Milkman delivers

I like the Fall, and you can all just kiss my ass.

And who was with JimH? Why it was Juggernaut, Jabroni, and Redandwhite. As they yelled for the others to stop, everyone ignored them.

It's to the point where I think even his own teammates hate Vazquez. I wouldn't be surprised if his own family, his children, disliked him. I wish nothing but horrible things for that man.

This game will be so much less stressful watching from my bed. I'm totally doing that. Good luck everyone, and try not to get ulcers.

Ah, we don't deserve to win this if we can't make contact on a hit and run.

Uribe swinging for the fences. I hope we don't resort to that for the remainder of this game.

QUOTE (RME JICO @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 03:50 PM) I just don't understand how a guy can go from unhittable to a batting practice pitcher from hitter to hitter like Vazquez. That kills me about him. How can you strikeout 200 batters and have an ERA close to 5.00? There is only 1 other pitcher (Burnett) in the bigs with +200 Ks and an ERA over 3.50. Because he is a loser, plain and simple.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 03:44 PM) .860 OPS or away from Safeco though. Oh and Brian, Perez is a FA this off-season, and will get a pretty lucrative deal. If he leaves the Mets, then Vazquez to them is a definite possibility. If Vazquez actually only gave up 4ER over 6 innings here, is that a decent enough outing? At least he's given us a chance to win I guess. No, not at all, especially since he gave up all of those runs immediately after we scored ours. It took away all of our momentum.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 03:40 PM) Im watching the game where Bartlett hit a weak grounder to third for a single. Im watching the game where the Rays went to sacrifice on the next pitch but instead Maddon out manages Ozzie and has Iwamura swinging. Im watching the game where the Sox continue to pitch to Longoria with 2 outs. Could Javy done better? Sure. But the facts are in this case he is not being put in a position to succeed. Outside of what 3 hits no one on the Rays has even come close to hitting the ball hard? God, someone is still defending this pussy? What is wrong with you?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 03:27 PM) Now would you go that far? If his plane home crashes after the season, I'll have to really work at it to feel bad. I swear I wouldn't feel bad. I hate this man more than anyone I ever knew.

f*** JAVIER VAZQUEZ MOTHERf***ER I WISH I COULD PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE

There are no words to describe my hatred for Javier Vazquez. If terrible, terrible things were to befall him, I would smile.

Why is nobody in there?

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 07:35 PM) anderson could've easily uncorked one of those airmail throws to the backstop that we've seen him toss. you act as if his arm strikes fear into opposing teams. Anderson is a legend...on soxtalk. He would've thrown the ball home in order to stop Cuddyer from advancing to 3rd from 2nd earlier in the inning? My point was that Cuddyer wouldn't have advance to 3rd base on the fly out earlier in the inning.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 07:58 PM) Ah, I forgot about that. Let's instead say, his biggest start with the Sox. That'll due. Let's just hope those two starts turn out very differently.

They wouldn't have sent him, as Cuddyer wouldn't have moved into 3rd base on Anderson, as he did with Griffey. And I completely agree with IlliniKrush.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 10:45 AM) Has to be done. This is Vazquez' biggest career game, right here. Let's see you show that talent when it matters most, Javy. I would have to say his start in the 2004 ALCS was much, much bigger.

Wow, I think people are really taking this guy's post out of context.

I hate Vazquez more than anyone on this site, and he IS undeniably a terrible big-game pitcher, but this move sort of has to be made. The 2004 playoffs really stick in my head, though.

QUOTE (PlunketChris @ Sep 30, 2008 -> 10:39 PM) Javy in game one. f***. No. Please be kidding. Pleeeeeeeeeease be kidding.

QUOTE (Dan @ Sep 30, 2008 -> 10:19 PM) this thread does not deliver He's right, and I would know. As I said in the winner thread, Ozzie really managed a great game today (and the last few days). And I think it's pretty obvious that the guy who started this thread was only asking that Ozzie not call out opponents because Blackburn pitched a very solid game against us after being called out.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 30, 2008 -> 09:54 PM) I think we saw a boy become a man tonight. YES! Helluva game, Danksy! I know you meant this as a congratulations to Danks, but he's been our best pitcher this entire year. He was a man long before tonight. I love John Danks.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Sep 30, 2008 -> 05:02 PM) Minny at home: 53-28 Sox at home: 53-28 Minny on the road: 35-46 Sox on the road: 35-46 The Sox are just as much of a garbage team on the road as the Twins are, although the Sox are 31-30 on the road when not playing in a dome. When playing in TB, MIN, and TOR the Sox are 4-16. Those numbers do show a disadvantage for the Sox, but then again that disadvantage would be very small considering the quality of competition. TB might be the best team in baseball (what would the Angels' record look like if they didn't get all that ALW padding?), the Twins are a playoff contender, and Toronto for most of the season had an excellent pitching staff. I'd say overall the dome disadvantage is overblown and the results of our playing in domes mainly show that we've faced top competition and our team isn't all that great. Kind of went off track there but whatever. Playing at home is a huge advantage for us though, especially against Blackburn who really isn't all that good. PS I had a dream Danks went 8 innings today giving up just one run. I hope I'm psychic. I'm glad you aren't. Damn close, though

I want to congratulate Ozzie on a very well managed game.

Oh man, I'm shaking! Danks (our ace, as I've said), Jenks, AJ, Thome, Griffey, and Anderon. I love seeing Thome and Griffey step up to get themselves into the playoffs maybe one last time.
