I'm sure it's been mentioned in this thread before, but I'm lazy. What is Manny's contract status after this year?

It seems to me that Hawk has gotten noticeably worse this year. He can't judge a fly ball at all anymore (ulness he is just wishing that every fly ball will be a home run), he says "DAGummit" way too often, and his creepy "don't stop now boys" has grown quite thin. I find myself saying, "shut up, Hawk" many times during a game. He does have some decent one-liners here and there. The best was during the 11-0 win over the Twins after Pierre was hit by a pitch for the second time. It was right after some atrocious fielding by the Twins, and Hawk said if the pitcher was so upset he should be throwing at his own players. That was a good one.

I'm not sure why everyone can't see that Ozzie has made a lot of bad managerial decisions this year. The arguments of late regarding the injuries to Putz and Thornton have me scratching my head. Regardless of the number of pitches Thornton threw, he is not a 2+ inning pitcher. I'm not saying that caused his injury, but it certainly didn't help. All in all, there is way too much sniping going on here lately. There are too many posters just waiting for someone else to post something they can argue about. Discussions and disagreements are fine, that's what makes this site fun. But to call each other stupid or clueless or other inflammatory words is getting old. Take it easy guys. Yes, our team sucks right now, but let's not take it out on each other.

Hawk will never go away. But, I've had it with his "stretch, stretch!" call on every fly ball. That and his constant complaining. It has gotten very old this season.

I wonder if he would be nearly as good if he played a lot more. I like him, and I'd be all for some increased playing time.

And only 11 hours and 45 minutes until the next game

OVA!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 01:08 AM) We are going to lose this game. Wow. Stop!

If they blow this I say we all sign off and go to the bar.

QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 01:06 AM) Well it's nice to know everyone is not being a douche right now. Sorry, but this team will make ya act like a douche.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 01:05 AM) mercy. so who pitches the bottom frame, omar? Kotsay

Juan!

I'm surprised there's still this many of us still up watching this stuff.

Come on Juan

Ugh

Need this run now

QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 12:58 AM) Alright I missed the last two innings cause I was talking to this chick who offered me a crazy deal (and no not THAT kind....yet) but how did the Royals tie it? And who was/were the pitcher(s) for us? The same way it's been happening for about a week now. Poor bullpen pitching.

How many times can the Sox score 5 or more runs and still lose?

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 12:56 AM) Hawk is about to commit suicide. Hope Frank is ready for play-by-play. That might be interesting to listen to.

This is beyond ridiculous

holy s***

Shake it off Putz
