He would have if the offense had gotten him enough runs...

I think that one day cemented that core group of posters to really stick together. That was one of the funniest things ever.

Can you paint a bullseye over that image and paste it up in the clubhouse?

Man I wish I could have been alive to see a world series!

But we are still missing the first and second rounders! C',mon guys!

Rios and Ordonez both had 7 points. Rios with the tie breaker by only making one out vs Ordonez who had two outs and a CS. The only picker was Juggernaut, congrats!

I think Rocco Badelli is going to be the Rays rep. Just a hunch.

It looks like Wright vs Lawrence could be a huge game in this series.

Who are our real prospects down there?

The adjustment they made in his swing was they dropped the starting position of his hands about 5 or 6 inches. He was starting them right around his shoulders, now he is starting them letter high. It took that long loop out of his swing, now everything is hit on a line.

Hey good luck man, I hope everything works out for the best!

No need to put a disclaimer on this. If they can get through what I've said in this thread, they can handle what you've said in this thread. I've outdone you majorly, hun!!! NOBODY can beat what I said in this thread. But thanks for trying! Meh, it was for the children Speaking of that... how young is the youngest one of us? I think someone is just graduating 8th grade

THE GREAT AND MIGHTY OZ HAS SPOKEN!

Mark still has some stuff to say...

Hey Arne you can only take a player twice in a week, you already have picked Crede twice!

I thought JM made the move for Marte, then Alou countered with Aurilia to hit for Bernard? That is exactly what happened. I didn't see, I was just basing it on what I read in other posts. If that is the case, then Manuel could have done nothing else. You can't change pitchers again. Marte had to pitch to Aurilia. Like I said on 2 other threads, this is what I would have done had I been JM. Alfonzo at bat, runners on 2nd and 3rd, I believe. Colon pitching, Marte warming up. JM HAS TO KNOW THAT AURILIA IS ON THE BENCH. Bring in Marte against Alfonzo and his .214 average. Sometimes you should be able to count on Marte for a K. If Aurilia comes in to PH, you have 1B open to walk him. If Aurilia PHs for Bernard after Alfonzo gets out, he's faced his one batter and you bring in Tom Gordon to have the precious Righty-Righty matchup. So many more possibilities would have opened had JM put in Marte ONE batter earlier. I didn't have a problem with Marte facing Aurillia. Until that HR righties were hitting a total of .104 against Damaso. I had a big problem with no one being ready against the 3-4-5 hitters of the Giants line up with a two run lead in the 9th.

And to think, I saw the title of the thread, thought it was about last nights game, and was wondering why it was on the off topic board.

Also a GREAT book on the Sox is by Dan Helpingstine, and it is called "Through Hope and Dispare" It is a MUST read for any true sox fan. Even more so this year.

Don't we have a spot open in the organization after Ward's firing and all of the resulting promos?

It is one thing to have a team with no expectations that loses. It is another to have a ton of talent and underachieve. If we had a team like Cleveland or the Tigers, I would still enjoy the season as there are no expectations. But this team should not be as bad as they are.
