Where the f*** is Uribe setting up, center field.

The flyball pitcher gets his flyball. Thank god it was in the infield.

QUOTE(MHizzle85 @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 03:40 PM) Still am a fan of ozzie, he just needs to learn to not use his "guys" so much I wonder if other playoff teams start their starters less than 25% of the time as a group.

The appendage aware manager is making his decisions based on dumball. Lets use a couple of contact pitchers here. This is where you either need a strikeout guy, or a guy that can induce a double play. This is not where you bring in a flyball contact pitcher.

Why is Pablo still in this game this late. Mack should be in left.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 03:32 PM) Yeah, Juanny better take his ass to the bench. Cintron should start starting more, Juan is in one of the funks where it takes him weeks to get out of. Last year we brought Hrniak in, who fixed Uribe for the last month. Then our management decided that Juan didnt need a leg kick, and decided to go another way. He is back to hitting like crap this year.

Our super smart manager, has decided to march out a guy with 104 pitches to start an inning to get the W. Now he backs up his moronic decision with another dumb one. Putting the guy with the mid 6 ERA since the allstar break and a whip of 2 1/2. Someone needs to break ozzies 8 ball now, its defective.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 03:29 PM) f***ing Christ, quite a contrast in that inning. Its real simple. With the pull and lift monkeys on our team, anyone that challenges the group of Rob Deers on our team over the plate are dumb. You just throw soft crap low and away or low and in, and they will get themselves out.

It funny watching our guys react to breaking stuff low and away in the dirt on 2 strikes. Watch the little league world series and you will see better reactions on breaking stuff.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 03:23 PM) I have a hard time complaining about runs right now. Tony with the talent on this team, we should be destroying pitchers not named Santana right now. We beat ourselves more on O than anything right now.

Well there are the home runs they have been looking for all season long. Hit them out, or we dont score.

4 hits against a guy barely hitting 83 on the gun. Corpseball makes its annual return to the southside. Thankfully for Dye, Gaithright is very fast, but he has Mack skills in CF.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 03:17 PM) We have our 3-4-5 coming up. Please, for the love of god, win this f***ing game. Everyone of our guys will fall over trying to hit the dramatic 3 run dong with no one on base.

QUOTE(iguchi=dank @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 03:14 PM) If our guys tried hitting like G-Load does, we might actually be beating all these pitchers with 5+ era's we've been facing lately. Its just sad and frustrating, but since its been happening so long now I've just lost hope that our approach is going to change. Its amazing the how lucky we are that the twins are in such trouble with injuries. AJ before he got to the sox was a spray hitter. When he was win the Twinks how many times did he beat the sox with a poke to left. But shockingly last year, his first year with the sox his power numbers went up. You come to the sox, you become a pull hitter. Figure out why. Small park and a coaching staff that believes in lift and pull.

QUOTE(South Side Fireworks Man @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 03:13 PM) Twins lose! Twins lose! Twins lose! 2 out of 3 to the Yanks in Yankee stadium. We however have had 6 games against the worst 2 teams in the AL. And we are going to split them. f***ing pathetic.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 03:13 PM) its just stupid to have freddy on the mound right now with expanded rosters Well think about who our manager is.

QUOTE(CWSOX45 @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 03:10 PM) You mean this has happened before against soft tossing lefties? Yet Greg and Ozzie haven't made the ADJUSTMENTS? Funny. Since 2000 any soft tossing lefty or more to the point, anyone spotting a fastball away can dominate this team.

Guys like Rodgers, Moyer, Redman, whatever want right handers to pull their weak ass fastball on the outside corner to the SS and 3rd baseman. To beat this type of pitcher, either they have to make mistakes over the middle, or you have to go oppo on it. But going oppo would cause Gregs head to explode.

Pull baseball. Its hard to believe that this is the 7th best offense in the AL since the allstar break. Whoops it used to be number 1, then they fell in love with pull and lift.

QUOTE(shoota @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 03:03 PM) I disagree. You have to give them the chance at the W. How about the team. Can we worry about the team getting the W, I could care less which pitcher gets the W as long as we do.

Now here is proof that our manager has no clue. The game is still in reach, so what does he do. He warms up a guy who has been giving it up like crazy. Why, because last year he was good. We have 3 lefties now in the pen, after seeing what boone logan did the other night, why in the name of god would you put Cotts out there. Dumb. Then again, when you have Mack coming out in a paper basically stating he doesnt know why he is out in CF, and our coaches still say he is going to play because changing would be giving up. How dumb is that.

Like clockwork, here comes the 5 runs. Between our crappy pitching staff, our goof of a manager who doesnt make adjustments, and our pathetic hitting this team is pathetic right now.

QUOTE(shoota @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 02:58 PM) Von Joshua? We keep firing a guy, and then hiring someone else from the minors that preaches the same philosophy. Its stupid.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 02:57 PM) I'm surprised we have a winning record. We are a below 500 teams since the allstar break.

Next time we get a hitting coach, get someone from an organization that preaches OBP, and line drive swings. We keep dipping into our system that preaches swing for the fences. f***ing sad.
