chiguy79 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 QUOTE (bobryansson @ Sep 14, 2010 -> 08:37 PM) The players performance, though not right now what we want, is not because they are lazy or don't care. Baseball's hard and they're playing better than most everybody. They are going to win around 90 games. They've even played well recently. Twins have just played lights out. We do have young talent. Some perspective. Hindsight is always easy. They're still my team, and I get frustrated, sure, but I love 'em. I bet they win ~87 games, 6+ .500 is not what I am looking for, especially in our division when we should be cleaning up against KC/CLE and Detroit has been a minor league team the 2nd half...and we got smoked by Baltimore. The Twins have been good and deserve the division but if we didn't hand the twins numerous head-to-head games this year we would be right there. Just another tough pill to swallow at the end of a tough year, but I give them credit for keeping it interesting this far as I like many thought it was over in June...just hate losing to the Twins. The negativity on the board is just the passion of the fan base coming out in frustration...and games like this are very frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Something about seeing Cooper's smug face as our pitchers are getting blasted really raised my blood pressure there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 03:43 AM) He'll keep playing to justify the 175k he makes per game. He can justify it just by showing up to the park and eating sunflower seeds in the dugout. Let Viciedo DH and learn how to walk. Let Flowers catch everyday and see if he can rap a few hits. Let that new guy play third every day, Morel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeavyTime Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 See what happens when you let your team swing the bat when the opposing pitcher is in trouble instead of giving him free outs and playing for a tie? I am so tired of Ozzie and his damn bunt! Be gone Oz!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 QUOTE (mcgrad70 @ Sep 14, 2010 -> 09:39 PM) Exactly what Reinsdorf wants to hear you say and it's exactly why there is no sense of urgency. He can live off 2005 for the next 2005 years. It's a shame that the standards/expectations of a big market such as Chicago are so low. We're about to miss the playoffs for the 8th time in KW's 10 years here and there's not even a whisper of him possibly losing his job. Think a 2/10 ratio would fly well in NY or Boston?

Statistically, did we have the easiest interleague schedule in all of baseball? 12 games vs Cubs, Pirates, and Nats have to get us in the running.

greg775 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 QUOTE (bobryansson @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 03:43 AM) The fact of this is true. I'm sure he'd be happy to hear it and I'm sure he will always love 2005. We all will. The implication that he, or the players, don't care is not a consequence of that, though. The players do care as much as any big league team cares. We just can't beat the Twins and we also suck overall vs. the Central. Blowout in game one of the big series.

caulfield12 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 (edited) Now entering the game, Jose Paniagua (Bread and Water) Oops, that was 2003. At least that particular season-defining series, they won the first two and then lost the last five in a row against Minnesota down the stretch.

And he makes too much to be just ordinary. yep...for as hard and unlucky as he hit the ball the first few months, he's been the exact opposite since the ASB. Balta was so freaking right about trading him when his value was high. His contract is going to be such an albatross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 s*** we might win tomorrow if we play Morel, Lilly, Flowers, Dayan and start Sale. Why not? Why give the Twins the pleasure of beating our regulars again in a big series? The scrubs might actually win. 5-11 vs. Minnie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
