QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jul 28, 2006 -> 08:43 PM) I love eating crow. me too, i wish scotty was still fast though

scotty K, its happening

QUOTE(Butter Parque @ Jul 28, 2006 -> 08:36 PM) I completely agree with you, but something is up. You can't just sit there and watch a team play absolutely pathetic for weeks and do absolutely nothing unless there's more to it. I know this team is trying, but it sure as hell doesn't look like it. It doesn't take much to realize you have to have a level swing and go with the pitch. it doesn't take much to realize you have to pitch inside to be effective. So why isn't it being done, it;s been long enough to realize these problems yet everynight we see the same thing from the same people. At the beginning of the season ozzie was managing his ass off, I'm not talking about June, I'm talking about April and early may when our offense didn't seem so one-dimensional and flawed. We were using hit-and runs, we were trying to steal bases, were were taking the extra base, we were going to opposite field, were a real offensive team, part of the reason why we didn't recieve our first shutout until May 31st. Something happen since then to ozzie that has made him stop being a manager and turn into a spectator from the dugout. sensitivity training

WTF THIS IS EXACTLY MY POINT? i think ozzie has a minimum of 4 pitchers per game

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 28, 2006 -> 08:32 PM) Fair enough. So it depends on the level of the mess and who they'd be facing. ya know i'm not sure one on, 2 outs counts as a mess.... cotts shoulda been kept in.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 28, 2006 -> 08:31 PM) Especially with the awful numbers some of our pitchers have as their pitch total adds up. We're not the first team to go far in the playoffs and then have our pitchers fall apart the next year. exactly. why let garcia go out for the 7th if hes already thrown 96 pitches and wont be allowed to clean up his own messes? why make life harder for the relievers??? doesnt fishing make sense.

good job jim

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 28, 2006 -> 05:50 PM) What did Hawk say? just talked about how we've done nothing well this year except hit. how this team just isnt playing the way it's supposed to/capable of. nothing that we havent talked about on here... it's just odd to hear it from hawk.

how innovative...

QUOTE(MHizzle85 @ Jul 28, 2006 -> 05:31 PM) Ozuna, LF Iguchi, 2b Thome, DH Konerko, 1B Dye, RF Crede, 3B Pierzynski, C Uribe, SS Anderson, CF So Ozuna, but no Alomar...I Likey good lineup, lets win this thing. wow, hawk actually ripping the sox... never thought i'd see him lose his optimism.

the thing is, today we have to break bedard out of his 7 game win streak in which he has the lowest era in the majors during that run... AND Garcia needs to pitch well... i dont like our chances but who knows...

QUOTE(LVSoxFan @ Jul 28, 2006 -> 11:19 AM) Those of you who might remember me from last year would remember how I wished and wished that we could have a season like Cleveland's last year, without the ending. I was so emotionally drained from the September swoon that clinching in Detroit wasn't joyous, it was a relief. But back then, and before this season, I said many times I would gladly trade a wire-to-wire season with a near total collapse for a crappy first half but then second half explosion (but going all the way, unlike Cleveland last year). So what's the damn point, you ask? I have said many times, if we're gonna have a slump, please make it be earlier and not right at the do-or-die point in September. So, the GOOD NEWS? Well, we DEFINITELY GOT THE "SLUMP" PART DOWN, LMAO. Be careful what you ask for, right? It really can't get worse than this, so seeing that we've been in the ugliest slump imaginable, I'd say: Hell YEAH this is JUST HOW WE PLANNED IT. It is totally official: we are now UNDERDOGS. Seriously, maybe this is just all part of God's plan. Just even MAKING the playoffs at this point will be considered a victory, and isn't that just where you want everybody's head at? GO SOX! good fishing points - i'd totally forgotten about the underdog effect. all last year i hated when people favored us to win any series, much less in the post season, cuz we always seemed to do the best when everything was going against us - when everyone said we wouldnt win (boston anybody?) we kicked major ass. Now we're underdogs again - and now we're going to kick some ass. wow, this totally turned my perspective around. although if we lose today i'll be back where i was before reading your post... lol

QUOTE(retro1983hat @ Jul 28, 2006 -> 11:07 AM) Why Booooooo the greatest player in Sox history. I have no problems with Frank. As a fan, he didn't disrespect me at all. He, Ozzie and Kenny can have their pissing contest. i think it was a BOOO cuz he struck out... thats how i interpret it.... in any case you're right go big frank!

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 07:29 AM) This is what is messing with Billy Koch and his family, isnt it? What a strange and nasty virus/disease/whatever it is. red, blue, black and translucent fibers? sounds like someone's going nuts... i dont really buy it as an actual disease...

can someone bring up the 'decline of mark buehrle' thread? i wanna eat crow

DONT STOP BELIEVIN! fish it, nevermind.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 10:31 AM) This team's pitching won't get better, sans Buehrle. Vazquez is a baboon on the mound. Freddy's off steroids. Jon, Jose are where they should be. Mark will be soon. That's about it, IMO. Freddy and Javier won't just be turning it on. so i saw an article in SI that had Freddy's ERA ballooning in the second half of the year every year for the last 4 years (or was it an average of the four?) in any case... he's not gonna get any better...

make an all of them category... who cares who we lose if we bring in something worth while
