Guest JimH Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 Jim, I hope that is an optimistic statement from you. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just trying to look big picture actually. It is easy to get very down on the team when the offense has been this frustrating. At time like this I tend to take a step back and look at what's happening next.

Flash Tizzle Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 QUOTE(AirScott @ May 29, 2005 -> 02:42 PM) what is this? AJ throwing out a would-be base stealer. looks like things might be starting to turn around...then again, Richard Hidalgo is not exactly a burner. Don't forget he's catching perhaps two of the slowest deliveries in the league with Contreras and Hernandez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Honda Civic Posted May 29, 2005 Author Share Posted May 29, 2005 QUOTE(jerseysox @ May 29, 2005 -> 03:35 PM) and i'll bet ANYTHING paul konerko makes the all-star team. Tito is not picking Konekro over his own guy (Ortiz) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseysox Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 QUOTE(WilliamTell @ May 29, 2005 -> 03:40 PM) Tino Martinez, Rafeal Palmeiro, Mark Texiera are 3. i'll give you teixeria. no doubt. palmeiro has NINETEEN RBI. puts him on pace for about 60 this season. no shot. tino his hitting just 20 points higher than paulie, with less homers and ribbies. the only reason he gets on that team is because is torre is picking it. sexson might go, but outside of teixeria, none of these guys is head and shoulders above paulie. i'm still accepting wagers on this.

Guest JimH Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 Shingo needs to be released. I know it wont happen, but he just doesn't have enough left to get out MLB hitters. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They need to figure something out, they're working around him right now. If he's the mop up guy, fine, but then he'll need to be able to throw 3+ innings and he can't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
