Man, this team needs a swift kick in the ass. Hopefully, playing in marquee games against the Yanks and Red Sox will bring their game up.

That was just a routine double play ball.

QUOTE(jamslam @ Aug 7, 2005 -> 07:39 PM) That popping up is becoming a habit for Crede Becoming?

Nice to see Crede trying to pull an outside slider. Again, why did he shave the chops? We needed as many lefties as possible in the lineup against this pitcher, even if that means Blum at 3rd base.

f***ing Indians just came back to take a 6-5 lead in the 8th.

We can't keep looking at these pitches on the corner. It should be that 3 of our 4 hitters K'd looking if not for a blown call on Iguchi.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 7, 2005 -> 07:21 PM) Jon's sinker is actually moving so far today unlike his last outing where it just sat on a T. Yes, and it's good to see him throwing more of the sinker than the change-up. Nothing irks me more with Garland than when he gets burned by a high change-up in big spots. There's the Jeremy Reed we know and love with warning track power.

There's not a worse umpire in baseball than C.B.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 7, 2005 -> 07:17 PM) That's about it. Yeah, if we can't hit this guy....we just suck. He's around the plate, so we have to be aggressive. Lefties should have a good look at his pitches. Tim0-4 should light him up.

Can Crede please bring back the chops?

Great win! Nice to see us win a game where the hitting just wasn't there.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 7, 2005 -> 01:22 AM) Gotta love watching games on tv. I've been so wrong on so many balls of the bat today. I guess that's what happens when you can't see where the fielders are positioned. Just like last night how my heart dropped when Sexson caught Iguchi's liner.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 7, 2005 -> 01:20 AM) I agree 100% He is not a starter. Shouldn't be consistently in the lineup as one. But I'd only take Iguchi or maybe Rowand on the team for a clutch pinch hit late. First post tonight? Nice to see you in here.

That insurance run is so huge now.

Another ball off the bat that looked like a hit. Funny game, isn't it Rowand44?

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 7, 2005 -> 01:18 AM) I hate it when Timo starts but there still aren't many guys I'd rather have up then him with the game on the line in the 9th. And no I'm not joking. Exactly! That's why he shouldn't be a starter. You can't overexpose bench players. Look how far Ozuna's average went down once he got more playing time.

He should have let that hit him.

Haha, another ball that looked like a sure hit off of the bat. Great bounce it took to Iguchi. And about Gload/Borchard coming up...I'd rather have anyone than Timo right now. Even when Timo is swinging good, he's still below average.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 7, 2005 -> 01:15 AM) So... Timo went 0-fer again. He's down to .223, and his OBP is creeping towards, if not already there, the .260s. But, we don't need Ross Gload. He's like 3 for his last 22 or 23. But we all know he's not going anywhere. I think Brian Anderson could really help this team out now.

QUOTE(Soxpranos @ Aug 7, 2005 -> 01:15 AM) Iguchi is clutch... please no more Rowand is clutch crap... cause thats what it is crap. Rowand's had as many clutch hits as anyone. He had a two week span of incredibly clutch hits, with the homer off of Hoffman, and consecutive days vs the Dodgers.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 7, 2005 -> 01:13 AM) You owe me money for copyright infringement. I have been making that comment all year long. LOL I will testify on your behalf as a witness.

Rowand had a pretty good swing on that slider. His best chance is serving one to right field.

QUOTE(Wanne @ Aug 7, 2005 -> 01:11 AM) WTF?!?...you watchin a DBacks game over there or something?!? Damn! I totally forgot it's Hargrove. I remember talking about Melvin last wknd when the Cubs were playing the Dbacks. Thanks for pointing out my mistake.

QUOTE(ScottPodRulez22 @ Aug 7, 2005 -> 01:10 AM) you said that he should swing hard to hit a homer and i said why a gapper would score pods i changed that when he stole second and said that a base hit would score him. Well, of course. Don't pull a muscle patting yourself on the back

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 7, 2005 -> 01:09 AM) If our 3-4-5 could get it going we would be in business. I have no complaints about our 4-5 hitters right now. It's our 8-9 that have hurt us, especially with our leadoff hitter being in a funk.
