Iguchi showed up late to the game cause of traffic.

QUOTE(SnB @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 01:16 AM) JC has been absolutely fantastic as of late playoff rotation? yes Yep, and I can't believe how some people want Duque in the rotation. Even though he seems to be throwing better lately, his numbers over his last 5 starts are still real bad. A very good game for Duque still equates to about 3 runs allowed. A good game for the 4 other starters means 0 or 1 run.

jphat....where were you in the Fathom appreciation thread last night?

Great job Contreras! Also, it was very nice to see Willie not rush that double play. With any tricky hop lately, I have a feeling I'm not the only Sox fan that gets a little nervous.

Cancel the post game. Not quite sure Dye got a very good jump on that play.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 01:06 AM) Gah. Why is everyone playing good defense against us. thats such BS It didn't look like Monroe had a chance to catch that. The thing that hurts is that it always seems the great defensive plays directly result in the Sox not scoring a run.

Why are outfielders just making sensational catches against the Sox now? Bring back Milton Bradley!!!

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 01:02 AM) Yes!!!!!!!! we play better in front of crappy crowds. It's amazing, isn't it!

Wow, AJP running quite funny there. I thought for a second he might have hurt himself. Just AJP being AJP, I guess. Great swings by our last two hitters!

Great to see AJP hitting the ball to the opposite field. We need to get the runner in from 3rd with less than two outs.

Well, DJ is now doing number crunching in order to find out what record the Indians need to have if the Sox go 15-16 the rest of the way.

Just once, I would like to see Ozzie give Dye a shot at batting 3rd. It just seems like Everett's swing has gotten way too long.

Having Harris, Pods, and Ozuna bat consecutively reminds me of a softball team built on bunting the ball.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 12:47 AM) Good thing we didn't play for one run I liked the move....but Ozuna just has to try and avoid hitting it up the middle. Nothing you can do about that though. However, it would be nice of Hawk to just shut up. He keeps saying how bad of a break that was. How was that a bad break Hawk? How about the fact we only had two guys on because Pods got lucky on a bad bunt?

Well....that sucked. That was the one place we couldn't afford for Ozuna to hit the ball.

According to Hawk, Iguchi was late showing up to the game tonight. That's why he's not playing.

The worst thing about playing Willie is that with Pudge behind the plate, it's not like we're going to be running much anyways. I simply hate the "Ike Turner" slap lineup in the game when we're playing good hitting teams.

In theory, bringing in all that equipment sounds good. The problem is that there's just so many assholes there that are trying to make things miserable and impossible for everyone else.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 11:39 PM) Shoot to kill at that point. If anyone even points a gun at anyone, they need to take action to protect people. Its the only way that law and order will be restored. Exactly, and you know they'll start saying it's a racial thing. At this point, like you said, they need to do everything they can to protect these people.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 11:36 PM) Willie's 0-13 against Johnson. :sleep I'd rather have Blum at 2nd base than Willie. Another lineup tonight where we have 3 players with ZERO homers in the same lineup. I guarantee that not many AL teams in the last few years can say the same thing this late in the season.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 11:35 PM) they said gooch was having trouble seeing out of his right eye? Well that's not good. Considering that there's likely nothing accute that caused that, it could be either a real quick recovery, or something that can linger on for a while.

Oh boy, that's not good that Iguchi is out. We suffer such an offensive downgrade with Harris in the lineup. If we knew that Iguchi was having injury problems, and didn't try to upgrade at 2nd base over Willie, then that's a big blunder by KW.

Those people shooting at medical workers and other helpers deserve to be thrown in jail for life. My father went down there yesterday to help as a doctor on an emergency response team, and he said it's just an absolute war zone.

Nicely done. Let me add a few thoughts of my own: - Neal Cotts has improved more from one season to the next than any pitcher I can remember in a long time. - The best move KW has made in the last year for the long-term future of this organization was claiming Bobby Jenks. - Baseball announcers need to check their ego at the door. - Dusty Baker should not have a job.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 10:21 PM) AHEM, you forgot someone that single handedly won us a game. I didn't know Timo was a rookie?
