QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 27, 2007 -> 08:41 PM) I just want to know why did we pick up 2 members of the worst pen in the majors from last year. Cause they throw hard.

Well, good thing we didn't load the bases intentionally. Riggans is definitely a tougher out against the Sox than Riggans is.

I'd love to see people start throwing the Ozzie bobblehead doll onto the field.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ May 27, 2007 -> 08:37 PM) After being the key word. It was sarcasm....he flat-out failed in what he said was his goal going into last offseason. Ozzie with some terrible managing there with the base open.

BTW, why are we pitching to Delmon here?

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ May 27, 2007 -> 08:35 PM) MacDougal is unbelievably terrible this year. Our bullpen is nowhere near the expectations I had for them before the year started. Don't worry, KW will upgrade the bullpen after the season.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 27, 2007 -> 08:34 PM) What about MacDougals pitching over the last 3 weekss makes you believe that you can leverage him in these types of situation yet. Cause Ozzie is an idiot?

Haha....nothing like seeing MacDougal get hit hard on a fastball. The only pitch he's been effective with is his slider.

It really seems like Aardsma is in the doghouse.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ May 27, 2007 -> 08:29 PM) I hate losing to Greg Norton and the Triple A all-stars. Thanks for showing up today Shoddy Javy. Their lineup isn't much worse than the Sox lineup is. There's a reason they have more homers and more runs than the Sox do.

QUOTE(chisoxfan79 @ May 27, 2007 -> 08:28 PM) We can't even sweep a 2 game series Good thing we went out of our way to call that game last night. Nothing like not trying your best to face the worst pitcher in baseball.

QUOTE(chisoxfan79 @ May 27, 2007 -> 08:26 PM) You know what we what we are a 3rd place team You mean like what basically every single expert predicted before the season? The level of play in the Tigers/Indians series is fantastic to watch as a fan....so many line drives scatted around the field.

Way to take strikes and swing at balls. This has to be the most annoying team to watch in 5 years.

QUOTE(chisoxfan79 @ May 27, 2007 -> 08:25 PM) KW PLEASE CALL EDUARDO PEREZ PLEASE That ship has sailed.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 27, 2007 -> 08:24 PM) If you swing like Gooch or Uribe has done with men on late in the game down by a run, you should sit for a week for being dumb. Those balls couldnt of hit the strikezone unless our gravity turned up 5 times. Lead off double, and we are close to stranding him. 2 times in the last 2 innings we have men on, with no outs and we swing stupid. We just are severely lacking hitters who are tough outs.

Pretty awful game for Thome as well today. No shock against a lefty pitcher.

Thome is hitting around .140 against LHP since the start of the all-star break in 2006.

Good grief....what a terrible at-bat by Iguchi.

Very nice by Mackowiak. We absolutely shouldn't be bunting here, as Thome's chances of contact vs Kazmir aren't exactly high.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ May 27, 2007 -> 08:14 PM) Ichiro is way past his prime, wouldn't want to pay a ton for him. We're not going to have a ton of talent surrounding Ichiro in 2009 or so. He's not exactly proven that he can help lead a team to victory when he's their main cog. QUOTE(mr_genius @ May 27, 2007 -> 08:17 PM) of course, but that doesn't mean we should pay him 13$ mil a year He'll get way more than 13 million per year.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ May 27, 2007 -> 08:15 PM) 5 ER for Vazquez today. He's sure turned it around and become the ace we've all expected... I'm so sick of every excuse he gets, etc....the guy sucks for the amount of money he makes.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ May 27, 2007 -> 08:15 PM) Well as long as we are going to lose, I am glad to see the loss will get pinned on Sh--y Javy. Sadly, I was thinking the same thing.

This game might be the biggest example of how much are speed hurts us.

Nice 2 strike pitch there. Thornton missed his spot by a mile.

QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ May 27, 2007 -> 08:08 PM) I'm not sure myself, I just assumed Walker. Either way it's unacceptable that this continues to happen. How about we just stopping bunting unless it's in the 8th inning or later? That was a situation where bunting wasn't a good idea due to who was on 2nd base.
