southsideirish71 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 02:00 PM) Does anyone think opposing pitchers actually look forward to starts against this team? I honestly think they might. The last time we had a good offense was the first half of 06. 05 was pretty much a bad offense who got hot in the playoffs. We have had the same thing going for the last 8 years. Lift and pull, score 10 one game, barely get hits for the next week. When you look at the end of the year we score our runs, but its not balanced. Its a combination of our GM picking up these guys, and our hitting philosophy.

caulfield12 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Did we honestly look any better against DET and KC at this point 3 years ago? I remember watching the likes of Blum and Borchard hopelessly flail away...more frustrating than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigHurt Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 It's why I always laugh when people say Ozzie is a great motivator. This is a worse level of corpseball coming down the stretch than Manuel could have ever dreamed of. 100% agreement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lost a heartbreaker in the first game, and then beat the s*** out of them the next 3 games. There was the Contreras masterpiece and Buehrle masterpiece that weekend, along with a bunch of homers.

caulfield12 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 (edited) But didn't we lose 2 of 3 against the Royals near the end of the season that final month? There was one really sloppy and frustrating game (maybe it was raining) when Buehrle was pitching...not to mention that game where we had a HUGE lead against KC and somehow blew it. That was a nightmare, waking up the next morning and seeing the final score and staring in disbelief.

The manager hasn't figured out his team cant but yet. Our manager thinks that his softball team built with linebackers is a set of dainty guys like Pierre and company.
