Its impossible for our team to score 6 runs with our approach tonight. We will in about the 8th inning, get a solo homer. But our strategy of swinging for the fence, playing old men, and throwin batting practice is a failure.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 07:20 PM) BTW, Baker looked terrible through the first four innings. They should have atleast four runs off him by the six. He has been like Vazquez in the amount of hanging breaking balls thrown. Well our guys are swinging for Wisconsin.

Hopefully our stubborn manager will put this in his memory banks. Because if we do make the playoffs, I dont want to see this moron pitching until game 4 at least.

Maybe Omar Minaya will take this nutless wonder.

Way to pull up Dye. If we blow this, they can wipe the entire managerial and coaching staff and start over. Pathetic.

If Carl Everett nearly got it, I would have to think that maybe Brian might of had that.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 07:54 PM) AJ fouling off hittable pitches. Swings long. Going hero.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 07:49 PM) Shouldn't Ozzie and the coaching staff take some heat for it? In 1999 I went to Minnesota for the last series of the season between the White Sox and Twins. They both sucked so the series was meaningless. The Twins won on Friday. On Saturday the Sox won and after the game, with the next day being the last game of the season, Tom Kelly had the Twins working on things out on the Metrodome turf. You can talk about how to execute rundowns all you want, but they must be practiced no matter how tedious it is. Our team has no concept on fundamentals. Thats Ozzie's job, and why he was brought in. To bring a hard played, well played game. This type of sloppy baseball is beyond what we had when we had Valentin and company playing softball here in the early 00's under manuel's watch. He got crucified for bad fundamentals and bad execution and bad motivation.

Christ, Bombs Away is warming up. 88 mph fastballs belt high is just the ticket for Kubel, Mauer and Morneau. ]

We are down by one. Let the hero swings commence with all fury. If you thought the previous swings were all or nothing swings. Ha. These should put Rob Deer to shame.

A major league team that doesnt know how to execute a run down.

QUOTE (Sox It To Em @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 07:42 PM) Oh great it's Nick f***ing Punto. Who sucks. You pound him in, over and over. He has no clue what to do with an inside fastball. Then as I saw it meathead throws him a 2 seamer that moves over the middle of the plate high.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 07:40 PM) Just remember this...our dumbass manager adjusted the rotation schedule so he could have Javy pitch here. He also purposely put Griffey in CF. He also put AJ into the 2 hole. The magic 8 ball has abandoned our manager.

Oh no, Javy's inner ear infection has spread to his vagina.

Theres your changeup Hawk. Now shut the f*** up.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 07:33 PM) 4 pitches low and away to Ramirez...he's going to make an adjustment hopefully. Let's hope SOME of our hitters (and BA wouldn't be one of them) can learn to drive that pitch to RCF and be content with singles and keeping the line-up moving up and down. Sure, thats going to happen. There is a reason that every pitcher goes low and away to our team. The only one that hasn't figured that out is trying to get our hitters loosey goosey.

QUOTE (Sox It To Em @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 07:32 PM) Not to beat a dead horse but remind me why Griffey is playing over Anderson again? He looked like the Griffey of old in batting practice, when he saw those mid thigh 83 mph pitches over and over and over.

Did that just happen.

Soon, the dramatic pull shift is coming to Mr. Konerko.

My eyes must deceive me, was that oppo. Wow

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 07:24 PM) Well, it was since 1946 that a catcher won the batting title. This will be 2 in 3 years for Mauer, and he's great defensively. It's hard not to praise the guy...he always praised I-Rod when he was in his prime, too. There just aren't very many good catchers who can hit and throw exceptionally. Mauer is one thing. Its when he starts to turn Gomez into Jackie Robinson.

Lets see what the next 3 softball players do with their bats. Homer or bust.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 07:20 PM) Really Hawk shut the f*** up, you old hag. Mauer invented hitting. f*** you Hawk. Maybe your goofy old ass can join Bert and circle each other.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 07:19 PM) Why the f*** does he keep putting him there? You have 3 hackers in a row, perfect for an opposing pitcher to get in a groove. Ozzie, WTF is your deal? Dude, if ignores evidence from just this weekend, and the last 10 days. Then nothing is going to wake him up.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 07:17 PM) I am usually very supportive of Ozzie's decisions, but this lineup is absolute crap. AJ in the 2 hole is f***ing stupid, Griffey is worthless in this outfield. WTF, I thought we were trying to win this series. Ozzie and his gut need to query a few stats and some common sense.
