CSF Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 5 more games in that dump. I wonder if it got a bit "cooler" in the Dome during Fields & CQ's last at-bats. Danks pitched well, CQ should've had a couple of hits, and Linebrink pitched a decent 8th. Here's hoping Burls brings his best stuff again tomorrow night.

You'll be much more peaceful with what happens in the NL if you just assume Cubs will win the NL Central, and then you hope 3 good teams make it besides them in the Dodgers, Phillies, and Cardinals.

MexSoxFan#1 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 09:36 PM) I'm willing to bet that we dominate them in their new stadium, much like we dominate them at home. I'm not too sure...i haven't seen their dome come into play in their last victories against us,they just play smarter and are more fundamentally sound and Gardenhire just out manages Ozzie,but i could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnStamos Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 09:32 PM) Yes, I absolutely will criticize a guy whose job is to get a good pitch to hit and extend the game, who swings at the 1st pitch at an alarming rate. you take pitches, and you get a good pitch to hit, If you don’t get a pitch to hit, you don’t swing. AJ doesn’t this s*** all the time, I love him, but it’s true. I don't necessarily disagree with your point that AJ swings at s***ty pitches, I just hate the ridiculous assumption that the prospects we call up are going to do the job better than who we currently have. With the exception of Beckham right now, that almost never seems to be the case. As long as our catcher is hitting over .300, I don't really care what pitches he swings at.

South Side Fireworks Man Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 08:03 PM) I've been saying how bad the Alexei/Getz DP combo is all year. Getz doesn't throw hard enough to turn it, and Alexei seems tentative with his tosses to 2nd and he can't get anything on the throw to first. I don't care if it's a rookie DP combo, that doesn't mean it's not killing us this season. Spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a place on this roster, and is/can be a useful piece. I just said, I like him as a utility man, but he plays too much for my liking.

You're right though, we had just terrible hitting from the 7th inning on it seems all year. How many game winning hits have we even had at home this year? Beckham's vs the Cubs, but who else?

I just hate all the fans who know nothing about the team and pretend they are die-hards. Some guy behind us was wearing lots of Cub gear and didn't even know Gregg's name. He just said "our closer who throws from the top." Edited July 28, 2009 by maggsmaggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
