Vintage Pods

Of all games for them to show, why do they choose this one? A classic game from a terrible season with a walkoff homer by a guy not even on the team anymore. Just hearing Hawk get excited that Erstad was coming to the plate made me vomit.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 07:03 PM) He was playing LF. If you want to see what happened, just check out Capns avatar. Same exact play that he had a few years back in Oakland, the only difference is this time Pods didn't let the ball hit him in the noggin. Same wall, same jump, gravity this time didnt plunk him in the noodle as the last time Pods jumped. He bobbled or misplayed 4 balls in LF yesterday. It's amazing how frequently him and Quentin bobble a hit to left field. Him and Rios also got a terrible jump on Davis' flare in the 8th inning.

Just an awesome event to watch live. They were running into the wind also. Gay with an amazing performance, but Bolt's the greatest sprinter of all time.

Going to be a lot of rain tomorrow.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 16, 2009 -> 10:56 PM) Exactly. If any of the other guys were brought in and runs scored, people would wonder where was Jenks. you know you're my favorite on here, but I disagree. I don't think there's anyone on here that wants to see Jenks pitch in non-save situations.

Ellis hit the same exact flat fastball that Jack Wilson hit off of Jenks. Please get rid of him this offseason KW!

Just let Thornton start the 8th inning. If the team scores against him in the 8th prior to Jenks, you tip your cap. He was warming up, so it's not like we were saving him today. Make him the 8th inning specialist, and stop trying to play match-ups late in the game.

Ozzie has to keep Kotsay in the lineup this coming week. He's giving us some of our best swings. With some real bad match-ups in the KC series and then the ridiculous road trip after that, it's going to be a very trying couple of weeks.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Aug 16, 2009 -> 10:40 PM) Again our fantastic defense and crap relief pitching bite us again... f*** I am pissed by this. And terrible offensive execution

The announcers really do love to jinx our bullpen.

Maybe Ozzie thought it was a 3-2 game there, and now it's tied? It's not like Dotel threw a lot of pitches in the bottom of the 8th. I am so f***ing pissed at Ozzie right now.

Wow, what a f***ing joke. I'm so sick of Jenks and his pathetic fastball. Why in the hell was he pitching in a tied game? Terrible managing today all around by Ozzie.

Jenks is in? Does Ozzie know the score?

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Aug 16, 2009 -> 10:33 PM) Nice pods Who's been worse defensively the last month, him or Nix? They both have about a 50% success rate on balls hit to them.

Wow, takes the 3-1 pitch right down the plate and then an awful 3-2 swing. A's are fired up now too.

"You gonna call that?"

Hit a flare Pods

Nix has to try to steal here. Huff says everything is "well hit", it's pretty comical.

Kotsay puts great swings on the ball, he just has no power left.

QUOTE (TheHolyBovine @ Aug 16, 2009 -> 10:24 PM) then he shouldn't have fallen apart the past 2 innings. or just never start the 8th inning

QUOTE (son of a rude @ Aug 16, 2009 -> 10:20 PM) jphat finds a way to blame everything on nix and rios. Knowing him for 5 years now, he would never do this if the player's were performing.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 16, 2009 -> 10:20 PM) What the Sox are getting out of Pods offensively this year is a miracle. To expect anything close next year would be foolish. Ride this out and say goodbye. I couldn't agree more, but Ozzie's affection for having a speedy leadoff hitter is going to get Pods a contract extension.

Awesome job letting their only dangerous hitter against fastballs beat us there! At least we have Alexei coming up here.

Davis of course was only in scoring position because Pods misplayed Davis' blooper so badly.
