Freddy in trouble, might be time to bring in Bobby and get a few k's.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 07:46 PM) Well, that shows the difference between you and me. When a ball bounces away from an outfielder to allow a run to score, I get upset. When it happens, you find a way to say it was a good play. That's why we've agreed to disagree! The ball took a hard hop and just rolled real fast along the wall, not many outfielders are able to play that ball perfectly.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 07:45 PM) To be perfectly honest, I'm more worried about the Sox playing well below .500 for the rest of the way, opening the door for a race to the end. We have to get things going at home, because we're not exactly scoring a lot of runs against some very medicore pitchers. You've been worried about the Sox tanking it since April.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 07:43 PM) Not the right time for Garcia to hang a 2 strike pitch. Pods didn't play that ball very well, but at least we got an out because of the misplay. Actually that was a pretty damn good play by Scott, that ball took a funky hop and he just managed to knock it down.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 07:41 PM) Cleveland, with Victor Martinez hitting like he did last year, is a damn good team. By no means am I saying that they're 14 games better than us for the rest of the season. It's just their schedule which frightens me. Cleveland doesn't frighten me at all to be perfectly honest.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 07:38 PM) Just remember....I'm pretty sure no team had ever comeback from 3 games down in the playoffs to win a baseball series. The difference is Boston was a better team then the Yankees, Cleveland and Minny are no where near as good as we are. By the way, I've said plenty of times I won't consider anything over until the magic numbers hits 0.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 07:35 PM) We are going to get into the playoffs. The other teams dont matter. Its time for this team to learn how to string a few hits together without trying to park everyone into the stands. They need to get back to situational hitting. Driving the runner in. Its time to get this offense going before the playoffs. When 6+ Era pitchers can shut us down for most of a game its pretty focking sad. Do you ever contribute anything to game threads except for b****ing about the offense?? We understand your freakin point already.

Talk about a cue shot.

Our hitters are just a hair quick on a lot of pitches so far, all over 'em though.

AJ!!!!!!!

Gooch is getting hit a ton lately, that obviously wasn't intentional but yeesh...

There ya go Scotty.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 06:41 PM) He was unbelievable in April, and has pretty much sucked since. But he is very versatile as far as D goes. Actually he had a better May then April and he's been pretty solid in July as well. June was a real bad month for him but that's it.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 06:39 PM) Actually I'm a Padres fan too, and he sucked there as well. He is a very streaky hitter, he hasn't been on a good one since the beginning of the year. He's actually had 1 bad month and has been pretty solid the rest of the year. Not to mention he looks pretty damn smooth in the field.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 06:37 PM) That's good. I think it might have been you that said it, but for everyone that was complaining about Everett.....the other options behind him are much worse. I believe 2k5 said those exact words. I've said that Carl definitely isn't an ideal 3 hitter but he's still a damn good hitter and the best clutch hitter we have. We can't afford to lose Jurrasic.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 06:36 PM) Blum sure looks like he can hit :rolly Nothing like judging a guy on 9 ab's.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 06:36 PM) BTW, any word on how long Everett is out? If it's going to be an extended period, we need to call up another hitter. Our bench is extremely thin right now. Dr. Pain told ozzie that it's not to serious and Carl will probably just need a few days off.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 06:32 PM) i'd like to see him finish here as much as everyone, but if he's not willing to negotiate a new contract, then it's not worth it, plain and simple. Saying that, i sure hope he travels with the team, come playoffs. Exactly how I feel.

Joe just missed one off the end of the bat. 2 down for Blum.

Joe got confused, it's elvis night, you arent supposed to shave your burns.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 06:25 PM) That's not his fault at all...the guys around him just haven't been performing. Ichiro hitting only .303, Beltre hitting .256, yikes. I'm not knocking the guy at all, I'm just saying his season hasn't really been all that publicized and I didn't realize he was knocking the ball out of the park that much this year.

Sexson has the quietest 27 homers in the league.

Yikes.

AROW!!!!!!!!!
