QUOTE (shipps @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 09:47 AM) Can you really call it parity? There have been some teams that havent REALLY been involved in this league for quite some time. Pittsburgh made their own bed due to cheap ownership. Washington's working on it. Cincy has had poor management. Toronto's near every season. Milwaukee's a big choker. Baltimore: see Cincy. I don't know what Texas and Seattle's problems are. KC is cheap like Pitt.

C'mon guys, let's stop fooling around and take this division!

Every MLB team has now made the playoffs since 1981. (If you count Washington as Montreal's playoff spot in '81 or their Division lead in '94). Ahhh sweet parity. Just as Bud Selig wanted.

The last thing I want is for the Sox to choke. But, Ozzie seems to make really dumb decisions lately. Defensive lineup, offensive batting order, bullpen selection, and that 3 day rest stunt. All have been poor choices lately. I'm not denying that they've had success this year, but I think that the 3 day rest decision reeks of desperation.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 10:51 PM) Its funny. Kenny talked a good game about grinders, and playing like the twins, and how we will play like the twins. Then he keeps assembling the same offense. Hell he trades a line drive type, to get a low BA power guy. He loves him some power hitters. I wonder how many years KW can ride the 2005 wave? He may have a few issues on his plate this offseason.

There's minimal speed, minimal defense and no timely hitting. It's semi-talented corpseball rearing its ugly head, yet again.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 10:39 PM) During playoff hunt years, we have had Ozzie doing a postgame show. Now 670 only has it when they win. I think 670 has had their fill of "Ozzie being Ozzie" after losses. I'm sure that the FCC LOVES it though.

Ever since we had Ozzie s*** the bed in Baltimore on the makeup game, this team has been in a nosedive.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 10:24 PM) And if Broadway/Richard would have started and lost, everyone would have complained that ozzie is throwing nobodys out there in the heat of a pennant race. Richard did lose, thanks to MacDougal. If Broadway had to go out there to keep 3 starters from going on 3 days rest, I'd be all for it.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 10:09 PM) Floyd wasn't the problem tonight. He went 6 strong innings tonight. Until Ozzie threw gas on the fire and brought in Logan, then MacDougal (who has allowed at least 4 inherited runs to score in the last 3 days).

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 10:06 PM) I can't criticize Guillen because every game this late in the season matters. I'd rather throw these starters out on short rest then a rested Broadway anyway. Sure, the end result of a loss would have been the same; but at the moment it's a question of who gives you the best opportunity to win. We can lose three straight in the playoffs with each of our starters giving up 8 runs, sure, but you have to get their first. And NO equation entering the playoffs should go thru that bum Lance Broadway. He pulled a stunt that an OOTP manager would be afraid to pull.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 10:04 PM) 16 innings, 14 runs for Javy/Buehrle/Floyd on 3 days rest. Take out Buehrle's and see how it looks.

Nice job pitching guys on 3 days rest, Oz. Here's hoping that they can all stay healthy enough to finish the season. Why couldn't he have sacrificed Broadway to the Yankees so that everyone could have gone on 4 days rest? One huge loss > 2 losses and possible tired arm syndrome for the rest of the pennant race.

More money for Prostate health, thanks to OC!

Whoa.

Nice inning by Richard.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 09:25 PM) Wasserman is up. LOL Ozzie's packing it in?

Yeah. THIS was a good idea.

Pffth.
