QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 7, 2005 -> 01:31 AM) Nor should he. We have no one that could fill that roll cept for maybe pablo. The thing is, as good as Ozuna has been hitting, he's not a real run producer. He's perfect for the 9th spot in the lineup. There's not a doubt in my mind that our offense is better with Ozuna at 3rd base than Crede.

Do any of our 3rd baseman make foul pop ups look easy? Seriously, even Blum looked like he struggled catching foul balls over the weekend. Poor fathom.....scared for life because of Joe Crede vs Manny Ramirez.

QUOTE(BFirebird @ Sep 7, 2005 -> 01:28 AM) is it just me or does tadahito or rowand fit the 3 hole better than carl...i think carl is a 5-6 hole hitter myself We can argue for years, but Iguchi's not moving from the 2 spot this season.

How long will Ozzie let Duque go in this game? I'm hoping to see him get thru 6 innings with only one run allowed, and then go to the bullpen. Ozzie should have learned recently that once Duque looks like he's losing it, you need to pull him.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Sep 7, 2005 -> 01:25 AM) Carl is trying to pull EVERYTHING right now He should get a day off during this series. We have plenty of players to fill in for him. Gload should play 1b tomorrow, and let PK DH.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 7, 2005 -> 01:20 AM) Good job Duque. Didn't KC score 17 the other day? Yeah, their last game.

Good job Duque!!!

Ugh, Duque's getting himself into trouble.

Potential big batter in this game for Duque.

It seems like the radar gun is a little quick tonight, as Duque was just clocked at 93 mph. Jenks might be able to throw 107 with this gun.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 7, 2005 -> 01:04 AM) Didn't Boston pick 24th? I seem to recall the Cardinals taking that Georgia Tech SS (Boras client -- can't think of his name) at (what I thought was) 30th...? Greene is his name, IIRC. Tyler Greene

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 7, 2005 -> 01:00 AM) I don't mind cause I think it makes for fun baseball. I wasn't enjoying it enough in August, but I'm trying to soak it in in September. Agreed, this has been very fun so far this month after what any Sox fan would say was an awful month of August. The thing is, we'll have plenty of fun baseball though in the postseason. I just see what happened to the 2003 Cubs with their pitchers running out of gas in the postseason. I'd rather get our starters a lot of rest heading into the postseason (if we make it).

Hey Rowand44...give me some advice on how to say something optimistic without getting told I'm wrong?

I'd rather the Indians lose all of their games for the rest of the season, and the Sox clinch as soon as possible. At least my blood pressure would surely appreciate that. Shut them down Duque!

Who would have ever thought I'd get people telling me to calm down cause I was too happy about the offense?

QUOTE(knightni @ Sep 7, 2005 -> 12:55 AM) It's the Royals. Looked the same against the Tigers and Schilling.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Sep 7, 2005 -> 12:52 AM) Quit worrying about the Tribe ........................ The more they lose, the easier things get for the Sox. Come on, don't you want to see the great Ross Gload play more?

Man, this offense looks awesome right now. Very few guys are giving up ABs.

I know they sucked against the Sox....but the Tigers are taking some of the worst swings you'll ever see.

That's beautiful to see!

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 7, 2005 -> 12:45 AM) No reason to against KC and Lima I don't think. I agree with you, FWIW.

Will Ozzie do the squeeze here?

With that leg kick, Uribe has 30 homer power.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 7, 2005 -> 12:39 AM) i love pablo. That wasn't a hard play or anything, but still. As long as he continues to play solid 3rd base, he's a huge asset to this team. His hustle is just tremendous. It was also nice to see Ozzie say today that he can't play Ozuna too often, or else he'll lose his effectiveness. That's a great philosophy when putting a reserve into the starting lineup.

It wasn't pretty, but Duque got us back in the dugout.
