QUOTE(Dick Allen @ May 26, 2006 -> 08:41 PM) Politte sucks. He needs to be replaced on the roster. His ERA is in the Felix Diaz territory.

At some point either Cliff needs to prove he can get hitters out again. Or he needs to figure out a new career.

QUOTE(ottawa_sox @ May 26, 2006 -> 08:35 PM) If Anderson continues to struggle and Fields makes the adjustment to playing in left in Charlotte, maybe we'll see Fields in left and Pods in center before the year is out. What makes you think that Fields comes up to the majors and rakes the ball or hits at all. We have had a lot of people hit in the bandbox of Charlotte and look like studs, only to come up and completely look like turds. Jeremy Reed tore up Charlotte. Brian Anderson hit 300 down there.

Our relievers should take notice. See how the Toronto relievers, throw strike one. Pitch inside to right handers, and then when they get strike 2 they put the hitter away. They do not, throw get me over meatball down the cock on pitch one. Or nibble like a hamster the minute they get 0-2 to get the count to full because they are scared to put the hitter away.

QUOTE(Sox It To Em @ May 26, 2006 -> 08:28 PM) Game = ova. The game was over the minute we had to rely on Uribe or Anderson to drive in runs. I love it when DJ and Hawk keep harping on how the sox dont expect them to hit. I am sure when KW was dreaming up this season that he though you know what, Uribe could hit say 180 and Anderson could stay around 160. Yeah f*** the fact that picthers in the National League can hit better than both of them, they play great D. Trust me guys, the minors are filled with guys who have the most electric gloves and moves you have ever seen, but the guys cant hit.

Someone needs to have a come to Jesus talk with Cliffy. Cliffy I want to thank you for last year. Now onto this year. You have stunk. Your ERA is in the 7s. Either it starts to move down, or you will. Thank you

DJ saying the Cliff is throwing the ball well proves that they must pass out drugs before the broadcast happens.

Why is it that every year we carry some reliever that stays in the 6 to 8 ERA all year long.

QUOTE(Ndgt10 @ May 26, 2006 -> 08:23 PM) What about Nelson? Nelson is a ROOGY. He is there for a right handed batter.

Politte is just about to let this get away. Hawk: For you little leaguers at home, this is what we call s***ting the bed. When you start to unravel the minute a bit of pressure is applied to your spincter.

At this point I am thinking. Thorton and his nasty crap in the 8th, no matter righty or lefty. And then Jenks and his nasty crap in the 9th. Politte and Cotts need to fight it out for 7th inning bridge man.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ May 26, 2006 -> 08:18 PM) Clifford looks good, real good. Leadoff walk.

This is why we shouldnt of had extended spring training with the boone logan experiment for so long. Dropping games that we could of won to teams we should of beat is why we won last year. Our formula last year was to beat up on the teams we were supposed to beat, and play 500 or a bit better against the better teams. This year we have lost a few games that we should of won due to open tryouts.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 26, 2006 -> 08:06 PM) I'm not sure how, but we have to get Ozuna in the lineup whenever we face a lefty. When Garcia pitches, we have the best defenders in the lineup. No Ozuna.

2 times in Uribes history has he had a few good months. Once when he first started with the sox, when someone else was pushing him for a job. And last year when he had a leg kick added. Outside of that Uribe is worthless as a batter.

How does Uribe keep on sucking at the plate to almost Colorado levels and yet because he can catch a ball, he gets a pass.

QUOTE(Wolverine31 @ May 26, 2006 -> 07:57 PM) Your vaunted pitching staff is being lit up like a Christmas tree when you play real teams rather than feast off non-contenders with the #30 ranked schedule in the majors. BTW, Tigers up 7-2 over the Tribe. 2.5 GB for you after tonight. Congrats on trolling. You will love your parting gifts.

When our pitchers dont shake off AJ, they have good outings. When you see them shaking off the first 3 or four signs being put down to get their own pitch they are going to get rocked.

Crede nice play. Saved a run.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 26, 2006 -> 07:54 PM) In my opinion, the main reason the Tigers are better than the Sox so far is that Granderson has been real solid for them, and Anderson is disgraceful. That and a few throw away games with Boone Logan experiments.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 26, 2006 -> 07:52 PM) Why are we the only team to ever have our pitches being tipped? IT'S NOT FAIR! Well last year we blamed it on f***ing lights, this year its the tipping. Or maybe just maybe Freddy is throwing a 89mph meatball over the middle of the plate, on 0-2 counts where the hitters is just trying to make contact.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ May 26, 2006 -> 07:50 PM) Why would he swing at first pitch after the guy gave up a HR, a 4 pitch walk and then a hit... He talked to Uribe before the AB. Uribe sayed Profundo. WHY THE f*** IS FREDDY STILL IN THIS GAME. ARE WE TRYING TO WIN THIS GAME, OR ARE WE STILL PULLING THE BULLs*** OF KEEPING FREDDY IN THE GAME, HOPING TO GET HIM A WIN. f*** INDIVIDUAL RECORDS.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 26, 2006 -> 07:49 PM) I love 1st pitch outs. Maybe this is why Credes batting average is dropping like a rock. 2 weeks ago he was at .315, now he is at .288.

Crede needs to drive these runs in before the black hole of our lineup comes up and kills all chance of scoring runs.

I would like to say that the first opportunity that Hunter dumf***stedt to f*** up a play he did in tonights game. Someone needs to send video of his sorry ass to the front office.
