Yeah -- I'm always looking for a way to get Willie and his .158/.200/.211 ass vs. LHP into the lineup

THere was 900,000 fans stretched along the 10 mile course of Alpe d'Huez today.

How is this even a question... Drive your car up a mountain and see how tired you are... Now ride your bike up that same mountain... Case closed

Remember the Trib article about us "falling towards third" even though we were only 2 back of the twinks, and 2 ahead of the tribe... While the Cubs were only a game up on the Brew crew.... I wonder if they run an article about the thrid place cubs tomorrow... Nope.... They probably wont even run the division standings anymore... just the wild card standings....

get this f***ing out.....

back to the original question... does Izzy plunk a guy w/ 2 out in the 9th.... If not this is carrying over to next year.

Pile it on b****es!!!!!!!!!

The above post is classix.... Boardering on Jeckle-type hilarity right there.

Yeah -- this was a guy who nearly pulled a Bill Gramatica on the mound in the third innnig today, where he had already given up a HR, and gave the lead to the redbirds. What a f***ing assmunch.

As said in another thread, he'll have to be put on the 40-man roster first... And then if we are in contention, I can't really see them handing him the ball in a key situation... If he's up, it's as a reward for the good season in the minors, and to face some real major leaguers in mop-up duty.

Somebody is going to pay tomorrow... The ninth inning wasn't the place to do it... Not when it puts the winning run at the plate... LaRussa is notorious for having pitchers retaliate... There will be retrobution.. Nine games down b****es!!!!

Yeah do a search for Jurassic Carl, and you'll come up with a bunch of hits on RedSox sites.

More importantly, did anyone notice that since it was very close to not being a HR Carlos actually ran....

The Sox gave up two guys who had no future in the Organization, for a guy who should help them win games down the stretch... Jurassic's Win Shares = 1.8 -- Rauch's Win Shares = .2 -- Net gain of 1.6 Win Shares.. WS are related to teams victories, so if carl performed at an equal level on the Sox he would have even more WS... I expect him to perform at a level comparable to last season, because he is in a pennant race. He was one of the only guys who showed any heart down the stretch last season.... He crushed the AL central, and we play 39? more games vs. the central this season... what's not to like?

That draft class is snakebit... Mauer #1 -- 2 trips to the DL in just over 1/2 season Prior #2 -- 3 (4?) trips to the DL in 2.5 years.

I was on last night... When there was 2 threads...Now that made me feel special.. Thanks for all the good wishes.

Vs. LHP Rowand CF Jurassic RF/DH Maggs dh/rf Lee lf Konerko 1b Valentin ss Uribe2b Crede 3b Catcher platoon vs. RHP Willie 2B Rowand CF Maggs DH/RF Lee LF Valentin SS Konerko 1B Jurassic RF/DH Crede 3B Catcher platoon

butchering the English language.

He actually batted better RH'ed while he was up... He also hit for a better average RH'ed in Charlotte this season, though with less power.

That's great --- He's batted .124 since then.

Yes -- He didn't even pitch THAT well in the second half last season.

#1 difference for loaiza this year -- He gives up runs immediately after we score them -- He has no stones. Today Sox 3rd -- We score 2 Oakland 3rd -- Loaiza gives up 1 Sox 6th -- We score 1 A's 6th -- Loaiza gives up 3. 7/8 vs. Angels Top 1 -- loaiza gives up 1 Bottom 1 -- We score 2 Top 2 -- Loaza gives up 1 Bottom 5 -- We score 3 Top 6 -- Loaza gives up 3 7/2 @ cubs We score 2 in 1st Loaiza gives up 1 in second, fourth, and sixth; and 2 in the third 6/27 W Sox score 9 in the first 5 innings Loaiza gives up 2 in the second and third. 6/22 vs Cleveland Sox score 8 in the first three innings Loaiza gives up 6 in the fifth... He doesn't finish the 5th. 6/17 @ florida Sox score 1 in the 5th.. Loaiza gives up one in the bottom of the 5th -- Sox lose in extras 6/11 vs ATL W Sox score 4 in the second and 1 in every inning after that. Loaiza gives up 2 in the fourth and 4 in the fifth. 6/6 @ seattle Loaiza pitches a good game 2 ER in 6.1 IP Billy Koch gives up 3 in .1IP 6/1 @ Oakland Loaiza pitches alright... Sox take him off the hook by getting to Oaklands BP... Sox lose in extras... He's won 2 games in since June 1st, and those games we won, 10-8 and 9-4.... The games he's won have been in spite of his performances.... After those two games on the left coast last time, he's been nothing short of a limp armed BP machine.

Yahoo just takes $$$

I wonder if World Record holder Tim Montgomery was tired, and that's why he finished 7th in the 100.
