QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 20, 2006 -> 02:09 PM) We have Vazquez going one night, and Santana going the next game. We're in a massive hole to start the series already. Everytime Javy starts we're already in a hole.....Johan just makes the hole a helluva a lot deeper. I love being depressed every 5th day...

God dammit. This is why we HAD to win game 1. We really are fortunate that we didn't get swept this series...

Game....Set...match? Is Detroit still losing?bbb

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 20, 2006 -> 01:50 PM) Or PK for that matter? These guys need to get itgoing if were going to make the playoffs I agree. Besides Konerko's homer of Mariano we haven't seen much. We are facing Johan today though.....I'd be thrilled if we could somehow scratch and claw for 3 more runs...

Great start to this inning...we're already 3 runs down against Johan. Take him out Ozzie. I can't wait until Vazquez is gone....unfortunately I might have to wait for a year or two...

Fantastic. Only a 1 game lead on the Twins after tonight. Damn we better kick the s*** outta the kittens or we could be in trouble.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 20, 2006 -> 01:36 PM) If he was in Vazquez's spot in the rotation and the team scored as many runs as they have for Javy, McCarthy would have to be really awful to be under .500. I think in 10 of Vazquez's 11 victories the Sox have scored 8 or more runs, and they have scored a lot of runs in 3 or 4 of his other starts. The problem I see is with how Ozzie uses him, this really is a lost season for him. He's not learning anything. Next season he will be just as green as he was this season. I agree. We are throwing away games with Vazquez out there...he's horrendous. Having McCarthy in the bullpen is just wasting talent.

Wow talk about being in a s***ty place....we either hit off Santana, or we make him throw more pitches...and try to hit off the Twins bullpen....either way it's not gonna be easy...

Josh Rupe is pitching for the Rangers....so far has thrown 2 1/3 scoreless innings with 1 K...

QUOTE(iguchi=dank @ Aug 20, 2006 -> 12:33 PM) twins tv. liriano has full range in shoulder. will throw from flat ground on tuesday. Hope this is a cub like report hoping for early sept. Not what I wanted to hear.... Wouldn't it just be fantastic if we had to face Johan, Radke, and Liriano in those last 3 games of the season, and win 2 out of 3 to get in the post-season?

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Aug 19, 2006 -> 11:27 AM) It was fun last week thinking we had halfway decent pitching. This whole pitching staff needs to be rebuilt in the off-season. Look for the staff to look something like this: Contreras Buehrle Garland Vazquez McCarthy Hopefully Kenny will give up on the Vazquez expiriment, and we can get a proven young starter for Freddy, if not look for prospects....

QUOTE(brijames @ Aug 18, 2006 -> 11:42 PM) Whats the comment about AJ and Sandy Alomar Jr having a confrontation in the clubhouse referring to? Great....if this happened we're f***ed. This team is coming apart, not coming together....

Wow... Hey you f***in pothead. Get your s*** together. You've been a piece of s*** all year. I'm embarrassed to own a Garcia jersey after comments like that....

We need to go with our 4 guys that won it all for us last year. Javy Vazquez can stay in the bullpen.....

If only Podsednik could bunt like that.....

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 12:42 PM) Get McCarthy up in the pen. You know just as well as I do that no one will be warming up in the pen until the 4th or 5th. It's ridiculous...

I just get angry looking at this Royals Line-up...most of these guys don't even deserve to be in the big leagues, let alone starting.... Then there's their rotation.....I won't even go there.

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 12:24 PM) Ive had a serious love/hate relasonhip with the sox this year It was like this pre-2005 too, in 2003 and 2004, and I remember those only because they were recent... All offense, no pitching. Unfortunately that's the name of the game...

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 12:22 PM) this game is gonna be ugly It can't be any uglier or more pathetic than yesterday. If this team loses 3 of 4 to the Royals, Ozzie better rip our whole team new assholes. It's embarassing that we're trying to salvage a split....

Nice Mark.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 16, 2006 -> 10:57 PM) Pods on the game tonight. Well the ball didnt bounce our way tonight. Pods catch the f***ing ball, dont worry about it bouncing. Just catch it. Bulls***. I'm sick of Podsednik. I'm sick of Mackowiak not knowing how to judge line drives off the bats, he's not a centerfielder Oz, stop putting him there. I'm sick of watching 3 pitch at bats, and the thing that pissed me off was when a Royals runner scored from 1st in the 8th off of a double, in which I felt had no business in scoring. (I was in the upper deck? Was Ross even busting his ass to get to the ball?) We better f***ing win tomorrow.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 10:02 AM) This is the only objection I have in dumping Pods. We still need a lead off man, and there are not many open positions to plug a lead off man in to. If Fields or Sweeney became the starting LF next year, out best lead off options might be Brian Anderson or Juan Uribe (gulp). Unless Kenny deals Uribe and signs a shortstop like Julio Lugo, who if I'm not mistaken is a free agent....

Brian Anderson without a doubt, just because we have no back-up centerfielder. Cintron is okay at short.....I can't wait til Juanny is healthy though.

Just win.

Eric Cooper is one of the worst umpires in the Majors, he's missed so many calls whenever he umpires our games. Hunter Wendelstadt and Bruce Froemming are pretty bad too, and we all know about "WHAT ARE YOU DOING BRIAN GORMAN?! ARE YOU NUTS?!" I really dislike Eric Cooper, he is a total douche.
