southsider2k5 Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 The key tonight is to not let the A's score first. If they do we will quit again. Just watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hotsoxchick1 Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 I warned about this guy when the Sox first got him to the yawns of everyone you didnt get any yawning out of me... i didnt want the dumbass here in the first place and i still dont want him here now..........lol ....thats no new news......... To all of you younger posters out there with little experience in the work world. There is NOTHING and I mean nothing worse at the job than having an arrogant prickface of a boss who thinks he or she if that be the case knows everything there is nothing worse than working for an IKE (i know everything) type of person......it does suck.....life lesson #1 you always learn something new each and every day no matter how small of a deal it is, so you will never in fact know everything there is to know .............. Miles isn't the answer though. His presence isn't going to turn this team around. he may not be the answer but the fact that hes a switch hitter whos got a hot bat right now may just help out a bit and ignite a fire??????cant hurt to try....

baggio202 Posted May 7, 2003 Author Share Posted May 7, 2003 i stand by what i posted day one of this season...whether miles is the answer or not doesnt matter,...he won the job out of ST..he outplayed jimenez..and this wasnt a situatio nwhere jimenez was a veteran incumbent..that position should have went to the player who showed the most in ST and that was miles...

Guest hotsoxchick1 Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 i agree baggs.. jm agrees with you too.. he wanted to take him.... its kw who didnt agree and didnt want that kid up here cause he PAID jimenez to take that position..........just like he paid clayton to stand out in ss, as opposed to riding the bench as jm told him to do...... it always boils down to kw making the stupid decisions because of a players contract instead of his actual capabilities........

Chisoxfn Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Umm, wouldn't Jimenez basically get paid the same amount if Miles was up? Also, Jimenez was doing just fine in spring training too. One other key point is that Jimenez draws walks, and that is something a leadoff guy has to do and Miles has yet to show he can do that on a consistent basis.

whitesox247 Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 DLo needs to be benched today, and tomorrow. I'm tired of this no-consequence managing. If a guy doesnt give a f*** and drops a damn popup for 3 unearned runs, you gotta bench him. Look at the Astros, Julio Lugo was doing fine as their leadoff hitter. And then he beats his wife and they RELEASH him the next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 i stand by what i posted day one of this season...whether miles is the answer or not doesnt matter,...he won the job out of ST..he outplayed jimenez..and this wasnt a situatio nwhere jimenez was a veteran incumbent..that position should have went to the player who showed the most in ST and that was miles... Miles may have "won" the second base job over Jimenez, but Jimenez was NEVER in a competition to lose it. Jimenez was the 2003 starting second basemen before Miles was named southern league MVP. JM never once mentioned anything about Miles being the starting second basemen. He wasalways mentioned in the final bench spot between him, Harris, and Paul.
