the southside tiger

Everett out by a mile at second. Atleast he got a hit.

Juan killed that ball! And the funny thing is he hesitated at second thinking perhaps it was a double. Means he wasnt hotdogging and watching the ball, he just put his head down and ran. WTG JUAN!

Booyah! Everyone doubting Damaso, and he comes through. Thats what Im talkin about!

Never said I would. But Id be in there and Id be swinging. If it were Pedro, Id be a little like the kid in Rookie of the Year.

If you gave me a helmet and a bat, and told me to face Garland, I wouldnt be scared. Id jump right in there. On the other hand, if you told me to face Pedro, Id tell you to get lost. Pedro is intimidating, Garland is not. Maybe its because Pedro will throw at anyone and be all ready for the fight. I like that. You dont hit a teammate of Pedro because he will get you. If Garland was pitching, they could peg Everett and PK in a row and Jon would still do nothing. Everett might whoop the pitchers ass, but on wouldnt do a thing. He is timid. Pedro lets everyone know whos in charge. Jon doesnt do that.

Go over to mlb.com and search for elcapitan35's posts. Or just be cool and take my word for it. I never wrote anything of the sort.

We can definitely sweep KC. That would be sweet! Not to mention the magic number would be down to 14 at the most.

You never heard that from me.

BMac is incredible. If we let him get away, someone ought to lose their job.

Contreras is great. Keep him in the rotation and Cotts in the pen. And another forgotten one who has caught the eye of the tiger. Luis Vizcaino!

Garland pitches like a coward (look guys, I was careful how I said it! ). Watch Pedro pitch. He attacks hitters. He could have faced Babe Ruth without even flinching. And he would have come right at him. He doesnt back down for anyone. Garland is scared of the hitters. He will never be a great if he doesnt gain courage. As for Ozzie, he was here last year and we stunk. Its the new guys who made us good. We are winning in spite of Ozzie. All he does is bring bad publicity with his goofy jokes. And, McCarthy, all I can say is damn. He will be on my favorites list shortly if he keeps this up. 14 straight innings without allowing a run, but unlike Garland who did his scoreless streak against Detroit and Oakland (when they stunk), BMac has done it against Boston and Texas, the two best offenses around. BMac is an aggressive pitcher, and he will soon be better than Garland could ever hope to be. Ace in the making, and a completely different pitcher than he was earlier. This kid aint scared of nothin'.

Ill give you that one. But he doesnt make all the stupid mistakes that Caballo does. I swear I remember him getting picked off in scoring position in the ninth inning atleast twice. When Carlos got on late in the game, it just made me cringe.

Exactly. Juan had a reason to be out there, unlike Pods.

Thats not true. Most likely, that honor belongs to Carlos Lee.

Damn it! Im not going to rip on Juan, but that stunk. Well, atleast he wasnt out by a mile like Pods was. And Pods almost got picked off again. What a fool, doesnt he learn?

His arm is too strong for third base. Its just perfect for short. Juan has a gun, and even without this recent hot streak, I would have given him that spot next year.

All I do is whine? Right. Im a Sox fan, and I have been for years. I will always be here too. I wasnt one of the losers giving up during our tough August stretch. Except for the certain players that I said I liked, I root for the team, not the individual players. Thats why when guys like Maggs and PK leave, Im not going to care about them anymore. There are certain players that I would still root for, and I listed them, but other than that, the team comes first. Ill dislike any player I please.

Oh, and I like Jermaine! I dont know how I forgot him.

Far from it. Im no Ozzie fan at all. In fact, Im not sure who I like anymore. Frank, Gooch, Uribe, Mark, Crazy Carl, ARow, Contreras, Timo and Damaso. Freddies alright, but Im not gonna go nuts if he leaves or anything.

Widger sucks. If AJP needs rest, put in Cassanova. I dont want to watch this schmuck Widger play. A popup with a runner on third? How many times are we gonna screw up with a runner on third and less than two outs?

All he does is hit homers. MVP is Iguchi, by far.

Compared to Hawk and DJ, these ESPN announcers suck. Ugh.

Thats a personal attack. :headshake

I agree. Im really starting to doubt Podsedniks value. 55 stolen bases is great but it only means anything if those SBs translate into runs. Podsednik has only scored 68 runs, which over 162 games turns into 105 runs. El Caballo could have done that. Carl Crawford and all the other bigtime base stealers have lots of runs scored. And some of those guys actually manage to have atleast a small bit of power! Im not looking for 30 homeruns from Pods, but Crawford has 13 homers, 72 RBIs, 39 SBs and a higher BA than Pods. Chone Figgins has 6 homers, 46 RBIs and a higher BA. Pods is not as great as we make him out to be.

MORON PODSEDNIK! Way to kill a rally. Pathetic. And then Iguchi lines out. Runner on third, none out and we get no runs. Having followed this franchise for years, Im really not surprised.
