Pods just doubled his SB total for the month of August.

QUOTE(Maverick0984 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 01:14 PM) we deserve this, we really do, we brought it on ourself We're reaping what we sow, were getting what we deserve? I don't get it.

Mark gives up hits so quickly Its hard to keep track of whats going on. So at what point do these games fit the 'fun bad' category..any B&B fans will know what I'm talking about.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 12:50 PM) With Pods not running anymore, its been pointless to have him out there. Gloads would be such a signficant upgrade over him. But bottom line, I want a new manager. I'm sick of tired of our motherf***ing manager putting this motherf***ing players in a position where they can't succeed (sorry about the cursing, but I love snakes on a plane). I've had it with him putting guys in a position that they can't succeed. Thats not what a good manager does, good managers do everything they can to always put there players in the best situations for them to succeed (and as a result the team succeeds). Ozzie's trashed Garland and Tracey verbally, called Bmac a piece of s*** (well pretty much stating that he isn't anything compared to what we have), he's made stupid jag comments in the media (from the Mariotti incident to all the stuff about stealing signs) and he's been a terrible manager (in terms of a baseball standpoint) yet the entire media still hoots and hollars and raves about how great he is. It really is a joke that no one in the baseball media has the guts to step up and call things like it really is (its too bad that the only one who might do it is Mariotti, but even if he were to write a spot on article, it wouldn't float over well just because of who he is). Exactly..if I wasn't so lazy and ignorant, I would've put together a post just like this one.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 12:48 PM) no mauer today, that is good news. Please pitch around Morneau the whole game. Don't let him beat us. Did you forget how Redmond just killed us last week up in the rollerdome? There is a reason why they bat that guy 3rd when he plays.

I've been requesting Gload in LF for a while now. Prancing Pods is simply not doing anything better than Gload right now.

Minnesota L. Castillo 2b N. Punto 3b M. Redmond c M. Cuddyer rf J. Morneau 1b T. Hunter cf R. White dh L. Ford lf J. Bartlett ss C. Silva SP Chi White Sox S. Podsednik lf T. Iguchi 2b J. Dye rf P. Konerko dh A.J. Pierzynski c J. Crede 3b R. Gload 1b J. Uribe ss B. Anderson cf M. Buehrle SP

Wow..my first ever game thread. You know we are bottoming out when someone starts the game thread 30 minutes before game time!

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 03:08 AM) Eh, there is no correlation. The point is just that Widger got blamed a crap load for stuff he really shouldn't have been blamed for. He was not good, but he certainly wasn't deserving of getting blamed for every crappy outing our starters had with him behind the plate. He was a sacrificial lamb in order to take some pressure off of the starters and to bring in Sandy as our next great player turned coach next season. Obviously, this wonderful idea backfired.

I see very little correlation between the two. I do however get queasy everytime Sandy gets a start. Hmm...

Well this might be the worst game I've watched all year.

QUOTE(iguchi=dank @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 10:35 PM) I don't know how you don't swing It was a quality curve ball..thats how.

Miraculous..thanks for helping us out there Nathan

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 10:25 PM) That's right...he's even worse than those numbers would suggest. I like this approach...swing at balls, and take strikes. LOL..here he comes to save the day!

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 10:23 PM) You're right, that .570 OPS post ASB is deceiving. OPS doesnt measure intangibles and grinder-ability.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 10:22 PM) I don't care if Thome can't walk, I'd rather se him bat instead of Pods this inning. If Pods K's looking, he better get booed off this field. The 15 year old girls and masses of dumb won't allow it

This has been a hilarious inning...they have rolled us to death

Would Bartlett still be in the majors if it wasn't for the games where he plays against the Sox?

bollocks

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 10:11 PM) I'd pitch out here Thank goodness ur not managing

PITCH HIM INSIDE!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(iguchi=dank @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 10:02 PM) gload would be horrible at lead off. So is Pods but we don't replace him

Example #41 why Ross Gload should be our leadoff hitter

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 09:59 PM) I like apples. I love lamp

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 09:44 PM) wendell cora killed another rally thats pretty much sums up our first few innings. There is a ridiculous amount of reoccuring themes occuring during this season... I love how Hawk gets gitty over a routine catch by Pods.
