QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 06:54 PM) If we lose this game it's not the end of the season. s***, we still have time to come back anyway. Not the way we're swinging the bats right now.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 06:51 PM) That's what I'm saying....at least they have other options to possibly fill in. We have nothing. We have nothing to fill in exactly 1 spot. Almost every other position we have plenty of backup options. We just have no CF. And hell, they're spending over 2x as much as us, and they still have some pretty major holes.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 06:51 PM) if brian anderson was playing we would totally be in the lead. totally He couldn't have any less hits than Mackowiak.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 06:48 PM) That's all it took....one guy to be in their system. One guy to fill the hole. And yet...they still have like 7 starting pitchers they're rotating through, because they have no one to fill their gigantic gaping holes there.

QUOTE(klaus kinski @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 06:48 PM) Just to fan rumors, I Wonder if Philly scouts watched Jon tonight- Who's their Center Fielder at AAA? Because if anyone watched this game tonight, they sure wouldn't trade a major leaguer for Garland.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 06:45 PM) And they have guys in the minors they can call up to possibly fill that role. WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO ONE. KW traded our one possible CF replacement, and basically put all his eggs in the Anderson basket. Their minor leagues are more bare than ours, by a lot. Yes, Cabrera's done better than Anderson, but that's only because BA's been so damn bad. On paper it should have been the other way around.

QUOTE(Soxfest @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 06:45 PM) JG is a 5th starter at best , I am tired of all the excuses for Garland he SUCKS besides 1 good contract yr, time to call a spade a spade. :puke Yes, he sucks right now, but that doesn't change the fact that last year wasn't his contract year. He earned a contract by pitching well last year, he wasn't a FA at the end of the year though.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 06:43 PM) Or maybe it's because most contending teams don't have absolutely glaring holes this early in the season. I'm pretty sure la la land is thinking that things are fine with what we currently have out there. Are you serious in thinking that most contending teams don't have holes? Hell, the Yankees spend $210 million a year and they still have f***ing gaping holes on their team.

QUOTE(Ndgt10 @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 06:41 PM) At least we will get to see Tracey. Not so sure, he started like 3 days ago, might not be ready to go yet

Good, I was tired of seeing Garland's ERA go down.

Garland just can't keep the bed dry no matter what he does any more.

80 pitches through 5 for JG.

One more Jon

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 06:06 PM) Yes Pablo in @ 3rd?

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 06:04 PM) Crede has a lower back injury. Lets hope it's not like last year's lingering injury. The last thing we need is another lesser bat at the bottom of the order. Is he out of the game?

QUOTE(rudylaw @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 06:01 PM) I am not defending Cora for being retarded, I am just saying for some reason it seems to have worked out more often for not for him. I bet if he gets 5 or 6 people thrown out at home in a few game stretch he will be unemployed. Hahahaha, yeah right.

Both pitchers have thrown 52 pitches through 3. Why do I feel like Rogers is suddenly settling in?

Garland pulling a Loaiza 04, just can't keep the ball in the park.

Tigers doing a good job of working the count on Garland early.

Pods and Iguchi are just killing us right now.

It would be really nice if Pods could string a few slap hits together.

Ok...Paul...good work, but you still have a little more to do to catch JD.

QUOTE(Ndgt10 @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 05:19 PM) Pods likes groundballs to the 2B Iguchi with another backwards K Those 2 have both really been off lately.

19 pitch first inning, mainly due to Granderson. All right Offense, let's take care of business early and make this easy for everyone.

Come on Jon, work around it.
