fathom

This is just sad.

2-19 in the 3rd spot.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 02:25 AM) Your kidding rihgt. You want to bench a guy whose OBP is almost .500 in the leadoff spot in more than 50 ABs in September. How am I supposed to take that seriously. Never did I say I want to bench him. I said that there's no chance Ozzie will take any veteran out of their spot the rest of the way, so there's no point arguing about guys deserving to be in or out.

QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 02:23 AM) if the el foldo plays itself out, at least there should be some good behind the scenes dirt on this team. maybe even a book. this team will go down with the most memorable teams in Sox history I'm looking forward to the Japanese version about Iguchi and his issues regarding the team.

Great start by Garland!!!! Lets hope PK and Everett get all of one, cause I highly doubt they'll be swinging for a single.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 02:19 AM) He's hitting .360 in September. There is no way you take him out. I know. That very deceptive .360 is a reason why there's not a chance in the world that he'll ever be taken out. It's fine...Ozzie is going to win or lose w/the people that put us in this place. That's his decision, and I just hope he doesn't try to deflect the blame like he's been doing lately if things end bad.

QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 02:18 AM) How many folks are going to ride it out on The Titanic? I'm going down with the ship, even though I told everyone they should be cautious climbing on board. I can't swim very well, so I'm definitely screwed.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 02:16 AM) Whether he's healthy or not he is still a liability right now. They should put someone in LF who can catch the ball, and drive in a run once in a while. Bingo! He's just not contributing enough to be playing every day. Oh well, he'll be playing the rest of the season, so no reason to b**** about it more.

Iguchi swings through a hanging slider. This feels like every single Twins debacle ever!

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 02:15 AM) It has to be more than that, th is all started when he got hurt I could have sworn he was struggling before he got hurt.

Iguchi just missed a great pitch to hit.

QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 02:13 AM) They might say Pods is healthy, but the video shows otherwise I think he's healthy. He's just worn down from the season, and has lost a step.

This has all the makings of a play at the plate.

Pods just missed that. Blah...give me Anderson full time in LF at this point.

Good swing by Crede there!

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 02:09 AM) QUIT HITTING IT AT PEOPLE. HIT IT AWAY FROM THEM. You referring to Uribe's grounder?

I've been told I'm no expert, but I don't see a whole lot of bat speed by our hitters.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 02:06 AM) If we're blessed/lucky enough to get there... There's my game one starter. He's been our best starter all year, especially against the top teams. Sure, he's had a couple of rough games. However, that's going to happen if you don't strikeout a lot of hitters.

Great job Garland!!! Nice to see someone on this team compete.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 02:05 AM) the way this game is going, a bomb is coming and 2-1 is gonna be good enough to beat us. Where's Bobby Kielty?

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 02:04 AM) as expected, the tribe had no trouble with the horses*** royals. amazing They had absolutely no clutch hitting either. However, the Indians pitching sure had no problem getting Emil Brown and Angel Berroa out.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 02:02 AM) yep. i guess having a 3.5 lead just hit me. holy s***. Don't worry, we face Julio Santana tomorrow. Oh s***, wrong Santana. If they lose tonight, 2.5 is more likely than 3.5 after tomorrow.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 02:02 AM) Don't say it fathom; our bench guys are even WORSE. don't wanna see them. 2 hits in 7 innings against a rookie. It doesn't get much worse than that.

QUOTE(S720 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 02:01 AM) Right now our hitters just have no soul, no spirit nor balls! What's going on? Wake the hell up! It seems like they are just going through the motion! I know we don't agree on much...but how come there's been no mention of Ozzie's failure to motivate these guys? I'm not blaming Ozzie for our inability to hit. But it doesn't take a genius to realize this team has no heart. Is our tank on empty?

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 02:00 AM) Those were absolutlely pathetic at bats. Do not blame Garland when he eventually gives up a 3 spot and we lose again We are right now one of the worst teams in baseball. Unbelievable. Agreed, Garland gave this team a chance to win.
