QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 07:25 PM) AJP has to be the stupidest f***ing player in baseball. Had a good first half when not attempting to pull everything. Now he sucks. You would think any idiot can spot the differences in his approach. One has to wonder what Greg Walker does on a daily basis.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 07:19 PM) Now I have a question, if Julian Taverez can start a game, why cant Bmac. That's exactly where I was getting at.

Is this Tavarez's first start this year?

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 07:12 PM) Bottom 4TH B:3 S:2 O:1 Manny Ramirez lines out, pitcher Jon Garland to first baseman Paul Konerko. Gameday does not make sense on that last out. I think he lined one off of Jon. Jon picked it up and tossed to Paulie.

Anyone ever see "Wonderland"? It's on IFC at 8:00. Wonder if it's a better option than watching this game.

This offense is a joke right now.

s***ty call right there. Looked inside.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 07:00 PM) Garland's looking pretty strong but already at 50 pitches or so. These bastards have a way of working the count. Too bad they don't take the AJP/Uribe approach.

I like that someone actually started a thread the other day saying how we will do really well against Boston, based on the pitching matchups. Since when did we start beating up on bad pitchers?

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 06:39 PM) When we get men in Scoring position and they still take that approach I will be happy. If they have their backsides pucker up, and they try to hit the highway on the other side of the monster then I wont. Fair enough. I agree.

Happy SSI?

QUOTE(BearSox @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 06:30 PM) I wish Gload would get more playing time at 1st and Mackowaik and Sweeney gwt more time in LF... But Ozzie needs to stick with his "boys." I disagree. Paulie is a better defender than Gload IMO.

Guess we can't count on Manny being rusty.

QUOTE(ssamaan1 @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 06:27 PM) I love HAWK and DJ. Excellent. Welcome aboard. Was Dye walking into the corner on that one? I'd like to see some urgency from our guys. Sheesh

QUOTE(BearSox @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 06:21 PM) seriously, does anyone think Thome is healthy yet? Hasn't looked good since that hammy injury. And yesterdays homerun wasn't that impressive. 4 HRs and 12 RBIs since the end of July.

Nice. Tavarez K's the side.

QUOTE(beautox @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 06:10 PM) "Pods Your So f***ing Hot, Score a Home Run" - 16 yr girl behind me at the Sox D-Rays game, when Delmon made his debut. Ozzie probably had her make the lineups that night.

Thank you Ozzie for sticking with Pods. Excellent choice.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 04:04 PM) Bobby Abreu/Corey Lidle helped the Yankees a whole lot. They gave up almost nothing for them either. Abreu in LF makes our team x1000 better.

3-3 vs 2 awful teams. Pathetic.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 04:00 PM) He has no idea how to manage these players. His inability to put guys like Garcia, Vazquez, Mackowiak, Thome, Anderson, and Gload in the best position to succeed is sickening. How many times will Mackowiak have to say "I suck in CF" before Ozzie gives up on that experiment? I'm sure he'll be out there again at Fenway.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 03:55 PM) I kinda hope we don't make the playoffs for a couple of reasons. This team doesn't deserve to make it to the playoffs. And if we do make the playoffs, it will give this organization an excuse not to make any major changes. I never thought I'd say it, but I wouldn't mind not having Thome on the team next year, and having more of a speed and contact oriented team. But that's not gonna happen. Fan of the year.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 03:54 PM) If they get rained out today, their rotation will be a little better in our series since they'll be able to pitch Beckett. I know he's sucked lately, but he's better than what we would have faced. We hit fastball pitchers better.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 03:46 PM) score? 7-3 now

Base hit up the middle. 2 runs score. Crappy throw to 3rd and the runner advances to 2nd.
