QUOTE(South Side Fireworks Man @ Sep 9, 2006 -> 03:42 AM) Can't they tell in the bullpen when a pitcher is warming up that he just doesn't have it???? They said he was brutal on Monday night in Boston in the bullpen, and they still put his fat ass on the mound.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 9, 2006 -> 03:41 AM) Kalapse name one situation in baseball, one manager who puts in the closer in a 2 run game and doesn't let him finish or blow it in the process. My god. HE'S NOT EVEN CLOSE TO 100 PERCENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why is that so hard for you to understand?

QUOTE(S720 @ Sep 9, 2006 -> 03:40 AM) Come on, you were the one who wanted Jenks to pitch in the 9th. Don't give me that crap! We all said to pull him if the first two guys get on base.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 9, 2006 -> 03:39 AM) I'm sick of this manager crap. The closer was given a two run lead. You don't yank the closer even if he is pathetic like tonight. Our team is a joke all the way around. When your closer is injured, you pull his freaking ass before you face one of the best lefties in baseball.

Our manager is as unlikeable as it gets in baseball.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 9, 2006 -> 03:36 AM) How can you possibly blame Ozzie for that?? It's ALL on Jenks HE'S HURT, AND LOOKS LIKE CRAP!!! After two batters, he should have been pulled. Ozzie is a disgrace of a manager.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Sep 9, 2006 -> 03:36 AM) The 11 LOB may come back to haunt us. And the complete lack of urgency by our manager.

Thanks Ozzie! I hope you're enjoying your nap on the bench.

Wow, that inexcusable by Anderson. You have to be playing no doubles. Get Jenks out of the freaking game! Why do we continue to throw Marte only fastballs?

Oh boy...here we go. Awful slider from Jenks. He's completely lost his swagger on the mound.

Thornton should be warming up to start the inning, as if Jenks doesn't have anything, you can let him face Sizemore in a tough spot.

Excellent!! Very nice swing by Cintron. I have so much more confidence in him to get the job done at the plate than I do Iguchi.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 9, 2006 -> 03:22 AM) He is going to be a doubles type hitter. Lots of line drive power oppo. He will give us great defense. He probably wont be a dong hitter. But we have enough of those. HE NEEDS TO DECIDE IF HE WANTS TO BE A POWER HITTER OR SPEED PLAYER. Thankfully KW traded Chris Young...that would suck for Ozzie if we had someone who could do both.

Good job Pods....positive things can happen when you make contact with 2 strikes.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 9, 2006 -> 03:19 AM) He is 21, and needs more seasoning. He still has the best swing in our minor league organization. Winter ball is going to help Mr. Sweeney. Yep, but people were comparing him to great players like Sizemore just three days ago. I just hope that he turns out to not be our version of Sean Burroughs. I'm optimistic that he'll become a fine player.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 9, 2006 -> 03:18 AM) Anderson is to 2006, what Gload was to 2005. Basically, the anti-Timo. Ozzie used to find any excuse possible to put Timo in the game. It seems like it's the opposite with Anderson.

That loud sound is the Sweeney bandwagon coming to a crashing halt.

Jenks is warming up. I hope Hafner's not able to ph.

Lefty on the mound...why not let Anderson ph here?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 9, 2006 -> 03:14 AM) It's like game 3 of the World Series all over again, Ozzie is such a sentimental dude It's still my favorite moment to reference whenever anyone says that Ozzie was the only manager that could have led us to the World Series.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 9, 2006 -> 03:13 AM) Hermanson to pitch the 9th???? If he does, Ozzie should be fired.

Luna with a very nice game for us.

QUOTE(Frank the Tank 35 @ Sep 9, 2006 -> 03:11 AM) Just another example of our players picking each other up. Ozuna coming up with the big DP when Pauly failed. That's pretty good! QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ Sep 9, 2006 -> 03:11 AM) Where is Matt? I like the MacDougal/Choo match-up better than Thornton vs Blake.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 9, 2006 -> 03:10 AM) Some light reading for our hitters. Make sure that Mr. Walker doesnt catch you reading it though. Even Ozuna has been pull happy the last few games.

Wow, we completely wasted that inning by sitting around waiting for the 3 run homer.
