Alright another break. Now make it hurt.

Catch a break there. Make it hurt Frank.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 9, 2005 -> 05:50 PM) There's not a doubt in my mind I'd rather play the A's in the playoffs than the Rangers or Angels. The Rangers offense is awesome, and the Angels have a dynamite team with a great bullpen. We didn't see Vlad from them this year or K-Rod, which really helped. We match-up better against the A's....we just have to stop playing like pussies against them. If we'd play the Rangers in the playoffs which won't happen, we'd rock them. Probably a sweep.

Man, everytime we hit a ball hard it's right to someone, those a's have magnets in their gloves or something.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jul 9, 2005 -> 05:42 PM) If a guy with six career homers takes them anyonecould be on them Good point.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 9, 2005 -> 05:43 PM) Which he apparently is incapable of doing...

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 9, 2005 -> 05:40 PM) Would it surprise you? His numbers are really down this year, and this info was relayed to me by the father of a Sox minor leaguer who gave plenty of details about it. To be honest it would surprise me. His numbers may suggest it but his body type does not imo. There is a player or two on the sox I would suspect but not him.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jul 9, 2005 -> 05:40 PM) Gotta love widger. Two out walk. LOL. Gotta chirp in for some Widge love.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 9, 2005 -> 05:37 PM) His power numbers are really down. In my mind, and according to the father of a Sox minor leaguer, there's a reason for that. I know what you're suggesting but I really doubt it.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 9, 2005 -> 05:32 PM) Beane pwns KW, A's pwn MB, Swisher pwns the Sox....give up. My sig makes me feel better. So give up. That a boy Mark, now we got 'em right where we want 'em Time for our O to strike back now.

Alright, cmon Mark, roll Kendall up and the O will get you some runs.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 9, 2005 -> 05:28 PM) Shwisher walks. Why waste 4 pitches? PLUNK HIS ASS IN THE HEAD! Um.....No.

1-0 A's on a Byrnes double.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 9, 2005 -> 05:22 PM) That ball didn't hit the plate? I could have swore I heard the usual "thud" of the ball hitting the plate and bouncing back. It hit the plate but bounced fair.

3-0 twins on a lecroy homer.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 9, 2005 -> 05:19 PM) What is PK doing, waiting for the curve? He just took two good fastballs to hit. By the way he took a hack at that curve, it appears that's exactly what he's doing.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 9, 2005 -> 05:17 PM) Hawk was about a tenth of a second away from stating you could put it on the board. When the ball hits the chain part of the fence it sometimes just disappears and it looks like it left the park.

Frank flies out to Kotsay. Cmon Pauly.

Gooch!!!!! That a boy.

That curve is so nasty.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 9, 2005 -> 05:12 PM) If I had to pick 1 guy I didn't want to beat us right now in this lineup it'd be Crosby. Chavez is still a better hitter, but he's also a lefty, Crosby's hotter, etc. If we can't retire Crosby I'd almost say walk him. He's the guy I'd rather not let beat us. 2 nice grounders to Pablo...Great work MARK! Right, Chavez is obviously the best hitter they have but for some reason in my mind I fear Bobby more then Eric.

That a boy Mark, pitching over the sun double.

Anyone else fear Crosby the most in this lineup?? Even moreso then Chavez.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 9, 2005 -> 05:08 PM) I remember Carlos having problems during these early 6 o'clock starts against the A's also that cost us a couple of runs. It's tough, nothing you can do about it.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 9, 2005 -> 04:39 PM) Pitchers with a lot of promise who make $360,000 a year on first place teams usually are not available. Day walks a lot of guys. His numbers haven't been too impressive. A lot of people on this board says you have to add a run to NL pitcher's ERA's to determine how they will do in the AL. It all comes out very bad. It would mean he has a career AL equivalent ERA of 5.31. If they are trading for him to use as a chip for something better, that's great. To trade for him to actually contribute is far fetched. I agree with you about El Duque. I don't think he's ever been healthy this season, and I would be shocked if he doesn't go on the DL again. I think KW can do better than Day. That might be why he's looking at Day though so he can do better.
