JUSTgottaBELIEVE

just got to get a new CF since thats our biggest problem this year

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ May 12, 2007 -> 06:55 PM) Oh, right, I forgot that Erstad has a history of hitting the ball well, making the comparisons to RF, 1B and 3B totally apt! sorry almost forgot that our 3B has a great .259 career BA and .304 career OBP i guess we're set there then

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ May 12, 2007 -> 06:50 PM) Erstad's OPS now sits at .640. Of course, he'll bunt a runner over next week and drive in a run on a 1-for-4 night, and everyone will be gah-gah over him again. We need a CFer. Let's let Erstad play in a role he'd be perfectly acceptable in as the 4th OFer, and hopefully Kenny can get the Sox a real CFer by July. guess we need a new RF, 1B, and 3B since their OPS are all lower than erstads man, kennys gonna be busy!

QUOTE(TLAK @ May 10, 2007 -> 09:19 PM) Except for a rough outing from MacDougal, it could have been. yea man the twins looked very vulnerable in that series

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ May 9, 2007 -> 12:27 PM) It's basically impossible to win a tie game. with the way the offense is going right now and with the twins pen it sure did seem like it we prolly coulda played another 5 innings and not scored a run

im feeling it this is the series that the big O breaks out and feasts on overachievers (so far this year) ortiz and silva

I see no reason why we can't go into the twinkie dome this week and stick it to the piranhas. No Santana, no Mauer, maybe our luck is turning...

speed kills!

we need more grinders!

sweeney baby! huge hit!

macdaddy huge! QUOTE(santo=dorf @ May 5, 2007 -> 05:15 PM) Say, how's Tyler Lumpsum doing? good question how is he doing? seriously i know there were a lot of people on here upset to see them give up lumsden in that deal

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ May 5, 2007 -> 05:11 PM) I heard he never gets any despite being a ball player. yea he is a pretty goofy looking dude

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 5, 2007 -> 05:09 PM) I was wondering why he never got any ass. Thanks. haha yea he also has no pickoff move my bad

wow perfect thru 7 thats sick

thornton has NO pickup move hes really easy to read

yea he is. looks like the only professional hitter in our lineup these days. 2 for 3 today with a walk and a SB hes turning out to be a very nice little leadoff hitter for our sox

heres an idea lets just start bringing up the whole AAA lineup, we can start with terrero fields wiki sweeney we'd probably score more runs

and maybe the white sox organization has already determined that anderson is not the future CF for the white sox right or wrong maybe 400 ABs was all they needed to make that decision

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 09:16 PM) The team is better with Erstad this year. My problem is that he's on the wrong side of 30, he's had injuries in the past, and he doesn't give the White Sox any sense of stability in CF for the future. Atleast with Anderson, if you get him 1000 career ABs in the majors - which is a full season's worth of playing time this year - you can see if he is the future or not. With Erstad you already know he is not the future in CF. Beyond that, if the Sox are going to bring in an older CFer like that and have them start, I'd atleast like them to be better than a .725 OPS player at his best. Had the Sox brought in even Rowand, I would have been satisfied because he is going to put up a .700-.725 OPS at his worst with the potential to put up an OPS in the .800-.850 range. I didn't want it done at the time, but that's because I thought Anderson was going to get a fair shake in CF. Now that I know he never had a chance, I would have preferred Rowand, and that I know for sure. well heres the thing dude rowand isnt going to be playing for the 2007 chicago white sox and darin erstad is so i guess you are just going to have to deal with it. instead of complaining about darin erstad maybe you should start complaining about AJ hitting .213 konerko hitting under .200 or the fact that erstad has as many homeruns right now as joe crede. erstad is the least of the sox concerns at this point and maybe ozzie actually does know the difference between a major league hitter (ie. erstad) and one that isnt quite ready yet to be an everyday starter (ie. anderson)

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 09:00 PM) Duh, because the more hits and stolen bases you get, the bigger grinder you are, and if you're a grinder, you're damn good. Don't consider extra base hits or walks, because those aren't very grindy. I'm just surprised that Dye comparisons aren't coming up more, seeing as how the two are such similar ballplayers. I think everybody arguing about this is wasting time. However, it atleast provides more entertainment than talking about how horrible the team has been offensively thus far. So I keep doing it basically for that. just curious, what does erstad have to do this year for you to admit that this white sox team is a better team this year with him in there as opposed to anderson? seriously, id like to know because it seems like you are always knocking darin even after he has shown signs of being a real contributor to this team, and he already has contributed more offensively to the team this year in a month then anderson did all of last year

sweeney!!! huge!

too bad erstad cant hit 9 times in a row since hes the only one that seems to have a clue right now

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2007 @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 02:13 AM) Two more hits for Erstad. He's up to .250. not only did he have two hits but he also had a bunt single taken away on a terrific play by weaver and hit the ball hard to center on his other out. he is definitely swinging the bat better than anyone else on the team over the past two weeks. its a shame the hatred that some have for erstad has overshadowed his stellar play as of late. and in the leadoff spot he is now hitting over .300

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Apr 28, 2007 -> 06:27 AM) Brian had a better spring than Darin so why does he deserve the shaft? because he sucks when it counts

QUOTE(Craig Grebeck @ Apr 26, 2007 -> 11:02 AM) Cool. He found a hole. Still sucks at baseball. yea erstad why do you suck so much?! all you do is get big hits late in games! java script:emoticon(':bang', 'smid_6')
