QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 20, 2006 -> 04:51 PM) Don Cooper has done an amazing job with our returning pitchers this year. I especially like the work he's done with Neal's offspeed pitches. HOW IN THE HELL DID NEAL COTTS ONLY ALLOW 1 HOMER LAST SEASON? Talk about a miracle year. I love it now when Coop goes on the North show and he acts like a complete ass whenever he's asked about the pitchers sucking. Coop has done some great things, but this staff has been bad.

Game over.

QUOTE(soxyess @ Aug 20, 2006 -> 04:48 PM) why is alomar still in this game His AB hasn't come up again. He'll be pulled for AJ in the ninth.

Christ

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 20, 2006 -> 04:37 PM) Why the hell is Joe not on 3rd???? I thought the same thing, but at least he didn't make the third out at third base.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 20, 2006 -> 04:30 PM) Ozzie yesterday called the guys like Punto, Bartlett, Rivas, Castillo...etc., the slap hitters, his word for them was "Pirahnas" The Twins broadcast hasn't stopped telling me that, they seem to love it.

Does that advertisement say TWins Icecream?

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 20, 2006 -> 04:24 PM) Something like, "According to Ozzie, here comes Nick 'Ty Cobb' Punto." According to the Twins broadcast, that's who Ozzie compared him to...and it didn't seem like a joke.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 20, 2006 -> 04:21 PM) I guess it puts things into perspective. Seems like we have been a last place team since we played Detroit, and were going to go up to Detroit the same place as when they left. But the Sox should be a couple games closer. It's nice not to lose ground, but it would help to gain ground.

Tigers lose.

Whats Santana's pitch count at? Of course the bullpen isn't much fun either.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 20, 2006 -> 04:07 PM) Santana has been hittable today, but our offense just sucks right now. And our D this game has sucked as well. Not to mention that Javy has made some bad pitches at the wrong time........Piss poor performanc today all around i would say It looks like this team stopped caring. Maybe they are looking ahead to the next series, but they don't look like this matters.

Hmmm that low strike wasn't called for the Sox...shocking.

Tigers still trail by one going into the ninth...so that's something.

Nothing like getting 2 outs then giving up the run.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 20, 2006 -> 03:54 PM) I have a feeling that Vazquez would suddenly show more testicular fortitude if he ever pitched in the posteason. I have a fear that we might hear that argument.

Why is Javy still out there?

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 20, 2006 -> 03:45 PM) We've seen Thome foul off way too many meatballs lately. Thome seems to be missing his power.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 20, 2006 -> 03:30 PM) Paul Konerko is the goat of this game so far. He's the only one who looks like he has no clue, and his error more than likely directly led to us losing this game. No, that play did start the inning, it was the stupid throws that took away possible double plays. This has been a team effort.

QUOTE(soxyess @ Aug 20, 2006 -> 03:28 PM) Why the f**k is Alomar on this team. This guy is an automatic out. He cant throw anybody out. We couldnt have found another catcher? Uh...Chris Widger. Alomar is here to be a better catcher than Chris Widger.

How long will it be before the offense starts swinging for the fences and strikes out every time? Not to be cynical.

Texas takes the lead.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 20, 2006 -> 03:16 PM) For as good as our defense was last year, it has sucked this season. Even plays that aren't being called errors are really putting us in a bad position. Mental mistakes. There were two that inning, by throwing to the wrong base, it took away DP chances and made the inning worse. Luckily the play at home saved a run, but those mistakes are ridiculous.

Nothing is even moving anymore. Everything is nice and flat.

Who ele feels like this is about to get real bad?
