QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 08:02 PM) How bout the 3 singles from these three like the other night. Dye matches up the best against Rivera.

It's too bad Pods hit into a DP last inning. We've completely outplayed the Yankees today.

QUOTE(Felix @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:58 PM) You spoke about 6 outs too early. 9-6 now, and still no outs in the 8th. Man, the Tigers have "it". It's too bad they're competing with us, as I would really admire them if they were in the NL.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:58 PM) At the least, I see that Detroit's played poor against KC this weekend, too, and was fortunate that they were playing KC, because that's the only reason they pulled out their wins, aside from Verlander's. I take some heart in the way they've been playing. They just won 3 out of 4. With their record so far, that type of "crappy" play will let them cruise into the playoffs. It's not like we kicked the s*** out of KC last year when we'd beat them. We had an insane amount of one run, lucky wins vs them last year.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:56 PM) The dude is hitting .200 on the year. THe fact that you single me out is hilarious. Everybody hates on Pods and you dont' say a thing when everybody is hating on him when he is crushing BA offensively. THe double standard is hilarious. Am I actually seeing an argument between two of the most optimistic posters on this site? Next thing you know is that Milkman and I are going to get into an argument.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:56 PM) What the f*** are you talking about? Gload can do everything Mackowiak does for a fraction of the cost. He's just not getting a chance. Shut up It's just simply amazing that we're almost 100 games into the season, and we still have the same holes on our roster that we did the opening weekend.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:52 PM) .330+ with RISP. 2 for 3 with 2 walks on the day. Then you are going to say he's not clutch when one of the best closers of all time gets him out? I would have rather had a righty on the bench we could have hit in that situation. Lefties have no prayer against Rivera. Of course, Gload continues to be a waste of a roster spot.

Torre continues just a masterful job of managing this weekend.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:52 PM) No, but if it was Brian that hit into that DP, you would have been all over him. Funny how that works.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:51 PM) Just one of those weekends. Unfortunately it is two in a row. That was more them than us last week though. It's too bad we can't face the national league anytime soon. Those terrible teams hide our lack of fundamentals/coaching.

PATHETIC! This is truly disgusting. We need a righty outfielder off of the bench.

With the way Pods swings, he has no chance to hit Rivera's cutter square.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:48 PM) Considering how difficult it is to bunt off Rivera, I would have realized afer the first attempt it's better to swing. That would require actual insight by our coaching staff.

He better be swinging away on the 0-2.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:46 PM) Go back to April, and watch those 3 pitch K's in the dirt with his long, loopy swing. You just dont see those AB's anymore. He is a total different hitter. Exactly. His swing is shorter. He's actually one of our better line drive hitters now. It's great to see, and everyone knows I'm not a homer.

QUOTE(minorsfan @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:45 PM) Josh Fields was taken out because of injury I think it is a precautionary move, he got his knee hit by the helmet of a Pawtucket player when he slide into third. He stayed in the game but was removed to be safe I assume since Velandia was available on the bench Good to hear he wasn't traded. Hopefully he's ok. I fear that we'll trade him for a middle reliever.

Uribe's going to be bunting here, and it better be good, or else Crede's going to be a dead duck at third.

Anderson's really been putting together good at-bats. It doesn't seem very long ago where he was an automatic out at the plate.

Seems quite fitting that with all the runners we've had on today, and when we finally get a home run, it was leading off the inning.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:40 PM) The same radar gun which had Jaret Wright at 94-96mph and Farnsworth at 93-94? I don't want to suggest a conspiracy, but I notice with Garcia more than any other starter there's always a problem with radar guns. I recall against Bedard on CSN he was registered at 95-97 and Garcia was at 88-90. Which really speaks to his missing velocity -- not even a generous radar gun can make it look good. I've absolutely noticed this also.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:38 PM) Hey Admins: this thread has a curseword in the title. Does that mean we're allowed to curse in our titles, as long as we asterik a letter? You did say no one was exempt from the new rules. Trouble maker

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:37 PM) I think its a real waste using all those pitches in a game we are losing with an off day coming up but who knows. It could be things like this that led to Freddy's drop in velocity. He was throwing a few more FB's the past 3 innings and I think he gave up just 1 hit during that span. Especially as it would have been nice to give Tracey and Thornton an inning of relief today.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:33 PM) I was being extremely sarcastic. You know me better than that. My sincere apologies.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:31 PM) As bad as Garcia's pitched today, he's really kept us in the game. I think the opposite....he put us in a huge hole rather early in this game. He's just lucky he's buddies with Ozzie....95 pct of MLB starters would have been pulled in the 4th inning.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:30 PM) My sources tell me Josh Fields has been traded to San Francisco for Jason Schmidt, "Balco" Bonds, Omar Vizquel, Armando Benitez, Mike Mathney, Matt Cain, Noah Lowry, Pedro Feliz, 3 packs of MLB Baseballs, and 4 packets of sunflower seeds. Sounds good. Where would Bonds play?
