G&T

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Oct 6, 2008 -> 06:34 PM) If this was Kazmir again I wouldn't be as mad being dominated, but when it's this type of s***ty pitcher, it really pisses you off. But it's not even like it's MB or someone with a good ERA who pitches well. He is the 4th guy on that team. He has the worst ERA of any starter in the playoffs. He's a bad pitcher and the Sox don't have a game plan to win. Greg Walker has to be fired. Tomorrow.

That ump is unreal. It's not even fair

And the disaster continues.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Oct 6, 2008 -> 06:24 PM) old ass Dye can cut balls off but Wise cant get within 20 ft of them. It was explained to me yesterday that Wise is playing in left center because Griffey can't cover the gaps. Therefore, he is WAY off the line.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 6, 2008 -> 06:18 PM) Griffey's only hit 1 HR since we traded for him, correct? 3 I think

Ok. That ump is giving A LOT of extra room to the Rays.

More fly out. 2 quickly out. I'll be shocked if we aren't shut out. This game represents everything wrong with the Sox. Can't hit junk ballers, can't hold runners, poor defense.

Dye k's on a fastball on a tee.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Oct 6, 2008 -> 06:08 PM) Andy Sonnanstine is the same age as Gavin And Sonnanstine sucks. The Sox offense is doing a terrible job, as usual, against junk ballers.

Bring in Richard. NOW. Game's about over. Thank you Gavin. But I guess we rode those young guys to the end.

Pen is warming.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 6, 2008 -> 06:01 PM) It would have been nice had he got the call on the curveball against Upton, but our offense still needs to score to win the game. Yeah, in the end Sonnanstine is throwing hangers and these guys won't hit it. And Floyd went.

Could this ump give any more breaks to the Rays?

This should be a quick loss.

Looking like one of THOSE games. Hanger after hanger after hanger...pop out after pop out

Pena and Longoria got nothing but nasty junk. One of those pitches gets Upton.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 6, 2008 -> 05:47 PM) Please tell me Gavin didn't throw a 3-2 fastball to Upton? Yup. Never even threw a decent curveball. All get me overs.

Stop pitching to Upton.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Oct 6, 2008 -> 05:39 PM) It's clear we're swinging for the fences as usual. Keep us in this Gavin. And that's going to be a real problem because the ball isn't carrying.

QUOTE (Jake @ Oct 6, 2008 -> 09:27 AM) I'm not sure that pitchers are ever afraid to "snap off" their curveball. If they would be afraid of anything, they'd be afraid not to "snap it off." Having an inability to throw a good curveball consistently, on the other hand, may be viable. Actually that's usually not true. Hawk always talks about "get me overs." Pitchers throw these because they want to keep the ball in the zone instead of trusting that they can throw a biting hook for a strike. It's a mental thing. Javy does that a lot.

QUOTE (MAX @ Oct 6, 2008 -> 09:11 AM) You think he craps his pants. I don't. People catch on to his stuff, that's what I believe. Hitter catch onto the fact that he will hang breaking balls because he is too afraid to snap it off. He gets away throwing fastballs the first time through, but a pitcher has to throw off speed stuff the second time through to keep hitters off balance. That's when things go bad.

QUOTE (Chet Lemon @ Oct 6, 2008 -> 08:49 AM) I wouldn't mind if Vazquez came out of the pen either in game four or a potential game five because of his effectiveness the first time through a lineup. Disagree. He collapses under pressure. The later you bring him in, and the more important the situation, the more likely he is to get hit.

QUOTE (IamtheHBOMB @ Oct 5, 2008 -> 10:59 PM) Incredibly weaksauce. Yet another 90's alternative music icon has been sucked into the "mystique" of the Cubs franchise. Eddie Vedder is terrible. The End. I could be wrong, but as I understand it, he has always been a Cubs fan and grew up in Chicago.

QUOTE (robinventura23 @ Oct 5, 2008 -> 08:42 PM) Why does tomorrows game depend on what the Red Sox do? Just decide it now and have them play around it? Yet another reason to hate Boston. Hey Cub Fans, this is what it feels like to win a playoff game! It's not just that its Red Sox. They're playing a west coast team.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Oct 5, 2008 -> 08:31 PM) I watched both games but cant remember, what kind of thrower is Sonnanstine Junk.
