I am almost ready to put anyone in left besides Mr. Dergan.

QUOTE(PlunketChris @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 04:30 PM) Sorry, forgot this board is a complete wash when looking for a positive or confidence. Ignore it if you must, but I think I made a decent point. We've got a chance, on paper, to do something decent with the next 3 days. Confidence, what are you Rongey. I saw a good opportunity to get a win and gain some ground against a terrible team. If you can smile and think happy thoughts after that, good for you.

QUOTE(PlunketChris @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 04:24 PM) Let's take a gander at the positive... If we're still shooting for the division, we didn't lose any ground and Detriot has 3 with the Angels coming up. The Twins pick up one on us, but are still behind, and have 3 against the fairly hot Yankees coming up. We have 3 with the Royals coming up... The next 3 days can give us a nice buffer zone on the Twins and help us inch closer to The Tigers before we hit our more difficult end of the year. The tigers lost playing the Yankees, we lost playing the Rays at home. We are 4 1/2 out with 30 left to play. What in our play against the Royals this season gives you the idea that we will be able to build a buffer. QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 04:25 PM) Post ASB, our offense is 7th in runs scored in the AL. Gee I wonder why that is.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 04:22 PM) PK said in the paper he doesn't like to DH, as he gets fatigued from swinging so much in between innings. Since he's a vastly superior defensive player to Gload, we need to keep him on the field. I call bulls*** on Pauly. Tell him to stop thinking pull every god damn time he swings the bat. If the ball is consistantly thrown low and away you can in fact hit it to right or up the middle. Pulling it to the 3rd baseman is not going to do anything.

Pull and lift. Someone needs to tell Paulie Pull only that right field I repeat is not out. Crappy no nothing pitchers that will get rocked their next start dominate us, because our guys are thinking Dan Ryan. Nice job O. You really have done your job. The best offense in baseball the first half, then poof we fell in love with the dong and we have been inconsistant since.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 04:10 PM) Anderson gets the PH, but not for Pods....hmmmmm.... Ozzie is in love with his wittle speed guys. He cant take speed out of the lineup, no matter how much of a pile of dung its playing like.

QUOTE(POPPY_HIDALGO @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 04:04 PM) McCarthy looks great. How much longer can Ozzie really wait before moving this guy into the starting rotation. He's would totally be a #1 pitcher on any other team. Isnt it time for your medication. It is 4 oclock.

Well give a round of thanks to the pull monkey team that our offense has become. They have fallen in love with the pull and lift. Hitting line drives or singles with men in scoring position, they have completely given up on that train of thought. Its just blow your load on one swing. That is why garbage pitchers dominate our lineup these days. There is no reason that this pile of dung pitching staff kept us down today.

Actually as much as I am not a huge fan of swinging for the fences, it would be nice to see the mob scene at home plate. it might give them some life back into them as they go to face KC.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 03:37 PM) Unfortunately so did Gooch, Dye and PK last inning Dont worry the next 3 hitters will be thinking jack. The minute the game gets late and its close, the dong crew attempts to make sportscenter.

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 03:34 PM) Konerko has left 10 men on base in two games. Dont worry, he will change his stance another 10 times in the next 2 weeks. My favorite stance was when Paulie decided to open his stance up. Here is a clue, if you pull just about every single pitch down the line, opening up more is probably not a good idea. He thankfully canned that after nearly killing Joey Cora about 10 times over a 3 game period.

Just hit the ball Paulie. Stop twitching after every pitch, makin sure that hte velcrow is still tight. If you didnt swing how did they get loose.

Here comes the home run cuts.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 03:00 PM) SSI, Which teams are you calling "good offenses" Cause I see the Yanks, 2 er. Most of the other teams he faced multiple times and some times did good, some times did bad. Apr. 14 TOR L 13-7 6.0 9 7 7 1 1 4 Jul. 5 @TOR W 7-1 8.0 2 1 1 1 2 13 I didnt realize that suggesting a guy who makes over 10 million dollars a year should pitch well was a bad thing.

AJ hit an oppo homer. SSI very very happy.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 02:57 PM) Konerko is on an 8 game hitting streak coming into today What is his double play streak.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 02:39 PM) SSI, As I already said, in his first 6 wins he gave up less than 3 runs every game What is wrong with that? So lets round, 50% of his wins hes done good, 50% hes been carried by the offense. So what, hes not Johan. You are cherry picking stats. He was up and down like crap at the first part of the year. When he faced a bad team, he dominated him. When he faced a good team he got rocked. How many good starts did he have against bad teams. He has the stuff of an ace, I dont think he should pitch like Danny Wright or Felix Diaz. He is getting paid like an ace also. How is it shocking that people want him to pitch well and are so out of line for saying that a highly paid pitcher who cant go beyond 6 innings before imploding is bad, or has a plus 5 ERA is bad.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 02:24 PM) Vazquez is a loser with 11 wins. I wonder where the Sox would be without Javy's 6 wins in the first 2 months. Wins are such a way to judge a pitcher these days. Danny Wright won 14 games with the sox on year. Give a medicore pitcher 9 runs a game in the first half of the season and anyone can win a bunch of games.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 02:17 PM) Honestly from the reactions here it would appear the Sox have given up 10 runs, not 1. Every pitcher on the Sox has had trouble you cant just pull them all after the first run they give up. Is this the first time you have seen Javy pitch? How many implosions do you need. If it quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck, and waddles like a duck, sometimes its a duck.

QUOTE(G&T @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 02:15 PM) BMac up in the pen. He should of been up at about 12:40 for long toss, and then 12:55 he should of been in the pen for warm ups and we should bury this stiff that is currently on the mound to bullpen duty.

Get f***ing McCarthy up. And then send Mr I cant pitch unless the sun is perfect, there is no wind, and everyone makes web gems and put him in the pen. Then in the offseason see if Omar Minaya is still in love with him.

Thank God we got this guy. He has stones of steel. What a great pitcher.

Uribe and Crede play who wants to f*** this up.

Anderson getting close to passing Uribe. Getting ready to point and laugh at Uribe. HA HA
