QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 18, 2006 -> 09:13 PM) Good play by Bartlett. We're in a lot of trouble. Gardenhire sure does put his bullpen in a great position to succeed. Which is one of the main reasons their numbers are so good.

Despite the stats, I just can't buy that Thome is clutch.

Right down main street.

Well, he faced 4 righties and 1 lefty. He got all 4 righties out, and the 1 lefty got on base. It's too bad the stats say that never happens, or else Ozzie would've pinch hit a few times.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 18, 2006 -> 09:04 PM) He has absolutely no sense of urgency. He hasn't this entire year, and it doesn't look like he's ever going to. I think he realizes he has a cushion because of last year.

I will say it again. Every returning pitcher on this team is a shell of his former self. We got really lucky with a whole bunch of fluke seasons last year.

I am so thoroughly convinced that Ozzie cares more about his starters' individual stats than he does about the team winning.

hahahahahahaha Ozzie is such a terrific manager

Juan really looked like he had a chance there. I'm extremely surprised by the results. /sarcasm, as if it's necessary

Crede's basically a walking double play opportunity right now, jeez.

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyy tied

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 18, 2006 -> 08:37 PM) Don't forget tinkering There's a whole lot of similarities that I didn't mention. It was done in haste.

Bad starting pitching, homer-heavy offense, looking like crap against the Twins, playing down to weak opponents, bad managing. With every passing game, it feels more like 2001-2004.

How is our rotation so bad this year? Let's face it, our best starter has only been decent to good this year. The rest have pretty much sucked.

How long before 300 lb. catchers start stealing on Garcia?

Lead = gone

Man, f*** our rotation. They are the reason for 95% of our failures this year. f*** them, they're soooooo overrated.

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH

If Crede didn't beat out that throw, I would've been extremely angry.

If Boston doesn't make the playoffs, I wonder if Dye has a real shot at the MVP.

3E8, that avatar is hilarious.

M-V-P M-V-P M-V-P

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 18, 2006 -> 08:01 PM) That division was over the day of the trade deadline. I can't believe anyone thought that trade wouldn't be a difference maker.

Well, this is discouraging.

We could use a patented Juan Uribe hot streak right about now.
