HOLY s***!!!

Well...all you could ask for is getting the tying run to the plate.

Should have been taking until he gets a strike.

Ozuna's best chance of reaching vs Lidge is to try and bunt.

Vazquez threw his glove in the dugout, and even the bench hit it hard.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 02:33 AM) wrong, he is fooling hitters. he's just making stupid decisions (along with AJ, tonight) such as throwing a fastball on an 0-2 count with 2 outs... he just doesn't have it, plain and simple. now, remember, jose contreras did not get his act together until being with the sox for a full year. give him time, he's way more valuable than luis vizquaino and el duque All you have to do is look at his WHIP for the last month or so. It's above 2.0. For someone with his stuff, that means he's not fooling a lot of hitters. His inability to avoid the big inning is still hurting him this year, and it's been his downfall in years past.

Man...this might have been the worst series for our 3-4-5 all season. QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 02:45 AM) A mediocre game by Javy would have made this one winnable. Springer would have never been in to pitch.

If Thome was ever going to bunt, this is a great spot.

BTW...even if we lose this game, it's great to see the effort coming back by the Sox. It all started when Ozzie smiled in the dugout!

And follows the stupid swing with a homer. THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T LEAVE A STARTING PITCHER ON THE MOUND TO GIVE UP EVEN MORE RUNS TO START AN INNING WHEN THEY STRUGGLED THE INNING BEFORE!

Interesting stat, but did anyone else hear that Oswalt has the highest percentage of called 3rd strikes in all of baseball? It makes sense that some of our guys would struggle with him. Stupid by Iguchi.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 02:33 AM) I love getting into team's pens. We ain't dead yet. Sometimes it seems like a video game where the relief pitchers are always worse than the starting pitchers.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 02:30 AM) Man, the rotation is gonna look way different next year without Garcia, Garland and Vazquez. It's going to be Contreras, Buehrle, McCarthy, Broadway, and McCullough. My buddy flash might not be able to watch any game not started by Contreras.

QUOTE(Dan @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 02:27 AM) a wise man once told me, if your gettin' raped, might as well lean back and enjoy it. Fair enough...the pet peeve started when someone said that a go-ahead homer by a certain AL Central player wasn't too bad, as he had him on his fantasy team. SUCK 'EM UP PABLO!

QUOTE(Dan @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 02:24 AM) :finger Sorry, don't take it personally. I just hate when people state stuff about how someone doing good against the White Sox is good for their fantasy team. Did you see Ozzie in the dugout there? He was smiling...HE'S NO LONGER DEPRESSED!!

Since I'm always the optimist, at least the Yankees are losing 5-0 right now.

QUOTE(Dan @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 02:22 AM) im glad i started Oswalt for Fantasy today Fathom's pet peeve #1 was just violated.

Vazquez has been our best pitcher against the Indians so far. He's just not fooling a lot of batters right now, and his WHIP/ERA is flying up.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 02:15 AM) So what exactly is Don Cooper doing that is so amazing? Vazquez is as s***ty this year as he has been in the last 5 years. He's not amazing. However, I give him credit for helping Thornton this year. Vazquez has done a much better job keeping the ball in the park this season, but as it gets hotter out, he's going to really have to start folling hitters better.

I wouldn't put it past Oswalt/Garner to throw at a Sox hitter in the next few innings.

QUOTE(Dan @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 02:13 AM) awww forget Javy, lets just get back Scott Schoenweis Well....thankfully, we didn't have a potential 5th starter in sight coming into this season. :banghead

BTW, Vazquez's ERA is now officially 5

QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 02:12 AM) Javy is a pretty decent 5th starter. But not against Oswald I don't think KW gave up as much as he did in order to bring in a high-priced 5th starter.

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 02:09 AM) What a f***ing joke of a pitching performance tonight, all around. Montero, how the hell do you get to stay here over Tracey?? How did Montero pitch in the 8th inning against the Tigers in a one run game?

QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 02:08 AM) Fire a guy who won the oranization's first title in 88 years? I dunno... I think KW and Ozzie just need to talk about everything and clear some air. No, what I'm saying is that if this poster was right, and Ozzie's going to act depressed, then I don't want him in the f***ing dugout. I'm sure Ozzie is fine though, so I think the depressed comment was inaccurate.
