CYGarland

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 11:17 AM) Robertson is making our guys look stupid up there. He's really working quickly, throwing strikes and than making good 2 strike pitches. Besides Dye, everyone has looked bad so far

NICE DP

Pk whiffs on an inside heater. Is it me or has PK's bat speed fell off a bit of late?

Dye must LOOOVE batting 3rd

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 08:00 PM) I'd love to see this lineup if Thome is out: Mackowiak LF Iguchi 2B Dye RF PK Dh Crede 3B Gload 1B AJP C Uribe SS Anderson CF I have a feeling the lineup will look something like this................................................... Pods, Iguchi, Dye, PK, AJ, Crede, Gload, Uribe, Anderson.....

Let the ranting begin!

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 06:33 PM) Cause we're facing Todd Jones. We also faced Bonser, Hernandez, and Bernero last week, and couldn't do s*** off them ............................... Cant wait to hear the PGS tonite, should be a good one

And I thought Friday and yesterday's game were bad, this was worse....

QUOTE(cgaudin @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 06:17 PM) Our pitching is no longer a "concern". It is a bonafide disaster and KW and Ozzie need to go into emergency mode. They can no longer afford to "wait" for the pitching to "come around" 'cause it ain't gonna happen. It is what it is, and Ozzie needs to shift his managing philosophy with that in mind. I think even though he's only got a 4th grade education, Ozzie has a pretty stout baseball IQ and he will understand that the hook needs to be applied swiftly at first sign of trouble. This season really makes me appreciate last year even more. A bunch of rag-tag scappers somehow found a way, while this team full of All-Stars is barely cuttin' the mustard. Baseball's a funny game. I love it! This team isn't much different than last year, unfortunately the starters all decided to take this year off.

Blah

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 06:11 PM) Leyland goes for the throat here. He goes with Zumaya here. Just like using Nathan in a non save situation for the twinks. Now our manager likes to use hybrid lineups without using the starters. He likes to use our best reliever in the 6th inning of a blow out, and our crapiest reliever in the 8th of a tie game. Guillen has been about as inconsistent as the team's been this year. Maybe that's the problem

We need about 5 more of those

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 06:05 PM) Who would have ever thought Garland would be easily our best pitcher, and our bullpen would be the strongest part of our team on August 21st? It's unreal how bad our starters have been this year, compared to last. Coop's going to need a lifetime supply of alka seltzer after watching this garbage.....

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 06:02 PM) Then we're done. We're not gonna hit our way to the playoffs. Even if we do, will get knocked out in round 1. The pitching has to get better. The only way were going to win this thing, is if a couple of our starters get Hot, and the offense starts mashing again.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 05:57 PM) It has nothing to do with IT. Its to do with a mathmatical formula. Our hitters are trying to pull everything in sight for whatever reason. Our pitchers are throwing low and away, its almost like they are trying to pitch to our hitters. And with Mackowiak in CF do we really believe in D. Our young CF is hitting over 290 since what June, and he needs to rest like every 3rd day Basically, their not playing well. Nuff said

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 05:56 PM) They've got to carry us until these damn pitchers come around. There not going to come around, the offense is the only chance we have, and they better get it going FAST

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 05:51 PM) I wonder if A Mi Manera means chokes under pressure. I dont think their choking, they just don't have IT right now.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 05:41 PM) This team kills the '03 team top-to-bottom talent wise. Your right, but that was a dam good team, and we all know what happened there....

If Contreras keeps this s*** up, there's no way in hell were making the playoffs

No point in wasting Thornton now. Get McCarthy or Riske in there, and let's PRAY for a better game tomorrow

looks like the Tigers are having a good ole time...

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 05:38 PM) It will go down as one of the biggest chokes of all-time if a team with this level of talent can't get into the playoffs. Didn't that happen in 03 too?

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 05:36 PM) Does anyone still want to argue that we don't have the worst pitching of all the playoff contenders? It's not even close. Red Sox are pretty bad too

QUOTE(cgaudin @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 05:33 PM) Ain't much of a game. Too bad Jose didn't have his "A" game going. Man, I'm praying to God this isn't the start of what the Yankees did to the Dead Sox. I have no idea WTF I would do or say if that were to happen. What happened to the Red Sox was much worse. They were only 1 1/2 games outwhen that series started, and It was in Boston.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 05:32 PM) I do not like where this team is headed right now. Looks like their heading right into the dump....Our starting pitchers have lost velocity, and our power hitters cant hit Hr's.....This is bad
