Wow, Ozzie is TRYING to lose the game. Politte? Cliffe f***ing Pollitte? Jesus.

How some of you guys can say "it's over" down two runs in the 7th is pretty silly if you ask me.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 02:40 PM) Thanks, but I'll pass on that. Regardless of when you starting ripping the entire rotation it's still undeserved and completely off base to call the starting staff "in shambles" as you did a few minutes ago. I've collected all the information I need. Whatever dude, were clearly not going to win "anything" with this pitching staff. A .640% winning percentage sucks.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 02:37 PM) Maybe you need someone to explain to you the concept of a knee jerk reaction? I've been saying our starting pitching hasn't been good for nearly a month. Feel free to read up on that. You get the Trophy!

Maybe Ozzie is in shock from how well the bullpen is pitching lately and forgot he had a pinch hitter on the bench... That's the only explanation for that boneheaded move.

great, rain delay. Anyone know if it's going to blow over or is this game pretty much done?

Another worthy topic on the frontpage of Palehose. Can we start losing or something?

I think you're right Rowand44--offensively he's streaky, but he's playing tremendous defense again, and that makes him worth trotting out there even during his cold streaks. He's great at going to his left and right, has a cannon, and is excellent at turning the DP--I still like having him at SS over Cintron--not that you suggested that.

Uribe is proving his value, it's about time. I'm a big fan of his, and was hoping for some more consitency, 'guess I'll have to settle for these hot streaks.

WTF, Montero, Thornton, and Garcia combine for 3 runs in 8 innings? Oh, were playing the Pirates? Nevermind. Good work though by those guys, you play who's on the schedule.

Actually, one look at Owens' terrible AAA numbers should clear up any doubt that he's not ready, and might not be ever ready. For a slap hitting LF, he better be able to get on base at a good clip, and he's shown little in the way of the necessary plate discpline. It might be about time to give up on Owens. Apparetnly there was a fairly large fight behind home plate at Wrigley last night in th 9th inning.

LOL, that sounds so....wrong!

The Greg Maddux original Cubs deal--did they get anything decent back?

Liriano 7IP, 8K, 2 ER tonight. Damn. Now is only 2 innings short of ERA leader eligibility, would lead Santana by nearly half a run.

This thread has me confused, why do we need SS help?

Jesus, everything is going right for the Tigers this year, but they have a ton of young pitching. They could be on the verge of something very good. I'm glad the AL Central's future is looking so bright. New competition is exciting for everyone.

Well, looks like we'll keep pace with the Tigers. We need to sweep this pathetic team.

This how to handle a "war" between the club and the media: http://baseballanalysts.com/archives/2006/06/war_stories.php Excellent article and this guy has gained a lot of respect and dignity, something Mariotti will never know.

I don't understand the question. What did Ozzie have to do with anything about the comeback? He took Crede and Dye out early. If anything, he threw in the towel way before the players. You're taking your Ozzie man crush way too far.

I should have made it green for easy interpretation!

Iguchi only hits homers when it doesn't count.

Damnit, this whole game swung on a terrible mental mistake by Vasquez and AJ, that is more annoying than a physical error.

wow, great AB pods.

Sounds like a plan.

Paul Konerko's times to first?
