QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 02:21 AM) If you have a lead in the ninth inning you should be able to win too. Yeah, but I'm not going to go off on Hermanson. He's had a great year, and even though he's gotten away with all sorts of meatballs lately, it just sucks that was the game he finally got burned.

QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 02:19 AM) Crede swinging at flies again. His head was looking to the outfield as he missed that pitch. Send his ass down, put Blum at 3b, and call up Gload or Borchard.

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 02:20 AM) CLE 5 BAL 4 FINAL Might the lead be in single digits tonight? It's ok, everything is fine, right Hawk, KW, and Ozzie?

QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 02:18 AM) Our picthing blew that game. Our hitting blew that game. If your pitching holds the other team scoreless thru the 10th to 15th inning, you should be able to win.

Ozzie, please pull Jon Garland!

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 02:04 AM) Corpseball has been back all month. 40% of our runs are scored by homers and the BA is below 230 now as a team. Corpseball in recent years was better than this offensive slump. There was a lot more talent in our lineups the last few years. Any word on how long PK will be out?

AJP b****ing about a pitch right down the plate. This team has completely lost their focus.

This is getting really, really ugly.

Twins just scored to tie their game. Man, the last 10 days have just sucked. The sad thing is, there doesn't seem much that can be done to spark this team.

QUOTE(SouthSidein05 @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 01:46 AM) Have they hit anything hard over the last 4 games??, have they been hitting when it counts?? This team needs a bat, please KW get someone. PK was hitting the ball hard. Look at our lineup tonight, and someone please make a logical argument on why we should even expect to have a chance to outscore them?

Hawk, the reason Mussina has been pitching 1-1, 1-2 and Garland has been behind in the count is that the Yankees know how to work a pitcher!!!

Have the Sox hit a ball hard tonight? I'm not trying to start s***, but I really can't remember the Sox hitting anything hard.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 01:37 AM) Oh please, Garland's fine. This is the offense's mess. I'm more concerned with Garland and Buehrle's stuff lately than I am their results. Both of them haven't been very sharp with their stuff, and have left a hell of a lot of change-ups down the plate to be hit hard. But yes, this offense sucks. It's obvious to everyone.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 01:36 AM) They have 3 more runs than us in 3 more games. And that's after having their offense slump like crazy the first half of the season. Now, their lineup is stacked with guys like Boone and Blake picking up their games. VMart has raised his batting average a crazy amount in the 2nd half, and Perralta is this year's Juan Uribe. Please tell me you wouldn't rather have the Sox offense than the Indians?

Garland and Buehrle sure have looked sharp recently. Both seem to be trying to perfect that floater down the heart of the plate. Hawk, please shut the f*** up.

QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 01:33 AM) Damn, that was quick. Yeah, it's what happens when you have a good offense.

Thanks Dye for nothing. He hasn't contributed jacks*** for over two weeks now.

Indians just tied the game at 4 in the 8th inning. f***!

Dye has his head firmly up his ass again. Yeah Hawk, where would he play?

Another home offensive explosion.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 01:20 AM) Griffey hitting .292 now with 29 HRs. But where would we play him if he were on our team? He just wouldn't be good enough to crack this lineup. Yep, especially considering we have a RF who's been just brutal this month, and is known to get into monster slumps.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 01:19 AM) Okay, no need to even argue a point with you anymore. Womack has something like a .540 OPS, and is making about five times what Crede makes. Like I said, I'm done talking about the topic with you, because saying you'd rather have Womack is plain stupidity. I never said I'd rather have Womack. I simply said that when he's struggling, there's no easier out in baseball than Joe Crede. That's all I'm saying!

QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 01:15 AM) 16-3, Reds over DBacks in the 4TH!!! It's too bad we didn't sign Russ Ortiz.

What's this new pitch Garland is throwing tonight? That floating 80 mph meatball is going to go a long way very soon.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 01:10 AM) LOL, Ok. He's not good offensively, but you're grossly exagerating worst in the league. Afterall, we're playing a team that plays Tony Womack pretty regularly. But I do agree with you about 'Hawk. Seems like he's trying to convince himself, not us. I'd listen to Rooney and Farmer, but I watch all/most games on HDTV, and it's a good six seconds behind the radio. At least Womack has the ability to lay down a bunt or get the runner over. Crede has been a disaster at trying to advance runners this season.
