as bad as we might feel right now. Its MUCH worse to be a bosox fan right now. the great boner gives up the game

burgoes or however you spell his name for KC, pitched very very nice after not being stupid to poppi, didn't melt down with 2 on and 1 out. thanks royals

i hope thorton gets the call if needed tomorrow. bobby pitched his guts out and needs rest after this

THATS f***EN AWESOME. WAY TO GO PAULIE

Well he HAVE to do it against farnsy or its prolly a forgone conclusion with rivera

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 7, 2006 -> 08:51 PM) Somehow, we're still tied for the Wild Card lead. For the next two weeks, it's now or never for this team. Everyone has got to pick their games up, from the head man to the 25th guy on the roster. its amazing we still control our destiny. However I think the team's mental health is teetering right now and if we get blown outa the water the rest of the week its over. BIG BIG BIG 2 series right here. To bad were going into it on some stupid ass loss that really was more the managers fault.

I really hope someone really steps up in the press conferance and says. "How could you possibly leave burhle in there." and not "Did you think burhle could hand the 7th after 2 men reached." b/c if you ask nicely ozzie's just gonna mumble/ramble about crap that doesn't mean s***. If you pose the question like How the hell did were you that stupid after it hasn't worked all season; then ozzie has to really answer the question and maybe admit he was an idiot.

not gonna comeback for this one. and frankly I hope we don't b/c then ozzie won't learn. well s*** he hasn't learned yet so I guess I'll hope for the miracle.

well at least were wasting away bmac in a lost cause now. I held on and didn't put my input till now. Burhle was d o n e during that 7th inning, especially when 2 men reached. But when i saw ozzie stroll out there you could tell he was gonna leave him in, and it was just the worst managing move this year, at the top, and maybe there's calls that were as bad this year by ozzie, but this was easily AS bad as any. For god sake burhle is LUCKY anytime he makes it through 6 with only 3ER. He doesn't deserve the opportunity for a win when he's throwin 84-86 (with 1in15 chance he makes it to 88-90mph) meatballs and breaking balls that just don't work anymore with his velocity. He needs some damn rest and won't be the same till he gets the velocity back. You have to take him out.... and even the espn guys were quite and kinda mumbling like.... jesus here's crazy ozzie but lets see if it works. If you have a pitcher with electric STUFF then you can maybe leave him in. You don't leave in a soft lefty against 2!!! righties, back to back, who BOTH have HR's in the game at that point. Unbelievable, and thank god I didn't have to listen to Hawk prolly throw out every excuse in the book. wow wow wow wow.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 01:07 PM) Brian has got to bust his ass running back to get that. He could have caught that. thats a bad play by brian, on the jays replay it certainly looked like he didn't run full out during the last 10yards. If he does he can catch that

BA misses a web gem

just keep it from a big inning count, forget about the runner

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 01:04 PM) Pods....YOU HAVE TO PROTECT! Anderson had a great AB though, and missed a homer by a foot. protect is a good choice of words there. pods is playin better last few games but this remains a problem for him.

maybe high, but it was a good pitch. Wish pods would just swing when he's got 2 strikes, please.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 01:01 PM) ba dreamy

BA needed a few more feet for a road rbi. way to go though

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 12:54 PM) I can't believe Hawk just pointed to Vazquez as someone that Cooper has turned around. did he really? Just say he finally had an outstanding game yesterday. thats all that is needed. Jays announcers putting me to sleep today. Did the candandians ban cafiene?

count goes nasty in the 3rd

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 12:30 PM) is it just me or does BA resemble Alex Rodriguez in mannerisms at the plate? when he got 0-2, his body language was not good. kinda looked like (damn I think I'm gonna strikeout on this next pitch). O well i still have a man crush for him yes. count even working through a toughluck play by cintron and a stolen base. things seem to be getting back to normal. nice game so far. Jays announcers are not as vocal as last 2 games, this losing streak must be wearing on the whole organization

Solid inning for count there. good start

QUOTE(atrain081 @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 12:06 PM) it's good that they're easier to follow this year. i don't mind the mlb radio though either, but it's nice to be able to watch and not pay a boatload for the streaming TV mlb.tv is a great deal to me. as long as you have dsl/cable. 15/month is a great package

QUOTE(Jake @ Aug 4, 2006 -> 10:31 PM) Well then gosh darn it. KC with man on and no outs. Let's take this KC! EDIT : lmao filters. thats the spirit!! beautiful! bunt by buck with 2 strikes, 1 out man on second for KC. odds?

QUOTE(Jake @ Aug 4, 2006 -> 10:18 PM) Can't we post about the Twins in another thread, or the Diamond Club? well I would of but nobody is talkin about it there, and its been like 1hr after the game and this thread was barely over a page.. so i did it.

soxace. verlander is a stud. and i would take him over any of our pitchers. BAA is like under.240 and if he learned to strikeout people more he would be the right-handed liriano with higher velocity. just don't sell the guy short. and in last 10 games only 2 were 4er, 1 was 3er. 1 was 2. all the rest were 0,1 for god sake, his era is 2.79 in the AL

Well KC is gonna give everything they got to lose this game, mauer goes deep first batter of 9th, 5-4.. Thank god they scrapped in an insurance run in the top of 9th HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHA back to back, tie game
