The run scores on Uribe's kick. Thanks for nothing Taz.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 09:17 PM) Nice shot of Pods there looking totally unprepared for the pitch. Hawk talking about him standing right on the track. With a weak hitting lefty up.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 09:12 PM) Quitting in the eighth inning of a game in August is honestly beyond belief, even for the Chicken Little fans that populate this website. Thanks for letting us know how to be a fan. Maybe you can hand out literature at soxfest and get a booth on sox fan dos and donts. You can just cross off the cubs logo on the literature they use, and then write in sox.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 09:10 PM) this attitude is so disgusting and embarrassing. Dont you have a post game show to get ready for.

Swung for the fences, actually fell over and K'd. I thought we traded Carlos Lee. All our team needs is a single, yet another one of our guys swinging for the fences Ks with men on. f*** this.

None of these are protect swings. He is going for the parking lot here. With 2 strikes.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 09:04 PM) AJP will be swinging for the fences, when a nice liner will do. Thats our team motto. Swing for the fences, Good deep or go home.

A line drive would be nice, but that goes against our offensive strategy. Pull, Lift presto.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 09:00 PM) Neshek has given up 3 runs this year, all solo homers from lefties. He doesnt have to give up a run, just fork over the runs that are already on base. I am not greedy. Wait yes I am.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 08:57 PM) Why in the world do you pinch hit Cintron for Mack?

So we decide to put a guy who has no patience up at the plate. Uribe part II. Nice I bet he swings at the first pitch.

Send Mack up there. Reyes cant throw a strike. Make him take until a strike is thrown.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 08:52 PM) When Hawk said Uribe is on deck, I just shook my head.... I have visions of last year when KRod walked a few got the bases loaded, then Uribe swung at a pitch over his head pulled it just foul, then Kd on one bounced in the other batters box.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 08:48 PM) CF defense really comes into play now. IF ROB MACKOWIAK EVER PLAYS CF AGAIN, OZZIE AND KW SHOULD BE FIRED AND SENT TO THE MENTAL WARD IMMEDIATELY.

Solo dong, again everyone swinging for the fences eventually one will connect.

Neal Cotts is up. Nice choice ozzie. If politte was still here Ozzie would be using him as option 1A and Cotts 1B.

I love it when we strike out with crap bounced in the dirt. Take a large long cut on every pitch, dont cheat yourself. The twins hitter would of slapped a 2 strike pitch into play.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 08:43 PM) I was going to try last night but figured I had no shot. I was way to fired up. I got dumped by the screener because I couldnt control myself.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 08:42 PM) I swear if no one in the post game press conference asks why BMac isn't in the rotation every reporter is a puppet. If I get past the screener I will ask it.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 08:40 PM) I don't care if he isn't "stretched out". Put McCarthy in the rotation. If he doesnt put McCarthy in the rotation after tonight. I am purchasing some domains and putting up a fireozzieguillen site.

Wait till the pink fuzzy bunny Chris Rongey spins this pile of dung tonight. I cant wait for the show. Lets see if I can make it past the screener tonight.

Nice f***ing approach by Gooch. Take 2 strikes down the cock. Then swing at s*** coming in low and in. This is what our guys have got to figure out. The fastball down the cock belt high might happen once a game. You are going to get fed one or 2 fastballs, then changes in the dirt. Look change, or think right field. Swinging at change after change after change like someone is throwing you a fastball makes you look like a f***ing 12 year old in the little league seeing a rolling curveball for the first time. Adjust guys, try and shorten your swing, take the ball up the middle or maybe oppo. You do not need to swing for the Dan Ryan on every single f***ing pitch.

QUOTE(Allsox @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 08:32 PM) I still have no idea why we didn't see Brandon warming up in the 5th last night. Knowing how Vazquez has had the tendency to flop in the 6th the last 7 starts with the exception of the Toronto game, I dunno why you don't prepare accordingly. The magic 8 ball didnt answer correctly.

QUOTE(jamalmanburg @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 08:29 PM) now its mackowiak's time to shine... Or K stupidly. Thank God Anderson is watching from the safety of the bench. Johan is scary. He scared the crap out of Ozzie, he has our hitting coach petrified, and some of our guys think we can barely hit him.

QUOTE(Allsox @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 08:27 PM) Right on! Castillio, Tyner, Punto all look to put pitches outside of the zone into play. Anything down the middle and they either fly out or ground out harmlessly. Sox gotta attack their punch-n-judy hitters down the middle and nibble the corners on the Twin power hitters. And Brandon just completed 5 1/3 innings. Anybody believe he's starting for Vazquez next week? No because our manager still thinks he sucks. Pinella would be an interesting replacement for Ozzie. He at least would know to pull a pitcher.
