Look one thing I will agree with is the glass slipper is starting to fall off the foot. That's for damn sure. But, no one is going to take this team lightly, they are being scouted this year like never before because of their early success. I think you are seeing some of that. Ozzie and the coaches need to change the approach and play the ball that got them this far. Right now, that's a been a struggle as of late, and they are reverting back to bad habits because of their lack of success the last two weeks, which makes it appear even worse. This week will be interesting, the holes are starting to really show themselves. Let's hope that something happens to shake things up... be it a trade, or a bust out type of game.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 02:08 AM) I couldn't agree with you more. Vizquel is always a tough out, and someone the opposition doesn't want to face in a big situation. I GUARANTEE you that he can hit a sac fly just as well as Uribe can. Right on. I wish we could find a way to get him here, but right now, as Cerb noted, other then Vizquel, and the two he mentioned, there just is not a hell of a lot on this year's market to make a difference.

QUOTE(Big Hurtin @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 02:05 AM) Gimme an S, Gimme an O, Gimme an X, GO SOX. Rah rah sis boom bah. Everybody's counting their chickens well before they're hatched. This team has to show me they have the intestinal fortitude to play with the big boys. I, for one, am not convinced. Yay, rah, sis, boom, bah, I hope we f***ing suck donkey dick the rest of the way just so you're right. :rolly I HATE THIS f***ING TEAM. THEY WILL CHOKE. f*** THIS. I'M GONNA b**** BECAUSE THEY SUCK. :rolly

I should say I know these games count too, but when they go head to head against the Central, they will play well. That's my point.

They'll make the playoffs. Come September, when the games count, they will come around.

QUOTE(atrain081 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 01:52 AM) I don't mean to bash the Sox here, but this roster will not bring a world series title. The pitching is there, but you need a complete team. I won't deny the fact that we need some more CONSISTENT offense. No doubt. But you go up and down over 162 games. Right now is not good.

No, it probably won't. Especially since no one will go to the playoffs because we are doomed to lose before we ever get there. :rolly

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 01:52 AM) Hell, when the lead was 13 games earlier in the week, I was saying that people were nuts for saying we had it locked. Our schedule is brutal the rest of the way. And if you hadn't noticed, so is the rest of the Centrals. But, how trivial is that?

I think we talked about this before, but we were NOT going to play .700 ball in the second half. More like .600 or even .550. .550 still gets us a division crown, and a home field advantage. We beat who we are supposed to, and now we are going to play pretty much even against these other teams. BUT WE STILL SUCK.

OH f***ING HELL... OH s***... WE SUCK... f***... OMG... WE f***ING SUCK... /there, I feel better... :rolly

QUOTE(Carlo Paz @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 04:12 AM) Crede's hitting over .300 with men on base! REALLY? Seriously? Show me the stats (I believe you, but I want to see the splits anyway and I'm too lazy to look them up.)

Ain't that the truth.

There's some things that I have been hearing, that I will be SHOCKED that happen. That's really all I can say right now, but suffice it to say, there's going to be a totally different makeup now on a few teams. Chicago is one of them. Trust me. They are not going to be as much of a dog as they used to be.

Tomorrow, boys and girls, is where the s*** starts to hit the fan. Buyouts will start taking place. Qualifying offers will be extended. Players will be moving like you've never seen before. Some big ass names are about to get dumped. This will be the wildest professional sports movement you have ever seen.

This draft actually is not bad after Sidney Crosby. There's really good talent through about 12.

not only that, crosby playing in the pacific time zone TOTALLY will kill your marketing effort. it has to be pittsburgh. but i will say this - so much for conspiracy.

no way for anahiem - i sure as hell hope not.

c'mon pittsburgh -

frick - anaheim or pittsburgh?

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jul 22, 2005 -> 08:16 PM) columbus is it, i think oh and pittsburgh how about mario and crosby?

QUOTE(Stocking @ Jul 22, 2005 -> 08:15 PM) how many 3 balled teams are left still? columbus is it, i think

damn - i wonder if the fix is on for montreal?

could you imagine nash and crosby on the same line? holy s***...

F'in a... columbus is looking good

my personal favorite, no touch icing was tabled!
