QUOTE(El Barto @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 02:55 AM) Jenks might get his save opportunity after all Lets hope we have the lead going into the 9th.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 02:55 AM) im sorry but bringing in cotts in a 6 run game in the 8th is fine......using riske was fine too up 4 When the tying run is on deck though, you bring in your main relievers.

RISKE SHOULD NEVER PITCH IN A GAME THAT YOU'RE WINNING UNLESS YOU'RE UP 10.

This is sickening. What in the hell is Ozzie waiting for? If you have MacDougal warming up in the pen, bring his ass in to face Baldelli. Another gem by our coaching staff tonight.

I've seen enough 88 mph fastballs tonight to make me puke.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 02:50 AM) END THIS GAME. I dont care what has to happen, just end it. Riske and Cotts are the worst type of pitchers against a team like Tampa, as they have no deception or tight offspeed pitch.

And NO ONE is warming up in the bullpen. Nice urgency Ozzie.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 02:49 AM) I love it when we bring the poop part of our bullpen out so we can get save situations for our closer. How nice of the poopers to pitch in. I don't get it...I really don't. It's like we're begging Tampa to get the tying run to the plate.

Man...we keep messing around with our lesser relievers again.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 02:44 AM) Is it obvious to anyone else that his arm angle is all off. He is flattening out his wrist on delivery. Anyone? He's lost his deceptiveness. Last year, he was fooling guys with the high heater. He also can only pitch to one part of the plate. He only throws inside to righties, and outside to lefties.

We're determined to have to pitch Jenks tonight.

He's terrible. Get him out of the game now. He can't be pitching in games that aren't yet decided. Hey Neal, I love the work you've done on your second pitch this season.

Man...throw strikes Neal!

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 02:36 AM) Nope the PFB is not on my personal favorites list. Rongey just wants you to have confidence. Once you do, you'll be fine.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 02:29 AM) punto pops out first pitch For a second, it looked like Shealy lost it in the roof.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 02:27 AM) Very nice. KC, HOLD IT. What's the chances?

Nice inning so far.

Ok...please get him out now. Go with MacDougal, Thornton, Jenks, and if Tampa can get at least 3 runs, you tip your cap. QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 02:19 AM) Perhaps this should be reserved for the Fillabuster thread, but I am glad Joey Cora does not work border patrol. Nonsense...that's a perfect post for this thread.

I honestly would love to take some swings against Garcia. Hitters seems so comfortable against him at the plate.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 02:16 AM) Fixed Mr. Negative

Freddy's high fastball = 88 mph

Can we fire Cora for lack of game preparation?

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 02:12 AM) isn't Cora just getting to the point that it's unbelievable? I cringe whenever we have a runner past 2nd base now. Garcia's in...super.

QUOTE(BFirebird @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 02:11 AM) Paulie almost died rounding 3rd. Not only did he have like 1 pct chance of scoring there, but your just risking injury when the guy is gassed coming around third. Cora is just an absolute idiot. There's nothing wrong with holding the runner and letting AJP try to knock 2 in.

Are you freaking kidding me? WHAT IN THE HELL IS JOEY CORA DOING? Nice hit Crede...get lost Joey.
