QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 02:06 AM) My good man Ozzie. WTF was that. So we bring in Marte with a one run lead to face Hafner, but don't have the confidence in him when we're down 2? I'm not saying it's the worst decision Ozzie has made this series, but I have a feeling he's going to get bashed for letting Garland face Hafner.

This is in no way a reaction to what just happened, but I'm fairly confident the Indians will win the AL Central due to their easy schedule. They're playing at such a high level now. The Wild Card is a much more likely scenario, IMO.

Haha, what a joke.

QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 02:03 AM) if tampa wins that puts the Yankees ahead by .5 in the East, right? and it would reduce our magic number for the wildcard to 8 Don't forget this...either the Red Sox or Yanks are guaranteed to lose another 2 games this season.

These Indians hitters do a very good job at not getting themselves out.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 02:02 AM) If we can win both the next series, I think we'll win the division and be a shoe-in for the playoffs. To win both series, we'd have to go 6-2. Considering we face Johan tomorrow, I'll be content with 5-3.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 01:58 AM) Boston now losing. WC lead could be 3.5 From what I was told by someone, the magic number vs the Yanks and Red Sox was the same for the Sox coming into tonight.

Yankees win. Be strong Baez!

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 01:57 AM) TB LEADS 5-4!!! J. Gomes is a f***ing stud! Here's an idea....don't pitch to Ortiz if he bats in the 9th.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 01:55 AM) We've had 3 innings where we could have had big innings, but we just hit the ball right at people. That's how you have a shutout. It's not like they're not trying hard. I know we're complete opposites in terms of how we look at things, but I think you're going to have a hard time convincing people we hit into a lot of bad luck tonight. Yes, there's been some hard hit balls that were caught. However, if you only hit like 5 balls solid all night, you're going to struggle.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 01:53 AM) Just can't find a hole. Hard to find a lot of holes when you keep popping up

SSI....How's Greg Walker's job secruity looking now?

How are people not booing this s***?

This is f***ing disgusting.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 01:47 AM) If the offense pisses away that momentum I might just have to pound the hell out of something with my other hand Don't break a hand, break a finger. With a little over 10 games left in the season, you're going to need everyone one of those fingers.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 01:46 AM) Well if that doesn't give us MO, nothing will. Wait, we just acquired Mo Vaughn? f*** yeah, he can be our number 3 hitter.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 01:45 AM) Ozzie never had the infield in last night...? But he should have in the ninth.

Big pitch by Garland. He avoided the killer blow that inning.

QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 01:44 AM) jonny needs to pitch out of this to have ANY chance to win 20, which seemed like a lock when he was 8-0 No offense to you, but I hope that this year has taught all Sox fans there's no such thing as "a lock" in sports.

QUOTE(soxman352000 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 01:43 AM) Boone has a 2-0 count. i have a bad vibe Don't worry, Harold woke up just in time to tell Ozzie to walk him once it got to 3-0.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 01:41 AM) Wow see what happens when you go with the pitch instead of perpetually try to pull it like our dumbf*** hitters. They're not facing Cy Elarton though

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 01:41 AM) Double, 2nd and 3rd - 0 out I coulda sworn last nights game would give us some momentum Wouldn't it just be so typical of the Sox teams from the past 5 years to come out flat after a big win?

Another hit, and it's a 2.5 lead again with a 3 game wild card lead.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 01:39 AM) Garland falls behind 2-0, gives up a line drive single. Funny what a good hitter does when given a count I was thinking the same thing, with that great line drive swing by VMart. Even Hawk and DJ are very critical about all the pop ups tonight.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 01:36 AM) just like all the people on here said we couldnt beat felix hernandez.... We've seen Santana 4 times this season, and he's shoved it up our ass basically every time (besides the first inning of the first outing). We had never seen Felix, and that was more about hype than anything else.
