Well, this should give all you "let's get rid of Cliffy" crowd some hope, because he about HAS to pitch pretty soon (and if he's not, Ozzie has no faith either)... if BMAC can get through one more inning.

QUOTE(G&T @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 11:52 PM) Pablo grounds into a miracle DP. Grounds to 3rd, Lowell makes the catch and steps on the bag at the same time, then throws to first. This team can't possibly win this game. Yep - I hear you on that one. You have to score with 2 on, no one out, in the 17th damn inning. At LEAST get to third.

this sounds strange, but we have to MAKE something happen. Mack should go for third. If he gets thrown out, big deal.

ok, BASE HIT! THAT'S IT! BASE HIT!!

I can't watch this game... but one thing that is apparent, the small ball inning is what will win, not a walkoff?

Well fathom, is it your turn to be a hero?

Dye just park this bastard about 10 rows deep. Please?

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 11:25 PM) lol. Even Kap can't stand Cliffy. Kap is as optimistic as they come (except for Jphat) most of the time. Um... We need to frame this post for posterity.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 11:25 PM) 100 pages in game thread = win? Start posting, you lazy ass.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 11:24 PM) We could use a clutch Timo Perez hit right now. Touche.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 11:22 PM) Now. I agree, it's time. Right here, right now.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 11:22 PM) That quick inning probably means an extra inning before Cliffy would come in. Oh god heads, don't go there. Please don't go there.

It will be over this inning. One way or the other.

You smell something? ...

QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 10:42 PM) matt thornton is currently in the 5th year of a 10 year 252 million dollar contract. Nice.

Trot entered the day hitting .322... down to .313 on a 0-7 day. Ouch.

Mr. Thornton has been HUGE for us. Thornton>>>>>>>>Borchard

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 09:30 PM) I said it in a thread somewhere a day ago.

QUOTE(Big Hurtin @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 08:49 PM) Why are they doing it?, no clue. Why do I think it's a bad idea? You don't want an incident on a plane, and I think their might be some trash talking after this weekend. You don't know how athletes really are then. Edit... professionals are generally just that away from the game.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 02:57 PM) Good. At least we know that the organization isn't content with the pitching we have right now. We all know it. Fans, management, owners, etc. We don't have that same edge we did last year. It's not to say that we won't get it back, but ... we need to find the MOJO. This is eerily similiar to last year, didn't we get swept in the series before the ASB? I can't remember exactly.

QUOTE(quickman @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 02:48 AM) Ok I agree, but I don't want to be 6 games back when they start to slide. If we leave Detriot two games back, its time to celebrate. tigers up 2-1 and rallying. Seattles defense is horrible. quickman's point is right on. We need to keep them in range. Not that we need to take them over in the standings right now, but as we 'struggle' we need to keep the team in front of us right in range and not let it get too far out of hand.

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 01:52 AM) My impression was that China wanted North Korea to survive so it would be one more distraction to keep the Americans from paying attention to Taiwan. That's part of it. Good call.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Jul 7, 2006 -> 08:14 PM) Yup. And worse, Obrador has said "It is clear that there was manipulation", and called for a large rally. A peaceful 'let the courts work' message? Depends who you talk to. Going to court is fine, but Obrador has left himself no room to concede defeat, which is just shameful. I think I said about 10 posts back - this is Hugo Chavez II. It ain't good. If this doesn't get settled QUICKLY, we're going to see a coup. I'm not kiddding. That will be nice, right on our doorstep.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Jul 7, 2006 -> 02:50 PM) No that's Staten Island. ZING!

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 7, 2006 -> 02:56 PM) Why do people keep saying that? I don't rememer Jose's ERA being over 5 at any point last year. Stats don't mean s***. People were calling for his ass because of the same damn reasons I see in this thread, stats excluded. Sox fans are very fickle about their players and always demand more, screw the 9 wins, he SUCKS, get rid of him!!!!!! Hell yes, he's been inconsistant (main point of thread). People were saying the same thing about JC this time last year.
