Slop time for Haeger.

Only an Ozzie lead team, is the pitcher in after getting raped.

We can put bmac in the rotation now Ozzie. The count has given up a s***load of runs in 4 starts in a row. Something is wrong.

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 08:18 PM) its haeger time!!! Take the prancer out of LF, and put Sweeney. He can actually catch the ball, hit the ball and throw the ball. He isnt super fast, but neither is the prancer.

Anderson would of had that one. Nice defense Ozzie.

Ozzie supposedly rested his players for the September run, so he could rest them some more. Meanwhile Cintron and Mack are going to get between 300-350 ABs as part time? players.

95 to 97 on the Count before the DL, he used to throw predominantly overhand, but would drop down from time to time. Now he is 91, and he is sidearm to every righty. How the f*** does this happen without an explanation.

Thank god ozzie decided to give up on defense. Who needs it. f***ing stupid.

The count is a submarine pitcher to righties. Another tinker job at its best.

AJ and Thome were notorious spray hitters who hit a lot of balls to left field. That is until they got to our team. Now its pretty much right field only. Check out AJs hitting chart at the cell, and look at the amount of putouts by the first baseman. He is the Paul Konerko of catchers in the 2nd half. I hate when our teams tinker with things that work. AJ hits great in the first half, then suddenly changes to become a power hitter. His average is crap in the 2nd half and the homers he does get are not enough to state the change. AJ hitting to all fields is worth a lot more than the 250 homer hitting catcher.

Low and Away to every single one of our hitters. Walker and the boys have a great plan tonight. You pitch like this against any other major league team, and they start to hit the ball back up the middle and to right. We keep pulling, and trying to elevate everything. Nice approach for the 7th best offense in scoring runs in the AL in the 2nd half.

This pitcher is a pile of dung, and we are making him look like Cy Young. Keep pulling the baseball guys. Odd we have had different players yet the same approach every year. Pull, Pull and Pull.

QUOTE(beautox @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 07:00 PM) But would it have the Latin passion? I can pack the array to kick out profanity every so often, and the occasional homophobic comment, and I could put variables that include every player and manager in baseball and have ozzie insult it randomly. That should pretty much make the simulation pretty accurate.

Lets keep marching a .since the allstar break 230 hitting, .280 OBP leadoff guy because god gave him a left hand, and Ozzie keeps thinking this is the marlins, but rests our hot hitting centerfielder and puts a butcher in CF. Ozzie thinks this is a one size fits all lineup. If you want to pinch hit Mack you must take out centerfielder. If you want to pinch hit Ozuna, you must take out LF, if you want to pinch hit Cintron you must take out Uribe or Gooch. I bet I can write a perl script that could automatically make lineup changes based on the Ozzie model and we could save the money we pay him. Why does our nearly 300 hitting CF since the allstar break, who is awsome defensively needs all sorts of rest, while our crappy hitting puss armed guy in LF keeps playing no matter what. This is getting to stupid levels here. Pods gets a free pass from our manager because he is in love with the Marlins type O. He was able to come up and have 4 ks with men on, when we had how many guys on the bench who would of been a better option in the 8th, because ozzie doesnt want to make a move. Ozzie is manuels reverso twin. Sunday lineups are not played once a week, pretty much our real lineup trots out once a week and then crap comes out daily. I thought that we were resting our guys for the september push. What a pile of s***.

Glad to see Sweeney called up. He is one of my favorite prospects. I love his approach at the plate. I hope he hits well enough to give Ozzie something to think about this year, and definately next year for LF. Boone will be a better option than Damaso Cotts right now. The first thing I thought of when Stewart was on the list is we can finally PH AJ a bit earlier in a game that Sandy starts and not have Ozzie worry about having Mack catch if AJ gets hurt. Haeger I am torn on. A knuckler out of the pen???, would of rather had Tracey instead of Haeger.

Time to rock crappy tonight.

I would like to see Sweeney up, and a few games in LF while Pods and his prancing can learn what being a utility player is all about. Its Pods next job.

QUOTE(CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 02:04 PM) Phil Nevin Since being acquired by the Cubs vs. righthanded pithchers : AB H HR Avg. 110 20 8 .318 Post All-Star Break stats against RH pitchers AB H HR Avg. 57 20 5 .351 Certainly not worthless. Neifi Perez with the Tigers 9 games at 2B and SS 0 errors 77 innings 53 total chances. Hasn't hurt them yet in the field. Nevin hit that against the weak NL. How good do you really think he is going to hit against the better AL. Phil Nevin is poo on a stick bad. Neifi Perez has to bat remember. He is horrible. He is just poo.

Phil Nevin is worthless. He was a bad player, playing on a bad team. He was picked up about 5 weeks too late to help the cubs, it was a pointless move when it happened to the cubs, now the Twins make the same move. This is also a team that decided to start Tony Bautista at 3rd this year. The Nefi Perez move is the equivalent of someone picking up Timo Perez, and then worrying that it will affect the AL Central race. The more Neifi bats, the better for us. These moves dont do a thing positive for either team.

Its real simple, Ozzie needs to play his starters not named Scott Podsednik 6 out of every 7 games until we clinch or are eliminated. His theory of this is why I rested our starters in the year was for the September push, well its september our guys should be rested, lets let them play. Brian Anderson needs to play everyday. Scott needs to sit on the pine and try a platoon of Ozuna and Mack in LF. Our pitching needs to man up and give us good effort. Our hitters have to get back to hitting line drives, and to stop trying to park every single pitch into the stands. Thinking line drives instead of going for the dong will immensley help our team when we get men in scoring position. Paulie specifically needs to start to go gap to gap and stop trying to wear out the left side of the infield. He has 20 GIDPs because he is such a slow pull monkey. When Paulie starts hitting dongs to right center I will know he is ready to take off. AJ needs to get back to being a spray hitter, and stop with his power impersonation. He is hitting just a bit over 200 in August, and his post allstar break average numbers are brutal. Its not expected that he hits so far above 300 for the second half, but when you see his average drop like a rock and all you see is him pulling the ball, this is not the AJ we need. AJ's oppo homer yesterday hopefully will get him on track for thinking entire field. And not just pull. AJ as a line drive hitter makes our O so much more dangerous.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 05:13 PM) Sept 1 is here. I want to see Sweeney in LF. I want to see Logan and less Cotts. Well can Sweeney hit better than .230 like our current leadoff guy does. I think he can. He has such an upgrade over noodle arms defense.

If we dont rock Runnynose Hernandez this time around. He is f***ing terrible.

QUOTE(PlunketChris @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 04:46 PM) edit: can't expect 2 sweeps in favor of us. Why. We are at home, they are a terrible road team. This is the same type of crap I saw posted when we split against KC at home. The worst road team in baseball trots in and takes 2 games. Come on. We could of won this today, but our O is in the 2nd half slumber they usually do.

Since the allstar break Lets take 2 players. Pods is batting .230 with a .289 OBP. He only gets substituted against tough lefties. He should be benched, but gets trotted out there, like this is 2005. Anderson his hitting .297 with a .347 OBP. He gets pinch hit for, and is in a platoon. Ozzie needs his Marlin like guy or he cant function. AJ is hitting .250 since the ASB, including .216 for the month of August. Since he went into power mode.
