South Side Fireworks Man Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ May 7, 2008 -> 10:09 PM) I'll tell you exactly what happened. Usually in those spots, the RF will take control due to having a good throwing arm. Swisher thought Dye was going to call him off, but he never did. Put Anderson in CF, move either Quentin or Swisher to RF and Dye to DH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metz Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 (edited) QUOTE (fathom @ May 7, 2008 -> 10:08 PM) I agree, that was great. The term "boiled over" comes to mind. BTW, read the NFL offseason thread on the Patriots stuff. What a pathetic organization. just read it. Thats good I hate the patriots anyways so that bat Buerhle was taking hacks with was Uribes? I wasnt paying complete attention but was he pissed or something? because really i think Mark was just trying to put some life into the bat since Juan cant Edited May 8, 2008 by JFields27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxmanager Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 CF, you either bench PK or Swisher. and what order of the lineup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 QUOTE (WillieHarris2 @ May 8, 2008 -> 03:13 AM) either way he must have called that ball so he should've gotten in position i dont see how that excuses him It doesn't, no one said he played it well.

TheBigHurt Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 so where in the lineup would you like to see him and why? Why NOT? Anderson in his limited at-bats has hit better than anyone is right now and it's not like substituting a guy who's not hitting (which as far as I can tell Anderson IS hitting) for a guy who's not hitting is a big deal...

fathom Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 This is the lineup I would like to see tomorrow: Anderson CF Cabrera SS Thome DH Dye RF Quentin LF AJP C Swisher 1B Crede 3b Uribe 2b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a guy with an OPS around .550 leading off. come on fathom...i am curious as to where you would put em? i am thinking put that man 3rd or 4th in the lineup. put as much pressure on him as possible and see how he performs. that might also pull JT's head outta his assfunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 According to Hawk, Experience buys you shorter slump times. I guess a year and a half is shorter than say what 7 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friend of Nordhagen Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 7, 2008 -> 10:17 PM) According to Hawk, Experience buys you shorter slump times. I guess a year and a half is shorter than say what 7 years. Yeah, I heard some of that (believe it or not, I'm switching back and forth to the far more entertaining Top Chef). Wow; if he hadn't before, I believe that Hawk just jumped the shark. He now exists, completely and wholly, in a world of self-parody. He's redefined the whole concept. In fact, I will now simply call it "jumping the Hawk." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 You have to put blame on Walker after a while. Pierzynski was a 300 hitter before coming to the Sox. Thome was a prominent hitter (though age/injuries have slowed him down), Swisher has looked nothing like the one from OAK, Cabrera is hitting .200, Uribe just continues his decline....
