QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 08:35 PM) That's what he's saying....he's worthless now that he can't steal. These are his numbers in Sept. .344 .408 .422 How the hell is that worthless? Do you know how many teams would kill for those leadoff numbers in September this month.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 08:33 PM) If you count in all the chances he has thrown away to score by getting caught stealing and by getting picked off... that negates from his obp in my eyes. I mean sure he gets on but he doesn't give us a chance to score waaaaaaaaaaaay too f***ing often. He is a s***ty base runner.... plain and simple. He's f***ing hurt, and he's been that way since the break. It killed his effectiveness on the bases. Where do you guys get this stuff.

QUOTE(sircaffey @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 08:33 PM) I'm not kidding one bit. Pods without SBs, is pretty worthless. He leads the f***ing league in stolen bases. He stopped stealing once he got hurt.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 08:31 PM) He stepped up and won their game for them tonight. LOL. So he won 1 game. Blum stepped up and won a big game in Minny. Whats the diff.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 08:29 PM) You sure can make dogs*** sound like steak. Are you sure you didnt get released after the last Gulf War. Dude, you said we need linedrive high OBP guys and I said at least we are good to go in the top 2 spots. What the f*** are you talking about.

QUOTE(sircaffey @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 08:27 PM) If Pods doesn't relearn how to steal a base, we dont have a good leadoff hitter. LOL. You ARE kidding right?

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 08:26 PM) Matt Lawton won the game for the Yankees tonight. He was available at the deadline for a minimal cost. Now, I'm not saying we should have gone after him, but there were some players available. However, KW went after the two superstars, KG Jr. and Huff. Lawton sucks this year.

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 08:26 PM) Nope 3 games!!! 2.5 ahead of CLE and NYY We'll be 3.5 ahead of Boston for the WC.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 08:24 PM) Who ? Uh. Our 1-2 hitters. Pods is fourth in the AL out of leadoff hitters. Hito is fifth I believe, though don't quote me on that.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 08:17 PM) KW needs to find line drive high OBP hitters for next year. This dip your back shoulder, try and launch it on the dan ryan sucks. Least we are good in the top 2 spots for that.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 08:10 PM) I think the Indians will lose 3 more games, at the most, this season. They're just on a sensational run. It was obvious this series that their offense is just so much more focused at the plate than the Sox. I'm just grateful we won last night. If they lose 3 more games they are toast.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 08:07 PM) This is in no way a reaction to what just happened, but I'm fairly confident the Indians will win the AL Central due to their easy schedule. They're playing at such a high level now. The Wild Card is a much more likely scenario, IMO. The lead is 2.5. We play 2 crappy teams, then Cleveland. If they gain a game a series (really a game 1/2 in one) they would only tie us. So if they want to win the division they pretty much avhe to win 6 out of 7, then at least 2/3./

My good man Ozzie. WTF was that.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 08:03 PM) Um - yeah...6 wins would be probably win the division. Well, I say I think, because you never know what the Indians will do. I think they will lose at least 1 i think....i hope.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 08:03 PM) To win both series, we'd have to go 6-2. Considering we face Johan tomorrow, I'll be content with 5-3. But that's the only unfavorable matchup, and as we have seen tonight, things don't always go like they are supposed to.

If we can win both the next series, I think we'll win the division and be a shoe-in for the playoffs.

Boston now losing. WC lead could be 3.5

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 07:54 PM) Hard to find a lot of holes when you keep popping up We've had 3 innings where we could have had big innings, but we just hit the ball right at people. That's how you have a shutout. It's not like they're not trying hard.

Just can't find a hole. It's a good thing we won last night.

Elarton has given up 3 ER in his last 3 starts FWIW.

Well if that doesn't give us MO, nothing will.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 07:42 PM) Infield in... there you f***ing go ozzie. Yah, it didn't work last night.

f***. We are just hitting it right at people. This blows.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 07:29 PM) Remember last time Crede hit a big walkoff homer? I'm pretty sure he put us into first place last year vs the Tigers, and then we went into a massive slump. In no way am I predicting that, I'm just adding a little tidbit. Yah, but thats because we just lost Frank and Maggs (again)

Oh well. Woulda scored a run anyway.
