QUOTE (Felix @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 11:55 PM) When Mackowiak was out there, there were tons of posts each day asking for the head of Ozzie for marching him out there. Funny how the defense (and offense for that matter) is worse, but there are less posts given the players name. You know I'm with you...Anderson should be starting in CF every game.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 12:53 AM) Guillen should get fired if he is managing games based on the week ahead. With the way the bullpen has been the last month, there was no way you could go to them in that close of a ballgame. At that point in time, Floyd gave them the best chance to win in that situation. No, you should know I want him to manage one game at a time. I've been upset when we've pulled pitchers early cause of upcoming 4 man rotation plans. However, if a guy does throw a lot of pitches (I read somewhere he threw the most he's had all season), then you have to just push him back to normal rest.

QUOTE (Felix @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 12:52 AM) Bulls***. Anyone that knows what they're doing in CF actually backs up their corner outfielders, as opposed to just picking dandelions out in center while letting the batter round at his will. When they showed the view from the 3rd base dugout, Griffey didn't even move until the very end.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 12:52 AM) Yeah... that is one of the slowest RF/CF combos in the history of baseball.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 12:50 AM) This is just unacceptable from Floyd. You see Minnesota has lost, this late in the season, and you're giving up this crap? It has to be treated as a playoff game. Offense included. We should have atleast 4 runs on the board by the 6th inning, and if Floyd has any balls this is where it ends with the runs. Kc sucks. I just don't know if Floyd is mentally ready to handle pitching on short rest. That's not a knock on him, as he's been our MVP of the staff.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 12:49 AM) I'm with you fathom. I've consistently said how much I hate going on 3 days rest. Especially when our guys look dead as it is. I hope Floyd can somehow step up and pitch past this. The offense is really going to have to bail out Gavin tonight!!! Oh and no matter what, I won't b**** about Gavin, he's been the f***ing man for us this season. I just don't get why we threw him so many pitches on Tuesday if we planned on him pitching on 3 days rest?

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 12:49 AM) I like when guys jump on the wall without reaching for the ball. To think that DJ frequently says he's played GG caliber defense this season.

Griffey didn't even move out there until DeJesus hit 3rd base.

What a joke this is.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 12:37 AM) Why Gavin looks good so far. It was a pitch down, away and hit drove it to left center. Its not like Gavin is wild, or his velocity is down. It just never seems like pitchers are effective down the stretch when they pitch on short rest. Even C.C. was mediocre today.

QUOTE (Sox It To Em @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 12:35 AM) 2-0 KC. s***. Ugh, I hate the idea of pitching these guys on 3 days rest.

Well....that's not good.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 11:23 PM) Grats to the Rays on the first postseason appearance ever! Absolutely...first of many with their loaded organization.

Tampa's biggest chance at blowing their postseason is Troy Percival.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 11:22 PM) Could you imagine if Anderson did that in CF? It's been funny over the last few weeks, but I hold my breath as soon as a ball is hit to center field. However, when I see Anderson out there, this feeling of calmness comes over me.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 11:17 PM) I can't tell because that ball was so far from either of them, but should that have been caught??? It sure seems like it. No, I think it split them. However, it was scary how slow they were going after it.

Wow Griffey, he really should not be playing. He literally was jogging for a gapper.

Seriously, why the hell did he move AJP back into the 2nd spot? I don't get putting our worst hitter right after OC, who's currently our best hitter.

It's great to know that no matter what, we'll be in 1st place after next Thursday as long as we win one game in Minnesota.

No Konerko tonight. For some reason, Wise is batting 9th and AJP is 2nd.

Should Rich Hill really be allowed to celebrate?

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 11:12 PM) 6-0. Perez homer. Gotta laugh at that. My brother estimates he had 80 infield hits this season. Funny thing is he's one of the more educated players in baseball.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 09:56 PM) That'll work. I watched all my 05 stuff last night and this morning. im pumped. Do you have the Collector's DVD with the 6 games on DVD?

5-0!

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 10:52 PM) 4-0. Awesome...one more hit to blow this game open.
