CYGarland

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 05:41 PM) Can anyone give me an update on whether or not they're getting ready for baseball in KC? Tarp still on, etc.? Still delayed, but not sure for how long.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 03:19 PM) Pods, LF Iguchi, 2B PK, 1B Everett, DH Rowand, CF Dye, RF AJ, C Uribe, SS Crede, 3B Contreras, RHP. I'm liking Paulie #3 I really like PK batting 3rd, but I'd like Dye hitting fourth instead. Here would be my lineup.......Pods, Iguchi, Pk, Dye, Everett, Rowand, AJ, Uribe, Crede.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 12:41 PM) I'd much rather save Garcia and Buehrle for road games, assuming the Sox have home field IF they make it. Garcia at home in October doesn't worry me.

Here's my playoff rotation..........Garcia, Buehrle, Garland, Contreras............... If that can't get it done, then we don't deserve to be there.

Freddy. He's proven to be a big game pitcher, plus he has postseason experience.

That's it for me guys. I DEFINITELY need a few days off from this team. Hopefully they can MIRACULOUSLY make a comeback here, but I can't watch this s*** right now.

Hey Juan, you don't need to swing for the fences when we just need baserunners right now!!

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 01:53 PM) The Indians have maintained basically the same lineup for about the last two months, and have developed tremendous offensive chemistry. We keep mixing and matching our lineup around, but the talent level is still well below average. Yeah, it's hard to turn a Hyundai into a Lexus. This offense is mediocre w/ all its components in there, and below average when a starter sits.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 01:51 PM) I actually had faith A.J. would come through.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 01:49 PM) This team absolutely sucks right now. And I thought August was over. It doesn't get much worse than this.

We suck

If this run scores.......GAME OVA!!

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 01:35 PM) What good team doesn't do that us? Detroit?? KC???

Nice to see the Angels are b**** slapping us in our own park this series :puke

Here's another opportunity guys. We HAVE to cash in here

QUOTE(ottawa_sox @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 01:29 PM) If the point of resting players was solely to 'recharge the batteries', it did seem to be excessive coddling. What you may be failing to take into account is the psyche of the rest of the players. Making the bench an essential component of the team only serves to strengthen the greater whole. Were basically a .500 team in the 2nd half. I would say resting the players didn't help too much.

I think Duque may have just lost his spot in the rotation for the rest of the year.

QUOTE(ottawa_sox @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 01:21 PM) I didn't like seeing the 'B' team either. But resting people may have been a contributing factor to this team somehow having the best record in baseball as of a week ago. He rested players TOO much. Even when there was a day off the next day.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 01:13 PM) Kw does not make out the line ups. Ozzie is sending the B-team out every other game. Ozzie is the fall guy. Manger of the year to unemployment in 2 months?? I totally agree. How many games this year did we concede w/ those lineups?? I say at least 4 or 5. Which if we had won would have given us a 10.5 game lead right now.......... Obviously hindsight is 20/20. But it does make you think

I think we need to ride McCArthy's hot streak out. He may be our savior in the playoffs at this rate.

Well at least Oakland is losing 5-2

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 01:05 PM) Ever since the players b****ed about the attendance, they've played like crap. It's safe to say that the Tigers pitching made our hitting look good, and not the other way around. Is it me or do the Sox play like s*** when it's hot out?? It might not take a genius to figure this out, but we get pounded in Texas, were getting pounded this weekend. And in August..........Well i don't have to remind you guys of that.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 01:05 PM) Williams should not be the scapegoat. He constructed this team as best as he could. Ozzie should take the fall. I agree. Oz is definitely the fall guy here.

Meanwhile, Lackey is starting to cruise :sleep

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 12:57 PM) No argument here. But I must admit, I would never feel the same about White Sox baseball again. It would be hard for me to even get up for 06. I don't think i'm alone in that. But, hopefully, it won't come to that and we win this thing. Don't worry about 06. KW will make changes for the better if this team fails in the playoffs................trust me
