Sox in Oakland, and I am still going to say I would not be happy with less than 2 of 3 from the A's. I think Jose is going to come out strong tonight and I just hope we can scratch a few across against harden. game 2 I feel good about Garland as he seems to throw pretty well in California in general. game 3, well that's a toss up, if any of the three games I feel least confident about it would be this game. for some reason i see kennedy giving us trouble. all in all, i gotta agree with ozzie i'm feeling 2 out of 3 thoughts? so far so good. jose came out and battled in game 1! -

QUOTE(Whitewashed in @ Apr 9, 2007 -> 09:41 PM) You could also tell anyone that divisions are not won in april, but can be lost and they would agree with you. The fact is we cannot be happy or even content with taking 1 out of 3. The goal is to win at least 2 out of 3 everytime. i agree if you looked at my opening statement..so ur not arguing with me -

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Apr 9, 2007 -> 08:54 PM) And if they get swept by Minnesota, they can still win the division. I dont understand your argument And, regardless of the record against the division, the reason they won was pitching, period. They beat teams within the division because they pitched well. 3.61 is a hell of a lot better than 4.61, and that's why they won in 05 and they didnt in 06. Period. ask anyone what games are most important and they will tell you divisional games, take care of business in your own division and you have a GREAT chance of making the playoffs sorry if you dont buy that argument but thats the truth -

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Apr 9, 2007 -> 08:28 PM) And tonight's a great day to gain a game, so no, these are just as important as divisional games. my point is that even if we lose these 3 games we can still compete for the division. the easiest way to do that: win your divisional games. why do you think the sox won the division in '05? they had a ridiculous record against AL central opponents. -

QUOTE(Whitewashed in @ Apr 9, 2007 -> 08:04 PM) 1 out of 3 is worse case scenario. 2 out of 3 is good. The bad history in Oakland has come far enough. If we expect to compete in this division we need to win. Not make excuses every time. We need to create our own breaks. Every year it's always a bad call, errors, sunlight, whatever. i dont think these next 3 games will really have an impact on whether or not we compete for a division title. in fact we could even drop these next 3 but take care of business against division rivals and win the central that way. those division games are more important than these. -

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 9, 2007 -> 07:18 PM) There is no series this season where I will be happy with 1/3. Period. It is guaranteed to happen obviously, but when it does happen...you should be unhappy about it. You should go into Yankee Stadium when the Yankees have won 15 in a row wanting to take 2/3 or better. You should go into Minnesota with both Santana and Liriano scheduled to pitch wanting to take 2/3. You do not win championships going 1/3 and being happy about it. You win championships by winning 2/3 and being pissed off that you didn't sweep someone. well yes from a players perspective this is how they should be thinking. but we arent playing, i am just asking from a fans perspective when considering the recent woes in oakland its hard to be overly dissappointed with winning 1 of 3 out there. happy? no, but terribly dissappointed? probably not -

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 9, 2007 -> 06:52 PM) If you're happy with 1 out of 3, you must like the Sox chances at a top 5 pick in the June 2008 draft. 2 out of 3 should be what makes you happy and giddy with a sweep. yes and no, when you consider the 4-23 record (0.148 winning pct.) in the last 27 games 1-2 (0.333 winning pct.) would actually be a decent series historically speaking -

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 9, 2007 -> 06:47 PM) Juan Uribe. Despite being historically terrible at the Coliseum, Juan is slimmed down, taking pitches and has been the most effective hitter in the lineup for the Sox thus far this season. On top of that, in his career he's 1-2 w/ a HR vs Gaudin, 2-5 vs Harden and 2-6 vs Kennedy. I picked Juan and Javy as my breakout players this year and I'm thinking this will be one of those series that Juan takes over. yea i agree that juan looks like a man on a mission this year and i think hes gonna put up some nice numbers lets hope he keeps it rolling because he can carry this team on his back when hes hot -

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Apr 9, 2007 -> 06:42 PM) I know the Sox are 4-23 in the last 27 games in Oakland, but I'll be happy with 3 of 3 and content with 2 of 3. 1 of 3 or 0 of 3 I won't be happy about. wow aiming high i like it -
