greg775 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 (edited) Three hits is about right for us vs. Weaver. Wouldn't expect more than 4 w/our team, though somehow we hit Verlander on occasion. Edited August 25, 2011 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 25, 2011 -> 04:42 AM) I guess I wanted to express concern without seeming ungrateful for Humber's first-half work. Put it this way...if we go into next year with a starting rotation of Floyd, Sale, Peavy, Humber and Stewart, then we better pray that Dunn and Rios have all-star type seasons if we want to contend.

caulfield12 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 10:40 PM) How long will u be in China? Do you love it over there? Is it lucrative? I am a Journalism major so if you want to get them to make me an offer I'll listen Good luck to you over there. Seems kinda scary. Greg, Northeast/Paseo/Southeast High Schools in KC are a lot scarier than anything I've ever seen abroad. Or the KCKS School District. There are a lot of writing opportunities abroad. I've written some articles for local/regional magazines, but just for fun and to earn extra money. But there are full-time gigs, if you're willing to do some advertising/ad sales work on the side to supplement the writing part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, Humber giving us anything, ever, was and still will be a bonus. If Humber can round into a 3-4 starter on our team going into next season and be solid out there, hes already way outperformed anyone's expectations for him. Stewart isn't a front line guy either. I would hope the organization is able to understand this. The problem with this team is that the players we are paying to be our stars (Dunn, Rios, Peavy) have all been horrible. I just don't see how your takeaway from this game so far is that you're unimpressed with Stewart. Our offense has once again been inept.

Chisoxrd5 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Adam Dunn is intentionally hitting into double plays, I'm sure of it. Just strike out when there is a runner on first! The decelerating swing was never a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Sox getting worked over pretty good by Angels. This is another obvious thing that had to happen in this s*** season. We need to get that road record back to about .500 where it belongs to go with our lousy home record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure why he was left in to give up that double either, but what do I know? This game season is over anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not, except Ozzie tends to give up on games this year, probably knowing how bad the offense is better than anybody. He probably figured the 4-0 lead was in reality about 10-0. As skipper he prolly shouldn't think that way. Edited August 25, 2011 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
