QUOTE(YASNY @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 01:20 PM) I remember we were all ready to chuck the season when Mark had that phantom ankle injury in ST. But ... hey ... it's cool if he wants to even take a chance on hurting himself doing this. No problem. Its cute that Buerhle wants to slip and slide and all. But it makes me shudder to then insert Conteras into our playoff roster and Felix Diaz into our rotation if he focks up his ankle.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 01:19 PM) Could someone let me know when the delay is over. I switched the tunes back on so my co-worker wont get pissed. One of the perks of having an office. Dont worry about pissing anyone off.

Brian Dolgin has to watch a game once in a while. He just said its shocking that Garcia was shaking in the first inning.

Hopefully they can take this time to reflect on the fact that its Nate Robertson pitching and not vintage Randy Johnson.

In Oakbrook the clouds are starting clear out in the west and the rain is just a drizzle.

The game is halted. RAIN DELAY AND FOR RAIN DELAY THEATER SSI71 WILL DO AN OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS OF GREG WALKER THE HITTING COACH.

Cy Robertson K's gooch

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 12:54 PM) And hence why the game threads suck anymore. 3/4s of the posts are b****ing about Konerko, and there isn't one post in this whole thread that actually has what matters most... THE SCORE OF THE GAME! :headshake 2-1 We have 1 run on 1 hit, gooch solo homer. The game hasnt changed since the first inning.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 12:52 PM) You clearly have not been following baseball if Robertson is crappy. Crappy maybe not. Cy Young though. We were getting 3 hit on Monday up until Trammel lost his mind and took Cy Douglas out. We got 3 hit last night. Now Cy Robertson is cruizing. Someone inform the team that yes Gooch hit a home run, but that doesnt automatically mean that its batting practice.

Check out a hitting chart on PK at the cell this year. They have these red dots for outs. The area of 3rd base to SS looks like someone murdered about 100 people.

The storm has arrived in Oakbrook.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 12:26 PM) I seriously f***ing strongly hate him. Like I throw s*** when he f***s up. Everytime I hear his theme song and then a bunch of people chanting Paullie Paullie I cringe. I keep thinking of the Richie Rich cartoons from when I was a kid and the dog named dollar. Paullie and the dollars signs in his eyes when he gets up. CHA CHING

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 12:23 PM) You cannot even be f***ing serious. Why have a I not learned that if an infielder gets the ball PK is out. YOU ARE THE SLOWEST f***ER ON THIS PLANET Paullie is basically just looking for a payday after this year. $$$$ is made on homers. Not on making contact. So the focker is just going to swing for the fences every single time he gets up. Hope someone gives you your payday Paullie. Hopefully its not us.

Paully Pull Baseball Is up.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 12:19 PM) Iguchi gets one back. I like him a lot when he actually gets to hit. Thats why if we ever got Vizquel you would have Vizquel bat 2nd and then have gooch bat down in the lineup and let him swing away. If he got to swing away he is hitting over 300 with a lot more power.

GOOOCH DING DONG DILLY

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 12:13 PM) Ya seriously if we lose this series with our 3-4-5 going we should seriously consider removing ourselves from the league. Garcia is no longer our number 2???? Someone forgot to post that memo.

Hey Freddy. I know its early and you got your hangover going and all but pitch like you have a pair. FOCKER

Whats with Garcia being the f***ing mental midget in the first inning every game.

QUOTE(YahtzeeSox @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 12:08 PM) I swear to God I hate watching Garcia the first two innings of a game. AJ should kick him in the Jimmy before he goes out on the mound.

Games on. Freddy gives up a single right off the bat. Now Freddy cant find the plate and is behind the next hitter.

The pregame show drives me nuts. Ozzie is on with Rooney. Ozzie said "Timo is the guy on the bench we can count on most." Is this why Timo played some first last night. I dont care if its anyone, but please get someone outside of a 5'5 midget to play 1st. Having Timo pinch hit, sure. Having Timo play OF, well its not the best, having him play anywhere else is stupid.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 09:23 AM) Jason Schmidt is crap outside of a Giants uniform and always has been.... HE IS NO LONGER ON STEROIDS HE'S NOT AN ACE! THE FACT IS THAT HE WOULD HAVE AN ERA WELL OVER 6 IN THE CELL... But Felix Diaz will thank you when he's back on the team because either he or El Duque is injured... Man i'm sick of you bandwagon fans who don't follow baseball who bring up stupid trade ideas just because the guys name is famous... NO MATTER HOW MUCH WORSE HE IS THEN ANYTHING WE HAVE... I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO JUST IGNORE IT BUT YOU GUYS ARE PISSING ME OFF, SOMEONE HAD TO SAY IT! JASON SCHMIDT IS OVER, AND IF IT WASN'T FOR BEING INTRODUCED TO BERRY BONDS AND BALCO HE NEVER WOULD OF BEEN! PLEASE GET A FREAKIN' CLUE!

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 09:31 AM) I understand that but we've beaten up some very good bullpens this year, Angels included. I know they didn't have krod when we played them but Scot Shields is no slouch. I think the guys we have are very capable of situational hitting outside of Uribe. He is way to impatient at times. Last night he got the job done with the ground out. But he swung at the first pitch that came near the plate. He got lucky that they were playing back on that one. They need to work counts better, take a few more walks, and put the ball in play without a long arch on it. We all love home runs just as much as anyone, but the home runs dont come all the time in the playoffs. We are a small ball team with some power. We need to maximize OBP and maximize our chances with men on. Too many times this year we have men on in scoring position with no outs only to get none out of the inning. Usually its a big strikeout that starts the bailout of the other team. Crede has been hitting better lately. AJ needs to go back to what he was when he was with the twins and that was an all fields hitter. He has been pulling the ball too much lately. This of course is why he has his career high in homers already in mid July. Konerko has $$$ on his mind, so he is hopeless on the pull for homer theory. Carl and Thomas will be fine. Dye has been hitting better. Arow needs to go to right more. Uribe wont change. Maybe if we could play Ozuna more. Uribe plays better when his starting job is up for grabs.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 09:19 AM) Whatever the A's are doing we're doing better considering we've scored more runs then them. We have scored a ton of runs for years. It doesnt make our offense consistent.
