QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 09:27 PM) You're not even watching the game, are you? Nope....I'm just basing that on the last 2 full innings. If I'm wrong....then I blame jabroni for falsely representing the action on the field.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 09:26 PM) We've done a lot of things wrong, but we were still the better team today, so lets win this thing. Of course it would be great to win this, but we've had plenty of chances to win this game. I hate to see this undisciplined approach though.

We don't deserve to win this game.

What was so close?

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 09:13 PM) Iguchi looks REAL good. Spring training doesn't mean s***. Yep, which is why Cotts should have been in over Logan.

Would Iguchi have had a double or triple on it? Also, did Pods chase ball 4?

Great job by our glue guys (Cliff and Cotts) against the top/heart of Cleveland's order.

Pathetic last inning and a half. It's very disturbing that our bullpen already blew the lead in our first close game.

QUOTE(GoTribe @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 08:48 PM) Nice K by Mota.. One more out now... This matchup scares.. Pods vs. Mota... What a game! Again, I honestly don't get this cheerleading one bit.

One thing I don't want to see is Logan pitching to more than 2 or 3 batters a game. Part of what has made him effective is his deception. Letting him go multiple innings yesterday gives the opposition a chance to get used to his delivery.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 08:31 PM) Maybe Ozzie wanted to throw Logan right into the fire, to see what he's got in close games. Isn't that how Ozzie used Jenks when he was called up? World of difference between Jenks and Logan.

Hopefully Boone s***ting the bed in these situations will show Ozzie that he shouldn't be put into big situations yet. I too am not sure why we didn't keep McCarthy in.

Good job Ozzie! GMAFB

STOP GIVING UP OUTS IN FRONT OF OUR BIG GUYS! Sorry, I just had to get that off my chest.

What happened?

Pods...just the person you don't want up in that situation.

Great job by Contreras battling out of an inning with two infield singles.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 07:23 PM) No, I go to school with them. But this is why they don't matter anymore. They did before, but the argument died when we won it all. However it could come back if the Cubs were to make the playoffs and do something, which is why once October comes around I'd root against the Cubs if they still are alive. I completely agree with that stance, but I'd rather they just not make the playoffs at all. Thus, it's never too early for them to start losing, especially to pathetic pitching teams like the Reds.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 07:22 PM) Why would my stance have changed since the last time we discussed this? Pods was awesome in the playoffs, which is the only thing that has happened since then. I was just wondering if there was a change of heart.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 07:20 PM) lol this Grady vs. Pods debate is funny. Cleveland had 2 better leadoff hitters on their roster alone than Pods last year. Don't worry, this was a legitimate debate on here last season.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 07:19 PM) I would rather them lose too, but I no longer pay attention. They mean nothing to me unless they make the playoffs, at which point I'd root against them lol. Do you work with annoying ass Cubs fans? If you do, then I think you know why I hate them even more.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 07:17 PM) Ehh they no longer matter. I'd rather they lose every game instead of win.

Time for the age old question....jphat, would you still rather have Pods than Sizemore as a leadoff hitter?

Indians have a great chance to score this inning. It already seems like our starters are having trouble getting our team back in the dugout after our offense scores.

CUBS LOSE!
