Fields is not even close to being ready for the majors right now. There's still a lot of skepticism that he'll ever be a MLB caliber player.

This is the worst Crede has looked in his Sox career.

I hate Timo, but at least he swung at the first pitch fastball that Santana was throwing all night.

QUOTE(sircaffey @ May 24, 2005 -> 02:58 AM) He failed... That ball couldn't have been hit harder. It was just bad luck for Everett.

QUOTE(3E8 @ May 24, 2005 -> 02:44 AM) Why's everyone pissed at Timo when he threw a strike to Crede for what should've been the third out of the inning? Lack of range in the outfield. Dallas would have never made it to 3rd on that play if Timo didn't play close to the warning track for every hitter. Also, he looked like he was running in slow motion on the RBI double.

Our 7-8-9 looked about as tough as you would imagine. Crede has never looked worse at the plate than he does right now. Our lack of a suitable backup to play SS or 3B is hurting us. I don't think Ozzie is comfortable with playing Ozuna at 3B or SS.

Crede should have made that tag....but I still hate the presence of Timo Perez on this team. He has absolutely no range in the outfield.

Santana couldn't have asked for an easier inning.....especially compared to what happened in his major league debut.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ May 24, 2005 -> 01:24 AM) The Pirates traded Aramis Ramirez to the Cubs. The Reds and the Pirates are perennial cellar-dwellars in the N.L. Central. I doubt they would trade Dunn to the Cubs but I could see them wanting to dump Griffey's contract and would trade him to the Cubs. Dunn is well-liked w/the Reds, while Aramis was hated by everyone in Pittsburgh. The Pitt organization thought Aramis was a cancer, and couldn't wait to get rid of him. That's the main reason that they were willing to get rid of him for less than market value.

Timo's playing in CF tonight for Rowand. Our 7-8-9 tonight is downright pathetic.

I guarantee that the Reds don't trade Dunn to a team in their own division. If anything, Dunn would be the last OF they'd be willing to give up. Jason Dubois and some lame reliever will not be enough to get him.

That's been a f***ing strike all game. Bulls*** call ump.

Pods is a huge run on 2nd right now.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ May 21, 2005 -> 08:08 PM) Fathom, it's a difference of opinion. I don't feel like Lee has reached Barry Bonds/Albert Pujols status quite yet to where you don't want to let him beat you. For me, I don't want the go ahead run at the plate. Burnitz has power, I don't care if he's worse than Lee. Totally understand. I appreciate everyone voicing their opinion on here about the play. Like I said though, lets just be very thankful the ball stayed in the park!

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 21, 2005 -> 08:06 PM) ding ding ding Amazing prediction.

Hermanson's going to have his work cut out for him next inning.

Aren't we going to have to ph for Marte here? Or did Ozzie double switch?

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ May 21, 2005 -> 07:59 PM) ??? Put the winning run at the plate? That's stupid, you don't do that. Why's it stupid? I've always believed that you shouldnt let the opposing team's best hitter beat you. Anyways, it's on to the 9th inning. I'm just thankful that Lee didnt hit that hanger out of the park.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ May 21, 2005 -> 07:59 PM) You don't, period. That was Lee's first hit of the series, burnitz has the only rbi today, you don't put the tying freaking run on base, just doesn't make sense. Anyways, lee picked off, HE GAWN!!!!! I see your point, and I offer mine.......who do you think has a better chance at getting the guy out: Cliff vs Lee or Marte vs Burnitz?

Wow! It's not often you see Marte pick off a batter.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ May 21, 2005 -> 07:56 PM) Everyone been on ozzie to make cliff the setup man, he does, cliff just doesn't have it today but it's still ozzie's fault. No.....Cliff was the right call there. We're upset that he pitched to Lee in that situation.

Ozzie decides to let the best hitter in the NL hurt us, and he did. Thankfully it stayed in the park. Cliff fell in love with his slider this inning, instead of relying on his heater like he had been.

f*** you Ozzie! We're lucky that ball wasn't hit out. Cliff has been hanging most of his sliders today.

Why Ozzie why!!!!!!!

You can't make the same mistakes other teams have and let Lee hurt you.
