QUOTE(forrestg @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 12:47 PM) Niether Aj or WIdger are very good at throwing runners out.. I don't remember Davis but if you watch our games they steal a lot of bases and Ajs and Widgers percentage is not very good. Olivo could throw out runners but had troubl;e with the bat and calling a game. Most of the bases that are stolen when AJ and Chris are behind the plate are stolen on the pitcher and not on the catcher. My grandmother could steal off Contreras not to mention Hernandez and Garcia do s*** to keep the runner on.

From what I've found we're 21-13 when Widger starts behind the plate. Not too shabby.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 11:04 AM) Yeah Hermy really f***ed me in era last night. I traded Mariano Rivera for Clemens when Halladay went down. I have Hermy, Coco Cordero and Fernando Rodney and they never seem to pitch in games. I got a lot of mileage out of Dustin but he;s just been an absent fantasy closer since June or so Yeah, I've got Hermanson, Cordero, BJ Ryan, K-Rod and Huston Street. Huston didn't give me much at the beginning as well as Hermanson however Ryan and Cordero were ridiculous then but have cooled off opertunity wise over the past few months.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 12:10 AM) For 10 games, sure. But they aren't an .800 caliber team in the playoffs. Their picthing won't hold up, IMHO. Why would their pitching falter? It hasn't yet in the second half, I expect it to stay solid just as it has been. The main knock against the Indians according to the Cleveland media is their inconsistent offense, which is playing consitently well right now.

So what you're say is our 12-16 August had nothing to do with our downfall? And losing 10 games to the Indians is nothing to be worried about. And we shouldn't worry about the next 2 weeks because we're playing teams that we've dominated this year yet can't seem to hold a lead Vs the Royals. So Cleveland is going to cool off right? Right? They were supposed to cool off over 2 weeks ago but just havn't gotten around to it yet. And yet after all that... IMO, we'll win the division. The playoffs on the other hand are a totally different story considering we can't seem to beat playoff teams during the regular season consistantly. Oh yeah. Welcome to Soxtalk

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 10:45 PM) Actually I need Hermy to pitch for me in the fantasy playoffs. THank you very much! Ditto. It doesn't look too good does it?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 08:59 PM) Was there just an inside-the-park home run during a station break on MLB Radio? Triple and an error.

Wait.... Holy f***ing s***!

OMG

Don't get me wrong, Simon does some amazing stuff...but, that one is 100% Goldy. :headshake That is inexcusable. :headshake

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 04:59 PM) Does Todd Johnson play behind Mike Brown? I've liked Todd Johnson since they drafted him, I was sort of hoping that he'd be named the starter... He plays both FS and SS. When they pulled Green on Sunday they brought him in to play SS. Todd is not all that fast and can't cover very well but god damn he lay it hit on you.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 04:52 PM) Hey, he had a bad game. he has been a starter for 2 years now, and he screwed up. Bench him for the game fine, But I think he is better than that. They judged his abilities on one half of the first game Or they saw him suck in practice as well? We don't really know the exact reason why he's being benched. All we really know is that he had a horrible game Vs the Redskins. Lovie may have seen something from him in practice or training camp that he didn't like. Lovie isn't going to bench him if he thinks he can be affective.

Mike Green is not getting benched just because of a pass interference call. I watched the game a few times and he was absolutely horrid. I'm surprised he made it through the 1st half before they decided to put in Todd Johnson.

I'm liking this move.

The 6th Round pick Chris Harris will start at SS in place of Mike Green on Sunday Vs. the Lions.

As a youngster I recited The Pledge of Allegence everyday in Grammer School, Junior High and my first year in High School. I'd say 99.999% of kids don't even pay attention to what the words mean, they just recite it every morning when they come into school. Hell I did it my entire childhood and it hasn't enfluenced me or anyone I know in the least.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 10:48 AM) Grossman ain't my boy, since I have no infatuation with the Chicago Bears whatsoever. Don't forget in his 2nd season, Rex Grossman had to play under Terry Shea's system. How many QB's looked good under that? Would Kyle Orton? Doesn't Grossman deserve the chance to show what he can do under Ron Turner? And also, the Bears O-Line when Grossman was behind center would have been in the bottom 5 in the NFL. I don't care which QB you are (unless you're Michael Vick and can run all day). You're gonna get pressured and sacked a lot, and that hurts your numbers, big time. IMO, you should just stick to the Cowboys and stop talking about the Bears because you are seriously lacking insight when it comes to this team.

I'd like someone to come up with a list of catchers in baseball that are all around better than Pierz. There aren't all that many.

He blocked a kick that essentially won the game Vs the Titans last year. That's the only f***ing thing he's ever accomplished in the NFL, a blocked f***ing kick...

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 12:08 AM) after clicking the first myspace link I found this...is it legit? http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea...39383E109649875 Well all the pictures he has there can be found on a search engine which just screams fake. Though all the info seems correct.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 12:00 AM) yeah , just went to the bears MB I guess news first broke out 0ver 6 hours ago I can't believe you're just now hearing about this, damn you're behind.

Nice to see Wood out of there.
