Whitewashed in '05

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 8, 2005 -> 06:11 PM) Our pitching can be as good as ever...but if we can't consistently score 4 runs against teams like the Red Sox, Yankees, Rangers, and A's.....we're going to have a hell of a team trying to beat them at the Cell with the ball flying out. Our offense has to wake up, they might not seem like it now but I just have a feeling our offense will step it up.

Our offense looks horrible but our pitching can match anyone, I doubt the sox are going to lie down and die for these teams. We have played equally tough teams and I highly doubt Ozzie will let them lie down. Have some f***ing confidence people, they will atleast go .500.

The sox have to do something, we have some players who can smoke Mussina. Hopefully Duke settles down and gives our sox a chance.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 8, 2005 -> 05:47 PM) And winning a game on August 8th would give you that? I hope our players aren't mental midgets like that. Going into the playoffs confident you can win because you beat them before isn't really a bad thing.

I believe one of them has to win it. If one of them doesn't its bs. As for Zito, he had a mediocre 1st half, the only way for him to win it is if he has like a 1 ERA from the 2nd half until the end of the season kind of like Santana last year.

16 for JG, what a badass he has been. Next up are the Yankees, potential playoff preview. Go get em .

Alright, great time to get a winning streak going. Hopefully Pods can get back to form on those Yankee pitchers and hoping Everett comes back. Good job Aaron, Garland, and PK. im out.

QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 7, 2005 -> 03:25 PM) Thought it was gone. Yeah really.

HOLY CRAP!

Marte scares me....

QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 7, 2005 -> 03:07 PM) Jaque Jonnes K'd on 3 pitches. Whats new??

I didn't even think about Jons pitch count and it wasnt too high either. cool.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 7, 2005 -> 02:53 PM) Yeah, I thought we were talking about if Everett is out for an extended period. Oh please I don't even wanna think of our situation if he did go down. Hopefully he comes back hot too cause we need him to.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 7, 2005 -> 02:48 PM) Great time for Pods to break out of his massive slump right here. Please no strike three looking! :headshake We need Spod to get his head straight.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 7, 2005 -> 02:45 PM) You don't get much worse than Timo at DH. As we talked about last night. As a late-inning PH, he's good. As a starter, he's absolutely pathetic. Well when Everett gets back he won't be DH and I still wouldn't wanna see Borch.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 7, 2005 -> 02:39 PM) I'd rather have Borchard at DH rather than Timo. At least if Borchard hits it hard, it's likely a homer. Even when Timo has been hitting the ball hard recently, it's right at someone. He's like 3 for his last 25. I don't know man, Borch is horrible.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 7, 2005 -> 02:29 PM) Borchard will get the call-up before Anderson will. :puke I said we need hits not homers and K's.

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Aug 7, 2005 -> 12:47 PM) What's missing?!?! The H in IGUCHI! Yeah I was messing around with some stuff and it disappeared. Comon guys any tips?

I am eager to see what Anderson can do once called up, we need some hits and hopefully he can contribute.

There we go, put some good ab's together and he can get a little wild.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 7, 2005 -> 02:01 PM) The lefties were the two that got on, and that's cause they get a much better look at Harris. I'm not trying to steal SSI's thunder....but with this guys slider, our righties are going to keep flying out trying to pull the outside pitch. True but with this being this guys first start in the big leagues he could get unraveled easily with a walk and few hits.

I didn't expect much the first time through the lineup but he got in a little trouble earlier with 2 guys on so I expect them to do better this time.

:headshake Hopefully the sox heard this and give Garland an easy victory today. :fyou

QUOTE(knightni @ Aug 7, 2005 -> 11:03 AM) When did Hermie get leprosy? im trying!!

I am making myself a new sig, its almost done (I think) but theres something missing, any ideas on what I should correct or add?? Also, I need to put in some text but I don't know how to do it making it look like stones or rocks forming words, or something similar to the style the sox use for "win or die trying." Thanks. Now that I look at it on here...it looks a little too big.
