QUOTE(jphat007 @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 08:41 PM) It was a pitch out. WTF are you guys talking about? He should not be running period.

Podsednik still sucks.

Podsednik walks.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 08:31 PM) Is this really a surprise? He does it about once a game. 132 games and 66 strikeouts?

QUOTE(SoxRock192 @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 08:16 PM) Agreed QUOTE(SoxRock192 @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 08:16 PM) Are you doing me Please ban this fool.

QUOTE(Wanne @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 08:13 PM) Is it time to move Carl back to the 3rd spot?!? He should never bat third again in his career.

1-0.

Dye lines out to rivera inning over.

Uribe is god.

Layer cake was pretty good, anyone else see it? He will make a good bond IMO.

Widger is my favorite sox player currently and i hope he is brought back so i can just look at him some more.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 03:22 AM) Matsui's been the Yankees best clutch hitter in the middle of that lineup over the past 3 seasons. I can't see them getting rid of him, especially when poor pitching and defense were the main problems for them in the series. QUOTE(YASNY @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 03:23 AM) There is always a chance he just wants to get the hell away from the Bronx Zoo. Doubtful, but who knows? They only have 15 days to resign him after the world series then they have to put him on waivers.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 12:53 AM) Anybody know of any good Angels message boards? I just want to get their perspective on the series. Best there is out there... http://www.angelsbaseball.us/

I am glad so many of you are willing to throw 8-10 million a year at furcal considering another lead-off type hitter is not one of our needs at this point.

Stop talking about marte you f***ing idiot reynolds. Then he goes on to say that cotts came on late in the year?!?!?!?

QUOTE(Goldmember @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 12:10 AM) you honestly think they'd let people die??? they almost assuredly knew everyone was out of the house. the man gambled with his home and livelihood on the line and lost. such is life... This makes me believe they could have cared less either way.

QUOTE(Mercy! @ Oct 10, 2005 -> 11:14 PM) I don’t know about ridiculous, exactly. Another way to look at it is: HE let his family suffer a total loss by failing to pay the $25 he knew he owed. He could have sold one of his rifles or his camcorder. Them’s the breaks when you don’t pay your bills. If you let your homeowner’s insurance lapse, you don’t have any insurance. If you stop paying tuition, you stop being a student. If you don’t pay your taxes, they place a lien against your property. If you don’t pay your water bill, they shut off your water. And on , and on. Bad outcomes. But not unexpected. None of your examples take lives. This is a totally different scenario IMO.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Oct 10, 2005 -> 10:33 PM) Does everyone want the Angels to win just like me now? I have wanted it to go five games and have the angels win since the series started.

How f***ing ridiculous is this... http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/5653868.html

QUOTE(GreenSox @ Oct 10, 2005 -> 10:13 PM) Dye doesn't produce enough for an offensive position like 1B. You need a home-run hitter and/or a big time OBP player. Dye produces neither. Makes the Sox significantly worse. That should be plan ZZZZZZZ Dye's numbers were better than league average, no?

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Oct 9, 2005 -> 11:17 PM) How do you figure? Figgins - .290 AVG, .352 OBP, 62 SBs Podsednik - .290 AVG, .351 OBP, 59 SBs Vlad is better. He is not a semi-god while Konerko is dog s*** though either. .283 40 100 .375/.534/.909 in roughly 650 PAs for PK .317 32 108 .394/.565/.959 in roughly 580 PAs for Vlad (pssssssss...Guerrero had 355 PAs hitting 3rd. Garret Anderson is unfit to even carry Konerko's jockstrap) Don't be so specific with your insight :rolly Colon - 3.48 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, 222.6 IP, Buehrle - 3.12 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 236.6 IP Garland - 3.50 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, 221 IP Contreras - 3.61 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, 204.6 IP Looks to me like the Sox have 2 pitchers who were on the same level as Colon this year, and I'm pretty sure we all know the story of Contreras. KRod - 2.67 ERA, 1.14 WHIP in 67.3 IP, while posting roughly a 4.5 BB/9 and also putting up a ridiculous 3 K/BB ratio. Seems like he'll strike you out or walk you, does it not? Hermanson - 2.04 ERA, 1.10 WHIP in 57.3 IP, posting a BB/9 of roughly 3, and a K/BB of 2. Jenks - 2.75 ERA, 1.25 WHIP in 39.3 IP, putting up a BB/9 of just over 3, and a K/BB of just over 3, which is BETTER than KRod. But KRod is a god Also...last time I checked, Politte threw it 95, Marte threw it 95, Cotts threw it 93, Vizcaino threw it 93...the Sox have guys that can throw it hard too. They also happen to have one of the best postseason pitchers of the past 10 years in the pen...perhaps you recall him getting out of a bases loaded, 0 out situation when the Sox were up by 1, allowing no runs in doing so. I also find it interesting you made no mention of the Sox #2 hitter compared to the Angels #2 hitter. Iguchi > Cabrera/Erstad. The Sox did too. That point holds absolutely no ground whatsoever. Or maybe you don't recall that the Sox lost something like 7 out of the 9 games to Oakland this year. Credit Iguchi for hitting the bending curve...no runs scored because of Graffanino's error whatsoever. They all scored because Iguchi hit a hanger. I'm not really surprised to see you give no credit to Duque...it's all the Sawx fault. Someone had to execute at some point in time, no? The Sox swept because they executed everything correctly and they capitalized on mistakes. Period. Chacon is 27(assuming I did my math correctly), Wang is 25, Small is 33...they are not all old and overrrated. And it's not like New York can't play defense either. Jeter won a gold glove last year, undeservedly as it may be, and ARod has won a gold glove in the past at SS, and is above average defensively at 3B. Tino Martinez is still solid defensively at 1B, and Matsui is very solid no matter where he goes in the OF. Anaheim is probably better...but Anaheim is not like exponentionally better than New York defensively like you are trying to portray it. You also failed to mention how much better Mariano Rivera really is than KRod. Krod - 2.67 ERA, 1.14 WHIP in 67.3 IP, BB/9 of 4.5, K/BB of 3. Mo - 1.38 ERA, 0.87 WHIP in 78.3 IP, BB/9 of 2.07, K/BB of just over 4. You tell me which is better and who you'd rather face. Welp... you pwned the f*** out of him.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 9, 2005 -> 04:06 PM) That's been damaso's speciality this year. His job is just to make our other relievers look good IMO.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Oct 9, 2005 -> 04:01 PM) I think we can all agree Viz and Marte don't get the job done, but IMO Viz get's it done less. I just want to know why McCarthy was left of the roster in favor of Viz??????? :banghead :headshake Well the stats would say other wise.
