Dick Allen Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 QUOTE(fathom @ May 31, 2006 -> 08:15 PM) Is it being a bad fan to hope Politte gets rocked here, and makes the Sox consider another pitching roster move? If they don't realize he can't get the job done by now, I don't think a 4 or 5 spot here will help get it through their heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 31, 2006 -> 08:16 PM) Well, the indians are on the verge of a hot streak. We cant take advantage of Detroit playing the yankees. Its not looking good for us. If we take 3 out of 4 here, we could crush them in the standings. By letting them win 2 or 3 out of 4 we give them life. Low payroll, lots of prospects to trade, dangerous combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Quick question....why does Hawk keep saying we haven't clicked all year? We had like 6 guys in the lineup hot at the same time for 3 weeks. Not many teams get that fortunate the whole season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jphat007 Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 QUOTE(fathom @ May 31, 2006 -> 07:17 PM) I'm not a fan of Pods, but he's the least of our worries right now. He's been doing a terrific job lately. How can you not be a fan of Pods after what he has done the last year and a half? I just don't understand it.

It still really hasn't felt like this team has fired on all cylinders. We saw what the pitching was capable of last year. It doesn't seem like we've had that going at the same time as the offense.

Jose Guillen is the last thing this team needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't understand it. I think it's cause of the Sizemore vs Pods argument with you. Pods is actually one of my favorite players off the field. I just think that for a speed player, he's very poor fundamentally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What always drives me more crazy is that every time we have a hard time against an opposing pitcher, Hawk and especially DJ, describe the guy as if he is the second coming of Nolan Ryan.

ThinWhiteDuque Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Whatever you say man. lol His .371 OBP is just fine by me. His job is to get on base. He is not a hole in the lineup. When you have two other position players hitting like pitchers (SS, CF), you can't afford to have Vince Coleman in your lineup as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the pitching's going to come around to the point it's dominant though? We've faced almost all of the worst hitting teams in the AL already. Everyone knows the Cell becomes a launching pad when it gets hot out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is making awesome pitches tonight. Knibbling the corners, making sinkerballs strikes when he has to. He has effectively taken our offense out of any rythmn.

Guest JimH Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Names please? That's just it Alex. I can certainly understand giving Uribe some time off and sub with Cintron or Ozuna. As for CF, I can't think of any players that are on the market. Possibly there may be in another month but right now the option is to play Anderson more and hope he gets going, or send him down and replace him with another OF with CF experience. The White Sox don't have anyone like that (who hits righthanded). Before someone says Torii Hunter, the White Sox and Twins haven't traded with one another in eons. It's possible, but the odds are way way against it. The only team with an excess of OF who is looking for prospects is the Washington Nationals, and they don't have a righthanded hitting guy who can play CF. The Pirates have a guy on their 40 man roster the White Sox might like but why would Pittsburgh trade anybody young and cheap. So your question is very valid. It's easy to say go out and get someone, but from looking at other teams rosters, I don't see too many possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not Pods fault that we can't produce offensive talent from our minors, and Uribe is clueless at the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
