Nice job, Jose. Don't worry, get 'em next time. It's just a loss, no big deal. Nothin' like prayin' that the D-Backs will take care of the Twins tonight because we couldn't get the job done on our own.

THIS IS OZZIE'S FAULT!!!!!!!!!!

And no matter what you believe, the Sox are STILL in 1st place and it STILL only counts as 1 loss. Ridiculous.

This is on Jose, no doubt about it. He just doesn't have it and hasn't had it for the last 3-4 starts now. Probably not a coincedence that the weather has heated up around baseball, and the bats are getting a bit looser

 

If Jose sh*ts the bed in his next start, I think we can pretty much stick a fork in him

And no matter what you believe, the Sox are STILL in 1st place and it STILL only counts as 1 loss. Ridiculous.

And no matter what you believe, they had a 6.5 game lead 1.5 weeks ago and now it's down to 3.

 

YAY for:

Swinging at balls

Taking the first pitch fastball right down the middle

Swinging at the first pitch slider in the dirt

Swinging for the lake, the pinwheels, downtown, etc.

Taking your pitcher out after only 85 pitches

Taking your pitcher out after giving up 9 ER

4-7 in our last 11. Today's loss wouldn't be so bad if not for yesterday's debacle. I hope these players show some pride tomorrow.

Can't fault the offense. Seven runs should win majority of games.

 

When people suggest individual players don't lose games, remember Contreras today. He lost the game.

 

Better win tomorrow. Atleast have your pride and win a game, keep MInnesota off your back, and show the national audience you deserve to be a first place team.

Why didn't a coach trot out to give him a breather instead of just watch him get wrecked. I haven't seen where a pitcher just gets mowed over for all those runs, and a pitching coach doesnt come out.

I don't know, really. It happened fairly quick. And Cooper, if anyone, deserves to be absolved of blame. Contreras' forkball was like a Kirk Sarloos hanging slider.

i dont blame the offense. 11 hits and 7 runs should win 80% of your games. Unfortunately, Contreras sucks ass.

Jose's last 4 starts before today.

 

vs. Colorado, 6.2 innings, 3ER

vs. Detroit, 6 IP, 6 ER

vs. KC, 7IP, 1 ER

 

Detroit was bad. That is it.

I don't think Coop was fixing anything, its called stalling so your bullpen can get loose. We took way too long to get someone up. And waited until it was beatdown time.

Kevin. But today was worse.

Kevin. But today was worse.

Oh yeah, Kevin. My bad.

 

I think the main difference is that Slowey was getting hit hard, where as the Cubs just 1st-and-3rd'ed Jose to death. The wind plays a huge factor into the HR's as well. Ramirez's ball barely cleared that stupid f***ing basket.

and ozzie really screwed jose over in the detroit game by having him pitch to cabrera with first base open, then leaving him out to die in the 7th....im ok with jose, but the discouraging thing has been his stuff IMO...he hasnt looked good stuff wise for a few starts...and in addition ozzie leaves him in wayy toooo long...it was so obvious when it was 4-4 that we needed someone warming up at very least and ozzie is just stubborn and always looks for 6 from the starters almost no matter what

LOL

 

LOL

 

if he can't throw his forkball, he isn't effective

 

it's a pretty simple concept, about as simple as your response.

Wind or no, 3 hrs in one inning means you're getting hit hard. And those weren't seeing-eye singles. Almost every one was a line drive.

We've seen this before with Guillen. It was still fairly early in the game, and even though Contreras had nothing, Guillen was going to leave him out (for the opportunity to win). When Ramirez hit the HR, he had his hand forced.

If these are the quality of posts I'm going to see then I guess I'll just log off Soxtalk for a little while until everybody gets all this bulls*** out of their system.

Well... tonight's AZ-MN game has Brandon Webb going against Livan Hernandez.

 

If Minnesota wins this game, then you know the baseball gods are messing with us.

 

when that wind is blowing out...we absolutely have to bust their guys inside...lee, ramirez and edmonds all have classic hriniak approaches at the plate ....thankfully i think vazquez has the capability of getting inside on em...i also wish ozzie knew when to take a starting pitcher out and when to leave him in

I love Guillen diminishing Edmonds' HRs in the post game show. Basically said he just had a good day, nothing more; and he rather pitch to him as a .218 hitter than Soriano any day. If he hits a HR, good for him.

 

It was funny because the reporters probably expected Guillen to give a flavorless answer about the Edmonds acquisition being so good for them, and he didn't have any of it.
