IS third in the majors in BA since August 1st. Correction. I think hes 3rd among active players in BA in August, my bad.

Wsc, Ive always liked you. You just try too hard. Just let it go and be yourself.

No slack. Either hes a prime time pitcher or he isnt. No more getting shelled by the likes of the tigers. Not this season. Its do or die in each and every game. We need his focus. I will remember Colon and MB this year by how they perform in September. Same with Garland. Theyre all better than .500 pitchers. Now prove it. I might add, I am a big fan of all 3.

Koch.

LOL, ok but i dont think I bashed him in this thread. We just need him to step up in September.

Im going to tell you one more time. If you ask again im not answering or responding to you. STOP caring what people think. Stop worrying about who responds. Stop calling people names. Stop posting sick crap.

Thanks, sweetie.

WOAH!!!!!!!!!!! Intelligence exists!! woooohooooooooooo.

The easiest way to gain acceptance is just be real. It isnt something you can try to do.

PERFECT example, lol omg.

Its called pyschology. CHeck into it. last time i checked, when employees are happy, they perform better. You should check into management. What would you have JM and KW do, take a team vote before they make a decision? Believe me, if JM stood in front of reporters and said that yeah, it was a s***ty decision, but that's what my players wanted, he'd be crucified. Unless you feel that he should do what his players want him to do, and then when it blows up, take full responsibility. A baseball team, like any workplace, is not a democracy. "Hey guys, do you think I should call for a hit and run here, a bunt, or just swing away? I wouldn't want to make a call that makes you unhappy." LOL uh ok, its only what i do for a living, but thanks for the advice. Really? I'm surprised. So, that's what you do? "Jim is always late and never gets his work done on time. But...he's a pretty popular guy, so we'd better keep him around. No, wait...let's take a poll first before we make a decision." I'm not talking about imposing a 9 pm curfew, but management can't be worried about upsetting the staff with every decision, especially something as silly as not shuffling the rotation. To blame management for Mark Buerhle giving up 5 runs in the first 2 innings is ludicrous and/or scapegoating. If I am running the sox, and im in a pennant race, and MB walks up to me and says I WANT THE BALL on the road in New york, against one of the best teams in the modern era, I give it to him. WHat Jerry did was VERY de-motivating, and i totally understand why the team is upset. Youre right, MB should still have had the balls to step up and beat the Tiggers. No one person is to blame, but Jerry isnt a very good manager. Thats just one of many examples.

Nah, whats hes seeking is acceptance.

I just TOLD YOU.

Exactly. Wsc, PLEASE do yourself a favor. Stop caring what people think. Stop trying to get people to like you. Stop worrying about who replies to your posts. JUST POST YOUR THOUGHTS, and forget the rest.

YUCK!!! No thanks.

It looks like someone else is really seeking some attention, too. Dude stop being a dick. IF you dont like his posts, dont read them.

Okay apparently youre really slow. The thread was very clear, but for slow people, i like to repeat myself. Ill even space the words out for ya. IF THE SOX GET SWEPT IN DETROIT THE SEASON IS OVVVVVVVVVVVVER. Was the clear enough for ya? Do yourself a favor, get your eye glasses, go over to espn.com, go to baseball, go to scores, and check out the sox game yesterday. YIPPIE, they woooooooooooon. IS it all clear for ya now? Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeat.

But it isnt a place where you can be yourself without someone saying stop acting black? Hypocrite.

Uh we won? Dumbass. Why make yourself look like a fool? Oh wait, cuz youre good at it.

Okay its time. These two pitchers are said to be #1 type starters. Well i agree with that but its time for both of them to step up and step up BIG TIME. Both pitchers hover around the .500 mark. That is UNACCEPTABLE. I know Mb has come a long way, but so what. Going into September we need HUGE months out of both of these guys. If they both pitch as they are capable, the division is ours.

Have you actually looked forward? 3-3 isnt going to cut it. Today is another MUST win.

Ummmm isnt he hitting like .240? Thanks, that proves my point.
