QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:44 PM) The sad thing is if our offense was even par with the middle of the league we would go on a bunch of 10+ game win streaks with this pitching staff. Could you imagine what it would be like to have the best record in baseball. I guess we'll never know.

Falling behind arod is a bad idea.

HE GONE

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:34 PM) I forget our offense is fine. You are the one who was talking about how great this pitcher is and that pitcher is when they shut out the sox only to watch them get destroyed by their next opponent. I am sure Aaron Small is Randy Johnson version II, but I think our offense should be able to hit him. When did I say he's Randy Johnson? He's pitched good this year whether you guys want to admit it or not. You can take the teams that slugged their way to victories and booted the ball around the field, I'll take the team who scores just enough runs, catches the damn ball and has 73 wins through August 9th.

Nice inning for Freddy.

HE GONE

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:30 PM) Well the point of this game is to "Score" more runs than the opposition. Just in case you didnt know. We've sure done that a few times this year now haven't we?

PAULY!!!!

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:26 PM) Last year in the beginning of august we couldnt hit, struck out a bunch of times with men in scoring position. Kicked the ball around and lost like 11 in a row. This year the only reason that isnt happening is pitching and defense. But our offense is blowing dog. Small is a lot of things, but he is not a strikeout pitcher. Well the same guys that hit also defend in case you didn't know.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:20 PM) He's the most overrated player on Soxtalk. Everybody loves his stolen bases, but not only can he not drive home runs, he doesn't score that many. Scott's actually been pretty damn clutch this year, he's batting somewhere in the neighborhood of .330 with risp and 2 outs and him not scoring runs isn't his fault.

HE GETS OUT OF IT

HE GONE, 1 more Freddy.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:15 PM) no play at 2nd? Uh..No.

Works as a bunt. 2 and 3rd, 1 out.

Freddy in trouble.

Can't keep falling behind hitters, Freddy.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:10 PM) I'd just like to point out that this is Aaron Small. The same Aaron Small with a 3.09 era.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:10 PM) I thought the whole idea of smartball was to score those runs that get in scoring position. Not just this game, but all year we haven't done that. This is a bulls*** weak offense that would get killed in the playoffs. Then stop watching them play.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:09 PM) Is small sneaky or something? I dont think Pods has swung yet Sometimes you can't pick a guy up, period.

Scotty has no chance against small today. Small's gonna have to hit his bat.

Damn, Juan rarely does that in these situations.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:06 PM) WIDGEANATOR BUNTS THEM OVER FIRST GRINDER RULE GET THEM ON SECOND GRINDER RULE MOVE THEM OVER THIRD GET THEM IN LETS NOT VIOLATE RULE 3 Incorrect, grinder rule number 1 is "win or die trying"

Cmon Juan, make contact. This is where you shine.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:04 PM) So I know it's a 3-0 count...but why exactly is Blum not bunting again? He was bunting.

That a boy Widge
