leadoff double....here comes Gavin

He should have swung at the first pitch

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 10:36 PM) Yes it would, the only untouchable on the roster would be Sale. Dodgers would have to be very interested in Konerko and Peavy, as they have the money to spend. I really hope it doesnt get that bad.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 10:32 PM) I think some of them may have been...but I don't know how different things would have been regardless. Hell we wont know until he gets back....or if he ever gets back

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 10:27 PM) I'd say let's see what else they do to address it first. This is exactly one of the of the downsides when you are trying to develop players from within...you have to show patience with a guy, then he goes down or self-destructs, and you don't have Wade Boggs sitting around in AAA waiting to be plugged-in. I blame this on Morel for being a big bag of suck. I still think Kevin Youkillis may be a decent option right now. Wouldnt cost much. Everyone knows on here how much I hated Morel. But those struggles Im sure were due to his back issues.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 10:24 PM) Yeah, but at least he didn't call him out by name. Yeah that would have been really bad

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 10:23 PM) In all fairness to Hudson, he's playing out of position. His pop up with the bases loaded an one out was at least close to as bad as his throw, and you can throw blame at him for that. All the mess ups at 3B, that's on KW and the White Sox. The guy isn't a thirdbaseman. I agree with that.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 10:22 PM) Ahh, well that's not so bad. Its pretty clear who he was talking about. Basically pointing out who lost the game.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 10:19 PM) What did he say? Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan Peavy: frustrating. Not playing good fundamental baseball. Lose another series. https://twitter.com/CST_soxvan

Yep indeed Peavy did call out Hudson

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 10:14 PM) That's true. When it bothers me too much, I just remember what my wife once told me when I was a little too consumed by the game... Its just a bunch of uneducated men in silly costumes, running around in dirt, trying to hit a ball with a stick. Smart lady

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 10:13 PM) Well consider yourself lucky. That is a constant struggle for me. You should see my Father and Grandfather if the Bears lose. Not a pretty sight.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 10:12 PM) I think Jake brings the focus on him simply due to his support for soxtalk's two least favorite players in Hudson and Stewart. Jake's a good poster though who's brought a ton to the game threads this year, and I hope he doesn't take any of this personally. Well said

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 10:10 PM) I honestly think you just lash out at him because he remains positive when you are angry. Im not mad at all actually. Its a game in the end. Not anything thats going to affect my life more than I want it to.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 10:08 PM) Well then you are more than welcome to criticize our coaching staff if they are making excuses...but I don't see what that has to do with Jake. I just explained what it had to do with Jake. You know very well of the posts Im talking about.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 10:05 PM) I'm pretty sure our players are not reading Jake's comments, unless Jake is really a bench coach who posts via his iPad during the game. Ofcourse they arent reading his posts. All Im saying is these players dont need excuses made for them. They need to go out there and play.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 10:01 PM) I was referring to the players, not Jake. But in regards to Jake, I do think it is pretty incredible that you are going to rip on one of the few guys in here with a positive attitude. Positive attitude is great. Everyone is in a good mood when we are winning. The excuses for these players has to stop though. They dont respond if you make excuses for them.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 09:58 PM) It's not getting back at you...I like you...it's just that you curse everyone and anyone immediately after they make a mistake in a fit of rage. Breathe. Oh you havent seen a fit of rage yet. Im breathing just fine actually. Im not going to bash him if he said something wrong. Like that would Hudson hit a homer. Im bashing him for defending these players poor play. Im just glad the coaches and management dont.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 09:55 PM) And you would throw your mother to the wolves the second after she dropped your chicken salad sandwich on the floor. Grow up. That was a horrific attempt to try and get back at me.

You know Kenny is days away from making a move if he wants Viciedo back at 3rd base.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 09:52 PM) What a terrible player. I'm sure the usual few on here will stick up for him. He could airmail a ball into the stands and Jake would say " One horrific throw doesnt make a bad night"

Thanks O Dawg you pathetic pile of crap

Ball 4 and automatic out at the plate.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 09:45 PM) He thought it was hitting him. It's a good slider he's got, by all accounts. DV showing his inexperience a little bit there, though he worked the count fairly well to that point I didnt think it was that close. But obviously different where he is standing than on a TV.

Why was he looking at that?
