QUOTE(CWSOX45 @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 08:33 PM) I think the guy we need to go for is Omar Vizquel. He's exactly what we need. Contact hitter, speed, great defense. Uribe could be moved to the bench. Hell, I'm willing to bet we could trade Uribe FOR Vizquel.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 08:27 PM) Teams with the marquee players were asking for a ton (Griffey, Wagner, Huff, Guardado, Burnett). Jim Hendry must have naked pictures of the Pirates GM, because he sure got Matt Lawton for cheap. Lawton would have been the perfect addition to this team. Wasn't Rogowski the only "major" minor leaguer involved in rumored Junior deal? If that was an actual deal and it went through, it would of been the steal of the century. The owner may of nixed it cuz he wanted more, so my point is moot.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 08:29 PM) No, it probably just gives the Indians more momentum. I just can't believe how flat we're playing. About as flat as a little girl.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 08:26 PM) BTW, our good friend Lew Ford put the Twins ahead 7-4 with a 3 run homer. This is a lot of fun! I'd like to think the fact that our lead will be in single digits after tonight would spark us, but I doubt it.

If I see Timo leading off tomorrow, I'm charging the dugout and strangling Ozzie. ANYBODY but Timo could lead off. Rowand, Iguchi, I know they are not ideal lead off guys, but they have to be a better option. Play Anderson in LF.

Timo's going yard.

Crede swinging at flies again. His head was looking to the outfield as he missed that pitch.

QUOTE(CWSOX45 @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 08:15 PM) What pisses me off is how garland and our pitchers pitch their asses off, like tonight and in the 16 inning game against the twins, and our offense can't push a damn run across the plate when we need it most... CWSOX45 Our picthing blew that game.

All in all, 7 IP and 2ER for Jon. Can't ask for too much more. Unfortunatly a shutout is needed to win these days.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 08:08 PM) Corpseball in recent years was better than this offensive slump. There was a lot more talent in our lineups the last few years. Any word on how long PK will be out? Bet he plays tomorrow.

How is Rowand hitting .280? Am I missing something?

Aaron swings at the 1st pitch. Go figure.

What the hell is that white thing boucing in the outfield? A HIT??? OMFG!

Sit down, AJ. It was right down the middle.

I like our philosophy. Take fastballs down the middle. Swing at s*** out of the zone.

4 pitches by Moose, 4 swings by us.

Let's do a 3 way deal with Giants and Reds, we get Griffey and Omar. Who cares what they get.

Away, Away, Away.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Seems like we always get beat by scrubs rather than stars. I.E. Matt Lecroy and the has been Bernie Williams now.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 07:33 PM) At this rate the magic number will only go down because of Cleveland losing games. Sad ain't it.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 07:33 PM) Indians just tied the game at 4 in the 8th inning. f***! Damn, that was quick.

Come on, Jon! Get tough!

Dye doing his matador impersonation. O LAY!
