The Ginger Kid

I thought I read that he opted to go back to Arizona and continue working out and that possibly he would come on board when rosters expand. The trouble is that he's not able to go more than an inning, at least that's what I read.

Keep it close, Jon. We own Rivera. Bats come alive!

gooch goes yard to rf

I'm sitting in an office in LA and at the bar next door a Journey knock-off band is blaring. Is this a sign?

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 8, 2006 -> 07:35 PM) Unbelievable. This team is so bad. shockingly bad, when you think about it. Lots of talent, at least enough not to be playing this consistently bad for a month.

got a break. that throw was up the line. and here comes Neal Cotts boys and girls. Self flagellation to begin in t-minus 90 seconds...

ok. not so much

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 8, 2006 -> 07:29 PM) In 2005, I'd have been shocked if we didn't. In 2006, I'll be shocked if we do. August was cruel. It owes us.

I think we're actually going to escape this jam, I really do.

QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 8, 2006 -> 07:10 PM) This home ump has been squeezing NY. what is that guy licking in your avatar?

didn't even get him over

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Aug 8, 2006 -> 07:07 PM) Brian Anderson Oh, this makes the entire night so much better! that's when you know it's going bad. A rookie hitting .215 makes me happy.

Freddy's pitching great now. My fear is that Ozzie will be reluctant to yank him when it's time.

QUOTE(soxyess @ Aug 8, 2006 -> 06:38 PM) Gooch might also be gone next year welcome

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Aug 8, 2006 -> 06:37 PM) Im no blind homer, but I refuse to give in!!! something about being in the heat of the WC race keeps me hopeful. Guess I'm just funny like that.

gooch is hitting .120 in August. Not good.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 8, 2006 -> 06:26 PM) BRIAN ANDERSON CAN'T HIT RIGHTIES! MACKOWIAK OFFENSE SPECTACULAR!!! remember when ozzie used to preach pitching and defense first?

George of the Jungle 2. Classic film. Was that Polanski?

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 8, 2006 -> 06:15 PM) Isn't a pitcher saying that velocity doesn't matter like a guy who believes a girl that size doesn't matter? wait...you mean they're lying?

this team is stuck in the worst case scenario mode.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Aug 8, 2006 -> 06:01 PM) The Sox are sure working that Wang out It would feel good to beat Wang

This team is showing a lot of signs of frustration. Lots of bats getting flipped. Quick Ozzie, turn up the music!

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 8, 2006 -> 05:58 PM) How confident to you feel with Freddy facing the Tigers and Twins in his next 2 starts? The Tigers will fade and the Twins have no pitching.

Glad to see Freddy's pissed off at himself for a change and not the guys playing behind him.

wait...did freddy just hit 90 on the gun?
