QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 03:02 AM) I didn't. It just seems like I haven't seen him pitch in forever so I figured I'd ask and see if something was up. I thought I heard both him and Crosby would be back by the end of the year.

Ozzie is dying to put on a hit-and-run here. Might as well, Widger's seeing the ball well.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 02:59 AM) I love it also when our highest paid pitcher decides not to show up sometimes. Its a bad team, f*** it, take the night off. At least he's living up to the reputation he had before he got here.

Lets score 5 runs this inning, and bring in Baj!

Good job Politte! I don't care if Sweeney hits a ball 500 feet, you can't walk him to start the 9th.

CREDE CAUGHT A FOUL BALL LATE IN THE GAME!!!

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 02:53 AM) Also, I can't complain about giving Hermanson some additional rest given his back. If you warm up Hermanson, you have to bring him in.

Maybe we might want to shade Guiel in the hole more? Big batter here in Long.

If only we had Shingo!!!!! GONG

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 02:50 AM) I don't think you can say that until you see what happens. Politte's been good against Lefties this year too. (As has Jenks, for that matter) I know, I'm just saying it before anything happens so that I can't be accused of 2nd guessing. However, I'm thrilled with the way the Sox handled the Marte stuff today. If what I heard is true, they're just going to have him step away from baseball for a week or so, and then take it from there.

We miss having another lefty reliever in the bullpen already.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 02:45 AM) I don't want Baj to pitch. He won't be. He was up in case we scored a few runs this inning.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 02:44 AM) Well people on this board keep saying he's so awesome and unhittable, so I expect greatness when he's out there. Fair enough, but I didn't see you say anything about Garcia not getting his job done.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 02:42 AM) And Bmac. and sanders. Cotts came in to get those two lefties out so we wouldn't have to face Sweeney. Ozzie showed faith in Cotts to get those two guys out so we wouldn't face the tying run Sweeney. He didn't get that job done, so Ozzie had to make the change to someone who could get Sweeney out. For someone who is more positive than any other sports fan I know, you're sure tough on Neal Cotts.

Iguchi just ground out on the first pitch?

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 02:39 AM) I think he was doing that, Fathom, or at least challenging his highest paid pitcher to get his head out of his ass so we can stay with Cleveland. The time for playing mind games with players is over. There are less than 3 weeks left in the season.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 02:39 AM) Then don't bring in Cotts in the first place. He's now put our bullpen in a real s***ty position. We have Hermanson left, a tired Jenks, and Bajenaru. Politte

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 02:39 AM) Excellent 1.1 innings thus far Viz. I bet Ozzie lets him start the 8th, and I don't think I'll second guess him unless people start getting on and he leaves Viz in there. Now let's get another run or eight! Viz should get to start the 8th, but if they get one runner, then Cliff should come in. It hurts not having a lefty to face their 1-2 guys in their order.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 02:38 AM) Thats a big spot and I'd much rather have VIz (who cleaned up COtts mess last week agianst Sweeney) facing Sweeney than COtts. Why? Cotts is dominant against righties. Not only that, but KC had 2 out of 3 lefties after Sweeney was up. I'm just happy that Viz got the job done.

Good job Viz!

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 02:35 AM) This is why you try to keep Freddy in as long as possible. Cliff threw a lot of pitches last night. Jenks pitched 2 innings. Now you have to go to Viz for awhile. We do have more relievers than usual in the pen, but I doubt Ozzie trusts them enough for a close game. If Marte's going to be out for the year, Ozzie has got to let Cotts go longer in the game.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 02:34 AM) Fathom you think Oz didn't know Fred had jacks*** for stuff? Oz has been around baseball about 30 years. Oz knew. Oz also knows there's no excuse for Fred sucking like that. It's ridiculous to think Oz didn't know Freddie was sucking. Then why would he start him that inning? I hope Ozzie wasn't trying to challenge Garcia at the expense of the team.

Viz is all over the place. We're one meatball away from a tie game. Oh boy, Hawk just said he has a bad feeling about this game.

Michael Barrett just got creamed by a pitch on the helmet.

Ha, Hawk just said a pitch was close that almost hit the dirt.
