Is Ozzie on to something or is he just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic?

For those of us pining for fundamentals coaching like the Twinkies

it seems that their fans aren’t so high on the team’s defensive abilities either. The comments about their double play duo seem to echo a lot of sentiments about Cabrera and Uribe around here.

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

Yep

Garret Anderson is still a poor outfielder—I was surprised when AJ only got a single on his flare

How was AJ not on 2nd base on that hit?

He should’ve scored on that DP, instead he’s on 3rd now.

Garrett Anderson practically fell into the stands, and on top of that he throws LH

Anderson was shading him toward the line

and the ball had a spin on it such that it took a nice hop straight back towards him…

After AJ’s two double to right on Vlad the other night, I don’t think we should complain about his judgement

by The Wizard on May 14, 2008 9:19 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

the ball bounced practically into the stands

and Anderson was leaning halfway over the rail. On top of that he throws LH, so he’d have to pivot to get the throw in – and on top of that he sucks and can’t throw.

I'm more afraid of that trade being looked on like the AJ to SF trade

I noticed it a couple weeks ago – was ripped on it. I guess we’ll see at the end of the season how it starts to shake out.

Gio looks like he is going through an adjustment period in AAA

He has been getting knocked around a bit & his K rate is much lower.

Not that I wish him not to have success

But I would like the trade to be in KW’s favor. So hopefully Swish works through this and I could care less what the others do (not that it matters what they do at this point anyways).

Down in Charlotte...

Crazy game -

Syracuse scored 7 runs in the 6th inning and 9 runs in the 7th (off Egbert, Day, Oneli Perez, and Matt Anderson) en route to an 18-6 victory over the Knights.

Chris Getz went 4-for-4, connecting for his 5th homer and drawing a walk.

The bad thing about wasting all this good pitching

is that the Sox have avoided injuries so far. If they need to call up someone like a Getz or some other chump they have in the minors…fuggedaboutit

larry disagrees with me...

But I still think that Getz is a better option than Pablo Ozuna or Alexei Ramirez, at least in the short run.

Even Ozzie Guillen has seemingly recognized that those two aren’t providing anything right now.

I think that Getz can do what Richar did last year. Not that that’s a whole lot, but it’s something.

by The Jerry Royster Experience on May 14, 2008 10:02 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Why rush Getz though?

I just don’t understand the immediate need for another mediocre second baseman.

Let him stay in AAA and try to figure out lefties a little.

The problem with this team is not Uribe, Ozuna or Ramirez. It’s Swisher, Konerko, and Thome.

Looks like it, at least somewhat.

He seemed to be alerting Contreras Hunter was off. Also, the Angels broadcasters said that Hunter stole one of his bases by running before the pitch this year, so perhaps Cabrera notified him to hold the ball for longer.

Or maybe it was all coincidental.

This team has digressed from last year....

My god, what if the pitching starts failing.

by Los Soxos on May 14, 2008 11:10 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Hopefully they'll get back on topic

The Sox are better than last year just because of Danks and Q.

If they digressed

wouldn’t they be lackadaisically taking up football or something?

Uribe hit that ball as if it was a pinata filled with delicious candy.

Oh my god...

I truly believe Cabrera does not want to be on this team. He does not like Ozzie or Chicago, if only we can trade him.

Hey Uribe is on a tear....

was at .163 on May 2nd…..now he’s up to .205.

And I think we'll take that.

Angels broadcast booth:

“Here’s the better spot—Pierzynski hits a lot of flyballs, so it’s a difficult task to get him to hit the ball on the ground. Quentin, a little bit more of a younger hitter, not as disciplined as Pierzynski is. It’s the right move.”

Easy to question in retrospect, but...

...you’re absolutely correct. Some managers are so by the book that if a righty were pitching, they’d walk 1996 Mike Caruso to face 1994 Frank Thomas.

That was a stupid call but his team still won the first two games of the series...

and if you want to see Ozzie make the exact same stupid decisions, re-watch the Yankees series from earlier this season when he IBB’s guys left and right to get to Abreu, who killed us everytime.

Now we need to rid of Swisher and bring up Owens....

Also we scored 4 runs without recording an out.

That is really full of awesome.

From Cowley:

Oh my goodness, Hawk just kissed D.J. on the Angels “Kiss Cam.” Time to get out of L.A. ASAP.

"Walkie, you're doing a heck of a job."

by thecip on May 14, 2008 11:31 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

it was pretty fuckin funny

but a really odd kiss cam sequence. they went back to the same couple that must have been related or “just friends” like 3 times, stayed on an old couple way too long, plus some woman whose left profile was ok and then when she turned to her man showed a big surgical coverup of her right eye.

the last “couple” was hawk and dj. at first they didn’t realize it, then hawk did what could only be described as making out with dj’s temple. both of them turned beet red. dj looked really embarrassed. hilarious.

We’ll miss Lincecum in SF.

Sanchez, Zito, Cain vs. Floyd, Buehrle, Danks.

So then…

Contreras, Vazquez, Floyd vs Cleveland.

About as good a result as I could've hoped for

I have Lackey on one of my fantasy teams, so 7 solid innings from him AND STILL a White Sox winner makes me a happy man.
