QUOTE(soxunited @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 02:33 PM) I agree, but how many should you have to pitch around? The B-team defense didn't help, but the defense can't defend against walks.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 02:30 PM) I thought Jon was turning the corner after his last start.....he still wasn't pitching inside as much as I would have liked but he was staying in the zone. When you're a Houston batter and you know he's not going to throw first pitch strike and he's going to nibble the corners the ENTIRE at bat, he's Danny Wright. And going with what I just said about Jon, I've been loving Riske for the sole fact that he's pounding the zone. Props for the Danny Wright comparison.

QUOTE(soxunited @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 02:26 PM) Jon didn't get much help from the guys behind him, if those plays would have been made, there is a chance his command would have been a bit better. Then add on to the fact that the Sox offense is lethargic - this pitcher can be hit for goodness sake! He has been awful on the road this season. And all the Sox's hitters have is 2 hits? Rough outing for the Sox on all facets Bottom Line: Good Major League Pitchers know how to pitch around mistakes.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 02:24 PM) it's a matter of sunk costs. It's useless to look at the $10 million and say we better get something out of it. We already committed to spending it. IT GONE! No matter if we pitch garland or not, that money ain't coming back. Garland has been mediocre. Not terrible, not below average, not good, mediocre. He'd be a 4 on other teams, he is a 5 on ours. If he gets 12-13 wins and a 5 era, that's a 7 win, 4.50 ERA performance from here on in. I'll take that. Nothing Garland is going to do for these last three months is going to shake his 2006 reputation as a shaky pitcher who had a career year. Postseason games are way too valuable to f*** around with. It also could be that we worried about having to steal his signs and score 20 runs against him when he pitches for a new team.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 02:20 PM) You realize that the Astros are a bad hitting team. Garland has a knack for making bad hitting teams like the Royals look like the Yankees.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 02:14 PM) ^^^^^^^^ Garland is a mere shell of his 2005 form. Now that he has his money Im not surprised. I guess since his girlfriend taught him how to pitch last year, they must have broken up. This year he is pitching like pre-2005 Garland.

QUOTE(Ndgt10 @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 02:13 PM) As long as Garland gets me 12-13 wins with a 5 ERA and a spot on the bench in the postseason, I will be a happy, happy man. You mean you didn't enjoy the JOHN GARLAND WALK-A-THON today?

Bmac gets the lead off man out, that was amazing!

Well at least Garland is done throwing batting practice. BMac, show'em how it's done.

GO CARDINALS!!!

Number 9, Number 9, Number 9 ........ Number 9 ....... Number 9

PreGame Observation: Andy Pettitte stills wears the tightest pants of any major league baseball player.

Something witty and encouraging!

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 23, 2006 -> 09:30 AM) I'm not excited about Polite. I think its nearly a lock he'll be the same gascan he has been this year once he gets back. KW is going to have to get another reliever. And he performed against a Triple A line up. Now lets see if Cliff can get major league hitters out.

I dedicate this win to Jay Fairyotti!!!

CANCEL THE f***ING POST GAME SHOW

I think it is time to start posting Rally Credes.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 08:36 PM) Timo is going deep here. I never said who or what he was going deep in to.

Timo is going deep here.

Is that what a hit looks like?

This most obscure pitchers seem to baffle our hitters.

This game is reminding me of Garcia v. Santana last year.

UNBELIEVABLE

Error? WHere's the home field call??

Consider the Post Game Show Canceled
