QUOTE (Reddy @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 04:51 PM) ball not carrying today. Well maybe the coaches can give that to our lovely rotten hitters and tell them, stop going for the fences.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 04:50 PM) I agree ranger. Just saying. People ran all over us in 05, in 06 and in 07. This is nothing new.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 04:45 PM) damn, he's not even close to the plate. I dont think he is comfortable against lefties.

Stone is talking about how we pitch directly opposite to our defense setup.

Hopefully Cooper works a cutter with Floyd. If he can use that to bury a cutter in on the hands of lefties next year, he would have something to offset them.

Farmer to Stone: Did you try to hit it out. Stone: Nope, but I loved hitters who did.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 04:36 PM) Freddy dealing now. Freddy is dealing in the same way that other bad pitchers deal against our rotten offense.

Stop with the home run cuts guys. The ball will fly out if you make good contact with it. You dont need to artificially give the ball elevation and swing off your heels.

Stop dipping your back shoulders and trying to go hero guys.

Dear Sox, Felix Diaz is wearing a Freddy Garcia mask on the mound. Yes its Felix Diaz and not game 4 winner Freddy on the mound. You can in fact crush the meatball.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 04:30 PM) So why would the Tigers even risk Galarraga today? Seems like pitching a young starting pitcher in a relief appearance for a pointless game is just stupid. Well in reality it looked like the wall of pain was coming down on Freddy with his mediocre fastball but then the sox 4-5-6 rescued him.

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 04:28 PM) Un-f'ing believable...what's the deal with the 4-5-6 hitters. all you need is a hit, not a homer. Ick. Valentinitus is the latin term for what you witnessed.

Dye had the correct approach. Then the overswings happen.

Only this offense can screw up 1st and 2nd with no outs after a run scored. Nice job meat of the order outside of Dye.

5mph differential between his change and his fastball. Look breaking pitch, you can adjust.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 03:09 PM) He doesn't have much snap on his pitches. His breaking pitches take an inning or so to be total effective. Plus I am sure he is geaked up.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 02:19 PM) But that 1/3 of the Dem party are running for cover. Come on, there's blame all over the place for this one. Jesse Jr voted against it.

Best Maury moment evah.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 02:05 PM) The funniest Maury episodes are the "Are you the father of my child?" ones, when the guys find out they are NOT the father and they run around and screm and brag and high five people...that stuff just cracks me up... My favorite is when the girl had random sex with lots of people but is convinced that the one guy, who is financially sound is the father. Maury Kelly, can you tell me why you think Andreov is the father of your child. Kelly "Well look at my baby, see he has brown eyes and Andreov has brown eyes. Its him. Hes my babies daddy. " Andreov "Kelly, I was the video guy from your porn movie. We never had sex. You had more men inside you than Cartmans mom that night. Can we at least have a paternity test. Plus your baby is african american, and I am from the Ukraine. and you are Irish" Maury "Are you sure Andreov is your babies daddy. He has a point. The kid is african american " Kelly "The girl in the trailer across from me, read me 3 tarot cards and invoked a spirt named Jimmy. Jimmy and the tarot cards told her for a fact, Andreov is my babies daddy. And no machines or facts are going to change that. Maury "Uh, oh. We will be right back"

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 11:34 AM) Why does this have to be a day game with Freddy on the mound? Its rainy and dark. Not the same thing.

QUOTE (MAX @ Sep 28, 2008 -> 02:40 PM) Is it a big game to him though? His velocity is down, and he is just working it. It will be a ton of Junk from Freddy. Let play 163 should be our battle cry.

Great win. Now hopefully Floyd can be the right man at the right time. This is a team that he pitches well against and they are playing for nothing.

We keep struggling to destroy bad pitchers. For a supposed power offense, we leave a lot of bad bad pitchers looking good against us.

QUOTE (Bhay99 @ Sep 28, 2008 -> 02:00 PM) do the umps have some sort of vendetta against us? I mean seriously..... I had some mickey mouse umpires in high school, and a few bozos in college. But these guys aren't even on the reservation.

Umpire around the Majors is a bag of dicks these days.
