QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 09:00 PM) Oh, and let's not forget the play that lost it, Castro dropping the throw at the plate. No the play that lost it was when we had men on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out, and we had Castro and Pods K on pitches out of the zone. Those terrible ABs lost this game.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 08:57 PM) i was irate after the night game, but with the schedule the next two weeks if the Sox can stay 2-4 games back they can make a run, despite today, the Tigers aren't a dominant team and the Twins have been having some bad pen performances. Have to win either tomorrow or Sunday though You realize that the twins have a cake schedule compared to the Tigers and the Sox. We have an absolute brutal schedule, we cannot afford to give up games we should win. Bonine should be someone we crush.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 08:55 PM) Has Wise become the new OMIT??? Think about it this way. Josh Anderson is currently on waivers. He cant hit, is left handed and can steal a base. He is younger than Wise and can be had for nothing. It would make more sense to bring him on the team and release Wise if having a defensive guy who can steal as base is truly your priority. Yet Wise is here until the sox give him his unconditional release in the offseason.

How does this team take 3 out of 4 against the Rays. Then look so crappy against a not so good Tiger team that has been struggling.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 08:50 PM) Wait, we don't like Dewayne Wise anymore? I'm just going to file that one under "saw that coming." Before tonights game Wise was hitting .182 with a .182 OBP over his last 7 games. He caught the ball, lets get him more ABs.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 08:39 PM) well your going to hear the typical ozzie speech after the media criticizes him and he'll say i dont give a f*** and all that nonsense we have played horrible fell flat on our faces this double header and its not looking good No you will get the, Bonine is a major league pitcher. His stuff was moving crazy. Tip your hat to a performance like that. Its hard to win when you face such a wonderful team. etc etc.

We have not had a hit since the 3rd inning. This offense needs to get its head out of its ass soon, because with our schedule over the next 2 weeks we could go from 2 back, to 8 back in a hurry. Wake the f*** up.

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 08:34 PM) Our bullpen is the most overrated "on paper" group in the league. Just abysmal. They are currently middle of the road in the AL if you look at ERA.

We love chasing s*** out of the zone.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 08:29 PM) That's the coaching staff. What pisses me off more is it was an inside fastball to Ordonez, which should easily cause Beckham to guard the line. Do you really think that our players position themselves. He is a rookie playing a position he has played for a month. If he is creeping off the line, its up to the coaching staff to get him moved over.

Well we have done everything in our power to step on our dicks and lose both of these games. We come into this series on a high, and then f*** it up.

Throw strikes Matt.

Thornton gets one big out here. Now time to get Clete.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 08:20 PM) the tigers announcers think he was jawing at cabrera The Tigers announcers are morons.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 08:15 PM) Ozzie has got to stop pitching Linebrink. Hawk is livid that Beckham wasn't guarding the line. But I thought that defensive positioning calls come from the bench.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 08:08 PM) NO LIFE in this offense whatsoever. This is a joke. Bring on Bartolo for the 8th and 9th ;-) This is possibly the worse time for the offense to go on a funk.

So the plan of attack. Take s*** down the middle and swing at crap out of the zone. Good stuff.

QUOTE (TheOcho @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 07:58 PM) Ozzie really wants Colon to get that W Maybe he should concentrate on our team getting that W.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 07:55 PM) Castro also was extremely jumpy in the box too, it seemed. Just a simple case of them trying to go hero instead of just concentrating and making contact. There were so many ways that could of resulted in a run.

2 f***ing strikeouts in that situation. Absolutely pathetic. Both strikeouts, chasing s*** out of the zone.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 07:52 PM) It's f***ing hard to win games playing like this. It's pitiful If you hit it and the guy makes a play, tip your hat. But for the love of god, dont chase s*** to K.

Strikeouts out of the zone with men in scoring position late in games, piss me off like a motherf***er.

QUOTE (TheOcho @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 07:50 PM) I'm afraid that Wise will see more playing time then Quentin. That isnt going to happen.

The bunt works. Now time to drive these guys in.

Here comes the bunt.
