QUOTE(downstairs @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 07:36 PM) I don't disagree with the move. I was just poking fun at the comment that he's pitching like a Cy Young candidate. I was being sarcastic, because that's the type of move that Ozzie would never make.

This offense continues to shine down the stretch!

QUOTE(CWSOX45 @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 07:34 PM) Yeah I realize that. Just I'm watching on yahoo game center, and it said Tyner walked, so I got pissed at Contreras. Also considering I'm going on 4 hrs of sleep...and this f***ing offense...FUCCCKKK If they would just win i wouldnt b**** for awhile He didn't walk Tyner!

QUOTE(downstairs @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 07:33 PM) Wow... they took a Cy Young candidate out in a 1-1 tie in the 6th? Yeah, it's an amazing concept. Taking out your starting pitcher before they get in trouble that inning, instead of letting them put two runners on base.

Yanks trail 5-4

Terrible read, lucky catch.

Gardenhire is treating this like a playoff game taking out Lohse already. What a disaster that we could only score one run against him.

QUOTE(CWSOX45 @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 07:31 PM) Kudos to ya. I just hope the Sox win so I can stop b****ing about random s***, it's really affecting my mental health... There's no one on this board who likes to b**** about random s*** more than myself. However, Contreras is the absolute last person to complain about right now. I could think of about 30 people in the Sox organization who could be blamed about before I'd even think of blaming Contreras.

QUOTE(CWSOX45 @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 07:29 PM) All I'm saying is that Contreras has a tendency to walk lead-off guys after getting a lead. He's been doing it all year. He always gives up the "dreaded lead-off" walk. Earlier this season when he did that they usually scored, but as late he's been pretty good of stranding baserunners. Contreras is never going to have great control. At least he's able to prevent the other time from getting a lot of hits. It's a lot worse when the guy has no control and no ability to get hitters out.....like El Duque now!

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 07:28 PM) 2 of those were leadoff walks. Neither came after after we just scored. Yah I understand. I understand you dont' have any clue what you are saying. How anyone can blame Contreras right now is beyond me.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 07:26 PM) We f***ING suck Yes we do! The way we're playing right now, there's about 20 other teams in baseball that I think would be the Sox in a 3 game series.

Nice that our veteran hitters in the lineup are just tanking down the stretch. PK got another awful pitch by Lohse, and looked like a pitcher hitting.

What a terrible 3-1 swing by PK!

QUOTE(Tadahito15 @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 07:24 PM) Ugh. I hate the Twins with a fiery passion. I hate every team in baseball right now.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 07:23 PM) That wasn't that great of a play. The ball wasn't hit that hard. Yeah, but to get the flip off in time was impressive.

Is it too much to ask for a 3 run homer?

Instead of Go, Go, Go......it should be NO, NO, NO!

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 07:21 PM) He had a 2.16 ERA in August and a 2.66 ERA in September. He is dominating. What are you talking about. I'm not talking about the team I am talking about Contreras. Agreed! He's the last person to be blamed for the collapse.

What a terrible AB by Uribe. I don't care if he worked the count full. He's not swinging straight up.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 07:13 PM) LOL. No one's saying he sucks? LOL. What board are you reading? Did I miss something? You said he sucks, as likely a way to make fun of people who were upset with how the inning started. Speaking on behalf of the more negative posters on this site, I was saying that not one of us think he sucks.

QUOTE(downstairs @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 07:11 PM) Agreed... he has got to be much faster to pull starters.... screw respect.... give up 2 runs, you're gone for the evening. Except for Garcia, who has earned the right to be allowed to go as long as possible, EVEN if the manager thinks he might be injured.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 07:12 PM) Contreras sucks. His sub 2.50 ERA the last month and a half isn't good enough! No one is saying he sucks! However, he's definitely prone to having innings where it looks like he can't remember how to pitch.

Wow, thank you AJP!

Has Jose thrown a single fork ball for a strike today?

Ozzie should get someone up in the pen before Contreras gives up 4 runs this inning.
