QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 10:06 PM) Here's the thing I've always wondered: athletes, especially MLB players, are notoriously unfaithful on the road. Does Garcia have to keep it in his pants in order to not piss off his manager? I've heard some amazing stories about athletes and their ladies on the road though. I don't think Garcia bothers anymore. By the time he was getting it out of his pants, the women had his money stolen and were out the door with it.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 09:48 PM) I heard Sean Casey on the pregame show say this tonight "everyone in the clubhouse knows that if you're not doing the job, Leyland will replace you with someone that can in a heartbeat". I miss the days when we thought the same about Ozzie. The way they are playing, Ozzie would have to pull 7 or 8 players out of a hat to fulfill this philosophy (including 4 starters). Even the dreaded Pods has had moments where he is extremely hot this year. I can understand Ozzie, partly because of a lack of choices, sticking with him.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 09:43 PM) I'm not blaming Anderson at all. That was one of those situations where our manager didn't put a player in the best chance to succeed (Fathom's #1 rule of managing). Ozzie wouldn't have been put in a difficult situation if one of his starters simply gets the ball down like Ozzie has been crying for all year long. Even extra bunting hasn't helped. It's on the players shoulders for not completing the easy task.

YAWN

Anderson in?

QUOTE(maggliopipe @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 09:35 PM) Who is that in your avatar ottawa? It looks like the dude from scrubs. Michael Bates, an English actor from the move 'A Clockwork Orange'.

Now the Pods bunt.

Uribe given a hanger ..... jacked foul.

Here's an interesting situation. A Uribe bunt to get to Pods.

A. J. saved a run there.

QUOTE(Wanne @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 09:21 PM) Just thinkin' about Thome...the bright side is...we may FINALLY get to see JD in the 3 spot! For now it's being called a 'slight' strain.

Pretty nice effort for Freddie. All things considered.

Ha Ha I Rod with the 3-0 poop up.

Freddie threw several pitches last inning in the low 90s.

Heads up running by Mack there.

Mack on for the second time out of 3 at bats.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 08:26 PM) They have no one we could realistically trade for though. Sad ....... you'd think eveyone would have at least one good arm in the minors.

QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 08:24 PM) i really hope the cardinals dont make the playoffs Cause that might make them bite on a Buehrle trade in the off-season?

Crede with the ass out one handed hit again.

OK, it's only fair ....... let's start hearing some kudos for Freddie for protecting the lead ................................................................ come on.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 07:53 PM) Was PK standing on the base? I understand how he was out, but he must have not been running hard to be out by that far. He simply has no speed. Give the guy a break.

That's what happens when you ask for one inside and it gets the middle of the plate. Oh, oh .... a Thome hammy?

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 07:42 PM) I don't care if he uses BMac at some point, but Buerhle and Garcia really give the Sox no chance to win. They are brutal. Contreras is starting to resemble them and Vazquez obviously is a lost cause. At least send a message to your pitching staff and to your team, because throwing these guys out there is doing no good. LOL, Hawk just said how important these next 2 games are for Detroit. Hey Hawk, you may want to look at the standings in the paper. They don't need any messages ........ they know they suck.
