SoxFan562004 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 QUOTE (Chet Lemon @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 04:27 PM) I'm not where most of you are yet, but if this team is 5 or more games out at the end of the month, would a firesale make sense? Would Tampa overpay to get one of our bullpen guys? or the NYY to set up Mariano or the Cubs, or many other teams. Hell, if Dye stays anywhere close to what he's at, someone would trade for a bat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 04:24 PM) It's not a horrible move if AJ wasn't on 1st base (PR with Nix/Anderson/Beckham, then put in Castro). Of course, AJ WAS on first base, lol. LH batters usually have a much easier time getting down a bunt against a hard-throwing righty, and Zumaya has almost zero movement on his fastball....now bunting Jenks when he's on and throwing 96-99, that's much tougher because of his movement. Jenks has a very straight fastball as well, at least when he's in the high 90's. A hard fastball is extremely tough to bunt effectively. You'll be able to bunt it, but it'll likely be a pop up, be fould, or a hard grounder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitoMB345 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 QUOTE (Dizzy Sox @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 04:26 PM) Let's don't get carried away Although it would be close I think Lillibridge might actually be worse than Wise. That being said, we do need to take a blowtorch to this team. We stink. I'm not getting carried away. Lillibridge, at this point, brings a lot more to the team than Wise does (which is nothing). As long as Brent doesn't start a single game, that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justBLAZE Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 What if we are at 5 games out by the end of the month.. That's something we can make up in 3 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 If we get swept, we're pretty much out of it, IMO. This team isn't built to come from behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santo=dorf Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Our starting CF, beloved by our manager, is hitting .150 He'll be out their facing Bonderman tonight because Brian doesn't have a good history against Jeremy. Of course Ozzie said back in 2006 that before Brian ever face Bondo. Yeah, but he doesn't have anything against him. I'm trying to give up on Anderson (had him in my please don't bring back sig) but Wise is making it harder and harder each day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 QUOTE (ChesterCopperpot @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 08:53 PM) Man, that Wise guy sure is fun to watch. Why is he batting so low in the batting order? I think it's because Ozzie wants to put off the inevitable as long as he can and just toy with us. The other one is Fields, who can't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 09:06 PM) Honestly, I'd rather have Lillibridge. At least the guy could take a walk and provided a late inning PR who could steal a base. If I remember right he was hitting lower than Wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did we gain at all? I hope that whenever Flowesr comes up we see something that will make us feel we did get a return on a trade.

ThunderBolt Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I think a serious argument can be made that Ozzie deserves to be fired because of the decisions he’s made this year. And honestly, at this point, I don’t know if I’d really be against the firing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty22hotty Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 With TCQ out, what do you guys expect? He carried the Sox for most of '08... Blaming KW is silly, He traded Swish/Vasquez because Ozzie wanted them gone. KW filled every position... Who knew Fields / BA wouldn't perform to their capabilities? Also Ozzie will be here through '12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderBolt Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 KW is one of the better GM's in the league, no use firing him unless Logan White or Paul Depodesta have something really profound to offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KW didn’t bench Beckham for Fields and Getz. KW didn’t consistently put Betemit and Lillibridge on the field despite consistent failure. KW didn’t put a gold-glove caliber defender like Jayson Nix in LF. KW didn’t bat Wise leadoff for the first week in the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 We should bring up a ton of minor leaguers and one will have to get off to a sizzling start by law of averages to break that jinx. We got nine hits and lost? What a bummer. p.s. Paulie is a stud. And Pods has hit well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
