QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 01:30 AM) It would be funny if Boston, New York and Cleveland all lost too. Then they could put Detroit, Tampa, Toronto and Baltimore in the playoffs. It would be better for the Sox at this moment if the AL East teams lost. The Indians stuff doesn't matter as much. This team needs all the help it can get to make the playoffs.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 01:29 AM) HOW THE f*** DO YOU DROP TWO TO THE f***ING TIRGERS WITH YOUR PLAYOFF LIVES ON THE LINE? Because the Tigers have an actual offense. This isn't the f***ing Tigers team from a few years ago we're talking about.

Can we now agree this is an epic choke job?

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 01:22 AM) It's true you could have skipped Blum's AB & let AJ hit but consider that LH's are hitting .200 vs Spurling & RH's are hitting .238. Blum had never faced him before. Blum was about our 5th best option on the bench. No stats justify him batting.

Rowand with one of the most pathetic games I've ever seen.

That looked like a ball. It was a great pitch to hit if you read it all the way.

Good swing by Iguchi.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 01:16 AM) Let me try & explain .. why Blum. Borchy PH for Ozuna & then was replaced in the field by AJ. Blum PH for Widger & then replaced Ozuna in the field. You needed a defensive replacement at 3B in that sit. Who else is there? You bring in Blum after the ph bats. It's quite simple.

No K's looking Pods

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 01:12 AM) This is what choking looks like. And its starting at the top with this team. How many times have we said that lately?

QUOTE(JimH @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 01:11 AM) I understand what some posters are saying about Blum being a pinch hitter but there is no way I wouldn't have given Pierzynski the chance to redeem himself. Absolutely. He has the most power on the bench, and he's also one of our "core" players that Ozzie supposedly can't win without.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 01:09 AM) apparently you are too lazy to use your brain cells as well. Meaning what? He's shown absolutely no ability to make in-game decisions in the last months, which is when the team needs the manager the most. Yes, he doesn't control what the players do. However, he's in charge of putting the team in the best chance to succeed. He's completely failed this team with that. And with this team continuing to look lethargic, isn't he supposed to be the great motivator?

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 01:09 AM) Maybe Ozzie will quit because the questions are too tough. Maybe Nossek resigned because Ozzie didn't know how to manage and wouldn't listen to anyone about managing. He'll just tell reporters to f*** off like he supposedly told George Offman last week.

QUOTE(SnB @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 01:08 AM) where's jphat? Probably upset that Blum hit that ball hard, but right at the pitcher.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 01:08 AM) Well I can tell you why he did it. I don't agree with it, but I can tell you why. If he pinch hits a lefty, Walker comes in which just kills us. So he brings in a switch hitter so they have to stay with Spurling. Thats the logic of it. YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME!

I figured that I would start is, as I'm the person too lazy to start fireozzieguillen.com.

So, anyone think they can actually defend Ozzie now? Our fearless manager CONTINUES to show us he has no f***ing clue. QUIT OZZIE, I'm begging you.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 01:05 AM) DP for Blum. This is why I wouldn't take Ozzie over Dusty Baker. I wouldn't take Ozzie over the blind lady across the street.

FIRE OZZIE GUILLEN!!! WHAT A TERRIBLE f***ING MANAGER!

Blum? Are you f***ing kidding me Ozzie? With Gload and AJP on the bench?

Great job of going with the pitch by Borchard! Gload should be batting here.

Swing hard in case you hit it.

QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 12:59 AM) I can't believe everett is still playing they should take him out next time he wiffs He'll be playing the next 6 games now. Good job Carl in that situation!

Give 'em a thrill Borchard!

Borchard's on deck!
