Capn12

That changeup Cliff brought with him to teh mound today went a long way to making me think maybe he has a slight bit of usefulness left in him...

Woke up at 11 AM on the sofa, watched some Nick Games and Sports reruns, got something to eat, went and sat down in front of teh PC utopia in the other room, watched 19 innings of Sox-Sox baseball on mlb.tv, played a bit o' EverQuest, got ready and came to work, here now!

OK, I hate to admit it..but that change from Politte is pretty damn good.

Pods is SUCH a clutch bunter...

2nd straight AB for Dye where he is bailing right away on his swing.

Thome late on Papelboners fastball, 2 pitches that were really right there to hit.

No Heads, I'm not going all Chicken Little either...I'm still here, watching, and not annoiting Papelbon as Cy Young already for getting Gooch to popout. Looked rather ordinary to me, this team needs a few days off, I'd rather our pitchers not throw at all in the All-Star game.

Pods is looking pretty damn good with his approach at the plate these days...I only wish he didn't play close to Peoria defensively in left field.

Some of you folks need a break from watching this team or something...."waiting on all our pitchers to be FAs so we can get new arms", "after Schilling shuts us out tomorrow"...good lord.

And with BMac now warming, we've effectively toasted the 'pen. Contreras, I sure as hell hope you can throw up to 18 innings if need be tomorrow.

Simply amazing..it takes talent to get bases loaded, nobody out....and not score 1 GD run.

Thome had no chance against Lopez

Loaded..no one out...our hitters coming up...now is the time.

And cue the Chicken Littles now... What was Oz supposed to do there? Our 'pen is completely overused right now because our supposed strength this year is a flat out weakness behind Contreras....not much can be done when we have 5 starters who seem completely lost.

And THATS what a reliever does in the crunch. Well done Cottsy.

AJs arm isnt really that bad, but when your pitchers dont hold anyone on base where they are, its kinda hard to throw anyone out. Our starters dont do AJ any favors whatsoever concerning baserunners.

And thats why when you have the #9 hitter down 0-2, you don't f***ing WALK him. :headshake

Thats the Pods I knew we COULD see at times this year! And Thome #30!! Try not to suck in the 6th, Garcia.

We try REALLY hard to sit here and be passive in these gamethreads, as tempers ALWAYS run high between you guys for some completely unknown reason...but some of you are really making it hard to try and be nice in here.... So I'll ask you 1 last time.. Shut the f*** up with the insults on each other, unless you really want to be suspended over something so ridiculous.

Because what we REALLY need right now, is for you people to start b****ing at each other. Knock the 3rd grade recess s*** off.

Awesome Ace...awesome!!

1 more ER for Buehrle, and we'll be sporting a starting rotation that has 80% of its members with an ERA over 4.00....pitching is CLEARLY our strength this year...

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 7, 2006 -> 09:37 PM) Ah, Mark Buehrle. Always good for giving a lead right back. Quoted for the truth

We all bag on Widge, but that was just s*** location by Mark.

Widge in teh lineup tonight :headshake But so is Ozuna!!
