QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 12:50 AM) Shoulda, coulda........There was absolutely no guarantee that we would have won on Sunday. We need to stop making excuses, and just win some f***ing games. Buehrle needs to step up tomorrow, and pretend like he needs to throw a shut-out to win. No reason to pretend he HAS to.

Had they played sundays game and won I think that would have been huge on confidence and this woudnt be so bad right now we might have actually won yesterday or today.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 12:38 AM) There is nothing wrong with entering your 16th inning and finally using the last man in the pen. Think about the Indians fiasco early in the year when Viz got hung out to dry because no one else was available. That was mis-managing your pen. I really can't complain about the way Ozzie did it tonight. He was managing for the win in the 8th inning and played the matchups. Personally I'm not a big proponent of the whole righty lefty crap cause I think when a guy is looking good you go with him. Marte was looking good tonight and I'd of just left him in. But thtas not what Ozzie's done and quite frankly you can't argue with the results (1st place, best record in the AL). And in the 8th inning while your winning your damn right your gonna manage whatever way you see best. At that point your not thinking of a 16 inning game cause 99% of the time the game will finish in regulation or at worse go an extra inning or two and the best way to win that game in the next couple innings is by going with your best guys, even if it is for a shorter period of time. In short, you'll win a lot more games managing as if it were going 9 than you would if you always managed with the thought the game is going to go 16 innings. Thats basically what I said except much longer and more thought out.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 12:38 AM) This "who cares" attitude needs to stop. Our postseason position is not guaranteed. Before you know it, we'll be saying "oh well" when our lead is trimmed to 8 games. Then 5 games. We need improvements on this club immediately. This offense is terrible. Can't score in 9 innings off Minnesotas bullpen how do you expect to fare off Anaheim's? Or Oaklands? -- What can we do Tizzle? We're in a skid. But I ain't jumping ship. GO SOX! Umm the twins bullpen is just as good if not better then the angels and A's

QUOTE(wsox08 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 12:34 AM) but playing the "matchups" every game is good? If you are a pitcher in the major leagues you should be able to pitch to lefties and righties... You get paid for it and do it... It's unbelieveable how little the relief pitchers actually do in a ballgame Marte pitched 2/3 Politte 1/3 had we went into the ninth tied politte would have pitched the entire ninth. edit: and marte is horrible agaist righties.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 12:33 AM) Nope, but he could stop protecting Cotts so much. He hasn't allowed a run in like 17 outings. Let him go 2 innings once in a while, he has the ability to do that. Adkins shouldn't be on the team because he showed no ability to get minor league hitters out, so why would we think he could get major league hitting out? I don't know what games Ozzie and KW have been watching, but we don't have very many blow-outs for or against us. I do agree with the cotts statement i would have pitched him untill the 12th. He was a starter at 1 point in his career he has the staminia to go 3 innings I mean Jenks did and he is throwing 97-99mph.

QUOTE(wsox08 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 12:29 AM) We can't blame all of this on Adkins.... OZZIE still does not know how to manage a f***ing bullpen.... Why go by the stupid ass matchup? Politte for 1/3 and Marte for 2/3 of an inning.. Unbelieveable... He could have saved them like the Twins did... He did the same f***ing thing in KC earlier this year and it ended with the same outcome OF COURSE>>> Send Ozzie to the minors and teach him how to manage a bullpen.. Ozzie cant manage the bullpen everygame like its going to go into 16 innings that only happens once every 5-10 years.

The owner of the A's would be stupid to build this in oakland if i were him i would have already moved the team.

QUOTE(Benchwarmerjim @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 09:49 PM) Is this the part of the game where the Sox batters swing for the fences until they get a home run? Thats every inning

Konerko would have to be because he has been here the longest except frank but he isnt playing.
