When's the last time we called up someone from the minors who actually contributed?

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Aug 21, 2005 -> 08:41 PM) lol the Twins offered JC Romero, Kyle Lohse, and Joe Mays for Soriano. Texas would be stupid for making that trade. Where did you see this trade? Sounds more like a video game trade for me. Texas won't want Mays, who has a pretty big contract. I've heard Rangers will only do the trade if they can get Liriano.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 21, 2005 -> 08:41 PM) His HR numbers per AB have been about the same as last year, and same thing with his doubles. He's better than most of our bench players, too. And he's not brutal on defense. Slightly below average, but not brutal. He has 7 homers this year in 283 AB. Last year, he has 17 homers in 523 AB. That's a significant decrease in homers/AB. And yes, from all the games I've seen him play with Cubs and Red Sox, he was a bad fielder.

Good job by Contreras overcoming 10 hits today. Lets put this game in the hands of our bullpen.

Got to get Flaherty in this AB. This should be the last batter Contreras faces.

Bellhorn sucks. Brutal on defense, and he hasn't proven he can be the same player once steroid testing took place.

Get the bullpen ready Ozzie! Ozuna tries hard at 3b, but he's just not good enough to play that position day in, day out.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 21, 2005 -> 08:29 PM) We definitely need more LH's in the lineup, because our splits vs. Rh's and LH's is pretty lopsided. Even Greg Walker said today that we suck hitting righty offspeed pitches.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 21, 2005 -> 08:22 PM) Anything to break this streak is fine by me. Plus alot of those hits were to the right side!! Win now, worry about other stuff later.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 21, 2005 -> 08:21 PM) He has not been the same pitcher this year. Plus he's a lefty, which we murder usually. I definitely agree that we're better against lefties. Rowand, in particular, is a totally different hitter vs lefties. However, it's not like J. Wright has been good this year. However, who gives a f***...lets just win the game. I'm happy we've got to Randy Johnson, but if you had to make me choose again, I'd take facing Wright over RJ 100 out of 100 times.

Yankees fans must really hate Cano. I think he's 1 for his last 30 with RISP.

Blum's range at 1b has been less than impressive. I doubt PK would have caught that ball though.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 21, 2005 -> 08:15 PM) But isn't he untouchable?? :rolly My apologies Cy. You were right about RJ

Fellow Sox fans: Let me guess, first time with such a big smile also in a long time? Hold them Contreras!

We should hit-and-run with Uribe every single time we can. I swear, it would make him concentrate so much more. Do your job Widger.

Isn't it supposed to rain now, getting this game postponed?

Now, this is just funny. Keep it up boys!

SSI....good thing these guys are trying to pull the ball? Can we put in Cotts now?

Our poor starting pitchers have less room for mistake than Paris Hilton's birth control.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 21, 2005 -> 07:51 PM) slump buster. someone needs to take one for the team. I nominate BA. It's a shame Pablo got that hit in the first inning, or else I'd really think we have a chance to get no-hit.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 21, 2005 -> 07:51 PM) Must not have been clear enough that I really don't care what you think about using the word 'retarted' to describe a ballplayer. IMO, it's wrong, and you haven't addressed it, instead looking at other things. Right or wrong, people use retard on message boards way too often when describing players. If you're looking for PC on a message board, then you're looking in the wrong place.

Just out of curiosity, but how many games do you think we'd have to lose in a row before Ozzie gets fired? 17, 20, 25, 100?

Well, at least Greg Walker feels like since we've won 74 games this year, we must be doing something right (and yes, that's what he said this morning).

Another day, another Indians win. 7.5, here we come!!

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 21, 2005 -> 07:38 PM) Believe it or not, but i think we have a better chance against Johnson No offense Cy, but I couldn't disagree more.
