QUOTE(greg775 @ May 17, 2006 -> 09:59 PM) I don't think he deserved all the "s*** that was thrown at him." The guy was DOMINANT last postseason. We hadn't won a WS in about 99 years. Give the guy a break. If this is the start of something big, great. But look around baseball and you'll see a ton of starters that have been "inconsistent." Just because the team hadn't won a world series in 88 years doesn't mean every f***er on that team gets a free pass for life. Garland was less than impressive in August and September of last year, he was great in the playoffs but he also came out sucking this year. A near Century of suckitude does not give Jonny boy a free pass to be bad.

Haha, they showed that "dive" by Gomes in the opening montage of SportsCenter. What a joke.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ May 17, 2006 -> 09:29 PM) You are correct sir, thanks. Even if that is the reason in the first place, I still don't like it...5:15 Central Time start followed by a 1,000 mile flight home and a game at 3:05 the next day.....not cool. It's a 6:15 CT start.

I believe it's at night because it will be aired on ESPN.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 17, 2006 -> 09:18 PM) Vazquez gets by because he has been better than Garland. Period. Vazquez has only had 2 bad outings and if you want to go even deeper he's really only had 2 bad innings. Start 1: 2 KC Start 2: 7 TOR Start 3: 0 KC Start 4: 2 SEA Start 5: 0 CLE Start 6: 2 KC Start 7: 7 MIN 2 f***ing shutouts already, simply awesome.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ May 17, 2006 -> 09:16 PM) Well how many of our starters besides Contreras would you say has been "consistent" this season? Garcia perhaps, but Buerhle, Garland and Vazquez have all had their bad outings so far this season, and those other 2 seem to get off scot free, Buerhle because he's proven, and Vazquez because everyone thinks he'll turn it aroudn naturally. Garland is the least proven of the 5.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ May 17, 2006 -> 09:14 PM) That I agree with. However, I dont see the point on just ragging on Garland, especially after a game like this. He was our 18 game winner last year, and its amazing how quickly people have turned on him. He hasn't been very good for the past 3 months, I certainly think it's OK to be worried about him and post your concerns. A lot of people think his fast start last year was an abberation and to a lesser extent, I agree. The guy just has absolutely no consistency.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ May 17, 2006 -> 09:11 PM) Your right, he blows. Tonight was nothing to build on, and I expect nothing short of 8 ER next outing. Garland sucks. What was the point of that? He made a valid observation, you can't just take away outings when talking about a players consistency.

QUOTE(Felix @ May 17, 2006 -> 09:09 PM) Doesn't saying "besides the Twin game" sort of destroy any solid consistancy? Well if you erase 4 of his starts this year where he sucked, his ERA is a spectacular 3.18!!11

Yes, he says some incredibly random things that are relatively humorous, I enjoy that.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ May 17, 2006 -> 09:03 PM) In 4 out of his last 6 outings IIRC, he's only given up 2 runs or less. It's just a couple of bad ones which has his ERA inflated so much. So it's not like he's been pitching terribly all season long. Start 1: 9 KC Start 2: 7 DET Start 3: 1 KC Start 4: 3 SEA Start 5: 5 LAA Start 6: 1 KC Start 7: 7 MIN Start 8: 2 TB so, no.

What a stupid pointless thread.

w00t?

GAME

Walks are bad.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 17, 2006 -> 08:49 PM) LOL the Pistons are such b****es. They f***ing flop and wave their arms for fouls way too much. You've gotta take a f***in shot right there, praying you get a foul call is just beyond retarded.

Wow, that was pretty retarded by Rip.

Albert "god" Pujols is now strolling to the plate.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ May 17, 2006 -> 08:42 PM) Well, that won't be happening for a while now will it? Anywho...the move by the D-Rays actually makes some sense. If you'r enever going to be able to afford to hold onto free agents, you should stockpile your rookies in AAA, keep getting top draft picks, and then unleash them all within a year or two. That way you try to make your team as good as it can be before you start losing them all to FA. I never said it wasn't for the best, I just said it was a trend. It really does suck though that they're holding back such amazing talent, I want to see them now damnit.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 17, 2006 -> 08:38 PM) Who else would you say they've kept down for too long? They rushed Kazmir through their system. Considering how bad this team has been for so long, we really should have seen Delmon Young by now and really what is the reason for having Lugo at SS. Even if Upton is f***ing brutal with the glove he could most definately produce for them at SS.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ May 17, 2006 -> 08:35 PM) And the Devil Rays have been keeping him in the minors for too long. Seems like a trend.
