Punch and Judy Garland

Marte has a history of walking guys with them loaded. Not an extensive history but it's burned in my brain

I've always considered Konerko the guy who hits 2 homers in a 11-4 win or a 7-3 loss. The numbers may or may not agree with me but it seems like he has always struggled in 1 run or tied game swith getting the guy home from third. Just my opinion.

I think it was time to take Freddy out. It was late enough in the game. He gave you seven strong and with lefties coming up-it was time to move on. THis lineup is a bad matchup for us because they are so left-handed

Oakland doesn't really sacrifice. Ever.

I did check the splits and you are right about his numbers being even with runners on and off but I'm goign to go with what I've seen over stats in this case.

I actually disagree ftahom but either way it wasn't a bad move by Oz this time anyways.

Paulie has been like this all season in critical spots. Some guys are better off with the bases empty or a non-close game. Don't know why but a lot of big name players who put up nice stats are like that.

HIde hte women and children, Pop Up Paulie is back

That's a good point about the Marte thing. If it was in retaliation for that, we are even and don't need to drill anyone.

yeah I do. I think we'll see him sooner than is expected. I think he's back in early June. night

ouch, that's not very good. Especially when you figure that Everrett turns around, Dye could become the Podz-platoon when lefties pitch with Frank back. I still hate the idea of quasi-platooning your leadoff hitter though.

gotcha qwerty

Jermaine hasn't hit 270 in years so I am more skeptical than you. I think he's a part time player by July. Hopefulyl I'm wrong because he is making a good amount of cash.

I didn't blame the game on Harris. I just said he was a big part of it. Not as much as JErmaine though for sure.

Name something to like about Jermaine Dye besides taking less money. Waiting.

qwerty, what the f*** are you talking about? I'm not all over willie like some others but he did let a ball go under his glove that let the go ahead run score. THat is undeniable.

It's time for Freddy to be an ace. He hasn't always gotten it doen for us in big games but this is a good time to get it goign as far as that is concerned.

as Parcells would say you can't just dial 1-880-shortstop

This loss was as bad as the Opener a year ago and as bad as the Koch games in Oakland and Seattle. Maybe there won't be a hangover but it was a brutal way to lose

"Harris is a superior player to Ozuna" It's like comparing the spelling ability of two kids on the short bus

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 11:12 PM) That's all?! He's on the wagon. he had a late start and we have a day game tomorrow. No telling what he could have accomplished with anotehr 9 pm start

it was part of it qwerty. Obviously Dye and Harris were bigger factors.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 11:09 PM) Ozzie didn't make a mistake by sending Buehrle back out there. He's supposed to be our ace. He didn't act like it tonight. He didn't have it. It happens to every ace. It's up to the manager to recognize it and act appropriately.

I think those complaining about the mood around here are failign to grasp how bad of a giveaway this is tonight

DId he really call him Do-tell?
