QUOTE(JackTalkThai @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 06:35 PM) I wasn't looking for sympathy. Not at all. I was looking for someone's rationalization? If there was one out there. No way to rationalize it. It always happens. The all star game manager brings as many of his boys as he can. It is just as messed up as the AL starting line up full of Yankees and Red Sox.

QUOTE(JackTalkThai @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 06:32 PM) Besides the fact that his coach was the guy picking the rosters, can anyone here rationalize Buehrle making the team over Verlander? Verlander is #1 in the AL in W's and #2 in the AL in ERA. Seems like a snub job to me. Wrong place for sympathy.

QUOTE(jenksd @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 06:27 PM) Did anyone else crack up at Mark Redman making the team? I think this means Iguchi is going for sure because Grudzalianakeliaek is out of the picture. I think what Ozzie should have done, kind of as a symbolic protest of having to take a player from every team, is pick the worst Royal possible. Then, let him ride the pine the whole game. It would have been just as good as picking Redman. Incidently, wasn't Redman a Marlin when Ozzie coached there? Maybe that's why he was picked.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 06:24 PM) Boston hates Guillen now. They will have to take a number and stand in line behind everybody else that hates our manager.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 06:19 PM) Schilling said he wants to start and he's not on the team. hahaha. I have grown to hate Schilling for reasons like this. If we were half as good as he thinks he is, he would still be better than Cy Young.

This is like watching a strip tease, get to the f***ing point!

My initial reation to that would be BULLs***. But I hope you are right.

I would like to see Cliff follow Shingo's path, be designated for assignment before he rides off into the sunset to play triple A ball for us or another team.

QUOTE(atrain081 @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 03:47 PM) last 5 sundays..... 2 - 10 L vs. Texas 8 - 10 L vs. Cleveland 8 - 1 W vs. Cincinatti 9 - 10 L vs. Houston ??? 13 given up vs. Cubs so far i don't like sundays In the last several years, the Sox have not seemed to fair as well on Sundays. Is your avatar a try at atonement?

Come'on Pirates!

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 03:43 PM) And thanks to Politte's poor pitching we're behind 4 runs opposed to 2. Oh But the Flammable Cliff Politte is not a problem.

Anybody still excited Politte has coming back? I think I would switch Montero for Politte now. Even Sean Tracey could come back.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 03:36 PM) \What Politte apologists are out there? What are you talking about? Official Politte Apologists Thread

Shall we start a thread that has dates as to when Cliff will be released?

Let there be no doubt, Cliff Politte is done. Say "Hi!" to Shingo on your way out of the locker room.

GAS CAN POLITTE

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 03:12 PM) You know how Buehrle has about 3 or 4 games a year in which he gets rocked? This was one of those games. He had nothing from the first pitch. But we are destined to hear bulls*** about pitch tipping for the next several days.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 03:08 PM) LOL. A Pirate win would actually piss me off a little. It would make this shellacking by a pathetic Cubs team even more frustrating. But, yes, go Pirates! Take some of the sting out of the loss is the key for me.

SOx game off, Tigers game on

QUOTE(tealeafreaderii @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 03:04 PM) tieing run to the plate in Pittsburgh COME ON BUCCOS!!! A pirate win would take some of the sting out of this loss. Come on Freddy!

Bring in Politte

Great. Riske obviously needs work. When was the last time he got in a game. Oh yeah, it was f***ing yesterday. So tomorrow in a one run game, Ozzie will have nobody left in the bullpen, so he will being in Cliff "the Gas Can" Politte.

QUOTE(atrain081 @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 02:53 PM) I'm beginning to think that it's impossible to beat the Cubs on Sunday. Does anyone know our record vs. the Cubs on Sunday? I can't remember the last time we beat them. I know of 2 Sunday wins, none beyond that.
