Gooch is taking goooood swings here though. Lets see what he can do.

We just got shafted.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 03:07 PM) Cliff looked pretty good. Didn't like the walk but he looked good in his stint. He looked so much better today then on sunday. If his slider is around the plate he'll be fine. I still say it's unrealistic to expect the Cliff from last year but he'll be solid for us imo.

Gooch oppo homer with his best bat flip to win it.

QUOTE(striker62704 @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 03:04 PM) I bet Hafner homers to show ozzie Lefty vs Lefty matchups are over rated Who would you rather have in thten Neal? He's our best reliever. And he gets it done.

Fudge. 2-0 to hafner, not good.

Lets go neal, god damn it I f***in hate Project Donkey.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 03:02 PM) Ok, going to say this right now...if Neal Cotts does not throw the next pitch in this game, ozzie is out of his mind. Ozzie has been out of his mind his whole life. Neal is coming in though.

QUOTE(Felix @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 03:02 PM) Its the top of the 9th. There is no possible way that the game should have been over by now (except a cancellation due to rain).

Booooootiful. Neal-Hafner, do it.

Drop the slider down and away and you'll get him fishing.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 02:59 PM) However, cheering against the Sox in the game thread is a whole different story. JMO. Hey, to be honest, it might make some of these game threads better compared to what they are at times.

Not good.

We all cheerlead on here too, he's not trolling or anything. I actually like that we got a real Indians fan on the board now, could bring good conversation.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 02:51 PM) If Mota can have this control all season, look out cause he'll be a big help to that pen if he throws strikes. If he pitches like that, he'll be the Mota from a few years ago and dominate. He looked absolutely fantastic.

f***, f***, f***. Mota was just fantastic there, wow.

Brian, trying to take him to right, hopefully because of that he'll be able to protect against the breaking ball if he gets one.

QUOTE(rventura23 @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 02:48 PM) did the tribe loose anyone from the bullpen besides bobby Arthur Rhodes, David Riske.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 02:48 PM) Mota got the job done. Cintron had a good AB but failed in the end. I don't like the idea of Anderson here, but maybe he'll surprise me. This is the type of guy where being agressive could be a good thing. I actually have a good feeling about BA here.

Crap. Just looked bad that whole ab. Brian will get him for us though.

QUOTE(rventura23 @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 02:46 PM) anyone know what the action in the sox bullpen is? Bobby was warming up at the beginning of the inning.

Good battle but he doesn't look very good up there. I'm hoping for a walk.

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 02:44 PM) Can we just use this thread then going forward for the rest of the year just to vent about our bullpen? I know this will not be the last time Ozzie screws up when it comes to our bullpen JUST KIDDING No, you aren't kidding. Ozzie is going to mess up plenty of times, all managers do. He's also going to make some moves that you and I hate that turn out to be gold.

Alex has to shorten up. That kind of swing is not going to get it done against Mota, he keeps swinging like that and he k's.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 02:41 PM) That would be awful. Juan doesn't get good jumps. I have no problem with being agressive, but you got to pick and choose the situation and doing it now, this late in the game would be a poor move, imo. Don't let Juan get far off first base, period. I love the guy but he's just a horrendous base runner.
