Nah...its the squirts.

I'm sorry, but this thread is just cracking me up.

Jurassic getting out of his mini slump

Viz has been better, I'm not doubting that. My issue stems from the hits and walks he gives up. Plus I think he's struggled with inherited runners.

Mueller = HE GAWN Big Papi = HE GAWN Manny Ramirez = Groundout to Guchi Neal....YES

By the way, this makes you even cooler in my book Alex

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 01:14 PM) Yeah, but we need more than two good relievers before Hermanson. While Marte hasn't been great, he's still been decent -- and I have more confidence in him than I do in Jenks and Vizcaino. That's why, if Marte does go, Kenny needs to have a plan to replace him. Not disagreeing. IF Marte goes, than Sox need to make a heavy push for an additional reliever.

Neal >>>> Marte

One thing I notice Alex. We need to remove the images part that shows on the top right. To the right of the live chat link.

This is a winner Alex. Lets do some work with it like centering the stuff and getting the FS thing below. Than I vote for a little baseball customization of it and setting it as the default in a few weeks. Its pretty sick.

Silverish Gray is a winner. All we have to do is find a way to find a version in %'s and make it 95% width and it will be totally sick, imo. So find a way Headster (thats for Rowand44)

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 01:03 PM) What is with you and adding "ter" to everyone's name today? :headshake Rowster, I've had enough of you But we all know Gloadie the Roadie is the Sox best player

The Cottster is up in the pen.

Alex is gonna lose his tuition money on the trip.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 12:59 PM) I hate meatball so much. If the Sox pick up Burnett without giving up Contreras, I think it means the end of Viz. My best guess is that Viz and a minor leaguer or two would be packaged up for a lefty reliever to replace Marte. Count or Duque would replace Viz in the long relief role.

Jose may not of went deep, but he pitched very well in my opinion. Especially given the conditions. Now I hope Jizzcan doesn't hang his slider.

QUOTE(steiny48 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 12:58 PM) I was fortunate enough to go to game one that the Sox won and Big Klu hit two (homers). I was 11, and I think the Sox scored 11 runs! Gotta go again if they make it!!! Next time I probably will not be on this earth. Just make it a few more months....its gonna be a fun conclusion to the season By the way, welcome aboard

I can't get used to avies on the right.

The Podster with the gun...yes What the hell was he going 2 for. When I saw him round 1st I was thinking we got em.

Totally agree. I wouldn't leave him in here. Jose doesn't seem to handle high pitch counts well. However, I'm pulling for Cont. It be big if he could get this relatively quickly. I do have a decent amount of faith in Jose. If there was any one thing I'd want him to improve on (maybe even more than his control) would be for him to speed up his delivery when a runner is on. Its a given that singles or walks are turned into doubles with him on the mound.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 12:47 PM) How crazy was that homer he hit last night?? It was a good pitch to hit and all but he just flicked his wrists and the ball was gone. Such an effortless swing. It was filthy. I still can't believe people weren't willing to take him on when he got put on waivers before the start of last season. Manny is one of the best run producers of all time.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 12:46 PM) Yeah, I cry a little inside everytime I watch a Jeremy Reed web gem on BBTN. They are calling him the best young CFer in the AL. Still, with Garcia resigned it's been a good deal for us. A lot of good that's gonna do us :rolly ... until the Series that is. They are talking about letting him play SS. Rumors are he has as strong of an arm as Uribe But seriously that deal was good for both teams. The big thing is Morse is looking like a really solid player. Than there is the Reedster, I definately miss him. Had the Sox not had Anderson/Sweeney/Young I'd of felt a lot worse about it, but he's gonna be a good one and I always root for him when I see him play. Hell Dbaho and I saw Miggy hit a bomb in Anaheim and we gave him a good cheering.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 12:46 PM) I'm thinking that was probably Jose's last inning. This is where it helps to have a deep bullpen. Can go to Viz or Jenks here, then to Neal, Cliff, Hermy. Damaso if needed. Its gonna be a tough one. Sox are gonna score some more runs though. I got full faith in the club.

Count

You will also see Jenks pitch tonight. I'm worried cause Manny owns Sox pitching. I remember last years series at the cell, he had a grandslam and I think finished the series with 4 HR's, if not 5 and a gazillion RBI's. He's definately an amazing hitter. Lets finish him off Count.
