QUOTE(ottawa_sox @ Jul 28, 2006 -> 07:27 PM) I take issue with this. Ozzie took this club where it hadn't gone in, like, 100 years. I am sick of hearing how sh***y Ozzie is, when his starting pitchers have summarily lost their velocity and overall effectiveness. Nobody could manage this starting staff into a pennant winner. Their effectiveness is integral to the team's success and he has done everything to help, coddle and instil confidence. This is true. quality post

What has to happen is freddy and either buhrle or vaz HAS to go on the 15 day DL. let Bmac and heager or whoever else you want at AAA to try to get lucky. Then with a break and maybe some luck by the new pitchers this team will have a different vibe and that might turn around our SP's. A trade isn't gonna do crap except make us worse next year so this is really the ONLY thing you can do at this point. Will this happen? of course not

o my god freddy got lucky there

Magglio fishin rocked liriano to the wall, scored both runners. The atmosphere and confidence levels of these 2 teams is so different than our sox. sad

2 on 0 out for det

liriano pitching. first guy reaches for DET. tell me when freddy is done doing whatever he does, i believe he pitches

QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ Jul 28, 2006 -> 07:06 PM) im going to watch liriano now definetly going to watch that game while we pitch nice job AJ

hahahhaha 2 times in 3 innings they score from 1st on a double. yes were batting

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 28, 2006 -> 06:59 PM) Why hit a ball 10 feet when you can hit it 450? thats a quality post. got a chuckle outa me there being negetive in a funny way is good right now

god were like AAA when pitching

QUOTE(PA32R @ Jul 28, 2006 -> 06:56 PM) Not counting Orioles batters. Uhh I don't try to watch freddy pitch

Awsome pitch. when you throw a 86 mph fastball thats what people do to your breaking ball

Hey at least only 4 more batters till BA

great at bat by PK. even if we don't score this inning should help the confidence

this ump is giving freddy a reason to pitch low and get strikes.. can freddy see this? that is the question

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 28, 2006 -> 06:41 PM) What is dank? a word for loser people like myself who like the grass

this ump is crazy. How is hawk responding to him, i got the orioles on MLB.tv good job JIM

iguch=dank

should have scored there maybe not though. gooch is good though...

ump LOVES the low strike BA!!!

QUOTE(Jimbo @ Jul 28, 2006 -> 06:29 PM) agreed we suck besides BA's future potential I mean it could all change if this team wants to man up and start being fun to watch again. I wouldn't have a problem with that

disgusting half inning most fun thing for me right now is to wait till BA bats. thats pretty much it

freddy. get it to 90mph please or this game is gonna not be fun every bottom of the inning

Listen I've been tryin Real hard to just let a long baseball season take its long winding road and not be negetive.. much. However right now its time to take a breath and look inside and say what you feel. Its obvious to everyone we have a great offense and a good bullpen (talent wise, when used correctly). Its also obvios we have 3 starting pitchers who plain aren't good right now, but have proven themselves at times in their careers. Also only Count gives you a GOOD feeling going into a game. Now so far we are still at least tied for the wild card and should prolly forget about Det. for a while and focus on winning games, but for that to happen our SP must get better (honestly it seems our SP is bringing down the offense in terms of their confidence). So the question is, regardless of trades and demotions and whatever else kenny does, What is your gut saying? Do you think our SP is gonna turn it around these last 60 so games or do you think its gonna be a game by game stomach ulcer to see if we get the wild card. My gut has been thinking its gonna turnaround but that was like 2 weeks ago. However I'm gonna be the deer in the headlights and freeze, not run. Which means I'm stayin the course and think these guys are gonna turn the corner and find their stuff even though i'm prolly gonna get run over by the car. What's your thoughts?

QUOTE(iguchi=dank @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 02:44 PM) how many times this year do we leave in the SP too long. and I would rather see hard throwing thorton in now with 2 on then Bmac... but we'll see Watch plenty of games this year and it seems to all blend the same way, yet you can see it coming and nothing you think could help is done. This offense is gonna have to carry this team for possibly the whole season, our SP have such low confidence its starting to affect everyone.
