QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 05:57 PM) make it a complete joke all over again. as if it isnt already

Im going to go with 5 Sox, (Count, Jenks, Dye, Thome, Iguchi/Crede)

I think everyone here, Twins/Tigers/Sox fans should be proud that the AL Central has the best teams in the bigs hands down. I should hope that the WS champion will come from the ALC hopefully the sox

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 04:39 PM) Someone in the gameday thread brought up a good comparison with Logan. Guillen continued to pitch him in tight situations to determine his effectiveness. When he failed, he was demoted. It didn't take two months to make a decision. If Politte were on the Cubs it would take Baker half a season to have the balls to remove him from the bullpen. You have to believe Guillen conceeded (in some small way) the game to have a good look at Politte. If losing today means not losing several more games in the future because of him, it's probably a win in Guillen's mind. that was I, and I stand behind it, if your on Ozzies team your going to be tested he needs to know 100% with out a doubt what he has and what he needs to get(borowski? hawkins?). We just need someone who can pitch effectivly in blow outs one way or another and eat some innings, someone with an ERA south of 4.50. There were alot of things good and bad to take away from this series. The Good - This offense never dies, never, nothing is out of reach for them. - The bullpen is solid san Politte - Jon Garland maybe?? finally learned to be effective hes going to have to pitch inside with his 2 seam to be able to get away with mistakes over the plate. - Our bench is deep, real DEEP. The Bad - this starting pitching needs to get its collective head out of its ass, i expect a much better second half after the ASG QUOTE(bmags @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 04:54 PM) i really am worried about our staff...especially if contreras keeps having trouble finding his arm angles. Come playoff time, i'm not willing to count on offense in the playoffs. i am, our pitching isn't Twins dominate but it isn't horrid, it just appears that way since we were spoiled last year. The sox have the best O hands down in the bigs, and we've had it even with auto outs (at times) in our 8 - 9 - 1 spots. I realize pitching and defense win, and we've got both along with a killer O, who in the post season are we going to face whom is better than the sox? Boston? i think not. Detroit? they have a propensity of s***ting the bed when facing us. Oakland? Texas? ha!, and who in the NL is going to compete with the AL? no one i expect another WS sweep for who ever is the AL representative.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 04:18 PM) Since 1998, we've had, what, 4 or 5 instances where the Sox have won the first two games and failed to win the third? We can't seem to sweep these bastards. It's always an ugly loss for the third game. i know, but we take the series 4-2 thats good enough, and we took the dagger to their heart yesterday. if we didn't have gas can mark and gas can politte on the mound today we would've won.

QUOTE(soxunited @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 04:03 PM) This game really has me questioning what exactly is going on in Ozzie's mind, 3 runs were conquerable. Whey leave him out there Ozzie? prolly because he needed to know 100% that Cliff is spent, which he is, he did the same with Logan against Hafner thats how ozzie manages.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 04:01 PM) Thank you, Ozzie Guillen. Thank you for doing your best to give the Cubs this game. CLIFF POLITTE HAS GOT TO BE OFF THIS TEAM TOMORROW. GET THE f*** OFF OF OUR TEAM, YOU f***ING WORTHLESS PIECE OF s***. /agree
