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. QUOTE(mr_genius @ May 27, 2007 -> 08:09 PM) ? Eduardo Perez

Speed kills....Ozzie might want to think about putting AJP into the game as well.

Best slider of the game by Vazquez. Gotta keep Upton in the park this at-bat.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 27, 2007 -> 08:04 PM) Our starting pitchers have the longest leash in the majors. Yet we think we need 12 pitchers. Sisco has no place being on this roster. Unfortunately, the guy we should have on the roster instead is now doing BBTN.

I wonder just how long Vazquez's leash will be. Needless to say, it will likely be too long.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 27, 2007 -> 08:01 PM) Terrero looked horrible. But DJ said he has all the tools to be a superstar in the majors.

Well, that was f***ing pathetic. I'm sure Javy will do his best to get us back in the dugout with the game still tied.

This is a perfect example, this inning, of why this offense struggles.

Toby trying to bunt with PK on 2nd base = not giving your team a good chance.

Good thing PK could barely get to 2nd base on a hit down the line. His glaring lack of speed just cost us a run.

Toby better have a perfect bunt, as he has a piano at 2nd base.

Holy s*** is he slow.
