Ahh crap. CMon Timo. I can't believe they don't bring in Romero

Poor Brian Anderson has no clue up there. He looks awful.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 08:00 PM) Hawk: I would rather have a guy who was 10-7 with a 4.25 ERA than a guy who was 7-10 with a 3.65 ERA STFU Hawk! I would too. It means they score a lot of runs for the guy!

QUOTE(daa84 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 07:46 PM) i still think id rather have garcia over radke. silva is a freak. we talk about buerhle having good control and never striking guys out and letting the D do the work....silva 8 walks this year only 60Ks in 159 IP.....8 BB! Yah. Somebody needs to fire the guy in Philly who said that Eric Milton was worth more than Carlos Silva.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 07:43 PM) behind whoever in FLA is number 3, hes the best number 3 pitcher in the bigs imo Carlos Silva would be the best number 3 if he's a number 3. But I'm not sure he is. He's probably the number 2. So Radke's a really good 3 too.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 07:41 PM) So you're saying he'd be a great playoff pitcher? If its on the road and during the day he'd almost be unbeatable.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 07:39 PM) Garcia is just phenomenal at home. One more hit, and he will have allowed 10 hits in 4 of his last 6 starts. He sucks at home and at night, so this isn't a very good combo.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 07:37 PM) Who the f*** cares about the first week. Robin Ventura was 0-41. So what? Because if you suck for your first few weeks to a month, you usually get sent back down. See Arnie Munoz, Felix Diaz, Brandon McCarthy, and countless others.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 07:34 PM) come on man, you cant judge after 2 ABs. and if you are gonna, then olvios first AB he tore teh cover off the ball. 3 run dong off of pettite I wasn't talking about BA necessairily. just the sox in general.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 07:32 PM) You mean like Justin Morneau, Michael Ryan, and Jason Bartlett? And Dustin Mohr, Jason Kubel, Terry Tiffee, Baker, etc. etc. I was talking about their first couple of weeks to a month.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 07:31 PM) Cause we absolutely suck at developing minor league players into MLB ready players. As much as I hate to, I'm gonna have to agree. I can't remember the last minor leaguer to come up and do anything of worth. Except for Jaime Burke. I guess the last one would be Burly.

How come our minor leaguers don't come up and tear up the majors for their first couple of weeks like the Twins players always do.

Ouch. Mariano blows a save against Tampa Bay.

bunt with anderson for timo so timo can K with RISP. Nevermind. FOr some reason I'm forgetting Crede.

You should go be a fortune teller fathom.

lol

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 06:58 PM) If it was anyone but the Twins, I would agree. We have more games left this season against them than anyone else. Exactly my point. We as fans would say, "oh no, they have all those games where they could beat us and catch up." The players think, "all right, we have all those games where we can come off the sweep and put them in their place."

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 06:55 PM) Yep, getting swept by the Twins in August sure will do wonders for the Sox's confidence. I'm not saying that at all. If we got swept you think it would be this terrible thing. They would think, "oh well, it happens, lets go get the next team."

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 06:53 PM) There's a sense of urgency because one bad stretch of games against the Twins, and this lead can go from 15 to 6 or 7 very fast. We still have a fairly tough schedule the rest of the way against some very good hitting teams. I have no faith in our ability to outslug teams. YOU may not have that faith, but I think they do. THey definately don't look at day to day games like we do.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 06:48 PM) f*** no do I want the Indians to win. Too many people in the Sox organization seem to want to coast to the playoffs. I've never seen more articles written about a team planning their playoff rotation/resting players while there were still about 50 games left in the season. As Al Davis says, Just Win Baby! Thats fine for you and me, but I don't think players think like that. Why should there be a sense of urgency when you have a 12 game lead in August? Why not just wait to have that sense of urgency in the 3rd week of September. But I don't think they aren't playing hard. THey just aren't playing well.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 06:44 PM) Anyone agree with me that if we lose tonight, I'd rather we be no-hit? Of course, I'd be extremely pleased if we won tonight. However, if we're going to lose, rather it be an embarrassing loss to hopefully shake this team up. If you want that, you want Cleveland to start winning. Tough to wake up and throw it all out there when you have a 12 game lead. But I don't think they aren't trying. The offense just sucks right now.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 06:37 PM) In Birmingham, AA ball. And thanks.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 06:37 PM) birmingham barons AA thanks.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 06:36 PM) Just wait for Francisco Liriano in the next few years. = Johan Jr. Hey DBAH0, where is Honel pitching right now?
