Wow. All you can say. Yukk. DP.

Castro is indeed uh ... lousy. I'm convinced our hitters are snakebit. Gordon just took a MEATBALL. Hit the f***ing meatballs. Then he swings at something in the dirt. We are snakebit.

We need some solo home runs; 3 to be exact. If we get blanked Oz needs to go off again. Maybe it'll work the second time in 2 nights. hasn't exactly worked thus far.

Olivo woulda been a good backup catcher all these years. Who did we trade him for? Our backup catchers have sucked big time.

Mark hasn't been so good since perfection. Had a couple good starts, though, but nothing to write home about.

That should be enough to trip the Sox unless the bats awaken. Olivo burns former team again.

Fire everybody.

I'm not a Walker hater but my gosh, KC's starting pitching other than Zack pretty much sucks. Let's score some f***ing runs.

Maybe we'll never score again.

That was a meatball. That shoulda been a base knock. Meat baby, meat.

Nice round of applause for the base hit. Attaboy Wise. Now if you steal, make sure you are safe!!!

When are our bats gonna awaken?

I guess a ring is a ring, but he won't be contributing much to it ... unless he's DH in the Series in the AL parks.

How's big Jim Thome been doing in LA? Anybody have his exact stats? How can he be happy pinch hitting?

Neither one of those guys will be sad next season. They will join teams and I believe they'll do well. Bobby isn't finished. Neither is Dye. Dye is in the most puzzling slump in history; Bobby has still had his moments of greatness this year. Somebody would be wise to pick both of them up.

I think so only because it's the smart percentage play. Maybe not in the 10th inning, but certainly in the 13th inning when you can't score a run. I wouldn't have a problem with him bunting in the 10th, but I see your point. You wouldn't have Pujols bunt. But it's all moot anyway cause I believe CQ is one of our guys who can't bunt. He'd foul two of 'em off then hit. What if it's Pods getting on base in the 10th and Beckham next? Tie game. Gordon should also move him over. They walk the next hitter and now you have two outs to get a hit and win it at home. A winning team delivers that hit. A team like ours this year strands the runner and it doesn't matter anyhow. But in tie games late, sometimes bunts are in order IMO. I trust Oz to have a feel for the game and know when to call for one.

I show up after wins, too. Give me a break. I watched the entire extra innings of the Mariners game and wanted us to win. I'm serious with my question. We never talk about the Twins and they are about ready to play for the marbles. They are only four back in loss column and get to play the Tigers. I really was curious if people though Det would lose out to the Twinks.

Maybe it's the curse of centerfield at the Cell and we need to bring out a picture of Aaron Roward to cf and burn it. Nobody has done anything in cf since Aaron. Pods falls all over himself when he's out there. Every fly ball is an adventure. Rios, who had a fair track record, can't buy a base hit now that he's in cf here. Wise draws venom from all fans when he's out there, the catch notwithstanding. BA's career ruined by his inability to hit while playing cf for us. Is it a curse??? Time to exorcise the cf demons at the Cell. Rios' career is at stake otherwise.

To those of you who hate the bunt let me at least ask your take. It's the 10th inning in tie game. We are at the Cell and AJ gets on base. Do you want CQ to bunt him over? The answer should be yes. The odds of scoring him from second with one out are in theory pretty damn good at that point if you can bunt him over. Now the answer is no if CQ can't bunt the damn ball like most big leaguers. Most can't bunt. In a tie game in extras, why wouldn't you bunt? I just think Oz wants guys to be able to bunt the times we need a f***ing bunt. He's not going to bunt a lot in the AL. People are panicking. With a power hitting team, he's not going to be giving up outs early. He knows baseball.

I'm big on the season Mark and Danks has had. Educate me on Floyd. Has he been just as nasty? I know his record is something like 12-12. The games I've watched he hasn't been as good as Mark/Danks.

Both equallly. People take closers for granted. Bobby has been way more reliable and excellent than alll our middle relievers/set up guys who get a free pass when they suck (except for the much hated Liney). Bobby rules!!! Bobby will be missed. You wait.

You think the Twins will overtake Detroit? Will the Sox win all six vs. Detroit? Stay tuned.

I don't know about this quit stuff, although tonight Ozzie I guess mentioned the guys have quit on him. I think everything you say about the Cubs you could say about the Sox. I don't know why you give them the beneift of the doubt as far as not quitting while saying our team quit. Jermaine I don't think is trying to make outs and look this bad; ditto Rios. Bobby I don't think quit tonight when he grooved those pitches; same with Liney. Liney just sucks and Bob is no longer an automatic save. I dispute you saying we quit and the Cubs haven't quit. I don't know how you come up with that. The Cubs have played and lost to some horses*** teams of late as well.

Give it to Zack. That ERA is unheard of.

If Oz really promised a lot of changes as was in Cowley's brief item, he's going to have to play Flowers somewhere.
