Please be smart here aj, dont roll it over.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ May 5, 2006 -> 09:16 PM) No, it's not. Ozzie has never operated that way and he probably never will. Unless you have Mariano Rivera in your bullpen, there is no, "it's Bobby's, the end." Thornton was throwing gas, there was a left-hander in and Bobby has been pitching some serious innings as of late. There was one runner on...one. Bobby didn't get it done tonight, not Ozzie. And once again, the 9th is muuuuch different from the 8th. Matt did his job in the 8th, Bobby is our closer, he should get the 9th.

QUOTE(AbeFroman @ May 5, 2006 -> 09:15 PM) if iguchi gets on here, do you pinch hit ozuna for thome? LOL. Thanks for the laugh, I needed that.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ May 5, 2006 -> 09:11 PM) I haven't read through the Jenks inning here, but, it would appear people are blaming both Ozzie as well? Get out of here. Thornton was throwing gas in the 8th, he was left in to get the left-hander out and he couldn't do it. The ball was then given to the closer and he just blew the save, plain and simple. It happens. Luckily, this was his first blown save of the year. He clearly didn't have it, it happens. Better luck tomorrow. Addy, this is not the first time Ozzie has done this crap this year. He keeps using our setup guys in the 9th inning, Matt did his job in the 8th, you go right to him in the 9th, period. This game is Bobby's fault BUT on a whole I'm just tired of Ozzie f***ing around in the 9th. The 9th is Bobby's, the end.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 5, 2006 -> 09:07 PM) You are exactly right. The pitchers did not execute. Nothing wrong with the matchups. Real easy to blame the manager. Bobby sucked tonight and he gets the most blame here but Ozzie has to stop dicking around in the 9th. He keeps bringing Bobby into real difficult situations created by others. No f***ing need for that.

This is bad, horrible, disgusting.

Not good. FUUUUUCK

Walk. CMon Bobby

3-0.

Angel gets the job done.

QUOTE(SnB @ May 5, 2006 -> 08:46 PM) jenks is our closer, he should be out on the 9th. ^^^ Matt did his job, no need to pitch him in the 9th. Do your thing Bobby.

Bahh. Not good.

I'm kind of expecting not to see Bobby here.

JOEEEEEEEE CREDE

Matt continues to pound the strikezone. 1-2-3.

Matt in.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ May 5, 2006 -> 08:13 PM) Maybe being down will wake up the offense. ^^^

Maybe being down will wake up the offense.

Random question but how has Ross looked in right the past few games? Has he at least been serviceable out there?

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ May 5, 2006 -> 07:01 PM) Does Garland have a clause in his contract that states he must allow at least one baserunner every inning? He does actually.

Run Scoring Time.

QUOTE(SnB @ May 5, 2006 -> 06:55 PM) this royals lineup is absolutely brutal, if garland can't shut this team down, i'm real worried. You're brutal.

Boo. Cmon JT

Pods is much better at trying to bunt for hits compared to when he just squares around.

That a boy Jon.
