The Ginger Kid

Weird, but this is still doable. Didn't Detroit have a 3 game lead with 4 to play a few years ago?

fitting

We don't get to the last week in contention w/o Youk. Bet he lands back with Boston after they let Valentine go.

Won't it be nice to see guys like Myers gone?

The best news is that the Bears defense is better than I thought it would be.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 27, 2012 -> 08:09 PM) There better be some big changes. If Ventura's going to be around a while, the bench coach position needs to be dramatically improved. Ventura's making decisions like someone who is completely overwhelmed by the moment. Disagree. I think he's done a tremendous job getting this far with a bullpen of rookies. Sure he made his mistakes, but to compete for the division until the last week of the season? I don't know how you can be hard on the guy. It's not like he was handed the keys to the Yankees.

too predictable.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 27, 2012 -> 08:03 PM) Its like we are pulling every trick in the bag of choke tricks. Not touching the base. Christ. Well you can tell he came through our minor leagues. Fundamentals I tell you. You doubt the great Buddy Bell?

and just in case you didn't think it could get any worse/embarrassing/humiliating/frustrating/laughable

that's the dweezy we all used to know

Rays fans must be PISSED

Let's get a lead

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 27, 2012 -> 07:41 PM) Everyone seems to be swinging at the first pitch for the Sox once there's RISP AJ's a pretty cool customer in clutch situations but you saw how hard he was pressing. They're all trying to do too much.

it's ridiculous to let Jake go this deep. It's almost a concession.

I've run out of ways to describe my disgust with our offense. Wish Walker were still around so I could start blaming him again.

I like DJ and I like Ed, but I don't like them as a team. Ed needs to be doing color. Thought he was just fine with Rooney. THAT was a loss.

there's a serious lack of leadership on this team

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 27, 2012 -> 06:50 PM) Holy s***, you can't make up how.awful this team is. that's what I was thinking.

QUOTE (daggins @ Sep 27, 2012 -> 06:28 PM) I would not call Alexei's season mediocre. Disastrous might be more appropriate. Like Beckham, his defense is what makes me hesitate to see him go away

this f***ing team.

CORRECTION: A.J. dinger coming in t-minus 3, 2, 1...

CORRECTION, Rios dinger coming in t-minus 3, 2, 1...

Paulie dinger coming in t-minus 3, 2, 1...

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Sep 27, 2012 -> 06:11 PM) Nope. Rays have been very hot/cold

I like Jobu as a pitch man for All-State
