That's about to be a Yankees lead. It must be nice to have the offense to comeback so quickly from a deficit. I bet H. Matsui isn't getting caught stealing.

Rowand is not a three hole hitter. We don't really have a bonafide three hole hitter. We have a clean-up/ five hole hitter in konerko.
And one could argue the lack of a three hole hitter is what's hurt our offense the most this year.
QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 12:38 AM)
I think Freddy just got pissed off. Finally. He MUST challenge these f***s. They've made their run against a soft schedule. You cannot let them get ahead in the count. Attack, attack, attack.
They've beat every team they've played lately, good or bad. This Indians team is EXCELLENT! They have no weak links.
QUOTE(CWSOX45 @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 12:37 AM)
Yeah but our offense is to blame as well. It has been nearly non existant for the past 2 months. Minus the streak where we won 7 in a row.
Our offense has been non existent basically all season. This team is where they're at because of the starting pitching. RARELY has this offense picked up the starting pitching. I wonder how many games we've won this year where our pitching allowed 5 or more runs.
This is why we're an awful match-up vs these Indians now. They're swinging the bats so well, that we can't outslug them.
QUOTE(CWSOX45 @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 12:35 AM)
This offense really does suck. I dont know why Walker is still around.

This has more to do with our 9 million dollar pitcher having an ERA approaching 4.75 in the 2nd half of the season.

Here's your 9 million bucks, don't bother trying.
I said this last year, and I'll say it again: When Ozzie goes, I hope this overrated non-competitor goes also.

ain't no dead arm.
it's location and his breaking ball ain't sharp.
rooney and farmer said his heater is 93 or 94
For some reason, he thinks he can keep challenging Hafner with a flat fastball down the cock.

Devil Rays 4, BoSox 2 bottom 3
chance for this to be a good night -- but freddie better turn it up
Long, long, long way to go in both of those games.
Not a very promising start. Garcia putting us in an early hole was the worst thing that could have happened. We should be thankful it's not 3-0 with the junk he was throwing up there.
QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 12:16 AM)
get somebody up in the pen.
garcia ain't got nuttin
When both your manager and pitching coach ask if you're injured, isn't that pretty obvious the pitcher is running on fumes?
QUOTE(CYGarland @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 12:15 AM)
Freddy looks like he's got nothing tonite so far. Who comes in if he starts getting shellacked??
He'll have to give up 10 runs to not pitch 6 innings.
QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 19, 2005 -> 08:02 PM)
What's the logic behind that one?
A psychologist would have a field day with some of the defense mechanisms I've seen by people on this board lately. My personal favorite is that the Sox have nothing to lose.
