Is there a chance in
hell that Alexei might get more playing time over Uribe? I mean, he DID almost have a triple, something that Uribe will never get barring he dosen’t shake all the outfielders to the ground with his earth trembling weight.
posting this comment in one thread wasn't enough?

toonder… I wonder if you talk to people like this to their faces?
by Where Triples Go to Die on Apr 24, 2008 11:19 PM CDT up reply actions
yes, i would tell someone they didn't make sense
if they said that juan uribe could never hit a triple, considering he’s hit more triples than orlando cabrera (career and every year since ‘01) and a lot of other guys.

I agree with you though
Uribe bashing is so last game…
by Where Triples Go to Die on Apr 24, 2008 11:24 PM CDT up reply actions
if people want to bash uribe, that's fine.
but they should at least do it about stuff that actually happens, you know? not that he’s so fat he can never hit a triple.

yeah, there's nothing i enjoy more than arguing about the infield defense of the 2006 angels
except maybe the outfield defense of the 1995 rangers. there’s this site. called halo’s heaven. i’m sure you’d fit right in with the good reverend.
i blame juan uribe
that's it? that's the best you can do? larry, you must be drinking

aren't you bored with this already? the sox have played like twenty games.
i realize you like going over the same stuff over and over but i don’t know why you want me to. i’ve got nothing more to say on the subject at this point. i thought i’d made that clear.
i blame juan uribe
you don't seem to have any problem dredging up Thome whenever he gets a hit
c’mon Larry, I’m running on fumes here but your shit is weak tonite

uh, so me make a joke about thome the old baseclogging bum who was done three years ago and that's why the phillies traded him and the sox should, too
is me looking to belabor a point? not really. it’s a joke. ha ha. funny. you know, how like i and probably others said “trade him!” every time dye hit a home run last year?
i blame juan uribe
Sorry lar, that's D-grade sophistry
Cheat, lock him up in a chat room with SouljaBoy until he works his way out of this slump.
''It's a grinder-type attitude, energetic attitude, confident-type attitude, and if it grinds on some people, then I need to know who those people are so we can move them on''
I know you aren't talking to me
But was the point of contention that OC’s glove is average? I’d have to go along with you there. And it is frustrating to have traded Garland for a SS and still have Uribe in the lineup and have the best SS on the field at 2B. But if the Sox get 2 picks, at least that’s something….
by hitlesswonder on Apr 24, 2008 10:25 PM CDT up reply actions
The point is that his glove was below average two years ago
Somehow he got this rep that he’s some slick gloveman.

THOMER!!!
Move over Mr. Cub.
Does Jimmy now have the 3rd most HR of any Chicago player?
Is this Floyd kid for real?
...almost seems like he’s got a plan…
The plan:
To cut the lead to one.

Eh....
Perhaps my standards are low…but Floyd giving up 5ER in 6 against New York with the rain delay really isn’t bad. Sure I’d like more, but this was a typical AL 5th starter outing. I’m happy it wasn’t worse.
Now I await the bullpen gving up 9 runs in 3 innings…..

another 2-3 runs before I am comfortable with this game.
Are you suggesting...
they pinch hit for Alexei? Get Juany back in there?

ozzie sure likes to take a reliever and change them
he better explain to scott what those two guys in gray are doing out on the field already. not sure he’s familiar with the concept of “inherited runners.”
i blame juan uribe
Gah.
Is there any way we can change the number system so there is never two outs for the Yankees? One out, one out, three outs, maybe?

The worst part is that when the Sox pull this out tonight,
Floyd won’t get the win again.
Shit.
really? that's what the worst part will be? really? not that the bullpen couldn't hold a lead again?
Blood has been shed, Jerry.
by Toonderstrook on Apr 24, 2008 10:52 PM CDT up reply actions
Well they're synonymous of each other aren't they?
My point is that I hate when a starter leaves with a lead and the BP gives it up.
they could be similar, but what you said sounded like the worst thing was that floyd won't get that W in his stat line.
Blood has been shed, Jerry.
by Toonderstrook on Apr 24, 2008 10:56 PM CDT up reply actions
if you weren't so quick to flame me
you might figure out that I was just feeling bad for Floyd.
Really.
so you were just feeling bad for floyd? i'm more concerned (worst thing) that the bullpen blew it again than the starter's ego
especially when he didn’t pitch that well anyway.

This extended bullpen collapse...
...reminds me of last year. When’s the last game the bullpen actually did its job? Seems like it has been a while.
They need a hazardous material squad to check out the Sox bullpen.
Something has been planted out there that’s caused an inability to throw strikes.
Pitching and defense.
There were 2 outs 12 minutes ago
Pitching and defense.
Yeah...
Farnsworth’s on!

two questions from a new comer

(2) We’re in central time zone, why use PDT here?
Bitch is no good word.
What does ‘SonuvaBitch’ mean? Not understand.
The Sox DID in fact pull this out
And it’s STILL too bad Floyd doesn’t get the win.

Good lord you guys comment too much. My computer did not want to make it down to the end to actually comment.
So how long until Ozzie benches Urine for the Cuban Missile Crisis?
Uribe actually looks like he is simply hacking as hard as he can at every pitch and guessing fastball everytime. He is missing pitches by half a foot. If the Sox aren’t going to send Ramirez down to AAA to play everyday, may as well see what he can do at the big league level at 2B. But now with Dye out for a few days (possibly longer), Uribe will likely stay at 2B and Ramirez will get more time in CF. I hope to God they don’t call up Owens.
