QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 01:06 AM) I'm not going to lump myself in with everyone else but if you read what I post on this site then you'll know that I DO NOT criticize every move he makes, that's some bulls***. I never said you did specifically, I was speaking more generally about the SoxTalk public. You don't criticize all of Ozzies moves, I know that. But when he does make a mistake, you sure are one of the 1st people saying they called it...

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 01:01 AM) Who the f*** is the screener for the Sox Post game shows on the score? Can we get a little variety? Must every f***ing caller be a PFB clone? He proves me wrong every once in a while but the proof is on this site, a lot of the times when people end up b****ing about Ozzie after the game, that same complaint was made at the time of the move. Often by myself. You're giving yourself and everyone else way too much credit. Everyone calls Ozzie out on everything he does. Not hard to be wrong when thats the case...

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 12:46 AM) WTF are you talking about? This is a post-game thread? What the f*** do you expect us to talk about, pink poke-a-dots and giraffes? My freaking Lord... I happen to like giraffes actually... In a nutshell, I agree with Sleepy. Jenks should have gotten Walker and/or Ellis. And fathom, no one is arguing, everyone pretty much has the same opinion. What I see is b****ing and complaining...

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 12:37 AM) So it wouldn't have mattered if it were Carlos Beltran out in LF tonight? Because -- chances are, Beltran makes that throw in his sleep and the Sox win then and there. But chances don't mean squat, so Podsednik = Beltran, right? Why even make that comparison. No matter what, you can't guarantee anyone, not even Carlos Beltran, would have thrown him out. Does it make a difference? Was Beltran in LF for the Sox tonight? Was Erstad or Anderson in LF for the Sox tonight? No, ok, so move on. I don't see the point in beating a dead horse. We know Pod's cant throw...oh well. QUOTE(shoota @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 12:39 AM) The better chances a team has, the more likely it is to win. Example: BA over Pods in the outfield as a 9th inning defensive replacement. BA gives his team a better chance at winning than Pods does, so whether or not BA fails, he's still more likely to help the team win. The difference between winning and losing the game tonight could have been BA starting the 9th in the outfield. If you can't understand that... Well "CHANCES" are that Anderson would have been in CF anyway, and Erstad in left. QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 12:39 AM) I laughed.

QUOTE(Wanne @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 12:31 AM) That's the issue I have. He did the same crap last year. I don't give a crap if Jenks is deamed "the closer". He scares the s*** outta me ever time he takes the mound now. It's clear your overreacting considering we're only 7 games into the season.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 12:24 AM) So it's not Pods fault he was out there, but it's not Ozzie's fault for not making any changes? It's tough to say. Ozzie should have brought in BA or Pablo, sure, but either way, it doesn't guarantee that Bradley is out at home. Then again, I'm 95% sure I could have thrown out Bradley from the distace Pods tried to. Ask SoxAce if you don't believe me. QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 12:24 AM) No, but I can guaran-f***ing-tee that the chances would be better. Ozzie should know that and go with the odds, not his gut or pure hatred of Brian Anderson. Chances don't mean squat really. Thats just your way of saying "I'd be less pissed if it was BA or Erstad that missed the throw home." Give it a rest, and L is and L.

I can't say this is pinned on Ozzie alone. To say he should have kept MacD in is silly. He's the set up man, Bobby is the closer. He didn't have his stuff. Not much you can do. Pods...yes, he messed up, but it really isn't his fault he was out there. I'll agree BA probably should have been in, but even if he was, Erstad would likely have gone to left, or maybe they bring Pablo is. No matter what, you can't guarantee either is going to throw Bradley out. It's a tough loss, sure, but it's not the end of the world. All you can do is hope Mark gets them tomorrow and the offense steps it up a notch or twelve.

You guys sicken me with your near-suicidal post-loss attitudes.

QUOTE(shoota @ Apr 10, 2007 -> 11:55 PM) Guillen just stood there in the dugout with a towel around his neck hoping Jenks would save the game. He had his best defensive outfielder sitting on the bench. If BA is in the game, Sox win. Today, the difference between winning and losing was Guillen's poor non-move. How so? I missed Bradley and Piazza's AB's, so I might have missed something, but how would have BA given the Sox the W? I assume you're talking about Pods non-catch in the walk-off flyball, but at that point, is was 1-1.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Apr 10, 2007 -> 05:02 PM) I watched a little bit of his outing vs. the Angels last week, and IMO, he looks very unimpressive. This offense should have a field day off of him. If one were not to have prior knowledge and base an opinion on one outing, one would also think Contreras was the worst pitcher in the MLB.

I guess ACT's mean nothing if I'm not smarter than a 2nd grader. I quit. Holy shayza! Finally frickin' got it.

I have no idea of what the hell to do.

So basically this guy is the Athletics version of Jeremy Sowers?

Have a good one Zoom. Happy birthday to ya.

I got DVD Shrink today and so far, it's been flawless. The quality after it has been written is amazing too, considering the files are compressed.

RipIt4Me requires that you have DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter beforehand.

That's odd that everyone is mentioning the difficulties with the wireless internet connection. For me, it was pretty damn easy. Much easier, in fact, than what I had to go through with my sister's computer which runs XP. As far as drivers, I only had to download 1 from a 3rd party, that being my HP printer. Everything else, from speakers, externals hard drive, external burner, and wireless PCI card have all been a snap. Even my iPod and iTunes was easy. Maybe I'm just lucky...

I don't know what everyone is complaining about. I got a new PC yesterday with Vista Home Premium and I love it. The only inconvenience is the compatibility and drivers with some things like printers and such, but other than that, I love it. The Aero GUI is very nice, and the graphics/picture quality really are top-notch. I love how they redesigned the start menu, and the Gadget menu on the right side is phenomenal. Anyone got Vista and liked it? Seems like I'm the only one.

Griffey will also be wearing it, along with other players around the league. It was actually Griffey's idea that he pitched to Bud Selig that some players should wear #42.

Pitch #1: Failed bunt. Pitch #2: Pop out. Sweet.

Oh my god, we got a duck snort hit against Johan.

Pitched out of it. Not a bad job. He's going to have to get some better control to last past a few more innings. I like what I see though, he's going right after their hitters.

Does Danks hold his breath between innings?

First Major League Strike Out Victim: Torii Hunter Fantabulous.

I still don't think Morneau deserved the MVP.
