QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 02:26 AM) So I just want to check with you real quick. You are endorsing that we play BA correct? Absolutely. You can't keep playing a below average player who's slumping. I said it yesterday when the game was called: the worst thing about the game was that Timo just earned himself a handful of starts with his two bloopers. Most bench players that go 5 for 36 get released, not promoted to the leadoff or number 5 spot.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 02:25 AM) He'll definately be back. Hopefully it won't be for a significant time as a starter. He's been solid enough as a pinch hitter though. He's no Lenny Harris, but he has some big hits. He's been terrible as a pitch hitter this season. His numbers suck in the situations that Hawk and Ozzie think he's amazing at.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 02:25 AM) Timo is to Ozzie as Hollensworth is to Dusty I'd take Hollandsworth over Timo in a heartbeat! At least he's fast enough to be a worthy base runner late in the game.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 02:24 AM) screw that... Lets give him raise That's funny, usually it's Timo giving Ozzie a raise.

QUOTE(Sox Hustler @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 02:23 AM) Since this game is over, they better get their s*** straight for tomorrow. Ozzie better f***ing do something "this this this f***!" This spoiled my night... I can't wait until around 5pm tomorrow when we see Timo is playing again.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 02:23 AM) I don't think there is anyone defending Timo starting. At least not that I've seen. There's plenty of people who try to rationalize Timo's extensive playing time on this board.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 02:23 AM) And the sad thing is right now if I looked at it, Ozzie and KW would probably bring back Timo next year for around the same price. Not a doubt in my mind we'll bring him back next season.

It just baffles me how anyone could defend Timo. He's a terrible, terrible player! 5 for his last 36 now....just the spark you want from a bench player.

f*** you Timo. No excuse in the world for that c-sucker to be playing.

I would love nothing more than for Timo to shut me up here.

The great Red Sox closer just blew a game vs Tigers. Good news for those concerned about having the best record in the AL.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 02:15 AM) Finally, an ump gives Marte the outside edge. Wrong again, Fathom! Funny you say wrong again, because tonight has been one of my best prediction games of the year Anyways, it was the king of optimism, my good buddy Rowand44, who predicted the walk!

Good pitch by Marte. We need to get people on base for Everett and PK, because they're the only ones in our lineup who are dangerous.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 02:14 AM) Twins are all over the field tonite, and we look like s***. Which is insane, because we should be playing loose right now.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 02:13 AM) I got money on a walk. On sliders right off the plate, I'm sure.

Solid fundamentals.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 02:12 AM) Big lead won't last long if we keep playing like this. Just have to hope that other teams can defeat Indians and Twins. That's the scary thing about playing the Twins so much the rest of this way. If we play poor baseball against them, they have the ability to make up a ton of ground.

QUOTE(Benchwarmerjim @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 02:10 AM) no no. I am not trying to start trouble. I dont remember Mauer ever plowing anybody over. And the Hunter thing was like 2 years ago It was last season.

That little f***er Nick c***o has 3 hits against us.

QUOTE(Benchwarmerjim @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 02:08 AM) payback for what? Oh boy

QUOTE(Sox Hustler @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 02:07 AM) Wow...we should at least be tied without the Stewart catch, the Cora error, and the bad baserunning by Konerko... If they keep chipping away, hopefully they can get the lead. Don't forget Dye not being able to throw out the runner at home on an easier play than Ford had. Like I said, this game should be like 6-2 White Sox.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 02:06 AM) Crede should of dropped Mauer to his ass on that play for payback from last year. But he pussed out. Konerko pulls a Carlos Lee and watches what he believes to be a homer and then gets thrown out trying to run to second. This is shades of last years August series. Oh boy, you had to remind us of that? The ONLY chance the Twins have of even being a threat to the Sox the rest of this year is if they sweep us this series.

QUOTE(WhiteSox311 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 02:05 AM) Geez buddy dont let it ruin your life. Ha Frank was one of the worst base runners the last 5 years I've ever seen. PK is actually a solid base runner, considering his speed.

That rally sure ended fast.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 02:04 AM) Dam i thought that was gone. Oh well, 4-2 now Me too. It definitely seems like the Sox should be winning this game like 6-2. Good AB by Rowand
