The Ginger Kid

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 17, 2006 -> 02:34 PM) In about 5 days, we'll see that. How about the fact that Leyland shifted his rotation so Rogers would face the Sox? like it matters? He should be setting his rotation for the playoffs.

I'd like to see Ozzie clear the benches and give some of the young guys a look. His '06 squad is shhit. Might as well get a look at the future.

crede. nice.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 17, 2006 -> 02:28 PM) People forget how he cost us a run in Game 4 of the WS by getting faked out on a flyball with 2 outs in an inning. that was bad

why would anyone walk Thome? He sucks since July.

bad call - he was safe

i'm really happy for Frank. f*** it, I'll root for Oakland in the playoffs long before I'll root for the minny or detroit.

After tomorrow, we have ten games left before going to the dome. At the end of play last Sunday we trailed the Twins by 1.5, 2 in the loss column. If somehow we can actually win a game in Oakland tomorrow and Byrd outduels Baker in Cleveland, we'll be exactly 2.0 games out. Nothing gained, nothing lost in the loss column. Did anyone seriously expect them to gain ground during this west coast swing? Go home 3-3 with a taste of victory and handle Detroit and Seattle. Go 8-2 and hope the Twins go 6-4 and we go into the dome tied. 2 of 3 wins it. And for what it's worth, the absolutely beautiful thing is that the Sox could go 11-0 before reaching the dome. Will they? f*** no! But they could...

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 03:43 PM) This is laughable at best. So you take a guy who was throwing the ball around the strikezone. And you put in a guy who just came off some time off for a sore arm, and had an MRI. Then after he f***s up, you put in a rookie who hasnt thrown a strike in forever. Sure its all about the pitchers making pitches. our season hinges on the execution of pitches by boone logan, and Hermy. f***ing LOL Javy was lucky to get out of the 6th with the lead. It was wise to take him out. Not Ozzie's fault that Thornton walked the tying run into scoring position and Sweeney made a terrible decision in left. But if you want to excuse guys who are making millions for being afraid to throw strikes, be my guest.

QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 03:39 PM) im done. see you guys in 2007 can your avatar stick around?

QUOTE(GOD @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 03:38 PM) I just wish once someone in the Chicago media would have the balls to rip Ozzie. Every other day we lose a game b/c he doesn't know how to manage. Yeah, I wish Ozzie would start throwing strikes. Blow out on the way.

For the first time this season on the FOX Saturday game, west coast fans will get to watch the Sox. One game back going into tomorrow. We ain't dead yet. to the end, damnit!!

frank going to right is a beeeautiful thing.

how does he not get tossed?

I don't know if this has ever been brought up, but Scott Podsednick is not doing a very good job at the plate this season.

i hate to say it, but the twins are playing the best ball in the league right now

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 07:00 PM) Going to be loaded for Morneau I don't get this move. Is it just to get the force at 2nd?

cuddyer is nails

well...you had to figure minny was going to win anyway with Johan on the mound.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 06:54 PM) 2 on, no outs and Mauer is on deck. not good

kudos to cleveland, they're hanging tough

I got a bad feeling that little joey is going yard...

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 05:20 PM) And yet: 2006 Vs Sox: 64 AB | 13 R | 4 2B | 3 3B | 1 HR | 10 RBI | 5 SB/0 CS | .313/.408/.516/.924 2006 Vs Twins: 64 AB | 10 R | 9 2B | 0 3B | 1 HR | 7 RBI | 3 SB/0 CS | .328/.434/.516/.950 Nearly identical thanks for the research, but I was referring to the last series against us and this series against the twins...as Grady flies out with a runner on third.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 05:04 PM) Twins threatening in the 4th inning after an absolutely awful call at first base. what was the call? against Moroneau? glad to see they escaped with the lead. They're getting their hits against satan

I love how Sizemore kills us then tanks against the twins granderson sure has fallen. bases juiced and he grounds out.
