13 MPH difference between Santos' heat and his change. That's excellent.

At last our 3 hitter.

Juandog stole a base without Beckham bunting him over? WHAT

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 18, 2010 -> 02:40 PM) If Don Cooper didn't get that job, he would leave the organization. That I'm sure of...he wants to be the next manager of the Sox. I wouldnt mind Coop managing the team for the rest of the year. Bring in Ventura for bench coach, maybe call up Chambliss as hitting coach and Ever to fill out the rest of the staff. As far as interim staffs go that's not terrible.

Keep it moving, guys!

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 18, 2010 -> 02:38 PM) Just a hunch, but I think Joey Cora would suck as a manager. Personally, if Ozzie left, I hope they clean house sans Don Cooper. Agreed. Cora appears to be a very similiar manager to Ozzie.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 18, 2010 -> 02:38 PM) Some life from the bottom of our order the last two games. Can Pierre get his first RBI? "If wishes were horses.... we'd all be eating steak"

Rbi single from Alexei.

Rbi double from Vizquel!!! OZZIE IS REDEEMED!!!

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 18, 2010 -> 02:29 PM) I am talking manager, but at the same time I am not suggesting that Ozzie be fired. It's just too early for that kind of talk. However, this start is very disappointing Joe Morgan would be worse then Ozzie as a manager. Far, far worse. For all of Ozzie's lunacies, those are some of Joe Morgan's direct impulses.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 18, 2010 -> 02:28 PM) Deck chairs and lifeboats, meet the Titanic. The irony is that we had a perfectly serviceable long innings guy in Carrasco, and spent that money on Vizquel/Kotsay/Pierre/Teahen instead. Well, that's about ITEM 13 or 14 on the offseason complaint list I guess. But it created yet another problem in our bullpen, the lack of a long guy/innings eater. We let Carrasco go, so he could be a starter. Now.... he's the long-man for the Pirates.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 18, 2010 -> 02:26 PM) Fisk or maybe a Joe Morgan would be good You're joking, right? I'd prefer to keep KW. If we don't. Interview Paul Depodesta, David Forst, Rick Hahn, Kim Nga, and Logan White. For manager i'd like a guy like Davey Johnson.

Actually, now that i think about it. Didn't Lyndon B. Johnson once say, "If I've lost Baseball Tonight, I've lost Middle America?."

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Apr 18, 2010 -> 02:23 PM) Tony Pena is too good to be wasted as a long man, wsox need to drop Randy already and call up Torres. This is true, We need a long releiver. We can no longer afford to assume that our starters make a long-man unneeded. DFA Randy and call-up Torres.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 18, 2010 -> 02:17 PM) I'll believe the Buddy Bell impact when I see it at the major league level. Beckham and Hudson were two guys whom Bell oversaw the development of. I suspect Danks will be the first true example. Bells loves him.

Well, if BBTN says it...

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Apr 18, 2010 -> 02:09 PM) Wait, which of those things is really good? Beckham and Hudson? I know you hate Rios, but are you seriously writing off Peavy, right now? Not to mention hiring Buddy Bell to dramatically improve our minor league system?

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 18, 2010 -> 02:07 PM) As much crap as Ozzie is getting, Kenny Williams has done a HORRIBLE job as our GM since the Quentin trade. Peavy, Rios, Flowers, hiring Buddy Bell, Drafting Danksy 2, Hudson and Beckham (with Laumann). Not that terrible.

I hope we start working on a way to keep Coop after the purge.

Auburn vs Vandy on ESPN 2, if anyone's interested.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 18, 2010 -> 01:58 PM) I'm pretty sure Rice or TCU has some superstar infielder. I think you're talking about Anthony Rendon the 3b of Rice. He's great.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Apr 18, 2010 -> 01:52 PM) Day off tomorrow, FWIW Good thing we sat Jones and Q wouldn't want to miss that extra day of rest.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Apr 18, 2010 -> 01:53 PM) Bryce Harper anyone? He's going to be drafted by the Nationals. This year.

QUOTE (keninem @ Apr 18, 2010 -> 01:30 PM) Yep, and to think, we didn't have a spot for Thome.. Fixed.
