One thing about this Stairs. He will give you a short quick swing...(pause) most of the time.

WTF is that supposed to mean Hawk. That was profound.

"The little things are always in my mind," he said. "I always like to move the guy over, I like to bunt."

I want Erstad back

I know what we’re missing. It’s that edge, that grind.

no, please

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

Might as well

Looks the same, might as well have the same cast of characters. He was much more fun to be hating on then OCab.

Considering TDog...

Of course...

He did a very profound statistical analysis, using indispensable statistics such as BA and K.

Is it possible that Thome is just done?

No one is afraid of him these days. Throw any lefty at him and he is gone.

Do we want to pick up his option for next year?

Uh, no. Cut bait on him like Toronto did with Frank, why be stuck with him.

Hawk seems to be handling this a lot better than last year.

Crede must have a deathbed migraine going on...

that he couldn’t even pinch-hit over the utter garbage known as Ozuna.

by SSH2005 on May 5, 2008 8:50 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Seriously

Can Pablo be dropped from the roster now? He brings no unique skills to the lineup—the Sox already haave a bunch of other players that make outs.

13 man pitching staff, 12 position players

Your starting pitchers are on a hellacious run of awesome pitching, but you gotta have that 13th pitcher.

Then of course BA pinch runs, that leaves AJ and a brain-damaged Joe Crede on the bench and Pablito at the plate.
Well, we’ll make it back on the West Coast trip.

Well, if you wonder why any kind of injury would be devastating

Tonite was Exhibit A. The dropoff from starter to bench is ridiculous.

Imagine a DL trip.

And Crede wasn’t lighting it up this past 2 weeks anyway, at the plate or in the field (6 errors?).

Thin. Fields would’ve been a nice alternative toinight.

Cheat,

Your earlier Ozuna stat (pre tonight),

“he’s hit just .239/.271/.313 with 4 stolen bases in the last 22 months.”, is mind boggling. Can we email it to KW, Ozzie, et al?
