QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 23, 2005 -> 01:30 AM) 7-4, Tribe gonna win again 8 game lead, our smallest in a long time.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 23, 2005 -> 12:06 AM) And now they are up 4-3 I hate the f***ing offense of the Indians. Even C. Blake is on fire now.

I'd much rather the Twins not acquire Soriano. Hell, the best chance at beating the Twins is when Mays and Lohse pitch. With Mauer, Morneau, Ford, and Lecroy swinging the bat well these days, adding Soriano would help them a lot.

f*** YEAH!

One more Marte! Of course, my blood pressure could have gone without Hawk saying "watch out" on that throw.

Am I the only one who thinks whenever the catcher sets up inside with Marte pitching to a lefty, he's going to hit the batter?

Oh boy, Marte? What more does Cotts have to do?

QUOTE(fullcollapse @ Aug 21, 2005 -> 09:18 PM) i'll be honest, i really thought jose would just implode having to face the yankees, but he has but together two really good starts, please don't slump in september. I don't want him to slump, but you could argue that this start was as important as any other start this season. If he tanked today, you're looking at an 8 game losing streak having to go face Santana. Lets win this game, and enjoy the day off tomorrow!

Please, let this be easy!

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Aug 21, 2005 -> 09:16 PM) If Jose is done for the day who is warming up? Is he giving Adkins work or bringing in Hermy? Adkins? I think I just lost my lunch. 4 runs against the Yankees is definitely not a sure thing. I still have nightmares of the Foulke debacle vs them a few years ago, when Giambi hit the 9th inning homer.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 21, 2005 -> 09:14 PM) Great job Jose!!! Yeah, it's real surprising that of all teams, he'd have the most success vs the Yankees. You'd think that with his control issues, they'd wait him out. Rather, the Yanks have been chasing his forkball about as much as any team, along with the Indians. Does Ozzie go with Hermanson here, or Cliff/Neal/Marte? I'd like to see Cotts come in, and if he gets in trouble (2 runners reach), bring in Hermanson.

QUOTE(fullcollapse @ Aug 21, 2005 -> 09:11 PM) sorry... signed up a couple years ago, don't get to visit very often anymore Hey, don't worry. I was completely just playing around. Trust me, anyone on this site is fine by me.

Welcome back Crede!!! I'm sure Ozuna would have made that play though....not!

Come on Ozzie....trust our bullpen!

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 21, 2005 -> 09:07 PM) With the way the Sox have been playing lately, can you blame him? Maybe Rowand44 has jumped ship?

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Aug 21, 2005 -> 09:06 PM) haha yeah that's pretty weird. Never seen them before. I hope they had medical insurance when they broke their foot jumping off the bandwagon

I notice someone has a username of "fullcollapse"?

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 21, 2005 -> 09:02 PM) He will probably face A-Rod. then we will probably see Marte vs. Matsui, Williams and MArtinez I'd rather see Cotts come in next inning. ARod already has hit a bomb against Cliff this season. I'll be real disappointed if Contreras starts the 8th inning.

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Aug 21, 2005 -> 09:00 PM) Looking back to that last inning with runners at 2nd and 3rd and 1 out how the offesne slipped right back into what has been ailing us. 2 K's when all we needed from Anderson was a fly ball or grounder to the right side. You can't argue with Widger, who came through in a similar situation earlier. Most managers would take a guy going 1-2 in that situation. I do feel sorry for Anderson though, who is just alll out of whack at the plate. His only chance of getting a hit is on a change-up/slow curve.

Holy cow, anyone else think that was gone judging by Sheffield's reaction? Good job Contreras......now go take a shower before Ozzie can put you back on the mound.

QUOTE(ScottPodRulez22 @ Aug 21, 2005 -> 08:59 PM) I would after this inning This has to be his last batter, no matter what. His forkball has been a little up.

Pull Contreras?

Just a suggestion: Crede should come in at 3b after this inning.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 21, 2005 -> 08:53 PM) Offensively? Gload I don't really consider him a minor league prospect we called up.

QUOTE(ScottPodRulez22 @ Aug 21, 2005 -> 08:52 PM) Jenks Sorry, I should have stated on offense. It was very interesting to hear Walker basically ignore the question Bruce Levine had for him in regards to the long swings our guys have in the minors.
