2 hits through 4 innings versus a pitcher that can be described as bad. Thank God we have our hitting shoes on today. What does our coaching staff do for a living outside of park their asses in the dugout, wear a nice uniform, and smile a bit.

What do our hitters do before a game to prepare. Do they invision the ball only over the middle of the plate. Do they prepare their upper cut swings. I mean its like they have never seen a low and away pitch, yet lately this is all they see.

Cy Freddy Kruger owning our lineup. I wonder if this douche will wind up with 10 ks on our lineup.

Freddy Krueger looks like Cy Young against our terrible offense these days.

Lets see what Prancer does tonight. He already has his first inning K.

Uribe pretty much is worthless at the plate. He has been in the league long enough, has talent, yet has no discipline.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 06:36 PM) Happy SSI? When we get men in Scoring position and they still take that approach I will be happy. If they have their backsides pucker up, and they try to hit the highway on the other side of the monster then I wont.

1-2 and he hits him. f***

Paulie and the rest of our pull monkeys should take a peek at what Manny did right there. 2 strikes, man on first, pitch away. He stays back and hits it up the line to right.

Julian Tavarez pitching is about the worst thing our guys can see. Its the equivalent of seeing the Royals pitching staff out there. They go up and think I can make Sportscenter if I hit it over the monster. Boy will that look cool.

If our hitters would try and hit line drives and not try and lift and pull slow stuff away, our offense would be fine again. But the minute their rectums got a little tight after the first boston series. So anytime they see something slow, their brains process "kill it" and they either wind up hitting a dribbler to the pull side, King on something in the dirt, or popping it straight up. Loretta hits a line drive single up the middle, and I want to vomit because our hitters wont do that.

Nice approach guys. A piece of s*** pitcher K'd 3 guys. Nice f***ing offense we have here now. Swing as hard as you can. I cannot wait till the day when they finally fire Walker, and hopefully this time we can actually go outside of this organization and get someone who can teach a line drive swing. Not the lift and pull crap we have seen here since 2000.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 06:13 PM) How are we swinging right through 88 mph high sinkers? You swing for the fence you miss a lot.

Nice swing Jermaine... Meatball down the cock, missed.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 03:20 PM) "Someone else" isn't all that much better if better at all. You keep saying this without any stats what so ever to back this up. Pods has been absolutely brutal since the allstar break. Yet you ignore that, for whatever reason and think that guys with much higher OBP and better D are not gong to be better. Outside of your "gut" feeling, what statistical facts do you have to prove your assumption that Pods's replacement isnt much better.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 12:24 AM) If he's hitting 300+ over the past nearly 3 months then how is he not an everyday player? That's nearly half a season of well above average offensive production from a rookie who is also one of the best defensively at his position. How is it that Podsednik can hit .250 for the year and he has to be an everyday player but Anderson hits 15 points lower and must be benched? His quote about we should of figured a way to get Thome without giving up rowand speaks volumes.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 12:23 AM) Let me throw it back at you. You all think BA is fine? An everyday player? Tell me why. He is hitting over .300 for the last 3 months. He catches pretty much everything hit to him, and has great range.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 12:18 AM) As far as Mack in cf ... he obviously thinks BA is not ready for everyday duty and despite the love of BA on here the guy is hitting .233 with 32 rbis and 43 runs scored in 300 at bats. He does not deserve to be an everyday player right now. Who is the backup? The roster says it's mack. I agree he's horrible; I don't blame Oz. I blame the moving of Rowand. We shoulda found another way to get Thome. BA wasn't ready for prime time and yes I realize he's hitting .300 or whatever it is the last couple months. You blame the moving of Rowand. Rowand couldnt hold Andersons jock in center field defensively. I hope you realize that. The comment about him not deserving everyday status is foolish at best. The guy is hitting 300 for the last 3 months. He hit like crap for 2 months, and then has hit good for 3 months. I guess then Pods and Uribe are not deserving of being a starting player right now either. Pods is hitting below .230 for the last 2 months, and Uribe is batting .240ish and is a vet.

All these chuckleheads from Boston have to do, and I am sure its been grilled into their heads, is throw low and away until you get 2 strikes, then boune one into the opposing batting box. When Konerko stops pulling every pitch no matter how far low and away it is. When Pods is on the bench, and someone else is playing in LF. When BA is our centerfielder and not a platoon mate with a butcher. When we bring back Hrniak to chat with Uribe so we can get him to ditch Profundo, and start squaring the ball up. When we get AJ to hit to all fields again. These are when I start saying that we have an advantage offensively in a series. But until then, any crappy pitcher with an 8 ERA might as well be Cy Young. Because Freddy Kruegar might 2 hit us with the way we have been pulling and lifting lately.

We are a baseball retarded, that is all that needs to be said. Our manager is worried more about getting his relative wins instead of the team. He is worried more about being stubborn and keeping a guy who doesnt want to play CF in centerfield because he trusts him. And our offense thinks that this is the softball beer league where the pull and lift works. Sprinkle some Joey Cora and that recipe adds up to below 500 baseball since the allstar break. We are not a very good team right now. If we tank out and dont make the playoffs, I hope someone gets Ozzie so upset that he implodes says something stupid and we can fire him and hire someone who has a clue.

Ozzie needs a new magic 8 ball. The one he has been using is broken. He turns a 1 run game into a blow out by making dumb moves. First dumb move, lets have Freddy start the 8th. He threw 104 pitches, and we know he is not that good this year. So he gives up the double. Then of course mr. dumball pulls him. Then lets use Neal Cotts. With a man on 2nd in a close game you dont turn to your worst reliever out of the pen. but he does, he is a contact pitcher and has a mid 6 ERA since the allstar break and a 2 and a half WHIP since the ASB. Then after that, he goes to his next contact pitcher. Bmac. This with 3 guys who throw upper 90s and can strikeout people. This with a new lefty in the bullpen who just showed he can strike out lefties with mid 90s stuff and a funky delivery. Then for some reason Uribe is positioned at the edge of the grass, instead of at double play depth. The bench calls the defensive positioning. So we lost today because Ozzie wanted to get his relative the win, instead of the team and got burned because of it. He should be fired at the conclusion of this season. He has no clue how to manage. I would say that we are seeing why Pena was driven out of KC after taking them to the 2003 sucessful season. Crazy ass decisions and dumb baseball.

The redsox should sign one day contracts with their ballgirls to throw the next 2 games. I figure they might get the ball up to 68. If Lopez just can teach them to throw it away, the sox will get 3 hit over the next 2 games.

Uribe swings, then poses. Thank god profundo boy is on this team.

Gload a lefty seems to be able to figure off a lefty that would have Kd both Thome and AJ if they faced him.

ozzie manages like a mental patient. You have 3 guys who throw upper 90s and can strike out guys. You have a new lefty who hits 95 and has a funky lefty delivery. So you start the 8th by trying to get your relative the win, instead of the team. Then you bring out a contact flyball pitcher named neal cotts who has a mid 6 ERA and a mid 2 WHIP. Then you back it up with another flyball contact pitcher. And then you have a SS playing on the edge of the grass.
