QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 01:41 AM) So Pods actually found a way to strike out on only 2 strikes? Go away Yeah, not even I understand that statement about 2000.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 01:41 AM) At least the defense is now improved. Pods would have K'd too. He did.

Wow....one of the most impressive managed innings I've ever seen.

I hate you Scott Podsednik. Leyland just shoved it up Ozzie's ass.

Anderson coming in here? Ozzie loves his matchups, as Walker is much better against righties. Can we have a miracle and have Anderson get a hit?

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 01:38 AM) The bigger question is how many times management has to see it to do something about it? For all the b****ing we do about Pods, he really doesn't make us eat crow a lot.

Quite the intriguing move by Leyland. This has called 3rd strike on the sweeping curve written all over it. PODS- THIS MOVE NEVER HAPPENS IF YOU JUST GET DOWN THE f***ING BUNT!

I don't care what happens in this AB, but how can one player just be so fundamentally bad?

Here comes Pods in a bunt situation. He has to avoid bunting into a DP. First attempt was awful. Mackowiak better be careful at 2nd base.

QUOTE(Drew @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 01:33 AM) I want to see Cintron lead off. I want to see Gload or Mackowiak lead off.

QUOTE(Allsox @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 01:31 AM) Would Mack leading off and playing LF with Brian playing CF work for anyone here? Pods isn't even being patient anymore and Mac is a decent baserunner. At this point with Thome gone for prolly a week with the hammy pull, Ozzie's gotta do something to generate some offense. You won't find anyone on here who will disagree with you....and that includes the biggest of Pods supporters, in my opinion.

QUOTE(JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 01:30 AM) not even close check yankees staff aside from moose and wang, they got pavano, wright, and big unit and thats a whole lot of expensive crap right there Yes, but Pavano has been hurt all year, and J. Wright would have the 3rd best ERA out of our starters.

QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 01:30 AM) does anyone know the extent of thome's injury I don't mind him getting a couple days off at all since I think he needs it, but I hope nothing serious I said this earlier, but if he's back within 10 days, I'll be thrilled.

Nice to get one run back. Crede is just awesome against the Tigers.

Nice to have the lead still. Why are even the most routine plays not routine?

QUOTE(Drew @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 01:25 AM) If we put Thor in two batters earlier, we may be done and batting by now. Apparently Ozzie wasn't taking notes when Leyland gave Miner the hook in the second. One team has showed urgency all series....the other team looks like they could not give a s***.

Watch the bunt with Inge here. And like clockwork, another 5 ER performance by our starters. Our starting pitching is one of the most underachieving collection of high-priced talent I can remember in a long time.

Well...this sucks. I can't wait for our lefty relievers to one day learn a slider or pitch inside to lefties.

QUOTE(Wanne @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 01:21 AM) Just thinkin' about Thome...the bright side is...we may FINALLY get to see JD in the 3 spot! Nice observation.

QUOTE(Melissa1334 @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 01:20 AM) speed? not really, he doesnt get on enough, power? nope. defense? nope. avg? nope. but what other choice do we have? Gload, Mackowiak, Sweeney

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 01:19 AM) You can say that about a few players on this team. No, he's the only person who I honestly think doesn't contribute a single freaking thing to this team. He's so much worse than your average MLB starter.

Thank you Pudge....now get Garcia the f*** out of the game.

QUOTE(Wanne @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 01:17 AM) Seriously....what the hell does Pods bring to this team? Nothing, and if he went on the DL tonight, we'd be a better team because of it.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 01:17 AM) this is ridiculous. This team deserves anything bad that happens to them this inning.

Paging the bullpen. Where's the urgency Oz?
