Does Ozzie really think Walker can get these batters out? It's like our team has to win despite our manager.

Thankfully, we played Timo. Thus, the advantage of having someone who's never played the position before in the majors has really paid off. What will Ozzie do next?

QUOTE(longshot7 @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 12:28 AM) I don't know if anyone cares, but here's the matchups for the Indians series: Fri: Hernandez vs Westbrook (2-7, 5.03) Sat: Garland v Tallett (0-0, 0.00) MLB Debut subbing for Millwood? Sun: Buehrle v Sabathia (4-3, 3.58) We have our work cut out for us. Westbrook vs Hernandez is a terrible match-up for us, and C.C. has looked dynamite his last few starts.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 12:22 AM) Is that Timo Perez I see at first? Gees. Yep, and he cost us at least 2 runs, and possibly more with his performance at 1b.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 12:15 AM) Some have defended timo's one handed s*** saying he never drops one but his lazy back hand cost us two runs. RELEASE TIMO We need to start the OMIT TIMO group at Sox games.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 12:06 AM) Why does Kenny believe Timo deserves a roster spot, he knows Gload is ready, so why doesn't he put Timo on waivers? It's pretty simple....and I'm not talking about the Ozzie-Timo connection.

QUOTE(That funky motion @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 12:05 AM) And that throw was right on! It almost hit him in the wrist!

That's another run on your ass Ozzie. You're a terrible f***ing manager, who needs to stop letting Timo blow you for playing time.

That runs on you Ozzie.

There's no excuse to ever have to play Timo at 1b. You don't see Hawk and DJ blowing Timo now, do you?

This is why you don't play a f***ing piece of s*** at 1b. That was an error on Timo, and Anderson's hit was a ball that potentially a play could have been made on.

We're making McPherson look like an all-star lately.

It seems like we're trying to be patient against Byrd, even though he has very good control.

Hopefully this isn't one of those games where we score a few runs early via the homer, and don't score the rest of the game.

Well, looks like we found our starting 1b for next year.

Holy cow, Dye just took a batting practice fastball right down the plate for strike 3. It's ok, he's entitled to a bad AB tonight. Break up Timo!

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 11:35 PM) Ok, I was just making sure you weren't hatin' on ARow. Carl's hit might have been a homerun at the Urinal. Yeah, if you want to see cheap homers, go watch games at Wrigley.

QUOTE(chunk23 @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 11:32 PM) Also, Pods shouldn't try to steal too much, Molina has a great arm. His steal last week was the result of the ball coming out of the 2nd baseman's glove. He was probably beat on the throw. I've never thought of Byrd as a pitcher that's difficult to steal against. Does anyone know what percentage the runners stealing against him are this season?

Timo is quite the short presence over at 1b. Does anyone know when Gload is supposed to be back on the roster?

Wow, we actually got a break from a base umpire on a check swing!!!! First time all year I think.

QUOTE(He_Gawn @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 11:29 PM) Like I was saying..... If you cant take it, and have nothing good to say about a team with the BEST f***ING RECORD IN THE MLB dont talk. When I see a good move made by our manager/players, I'll say so. If I see a bad move/strategy by someone, then I'll comment on it also. The bunt strategy we used with Uribe is a strategy I've been against all year.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 11:28 PM) Bow down to Pods and Rowand. Jabroni, what do you think about having Uribe bunt there? Do you agree or disagree that the better move is to try and let Pods steal 2nd before the bunt?

QUOTE(ReinsdorfSucks @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 11:26 PM) carl hits a crede I have no clue how he hit that ball where he actually did. That ball would have hit his thigh if he didnt swing. I've never seen Everett struggle so much from the left side of the plate.

QUOTE(He_Gawn @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 11:24 PM) I think you just like to complain period. Everytime I come to the game thread, you and that Reinsdorf guy dont have anything positive to say. But I can see your point on letting him steal.

Am I the only one who absolutely hates when we bunt with Pods on first? We're much better off letting him try and steal 2nd, and then bunting him over to 3rd. Just a thought.
