CYGarland

Another runner at 3rd stranded with less than 2 outs, keep em down Jon

QUOTE(SadChiSoxFanOptimist @ Jul 5, 2006 -> 05:45 PM) Looks like Garland is dealing -- throwing strikes! He definitely looks more like the pitcher he was last year so far.

Cabrera looked like a totally different pitcher that inning, i hope we didnt let him off the hook in the 1st. Keep it going Jon!

Cant wait to here what OZ and Mark have to say after this one.........

I know this hasbeen said repeatedly throughout this thread, but IMO this may be the worst managed game by Oz yet

Mack trying to hit a 3run homer here, when a base hit will do

Sure would have been nice to have Thome available off the bench right now

I think we may have just seen the last of Politte now

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 01:56 PM) When? Ummmm, just a few days ago

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 01:56 PM) Ozzie obviously has no interest in winning this game. And yet he used up Riske in the 6th when we were down by 6, instead of using Politte then

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 01:53 PM) Detriot with a very unimpressive series vs. the Bucs. You could say the same about us. We could have easily lost 2 of 3 from them

And Castillo strikes out against Jones

And what do you know, Pods K's looking again

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 01:42 PM) Uh, it would take a lot to get Hernandez. Do you know how many people want decent relief guys? People will be overpaying out the wazoo to get even mediocre relief. IMO we need either a RH setup man or a CF. It's pretty obvious none of our starters are going anywhere, especially with their salaries, plus I'm fairly confident they will turn it around in the 2nd half. We all know how aggressive KW is, so i expext to see some sort of move before the deadline

Too bad Crede couldnt have done that last inning. 13-9 now

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 01:36 PM) What did you see in Pitt that makes you want Hernandez???? He's still got great stuff and a good era, and closed for MANY years so he's been there. And Giving up a homer to Thome does not exactly worry me, Lots of guys are going to do that. Plus Riske and Bmac worry me a bit in that role.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 01:32 PM) Well we aren't going to get anyone that is definitely going to be better. Bmac should be our Long guy, especially the way our starters have been going this year, and we sure could have used him today in that role. Riske should be our 6th and 7th inning guy, and i wouldnt mind seeing Roberto Hernandez be our RH setup man with Cotts as our LH, but that's just my opinion.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 01:29 PM) Bmac and Riske are our main two setup men. not reliable enough IMO

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 01:27 PM) I've seen enough! Angel f***ing Pagan? Politte is done! Kenny needs to get us another reliever. ASAP! A RH setup man is a must

Now Crede's at 3b after Cintron bats. Not smart managing today by Oz

Huge opportunity, BLOWN

AB of the game right here

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 01:16 PM) I have to say I'm absolutely disgusted with Buehrle. I don't give a f*** about wind conditions or merely a bad day with location. You score 6 runs off Zambrano, more often than not, you expect to win. Zambrano is pitching to one of the best offensive teams in the league whereas Buehrle's pitching to the worst. I don't expect 11 runs on the board. I'm going to bring it up only once, but when people criticize me for putting Liriano and Santana in a league above Contreras and Buehrle these are prime examples. Neither pitcher would EVER give up 11 run....EVER. Regardless of conditions. f*** SANTANA AND LIRIANO!!

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 01:13 PM) He can sure play first base, maybe they'll leave him in. with PK hitting here Oz should leave him in there at 1st, so he will get a chance to hit again, and hopefully with the game on the line

Glad to see Thome hit a HR there, but why notwait to use him when we have runners on base?
