The lineup's wrong

Crede’s been scratched. Ozuna in his place

maybe crede reads the site and logic's murder made him too emotional to play.

Repeat after me: reading comprehension, even a little bit of thought before posting, and basic research are not signs of weakness.

maybe crede reads the site and

it was logic’s murder that gave him the migraine.

Well, Logic's murder has made me too emotional to watch

so I can see Crede’s point of view

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

Great

We have 3 automatic outs again at the bottom of the order. So much for “shaking up” the lineup. It still looks abysmal at the bottom…

Over 3 runs

and Javy shuts them down through 8.

What's this about the Sox and blow-up dolls?

They’ve been talking about it for the last 15 minutes on the radio and I still don’t follow. Is the blow-up doll really leading off tonight?

gonna out-energy a lot of guys, simply by over-attituding them

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

OCab leads off - but riddle me this Riddler, who plays "handle the bat" now?

Quentin ain’t got the right skillz, he can’t bunt so he’s a temporary fix. Right now is when we really miss Erstad. Or Eckstein even – Gibbons is a moron batting him 9th, everyone knows he plays leadoff.

Hopefully we can put the 1950s slappy's bunting follies on hold

I assume this is similar to putting Fields in the 2 hole last year. Get him more fastballs, let him loose. If this is an idea to take the OPS leader on the team and turn him into a bunting, slappy, hitter. Then Ozzie will get torched.

Do you miss Podsednik too and his .343 .477 .486?

I had to blink when I saw that line, but the Rockies are using him primarily as bench player/4th outfielder.

Blow-up sex toys

if they were Walker’s idea, I say let him keep his job.
Though thank the lord Fields wasn’t there to see them.

Remember Timo Perez' XXL Rally Panties helped stop the 8 game skid in '05

or maybe they extended the skid. I think they came out after game 6 or so…

This lineup sucks

keep swisher at #1 and move OC down…at least

by circles on May 5, 2008 6:09 PM CDT reply reply   0 recs

thome shouldn't be hitting #3

Thome hitting to leftfield

I like that! 9 pitches 4 batters inning over. Why don’t we ever look at pitches and make the pitcher work?

by floridajim on May 5, 2008 6:13 PM CDT reply reply   0 recs

The lineup shakeup worked...

Konerko grounded out to second base instead of shortstop. That’s a change!

Don’t worry, he’ll hit a solo HR next time up!

this is the inning they explode

Quentin was probably put in the second spot so he’d hit a solo shot and we could get ahead of them early. Then he grounds out to short! Pathetic!

by SoxfaninAZ on May 5, 2008 6:18 PM CDT reply reply   0 recs

pathetic. They should DFA him!

Designate For Assignment.

It’s a way to remove a player from the roster if you want to get rid of him or you’re out of options.

What a pitiful effort from Cabrera

and then Uribe stays on third. Who is coaching these guys?

Great

Uribe had to add 30 lbs in the offseason. He should have scored on that. Fuck, he should have scored on Orlandos grounder. In 98% sure we get out of the inning with no runs, it’s sad when you have NO confidence in the heart of your lineup scoring men with 2 outs.

Was the fly by Quentin hit so shallow that Uribe could’nt challenge the OF?

by SoxfaninAZ on May 5, 2008 6:49 PM CDT reply reply   0 recs

No

It was hit probably middle depth. Any average speed player would have scored, and the throw was 10 feet up the line and back. Even Thome would have scored on that throw.

by JoeCoolMan24 on May 5, 2008 6:56 PM CDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

uh, no

and the throw being up the line is hindsight.

Came after the fact that he stopped, but Im saying even if he did run, he would have had it easily.

you realize that's alex rios out there?

you know, the alex rios with, like, one of the best outfield arms in the game? maybe you’re mistaking him for ex-sox player armando rios.
