Yeah, Huddy should clean up today. There's some decent doubles hitters on the Braves, but nothing he can't take care of by pounding them low in the zone.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 17, 2010 -> 06:45 PM) Cora is a hanger on no good son of a b**** and completely worthless! The only issue with Cora is that he's Ozzie. He might be a little more agressive then Guillen on the basepaths, but he's pretty much the same kind of manager. We have no one here for Ozzie to bounce ideas off of.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 17, 2010 -> 06:50 PM) I think that manager in Birmingham may be a good candidate. If I knew how to spell his name, I would. Ever? Nah, i don't think he's ready, and it's pretty clear from how the Barons started this year that having a collection of mega-prospects did him a lot of good. I'd prefer Davey Johnson. I'm to assume that we crapped the bed tonight, right? I'm still watching this "epic" (read boring as s***) Mets game, but i saw the final score.

Hudson homers to put the Twins on top.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 17, 2010 -> 02:37 PM) It would be super ballsy, but with all the whining KW does, do you see it happening realistically? Nope, but at this point pipedreams seem better then the sad reality.

Pods with an RBI single to tie the game, then gets picked off of first. Suprise!

You people are crazy. Had we signed any of those guys we'd never be able to rotate the DH and find at-bats for guys like Vizquel and Kotsay. Yikes.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 17, 2010 -> 01:58 PM) Some huge changes made to the lineup. Ozzie's really shaking things up. Pierre, Beckham, Quentin, Konerko, Jones, AJP, Rios, Teahen, Ramirez Wait, Rios was moved down in the order? For AJ? Really, Ozzie?

QUOTE (CryptviLL @ Apr 17, 2010 -> 01:14 PM) Peavy + Roy Oswalt are best friends (just said on cubs broadcast) maybe we should trade for oswalt I believe Oswalt was one of the contingency plans after Peavy rejected the first trade last year. Oswalt didn't express any interest in coming here. Frankly, if we went after Berkman and the Astros demanded we toss in a couple more players and assume Oswalt and his salary... i'd be game.

I suspect this will be a Mets game for me too. Jones better be in the lineup, Ozzie.

If the Bulls can take two, i'll be satisfied. I refuse to let my fanhood, get in the way of my logic.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Apr 16, 2010 -> 09:17 PM) I can see KW trading Santos for Adam Dunn Strange, can't see the Nats doing that even if i squint.

Twins taking it to Greinke in the third inning. 2 Rbi double from their 5 hole hitter. Imagine that production from the 5 hole.

Has Juan Pierre ever NOT grounded out to second?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 16, 2010 -> 09:04 PM) This team is starting to look like 2007 bad. Nah, we're still good for about 20 more runs then 2007, We're about 2009 bad.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Apr 16, 2010 -> 09:03 PM) There is a very very real possibility that we are 6 GB after this weekend. You seem to underestimate the power of the rotating DH.

Why isn't Linebrink in here?

I see nothing from this lineup that suggest we're not on pace to meet an offensive production that is similiar or worse then last year's. That being said i am not ready to abandon these guys. KW will doing something, it's nigh inevitable. This team needs to focus on keeping pace with the Twins, until a move can be made.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Apr 16, 2010 -> 08:56 PM) if this was our line-up instead, would we be better? 1 podsednik 2 felipe lopez 3 quentin 4 thome 5 konerko 6 beckham 7 pierzynski 8 rios 9 ramirez Is their any doubt?

QUOTE (The Gooch @ Apr 16, 2010 -> 08:52 PM) I would like Kotsay a lot more if Ozzie used him like he should be used a.k.a. pinch hitter, defensive replacement/spot starter I'd like Mark Kotsay a lot more if he was starting everyday for the Houston Astros.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 16, 2010 -> 08:49 PM) neither are we. So, why are you the one telling us to be optimisic about a team that seems destined to meet projection?

QUOTE (icroca @ Apr 16, 2010 -> 08:47 PM) Nice edit. I cooled down. A bit.

QUOTE (The Gooch @ Apr 16, 2010 -> 08:46 PM) So in essence, we passed on Jim Thome so Mark Kotsay could DH. All of the double play hitting capability with none of the power We couldn't get him the at-bats, Gooch. You know the at-bats that we later gave to like, 5 different guys.

Get Mark Kotsay and his double plays out of the 5 hole Ozzie!

Double son of a b****.
