Big Hurtin

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 10:28 PM) Paulie popping up and Everett striking out with men on was a huge flashback to our 3-4-5 hitters against Seattle in 2000. Come on, now you're just being negative.

Damn, people just don't get it. There are still over two months of baseball left to play before the playoffs. Being 10 games up doesn't mean anything. Talk to me after they play the Red Sox, Yankees, and Twins (who have been a second half team for years). Unfortuately, it will be past the trading deadline. Kenny doesn't want to upset chemistry. This team will fade and get bounced out of the playoffs if they still get in. All because they were content to be good, and afraid to be great.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 10:00 PM) They'll make the playoffs. Come September, when the games count, they will come around. Gimme an S, Gimme an O, Gimme an X, GO SOX. Rah rah sis boom bah. Everybody's counting their chickens well before they're hatched. This team has to show me they have the intestinal fortitude to play with the big boys. I, for one, am not convinced.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 09:59 PM) I really don't want Gload in RF. Konerko is swinging well now. Hopefully get Dye back tomorrow, Gload at 1B and DH Paulie. You haven't seen Ozzie put Timo at 1st base? I know Ross can't play the outfield now.

QUOTE(Ozzie Montana @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 09:53 PM) We better see Ozuna and Gload tomarrow Gload better call Jeff Gallooly to take care of Timo if he ever wants to have a chance to play.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 09:48 PM) Just wait untill someone uses the best record reasoning. We've now lost 7 of our last 9 games at home. Haven't you heard? A 10+ game lead in July guarantees a playoff spot.

That games was great. I can't wait until tomorrow when Contreras pitches. I hope that Kenny doesn't do anything to disrupt the chemisty.

QUOTE(Soxpranos @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 09:35 PM) man o man whre is Dye and Gload ! No hablan espanol.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 08:16 PM) No way. This game's far from over. We're going to score a good amount of runs this game. Dunn's a good topic of discussion though. 0 is NOT a good amount.

QUOTE(Pasqua's Mailman @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 08:01 PM) What on earth is Ortiz complaining about? He's ALWAYS complaining when he gets struck out.

That was Awesome!

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 07:37 PM) I hope this second base ump gets hit by a car tonight. I honestly would like him to be hit by a car. I bet if you lift up his pants he has red socks on.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 07:35 PM) Uh oh, lightning never strikes in the same place twice... I f***ING HATE STRETCH. I'm so close to muting the game just because of that call. I don't mind it when it's warranted. But I hate it when it doesn't even reach the warning track. :headshake

Not that I'm a proponent of violence, but I wonder how many left with less teeth than they came with.

QUOTE(CubKilla @ Jul 22, 2005 -> 12:51 AM) Contreras vs. Arroyo. Contreras should get the edge over Arroyo simply because we know Contreras can be dominant. Arroyo blows and will need a career start to be dominant to the point that we know Contreras can be. Boston owns Contreras. I'd put money on him not even getting the 5 innings.

I don't even care if they get swept, because come monday, they'll still have chemistry.

Sad thing is, Garland has to win tomorrow to avoid the sweep. I have ZERO confidence in El Duque and especially Contraras against that lineup. Hopefully Detroit can avoid getting swept by Minnesota.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jul 21, 2005 -> 11:37 AM) Uribe = 0 wives beaten Lugo = 1 wife beaten that may be the clincher Maybe he could beat up Ozzie's wife, Timo.

They should go back to the shorts. They were badass!

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 05:47 PM) I thought they were penis warmers... [napoleon dynamite] Lucky. [/napoleon dynamite]

Griffey's been with the Reds 5 years already? Wow, time sure flies.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 12:24 AM) BMac should be in AA. Damn, he's a drunk too.

Damn, have any of you that want him actually seen him this year? The guy throws straight fast balls and doesn't have the velocity anymore. Boston is at or near the bottom in bullpen ERA. Why would a team at the top want to add a team at the bottom's cast-offs?

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 11:48 PM) Look at last year's Freddy Garcia trade. We were all screaming about how Olivo/Morse/Reed was such a steep price and how Reed would be an All-Star type player and that Olivo will be a great catcher. Look how it turned out. Olivo got sent down. Reed has been good but not great. Morse has been hitting well I guess but to no success rate to the team. That's not fair to compare that deal. They didn't have the CHEMISTRY this team has.

I'll just say this, for all the people who say he's fine and a good number 4 starter, fine. Playoff winning teams do not have "number 4" starters. If he's still in the rotation come October, this team won't win anything. It's all about the ring, beating out Minnesota isn't enough IMO.
