Does Thome ever hit the ball hard anymore?

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 17, 2006 -> 08:39 PM) I wish they would stop pimping that crappy mi manera series. I was sad when I learned the translation didn't mean "I am resigning".

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 17, 2006 -> 08:30 PM) How many teams would Pods really start for? Windy City Thunderbolts, Schaumburg Flyers, Rockford Riverhawks

Haha...great job Ozzie having Pods and Uribe in this game.

Shocker...our two best line drive hitters with hits up the middle.

SSI has to laugh that he hits a homer right down the RF line. Good job AJ!

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 17, 2006 -> 08:23 PM) Ozzie's act is entertaining when everything is working out. He gets exposed as a very immature loudmouth when things don't go the Sox way. The way Jessie Rogers was talking about it yesterday, Ozzie and KW completely disagree on the CF situation. QUOTE(BearSox @ Sep 17, 2006 -> 08:24 PM) do you have a link to that article? I would love to read it. http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...-home-headlines

QUOTE(3E8 @ Sep 17, 2006 -> 08:20 PM) Why would you send him? Everyone knows Kotsay's arm is strong as hell and that ball was popped shallow. And I know AJ isn't good at drawing walks but the bases are still loaded and Blanton didn't have great control there. That's about the 10th time Kotsay's thrown out a Sox runner on the bases. BTW, did anyone hear Hawk and DJ's disgust regarding how Ozzie was bashing Frank prior to this series?

QUOTE(BearSox @ Sep 17, 2006 -> 08:18 PM) What are the chances the Media turns on Ozzie, Ozzie says some really stupid s***, and Kenny fires him for his dumbass mouth? I hope the chances are good. It would be the best thing that could happen to this organization. It's amazing to me how much slack Ozzie's being given lately. It was refreshing to read Phil Rogers' article blast him for the awful managing yesterday.

That was a perfect example of everything that's wrong with this team. A pathetic leadoff hitter and terrible coaching.

Why are we challenging a guy with a great throwing arm on a shallow flyball? Also, someone might want to tell Crede that this season didn't end in August.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Sep 17, 2006 -> 08:11 PM) Will someone please tell me how Gload can't leadoff? He just got a basehit and got to second on a steal. When was the last time you saw Podsednik do that. Because Ozzie likes his leadoff hitters to be scrawny, weak hitting guys who he thinks can bunt and steal bases. For those reasons, I'm predicting we'll sign Pierre this offseason.

Amazing AB by Pods to start the game off. At least we're one game closer to seeing the end of his Sox career.

This lineup makes sense...keep our 2 worst hitters in the game (Pods and Uribe), bench PK and Iguchi, and move Anderson up to the 7th spot in the order.

The coaching staff demanded that KW bring back Sandy Alomar Jr.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 17, 2006 -> 05:25 AM) Why is it so hard to realize Ozzie does not make up the roster. He uses the guys provided to him by Kenny Williams!!! Think he wants to put in Boone Logan??? You guys sometimes act like Ozzie is the do all. He didn't make up this average roster; KW did! Why are some people so naive about how much influence Ozzie has on the roster? There's been numerous times this year where KW said in the media that he asked Ozzie if they needed to change the roster, and Ozzie told him that he likes the 25 man roster the way it is.

The Twins and Tigers are both winning. The Twins are having no problem having quality ABs against C.C. Our chances might be shot by the end of tomorrow.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 11:41 PM) Not even a chance. Only the people on this site blame every pitch on Ozzie. I think there's about to be an explosion in the media criticizing Ozzie's managing.

This team just hasn't been fun to watch during the 2nd half of the season.

Another amazing game for Thome. I'm so glad he's picking it up down the stretch.

Why not use Gload here?

8 or 10 pitch inning here?

The Twins have Nathan, Rincon, Neshek, Reyes, and Crain. We have Thornton, and half of MacDougal and Jenks.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 10:41 PM) Bullpen was just awful that inning. Get somebody out there that will throw strikes. ....and not be afraid of the bat.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 10:38 PM) Say all you want, this bullpen has lost us too many games this month, and now has shut the door on the playoffs for us. Absolutely. They have almost every loss we've had.
