Gotta get Bartlett out here.

Excellent that the Yanks lose. What did Jeter do?

Kinda funny that two times in 3 days, we score a huge run late in the game, and they still manage to piss us off!

Holy f***ing s***, we always shoot ourselves in the foot!

JPHAT....WE CAUGHT A BREAK!! Good job making contact Dye!

Just make contact please! Anything but a K.

Gload instead of Harris or Ozuna?

Now would you run for PK? I think you have to, as a single to the outfield likely won't score him.

QUOTE(SnB @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 08:05 PM) how he has stayed in the middle of the order is beyond me Dusty Guillen loves his veterans.

QUOTE(Tadahito15 @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 08:04 PM) CE is the worst #3 hitter in all MLB. Period. We've been saying that for 3 months. Pathetic that he's still in that spot.

Would you have Harris run for PK now?

Absolutely terrible AB by Everett. Takes the fastball right down the cock, and then swings at one over his head. Veteran leadership....YES!

Good AB by Iguchi, bad results.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 08:00 PM) Cmon. Someone run into one. At least we know our 3-4 hitters will be swinging for the fences.

QUOTE(SnB @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 07:59 PM) i can't say enough good things about JC today I would have had to put myself in handcuffs if Pods just didn't jump for that ball, and it went over the fence by a foot.

BTW, if the Sox don't make the playoffs, no one will give a s*** what their record was this season. Fair or not, anything but a playoff season will now be just as bad as going 40-122.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 07:58 PM) 1st year in the NL too. Not too bad IMO Don't forget some pretty good pitching rotations in that division.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 07:56 PM) Carlos hit .275 this year. He was pretty much Jermaine Dye with more RBIs in more chances. In a world where contracts don't matter, if you take Pods off this team, but Carlos in the 3rd spot, and move Rowand to the leadoff spot, and you'd have yourself a significantly better offense.

QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 07:44 PM) I felt that way at the time, and I don't think it's fair to hold him responsible now that the Sox have begun to slide. The Sox slide began well before the waiver deadline expired.

Question: How does KW and Ozzie justify trading power for a leadoff hitter after the season when our offense was significantly worse?

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 07:51 PM) The worst offense in the majors under display. Glad to see that Pods was the electric starter we needed to ignite our offense. I am glad that August was just a figment of my imagination. This offense is terrible. Its Kyle f***ing Lohse. They are going to replace him next year because he sucks, with the Liriano guy they just brought up. 2 hits and 1 run off of baker. We score 1 run in the 10 after loading the bases with no outs. 0 runs and 16 strikeouts yesterday 1 run on a few hits today. Don't forget 2 runs in 6 innings on Thursday against a guy with a 4-16 record and an ERA about 6.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 07:51 PM) Why can't they just admit there choking and get it over with It's official, we need to start a running thread with all of Hawk's great quotes over the remainder of the season. Since a possible collapse is the things we'll tell our grandchildren about, why not have a collection of quotes. Think of it as a time capsule.

To me, this season got comical when we lost 7 games in a row because we couldn't score a single run, and our beloved announcer kept saying "Where would he play"?

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 07:50 PM) This season is becoming that too. becoming?

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 07:48 PM) OH i know. Just saying it coulda been worse. He coulda sucked in 2 ways. I'm reaching for anything at this point. Haha, at least you can admit it!
