QUOTE(kwolf68 @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 07:48 PM) What the hell is Ozzie doing? Cant wait till the 3 run homer by a .230 hitter Hollins bombed a homer against Vazquez earlier in the year in a similar situation.

I can't believe Ozzie continues to pitch this loser in the 6th inning of close games. Vazquez's mental breakdowns are one of the most astonishing things I've seen in baseball.

QUOTE(beautox @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 07:37 PM) does Zorbrist have a liscense for that thing? Nice play on Anderson, I presume? Hey offense...this pitcher isn't good. How about we score some runs?

If the Sox don't score here, Vazquez should be allowed one base runner next inning.

QUOTE(beautox @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 07:35 PM) Oh those silly royals trying to make people believe they're a real team. I'm thrilled with them winning 2 out of 3. Did anyone really expect De La Rosa to defeat Johan?

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 07:32 PM) Fathom, Its not manning up. Its statistics. You are not going to win many games when your team only scores 3 or less regardless of what pitcher is on the hill. Javy keeps the Sox in games, that is the job of a pitcher. If the Sox offense cant score more than 3 runs today, they dont deserve to win. There's a reason he's been on 4 teams in the last 4 years. It's too bad that KW didn't get suckered into this supermodel who has herpes.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 07:29 PM) Its not his fault the Sox decided to score 10 runs on days when he held teams to 3 and then they score 2 when he gives up 5. Yeah...how dare him not man up and try to hold the team to one if we're only going to score two.

1 run thru 4 innings is disappointing today...for both teams probably.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 07:24 PM) Vazquez is a loser with 11 wins. I wonder where the Sox would be without Javy's 6 wins in the first 2 months. Isn't he also among the lead league in run support? There are a ton of pitchers in the majors that have 50 pct of Vazquez's stuff, but they have something he doesn't: guts.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 07:17 PM) Honestly from the reactions here it would appear the Sox have given up 10 runs, not 1. Every pitcher on the Sox has had trouble you cant just pull them all after the first run they give up. Is it too much to ask for our 12 million dollar pitcher to actually pick us up one game, and not be "the rally kller?"

QUOTE(Allsox @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 07:15 PM) Why is Ozzie's leash on this guy so long? One good start out of 10 should tell a monkey Javy sucks. It pays to be friends with Ozzie.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 07:15 PM) As much as Pods likes to strikeout looking 30 games and counting until we see Pods gone....that puts a smile on my face at night.

Another Sox pitcher who just excels once we give him the lead.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 07:08 PM) Uribe and Crede play who wants to f*** this up. What happened?

I'm so thankful that Pods is playing again today.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 04:07 AM) Ozzie is a player's manager and wants players to play the game right. Delmon Young did not play the game right. He got 50 games for it. And when he got to the majors, he got hit by a man that won't tolerate anything like that AND will take the heat for his players in just a situation like this. Maddon, the Rays coach, is just giving this thing lip service...if he was that upset about it, then he woulda hit someone on the Sox...but he didn't. How telling is that? Bottom line, stuff like this is solved on the field and left on the field. Done and...done. Bottom line...Delmon had nothing to do with the Sox. I find it ironic that Ozzie is trying to act as the sheriff for moral play. Also, they did throw at AJP last night.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 03:55 AM) Well, i agree with him. This team doesn't need stupid distractions such as an injury or a brawl. I don't think hitting Young accomplished anything for the White Sox. I didn't hear this argument, but it brings up my only real issue with the play. Against a team that has nothing to play for, intentionally hitting Delmon just led to a target being on one of our hitters. We don't need any injuries right now due to hitting someone on a team 25 games under .500.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 03:09 AM) Where the hell is Jphat? It has got to be hard to defend Pods right now, along with his hate for BA. Good posters have been banned from this board.

BTW...welcome back Jim.

Routine, easy win.

YES!!!!!!!

Gotta get that slider down...it's just hanging there.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 02:53 AM) Thought that was going to be an inncoent play... We were playing him well around to pull, which is odd considering Jenks velocity. Throw the hook in the dirt.

And here we go.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 02:49 AM) Kinda wish I was there to hear "BOOM" Sounds like they changed the music.
