frankie5angels Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 What a terrible signing Dotel was. 11 million for 2 years. f***ing brutal!! I have a better chance of throwing out a baserunner than Toby Hall does. Let the f***ing guy go. What the f***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G&T Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Apr 26, 2008 -> 03:08 PM) If they didnt fire him last year, I dont know what it will take for them to fire him this year. But if they do, they need to go outside the organization and find someone new. This promoting crap from within is a bit dumb. Didn't they just hire from outside to bring in Cox to make this a more fundamentally sound team? From what I can tell, the team plays worse defense, runs bases worse than last year, can't put down a bunt, and can't hit the other way. I don't really know what he was brought in for, but it seems to me the players have to take responsibility for sucking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Dotel got lucky the wind is blowing in. His 91 high fastball and flat slider is going to drive us nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowch Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Okay. The Sox desperately need to score at LEAST 2 runs. How about stringing some hits together or create a run. Just SOMETHING! I hate watching corpseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 3 hits going into the top pf the 9th. Oakland's Smith who was rocked the following start after he faced the Walker offense was just invoked by DJ. Maybe DJ these guys arent Cy Young, maybe its the offense.

Cowch Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Maybe I should start picking up spot starters against the Sox in my fantasy leagues. I can't believe how good we make mediocre pitchers look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie5angels Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 We'll hear in the postgame show, how this guy was locating all his pitches and changing speeds and keeping our guys of balance. It will be the same old f***ing tune. Never how our guys can't make any type of adjustments and that they need to start picking it up against pitchers they should be able to get to.

frankie5angels Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Well Hawk that is bulls***. The guys are making millions of f***ing dollars. Make adjustments. Evediently something ain't working with our approach at the plate. I am sick of f***ing hearing the same s*** everytime against lefties and guys we have never seen before. Someone needs to be held accountable for this s***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But one man can Who have the Sox brought in that's a high average hitter who hasn't performed? They bring in more reclamation projects than anything else. Dye was brought in and has played well, generally. Thome has been Thome, and nobody is going to change that. AJ is hitting better this year by going the other way more and losing weight. He took responsibility. Swisher wasn't a high average hitter, but a good on base guy, which is what we are seeing. Quentin is young and doing as expected. Cabrera...better turn things around but he's a veteran who should know how to play. Other than that we've seen Pods, Erstad, Iguchi, Ramirez, Hall...these guys aren't that great. Who am I missing?
