[McCarthy must be inserted into the rotation...]

Nice to see some more great chemistry on the Sox. This article states that Ozzie/Vazquez are debating him getting pulled last night.

That's the difference between wanting to win and playing to win. The Sox want to win, but they don't want to put in the full effort to win. They blame umpires and whatever else to justify losing it seems. Meanwhile there are the Twins, hustling out every play and forcing the game instead of waiting for the game to come to them.

 

Before our series last weekend at the Dome, I knew we were in trouble once I heard that Hunter told the media that he was nervous that the Twins would be too "amped" up for the game. Meanwhile, Buehrle and PK continue to go with the "just another game" approach.

[And that's a white sox loser]

And another thing, I hate Tori Hunter more than any other player in baseball. I'd like to see Buehrle hit him in the mouth tommorrow.

 

I have so much admiration for the heart and hustle Hunter is playing with right now. You can tell he's nowhere near 100 pct out there, but he's the most intense guy on the field and in the dugout.

[Perspective - the year after a playoff appearance is always a dissapoi]

This week on the radio, Don Cooper said that anything but another World Series championship this year is a disappointment.

[And that's a white sox loser]

Some drunken slurred fan calls in. He thinks its a well played game. A slurred rambling of crap.

 

But the drunken squirrel finds a nut.

 

He asks the question. Why cant bmac start.

 

Rongey says if bmac gives you 5 and Vaz gets you 5, why make the change. Bmac cant go more than 5 innings. he just cant says the PFB.

 

Then the show is over for the affiliates. Drop dead Rongey.

 

Great, great end to your Rongey rants tonight. You made me laugh out loud, which should be impossible after what happened in tonight's game.

[And that's a white sox loser]

IT WAS! Last night Jenks should have replaced McDougal with a runner on second and 2 out in the top of the 9th. Tonight the right handed McDougal should have gone in for Thorton with 2 outs and the runner on third.

Terrible handling of the pitching staff in key moments. HOW COULD HE NOT HAVE GONE RIGHTY TO RIGHTY TONIGHT IN THE 11th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Punto is a switch hitter, and he generally takes better swings from the left side.

[And that's a white sox loser]

Who's more likely to have offseason surgery...Thome or Contreras?

[McCarthy must be inserted into the rotation...]

I'm not saying BMAC will be in the rotation, I just think there will be even more pressure. Ozzie is known for not listening to anything that sounds rational. The other thing is that McCarthy was just up to the bigs last year so not using him in the playoffs wasn't totally irational. Now, McCarthy has experience and could easily contribute.

 

Who's he going to replace McCarthy with in the rotation? Not even I can think of a logical choice.

[And that's a white sox loser]

OZZIE, be who you say you are and throw you f***ing team under the bus

 

I just hope he's the first one to go under.

[McCarthy must be inserted into the rotation...]

And now the bullpen is in a funk and can't hold any lead.

 

After this game Ozzie will have a lot of pressure to insert McCarthy.

 

This situation is 1/100th of the situation Ozzie had last year, and he still kept Duque in the rotation over McCarthy.

[I can't take it anymore...]

I have a feeling that there's a lot more people who feel sick now.

[McCarthy must be inserted into the rotation...]

Vazquez has to go to the pen. if you can't go more than 5 innings you're no use to this team

 

Or our manager just get his head out of his ass when Vaz starts, and he pulls him no matter how well he's doing if the game is within 3 runs.

[And that's a white sox loser]

LOL once again Rongey sets a new bar for stupid remarks, " I don't think Contreras had a terrible start, yes a bad one, but not terrible."

 

It wasn't that bad. He only gave up 5 runs in his start. That's about average for everyone besides Garland lately.

[And that's a white sox loser]

Phone busy on my first try.

 

First caller into the PFB show thinks that Ozzie made all the right moves last night. Shockingly he gets through.

 

Someone gives PFB a tug on the nuts, and he is the skype caller of the show. Wow that was quick. He usually saves that for his more negative callers.

 

Did his name start with j, and end with t?

[And that's a white sox loser]

I get to see this train wreck up close tomorrow. Hopefully they get a win to salvage the series. Why do we drop our pants every year, except last year, bend over and take it from the twinks past the asb. We just lost our 3 last series to them. Including a sweep. We are looking at another sweep here.

 

Are you forgetting getting swept by the Twins at the Cell int he 2nd half of last year? We lost games in a similar fashion vs them then.

[And that's a white sox loser]

id guess not good.....but thats just a guess...he had nothing in that last game, and hes already said that he's retiring next year

 

I heard Gardenhire pulled him due to being ineffective, and not cause of his injury. We have to remember that the radar gun was way down last night, so his velocity wasn't as bad as it seemed.

 

We had a season similar to this one. It was 2004.........'nuff said.

 

And 2003

[McCarthy must be inserted into the rotation...]

Compared to 4 out of our 5 starters, he is f***ING CY YOUNG!

[And that's a white sox loser]

When you talk about playing with intensity, 2 plays immediately come to my mind.

 

1. Luis Castillo's ground ball to Iguchi off of Jenks in the 9th. Iguchi charges, but not hard/fast enough, and Castillo is close enough to be called safe.

 

Iguchi looks incredibly fatigued. He just doesn't seem to have a lot of energy at the plate or in the field.

 

liriano and radke (who was like 8-1 in his previous 9 before garland beat him) had something to do with that, without those two guys the twins could be in trouble

 

What's the word on Radke?

[And that's a white sox loser]

Pitching, defense, fundamentals, productive outs, spot on managing...

 

 

Guys not overswinging, holding runners, good range in the outfield, hitting the cutoff man....and many, many more.

[The Ozzie Guillen Battleground Thread]

1 second...does anyone realize that the argument here, in the "Ozzie Guillen battleground thread", is that you can't put 100% of the blame on Ozzie for the loss?

 

Of course it's not 100% his fault. But way more of it was his fault than should have been.

 

Again, he violated Fathom's #1 rule. Having Mackowiak in CF doesn't give the Sox the best chance to succeed.

[And that's a white sox loser]

I think we see the AL Central champs in this series. Congrats to the Twins as they TRULY want it more than our team does.

 

There's a reason they've gone from 9 under to 24 over.

[The Ozzie Guillen Battleground Thread]

I agree with you that Mack shouldn't ever start in CF, but when he does and the Sox lose, you can't just blame Ozzie right away. There were many times today when the players on the field had chances to win the game and failed.

 

When it continues to lead to numerous runs against our pitchers, I will blame Ozzie every time. It's freaking ridiculous that we're a MLB team, and our manager has the slightest clue about his player's abilities.

[And that's a white sox loser]

See ya in 2007!

 

Please come back then...see ya.

[And that's a white sox loser]

put blame where it is deserved......contreras lost this one for us, not iguchi.....when you are "the ace" you cant go only 2.something innings against santana

 

Contreras isn't the ace of this team, and he hasn't been the ace for 2 months now.

[The Ozzie Guillen Battleground Thread]

The game was not lost by Ozzie. It was lost by Cintron and AJ who couldn't get more than one run home with the bases loaded and only one out. It was lost by Uribe, making an error on a ball he normally sucks up. It was lost by Iguchi, grounding in to a double play for the final two outs of the game, leaving the best hitter in the AL on deck.

 

It was not lost by Ozzie. Yes, if he did things a bit differently, then maybe the Sox would have won, but it's far from being his fault when placing the blame for this game on someone.

 

How many times is he going to put Mackowiak in CF, only for it to blow up in our face? Seriously, we're almost 130 games into the season, and he hasn't learned one freaking thing from what's happened.

 

Ozzie is getting absolutely owned by Gardenhire in this series so far.
