I honestly couldn't imagine booing any player at a game for even the stupidest of plays. It's completely onanistic and--I believe--counterproductive. Now, if someone was acting like an asshole (let's say, throwing at a batter's head or trying to pick a fight), I'd boo.

Concerning umpires, on the other hand . . .

[phan]

yep...booing your own team is retarded unless somebody is doing something incredibly unsportsmanlike or blatantly lazy.

I'm really not sure why we haven't DFA'd him yet.

[phan]

has there been any talk that moving him to 6th is likely helping his as a hitter as it's forcing him to be more patient and not just look first pitch fast ball all the time?

[funkster]

He sucks.

Len said earlier he's not really swinging at the first pitch this year. I think this is all Rudy's doing...

He was saying "Boo-urns"

Can we DFA Ramirez instead?

I don't know if this needs its own thread, but I was listening to Kaplan's post game show on WGN and he said that Ramirez has refused to work with Rudy on his hitting. It's not that he has a problem with Rudy but that he feels he is a veteran hitter and he should be able to work out his problems himself. Again, this is according to Kaplan, for what that's worth.

Maybe once his BA drops below .100, he will take some help.

If true (doubtful) then Lou needs to put his boot up Rami's ass.

If it's from Kaplan, it isn't worth much.

[Fella]

yeah sounds like bullshit to me. Everything I've ever heard and seen about Rammy is that he is a quiet, easy going guy. Doesn't seem like the type to refuse to work with a hitting coach. Some guys on the team I might believe it, but not Aramis.
