Baron

You idiot Santiago

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ May 5, 2012 -> 05:44 PM) Baron, have you ever wondered why they're called "walk-offs" ? Yeah I forgot where we were in the inning for a bit there. Leave me alone Ive been drinking.

If Santiago gives up a hit Im going to be fuming

1 more please

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 5, 2012 -> 05:41 PM) Reed warming. Yep Ive had just about enough of Santiago and it looks like Cooper has too

Hey Santiago....throw strikes

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 5, 2012 -> 05:37 PM) How fat is he going to be in the last couple years of his contract? He'll probably be on the DL with the gout. :lolhitting I can just see that on the report. * Fielder placed on the 60 day DL with gout*

God Fielder is fat

Haha silence the crowd

DUNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ May 5, 2012 -> 05:30 PM) Are you a Tigers fan? What? I meant for us

Can we have a walk off please?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 5, 2012 -> 05:18 PM) Send BOTH of those guys to Charlotte if Morel is THAT bad. Might as well play Dallas McPherson or Conor Jackson. Seems that Morel's shaky confidence has already been destroyed, regardless. I have no problem with that actually. I think thats whats going to happen.

Great here comes goofy glasses to close

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 5, 2012 -> 05:14 PM) You've got to be kidding me!!!! If Brent Morel is really our 3B of the future, you don't PH Eduardo Escobar for him. You might as well send him to Charlotte tomorrow, because Eduardo Escobar's minor league OPS wasn't even in the same zip code as Andy Gonzalez. If it's Dan Johnson, fine. I can live with that, just to keep our team somewhat competitive this year. Who else was he suppose to bench Morel for? Is Robin going to bat?

Thank you Robin for benching Morel

horrible throw Alexei

No thank you to Ohman

QUOTE (Marty34 @ May 5, 2012 -> 04:58 PM) I don't think it is possible to do both. Certainly not in the situation the Sox are currently in. It is possible...the question is do we have the right man to do it? I dont think anyone on this board wants to wait until 2018-2020 before this team jumps back into the division battle again.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ May 5, 2012 -> 04:52 PM) What's the alternative? You can rebuild but do it a little bit at a time while also staying competitive. Its possible to do both. Instead of possibly being a complete laughing stock of the league for 5-10 years.

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ May 5, 2012 -> 04:49 PM) Living near Kansas City...I'm scared to death of rebuilding. The Royals have been attempted 7 different rebuilding plans since 1994. Exactly....you could be even more screwed than you were in the first place.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ May 5, 2012 -> 04:46 PM) I'm okay with it. I'd enjoy a clear cut direction in building for a better and more sustainable future versus being stuck in .500ish purgatory for the foreseeable future. Though I'm someone who will watch the Sox good or bad. Thats fine and all. Rebuilding sometimes is good. The problem is we dont know how long thats going to take. It could be a while before were good enough to get into the playoffs. By a while I mean it could take more than just a few years.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 5, 2012 -> 04:42 PM) It will grind down the fans' patience, though. We've already seen this tired act for 3+ years now, the main difference is we could additonally watch Carlos Quentin jack another 30 randomly-timed homers out. Right...nobody wants to watch a team stink(except for Cubs fans). You think attendance is bad now. Wait until we go on a long losing streak.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ May 5, 2012 -> 04:35 PM) Yep. It seems many people still have high expectations for this team for some reason. The saving grace of Sale to the bullpen is the fact that it will likely push Kenny (or his replacement) to fully commit to a rebuild instead of this stuck in between nonsense. It prob has to do with the fact that losing and rebuilding are no fun.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2012 -> 04:25 PM) He looks like a pitcher at the plate. The 0-1 swing was comical. He looks so overmatched, and I wouldn't be surprised if he's sent down after the road trip. I really hope so
