QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 07:17 PM) How the gosh darn was this game Ozzie's fault? It's Ozzie's fault Iguchi doesn't have the range to get to that softly hit ball? It's Ozzie's fault Iguchi had a mental fart and didn't throw home? You're reaching at best, here. I was saying in general that Ozzie shows no urgency if we're losing. Catalanotto rarely faces lefties, and they don't have anyone dangerous on the bench to come up in that situation. I'd rather take my chances with Cotts against Cat instead of a tired Contreras against someone who always gives us problems. Please don't get me started though on our team speed/defensive range.

QUOTE(DABearSoX @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 07:17 PM) why the hell can't we complete these sweeps, even with our best pitcher goin....SOAB Garland pitched in game 1 of this series. You can throw out the ERAs for all of our pitchers. Jon is clearly our best guy now.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 07:15 PM) Just cant give away these chances to sweep. Last year, all we had to do was win the series, and everything would work itself out. Its not 2005. We have got to win more than we lose in the next 2 weeks, plain and simple.

One of my biggest complaints about Ozzie is he shows no urgency in the 7th or 8th inning of games when this team is losing. There have been so many times this year where we allow an insurance run in the 7th inning.

Pathetic baseball, pathetic managing. How many times will our pitchers allow a run in the 7th inning before Ozzie realizes that the starting pitching getting the win isn't important? I'm very disappointed in our outfield defense today.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 07:09 PM) Strike out looking, get picked off, and let the ball hit like a brick off of what he calls a glove He hits the cut-off man nicely on his throws to the plate.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 07:04 PM) Hawk's really butchering some names today For as good as Hawk/DJ have been recently, they've been real bad today. Hawk's been slupring this team more than usual today (Cooper, Pods).

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 07:01 PM) Great inning offense, way to work him The Jays might try to get 2 innings out of Ryan. They're pretty desperate for a win.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 07:01 PM) Did Shoenweiss ever have a 1-2-3 inning when he was with the Sox? Of course, he never had a one pitch at bat form Scott Pods to make it easier. Pods makes me ill. I got a laugh out of DJ saying how our first two batters hit the ball hard this inning.

That's a great baseball player. I can't believe someone would think he's underrated.

Lets hope we can get a few runs and win this. It would be very disappointing to lose a game where the Blue Jays only had one strong inning, and we left numerous guys on base.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 06:49 PM) Manuel needs to stop messing up our Sunday games. Oh wait, he is gone. I don't blame Ozzie so far for this result. I will say that we need to keep Uribe on the field. I can't see how benching him is going to improve the mental funk he's in throwing the ball.

We're going to see Schoeneweis next inning.

So far, outfield range has decided this game. Rios showed a lot of speed preventing Cintron from a likely triple.

I don't get it. Burnett throws hard, and Molina throws well.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 06:40 PM) Right hander comes up, the Count becomes a side armer. And he cant control it as well, he is leaving it up also. He's left more hittable pitches out over the plate for righties today than he did in every start before he got injured. I thought it was interesting that righties are hitting him better than lefties this season.

For anyone who saw the replay....could Dye have caught the double by Rios down the line?

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 06:34 PM) Keep pulling it AJ. The last week you have been hot with spraying the ball all over, today for whatever reason you are thinking right side only. It's been amazing to see the pitch recognition by Thome, PK, and Dye this wknd. For the others...not so much.

AJP at his pull baseball worst today.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 06:22 PM) Jose does look awful today, hopefully he can turn it around quick, or the BP is going to have to win this one for us Jose's just leaving so many pitches over the heart of the plate. He was great last year/beginning of this year when he's throw fastballs in, and sliders/forkballs away. It seems like half of his pitches today our outside fastballs at 88 mph.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 06:22 PM) Even as a joke, this is become way annoying. No, I was basically referring to the praise Hawk was giving him earlier.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 06:21 PM) We now don't have a starter with an ERA under 3.70 What a bad year for the Sox starters. Don't worry, Cooper is amazing!!

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 06:19 PM) way too many mistakes by Jose today He looks awful. He just isn't consistent with all these arm angles. Might I ask, is he another pitcher who's lost his velocity? He's been around 90 mph all game, with a few pitches in the 94 range. Earlier in the year, he was 95 a lot of the time. QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 06:19 PM) Pods weak arm allows the runner to score from 2nd. He had no chance. However, this inning was just another example of how our outfield defense continues to give no support to our pitchers.

Damn...very close pitch there.

Brian has got to bust his ass running back to get that. He could have caught that.
