PFB laying the foundation for Ozzie leaving Vazquez in for his next start. You are tempted to let him pitch the next inning, you want him to pitch the next inning. The score gets a big thumbs down first for not rehiring Rooney over singleton, and then hiring this sugar coated dolt to run the post game show. Anyone that calls into the postgame show and says great show needs to return their sox hat. Nevermind the guy doesnt even realize what our starting rotation is. He probably was a cubs fan last year.

They have to be cherry picking the calls here. Some dude calls up to give Singleton props and he is a delight to listen too. PFB Its a performance loss not an ozzie loss.

Okay PFB, they should sweep the Royals. Anything less is a failure. they are horrible. Stop sugar coating it.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 04:23 PM) If you take a step back and think about it, it's absolutely amazing that the thing about Vazquez that EVERYONE complained about after his last start came back and haunted us again today. Even the biggest Ozzie supporters seem livid about his managing today. Well Ozzie is full of spiff. He was quoted in Monday suntimes that he would have the pen ready and would pull him on the first sign of trouble. I call a dong a sign of trouble. But Ozzie had to wait until he was on the verge of a nuclear meltdown.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 04:21 PM) I'm surprised we didn't alter our rotation after the ASB to make sure that Vazquez faced the Royals in this upcoming series. Because we would avoid the upcoming epic battle of some bum named Halladay and Cy Wrong Javy.

PFB "I cant blame ozzie for not pulling Vazquez, I mean if he is cruising through 5 and just loses it. Its kind of hard to explain. Lets just get them next time" I dont think that Rongey actually is in the studio, I think he just hits play on the same crap he used from Javys last start, because it looks to be the same to me.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 04:15 PM) Chris Rangey sure loves making excuses for Vazquez on the post game show. The guy should grow a spine and disagree with Ozzie once in a while. The Pink Fuzzy Bunny makes hawk seem like fathom.

The PFB is having a hard time with the logic here after this loss on the postgame show.

I blame Vazquez and Ozzie. We are paying the first one like an ace to be Felix Diaz. This game was a head scratcher when I saw the lineup.

Javy Vazquez is a more expensive version of the 5th starter by committe.

On the TV right now Pitch 1-30 5.55 ERA Pitch 31-45 1.83 Pitch 46-60 1.65 ERA pitch 61.-75 3.50 ERA 76 on 10.12 ERA Can someone make about 1000 copies of this and Tee Pee Ozzies house. Because he and Coop are the only ones completely unaware of how obvious this is.

QUOTE(Sonik22 @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 03:44 PM) shoulda left thornton in imo. No it was the right call, you put your closer in. He didnt execute.

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 03:42 PM) jenks = gassed. He wasnt gassed. His velocity was fine. He threw a few curves over for the first batter, and then tried to overthrow his fastball. He plunked Tejada. Then they realized that all they had to do was look for one pitch. Bad game all around, except for Dye.

And Jenks lost it. Not excuse for Bobby. spiffty spiffty pitching performance by him. Hits a guy that winds up being the tying.

Nice piece of hitting there. Nice Job Bobby. You f***ed this up.

Its time for Bobby to get nasty here. DJ was wrong, that was a bad pitch. It was high and over the middle of the plate.

That sucked.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 03:34 PM) This is likely Tejada's last Orioles AB. Dont know about that. Everyone that wants to get him, wants to move him to 3rd. And he has stated he doesnt want to play 3rd.

QUOTE(AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 03:31 PM) I'm not saying Pods is the greatest LF in MLB history. If you told me I had to choose between Pods or Clark. I'm taking Pods each time. Clark is so overrated its not even funny. Can Clark catch a fly ball. Can he then throw the ball into the cutoff man without an noticible arch.

QUOTE(AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 03:19 PM) Clark sucks. I'll stay with Pods. The only thing that Pods does better is marry.

How our outfield defense is setup now is how it should be at the start of the game. Unless of course we get B. Clark. And then he goes into LF.

Crede's stance looks similiar to the rest of this year. Some of his swings look the same. But when he pops it up, his front foot opens up and he lunges at the outside pitch. He needs to come out of this, when he is centering the ball up he can destroy it.

Brady Clark stats. Not as sexy as Soriano, but lets look at them compared to Pods. .292BA, .387OBP Pods doesnt steal anymore anyway. We put Clark in LF. Nice

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 03:04 PM) Dye cranked a home run against Williams at the Cell on a low fastball. ' Nice Dye is our MVP this year. Thome gets our hitters better pitches to hit. But Dye has been consistantly good all year long, while Kong and Thome have been streaky.

Hopefully by Monday, Brady Clark on the team.
