Happy B-day Nuke

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 11:23 AM) Let's see here. We cannot win at home anymore. We can't win at Fenway. We can't beat Oakland. Vlad and K-rod are now healthy for Anaheim. Kenny will not find us another big bat. Um yeah...I really like our chances. I am now the official king of pessimism. Lets see here. We are awesome on the road. We have the best record in the AL. Our pitching staff is dominate we lead are division by 11 games and our offense is bound to break out of the slump. Next time think of the glass half full instead of half empty and quit worrying there is nothing you can do. Just enjoy the great season were having.

You have really thought this out juggernaut

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 12:07 PM) But this is a unique trade scenario you are proposing, which isnt covered on those 3 tenets. If a trade is agreed upon during the waiver period, you would think that even if the players are moved at a later date, that they would be subject to a waiver period, because of the date that the trade was agreed upon. I like your idea, and I wish it would happen, but you would think the MLB CBA would prevent teams from doing such a thing. They agree to the august trade in august say nothing about the other one the agree to the other one after the waiver period its 2 separate deals preety much that when combined equals out.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 11:31 AM) Smart Sox fans, the ones who don't waste their lives on the Internet, understand that four terrific months don't win a pennant. Im offended. This just proves that jay does read soxtalk. Shut up Kotex boy were the smart ones.

That was the only good thing tonight it be huge if he can continue to pitch like this in big situations.

QUOTE(wsox08 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 08:47 PM) How's this look? Hermy s*** that gives me like a f***ing seizure.

QUOTE(CubsSuck1 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 11:41 PM) :fyou Im already pissed off enough and rembering this makes it worse

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.

THIS f***ING BLOWS

Konerko is the only one doing good

This blows i wasted 5 hours to see adkins f*** up. If i were ozzie i woulda went straight to buehrle after jenks if he goes 1-2 innings id pitch him friday 3-4 saturday anything more id give him full rest.

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

Jeez woudnt it be awesome if anderson walks off in his first career game?

This deal is dead notice there has been 2 post on this site about it in the past 3 hours.
