QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 12:43 AM) Because I don't think Boston will make up 4.5 games in the next 2 1/2 weeks. Especially playing NYY a bunch. Wow

QUOTE(SnB @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 12:42 AM) i'm talking like fathom, oh god how things have changed

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 12:41 AM) wtf are you talking about. I said I was worried about your health if you are worried about a game that doesn't matter in September. I can't imagine what will happen when they matter in October. How do you figure this game doesn't matter?

Zito's getting squeezed big time.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 12:39 AM) Haha. I worry about some of you guys health in October. Bah. Figures Thanks. We could be having a heart attack, and you would say everything is just dandy though.

Good AB by Widger. Tough luck though.

QUOTE(S720 @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 12:34 AM) Against > a 6-ERA pitcher, and we can't even win the game. How the hell are we going to win against MUCH BETTER teams??? Of late, we've really struggled against the best teams.

Wow, his ball moves more than any pitcher in the AL? How does anyone ever hit this guy then?

Well, at least they're not swinging for the fences. Paging SSI!

Westbrook brought his "A" game tonight.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 12:28 AM) THat ball Sweeney hit out wasn't a hanger btw. He was down in the zone. He golfed it out. Haha! It doesn't have to be up in the zone to be a hanger. That curve had very little bite on it, and Sweeney had a great pitch to hit. Even Sox apologist Hawk said Sweeney had 4 great pitches to hit.

What a joke. Way to be prepared tonight Garcia.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 12:25 AM) He's had a quality start in 5 of his last 6 starts. He can't be doing but so bad. All I know is that he's been hanging nearly every offspeed pitch he's thrown lately. He was lucky he didn't allow 5 homers last game with all his hangers.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 12:23 AM) Something is clearly wrong with this Sox team lately... But Carl Everett is the anchor of this offense!

QUOTE(knightni @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 12:23 AM) 24th HR allowed by Garcia this year. 22 of them in the first inning

Garcia has got to nut up and just trust his fastball. Something is clearly wrong with his offspeed pitch lately.

Can Garcia not hang every offspeed pitch he throws? What a f'n joke. And BTW, STFU DJ!

Indians/A's game is back on.

No big inning Freddy!

Carl WAY out in front of every pitch. Why he's playing tonight is really puzzling.

Hopefully he can get it back quick, but PK looks like he's lost his rhythm at the plate. If he gets that same pitch last week, the Sox are up 2-0.

QUOTE(SHAFTR @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 10:14 PM) I kind of hope El Duque gets lit up on Saturday, so we don't have to see him starting in the playoffs. That's the big issue right now. Too many games of our starter getting "lit up", and we won't have anyone starting in the playoffs.

Washburn would give up a ton of homers at the Cell. Not only that, but Washburn seems to get arm/shoulder injuries at least once a season. For the amount of money he'll get, I wouldn't even consider it. We need more help than just a possible 5th starter.

QUOTE(beck72 @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 08:53 PM) A six game lead is a lot different than a 2 or 3 game lead in mid Sept. Hernandez is different than Grilli/ diaz/ Wright. He's a proven big game winner. He should be afforded some leeway. [Not a lot as he's struggled big time for a while now]. But some leeway. Like Ozzie has done. Put him on notice, but give him support as well. He was a big game winner a few years ago when he had a lot better stuff and was healthier. That's like saying that Frank Thomas is one of the best hitters in baseball (to use Jason's argument). Yes, a choke job wouldn't be solely based on Duque, but he would have played a huge role in the poor 2nd half.

All it takes is one good start the rest of the way by Duque, and I guarantee you'll see quotes in the paper by Ozzie saying that he's going to start a playoff game.
