The best part about all of this is that we are doing this with a lot of injuries and very little offensive production. to good pitching. Can't wait to see them put it all together.

Not to be too pesimistic, but Garland is due for a let down, we need some offense today.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 08:59 PM) Good point. It is also that much harder to get get around the tag. You have so many options with the head first slide to evade the tag. Players should only do a feet first slide if they know for a fact that they are gonna be safe. Which doesn't happen often since most stolen base are contested. Qwerty, I have to know is that Eliza Dushku in your signature there?

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 04:44 PM) When we all saw the lineup for this game everyone on the boards went nuts saying it was gonna be a slaughter and our guys would be kicking balls across the infield...........but...........it didn't happen. Freddy Garcia stepped up and pitched his ass off for 7 innings and the only reason we lost is cause we couldn't get the clutch hit. That's all. We finished the trip 6-2 which is kick ass by my standards. We get a day off tomorrow to rest up and get some guys healthy, we got some nice home cooking coming up, and we're done with Oakland. No flaming wreckage of a thread tonight. Your right on. With that line-up we lose 2-1 in the bottom of the 9th. One thing we can all expect all year is that this team will battle until the end. There is the grinder mentality everyone has wanted. Get home, get healthy and start a new streak.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 04:40 PM) He desperately needs to ride the pine for a while. I'm getting really sick and tired of him and his rally killing. If Frank were healthy I would agree with you. I'd rather not see the Timo full time player experiment again.

Dye will hit guys, let's not panic. he will be fine.

Excellent road trips guys. Come home, get healthy and beat Detroit. What is the status on Iguchi, Uribe, and Ozuna I've been gone all day.

My last comments on this game: It should have been a W, period. Ozzie f***ed up, he left Buerhle in way too long and he has done this already a few times this year. We have just won in spite of that. I think the guy at home was out, I think Marte balked, Jermaine Dye will not do that often, nor will Pablo Ozuna. The official scorer did not give Willie Harris an E, but he should have. Willie has no business playing SS. Let's hope Uribe and Ozuna are fine and at least 1 is ready to go tomorrow. If my comments about Ozzie offended some, I cannot help that. He needs to be smarter and make better decisions, he is not a rookie manager anymore. I get pissed everytime The Sox lose and just because we won 8 in a row, I will not lay off that, I want them to win everyday. Let's also hope this isn't a sign of things to come. Sorry, but I've been a Sox fan for 20+ years.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 11:24 PM) Exactly. As much as myself and others b**** during the game, at the end of the night, it's just one out of 162 games. A much bigger concern in the health of our guys, especially Uribe. The difference between him and whoever backs him up is enormous. Also, I'm concerned about Hermanson. He's been banged up for 5 days, and still can't pitch. Hermanson was availiable last night. he's ready to go.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 11:16 PM) Where'd that s*** about Ozzie come from? Yas, I should have put that whole post in green because I was being sarcastic. I'm extremely pissed about this loss and blame Ozzie. I would feel a lot better had we been blown out.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 11:12 PM) We don't "grasp" it? I'm sorry, but I know when give away game happens. But, it's not the end of the world. No, your right, it's not. Ozzie is the best manager ever and every decision he makes is right. We should have won this game, but we didn't. Oh well, we are 16-5.

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 had a bad game and had no business in the 7th. Pitchers have bad games, look at Zito yesterday and Harden today.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 11:08 PM) I think those complaining about the mood around here are failign to grasp how bad of a giveaway this is tonight Thank-you Punch. That is the point I have been trying to get across.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 11:02 PM) You know what you guys are absolutely right, lets get a new f***in taem. These guys f***in suck lets get rid of all these ass holes. They're 16 and 5 can you believe this f***in s***. What a bunch of f***in losers. :headshake You know what dude, take ur little blue smiley and shove it up your ass. 16-5 is great, but 17-4 was very realistic had Ozzie taken Buerhle out or maybe not. I thought the point of this board was to talk Sox and if that means venting frustrations, So Be It. Don't call people losers you do not know.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 11:01 PM) Actually didnt he play SS a ton of times during ST and didnt he start out as a SS. Lets stop the Willie apologists before they start. He is crap. He does nothing but tease you with great speed. Agreed

I understand that teams lose games. But this damn game was won. Just use a damn reliever from your deep pen to start the 7th when it is so painfully obvious that your starter did not have his best stuff.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 10:56 PM) Merry Christmas Oakland A's... -Willie Harris, Jermaine Dye, Mark Buehrle Take Buerhle off there and add Ozzie

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 10:53 PM) I like to think of it as winning despite Ozzie. I don't think any of us would be complaining on here if he let Vizcaino or Marte start the 7th inning. Exactly. Thank-you

Nice pitch Damaso

QUOTE(whitesoxeducator @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 10:45 PM) would you guys rather have sleepy than ozzie? I like Ozzie, but he needs to be smarter. Period.

QUOTE(thomsonmi @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 10:44 PM) Aaron strikes out. Must be Cora and Ozzie's fault. 104 years of suffering have turned us all into freakin morons. Our team is 16-4 and we are the biggest bunch of whiney b****es in the world. No one f***ing said that. We are criticizing for stupid decisions that have bit us in the ass tonight.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 10:43 PM) Isn't dropped 3rd not in effect? Dye was on 1st. Not with 2 outs

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 10:42 PM) Ugh, I'm not liking the way this is looking Im not either, this game should have been a W. But the manager decided not to go to the deep bullpne when he should have, AGAIN.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 10:39 PM) Best third base coach in baseball? Get back to the game Hawk, you shouldn't be on soxtalk! He is probably better than Dale Svuem though Thank-you. Passed balls and missed throws havemade Cora look a lot better than he is.

Time to kill your old team, Jermaine
