QUOTE(ottawa_sox @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 11:05 PM) Probably a good time to get him in. Game kinda on the line - get him involved with the team , but even if he gives up a long one, we are still winning. Then it's Hermy time. Actually...good call ottawa..good time to put Shinjo in

QUOTE(jerseysox @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 11:05 PM) Cotts is better than Marte, just like my dead grandmother is. Shingo is going to lay the place to waste like.

holy.....hell.. Ozzie...Shinjo in with a man on, and a 3 run lead?

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 10:58 PM) I know this might be an annoyance to some people, but I just got home -- can someone give me a slight recap on what's happened? I'd appreciate it a whole lot. If not, that's cool too. McCarthy didnt have his control, couldn't get the changeup over and struggled. walked 4 or 5 in 4.2 IP, and then we had a Vizcaino sighting, which resulted in 2 HRs..our offense has been great against s***ty pitching, but our s***ty pitchers (read: Vizcaino) gave runs back/ And Cotts is mother f***ing MONEY.

Batman Begins IMO was a VERY well done film. Was about time that they spent some time working on the "training" of Bruce Wayne, and I thought Bale did an excellent job in taking over the tights.

I'll take 2 or 3 more Neal Cotts in the bullpen please.

This just in.... Foulke is bad. But they still get the win

Foulke in in the 9th in Cleveland...and throwing meatballs....ugh.. 10-9 Bos, 1 out man on 2nd

I'm too lazy to go look up who it was that said it, but they were SPOT on when they said when Crediocre is at the plate, he looks like he is swinging Thor's Hammer up there.

BASE HIT CREDE!! Someone call the media!!

QUOTE(MinnySoxFan @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 10:30 PM) New to the board here. Gotta say it was kinda funny. I jumped in on about page 47 or so and I thought we were getting shelled. I had no idea we were tied until I got the GameDay loaded from MLB.com. Been lurking here for a while and thought I'd finally post. I'm from Minnesota but grew up a Sox fan. I still like the Twins, just not as much as the Sox, as wierd as that seems. So anyways, go Sox!!! This is the year!!! Welcome!! Don't let the negativity of some drag ya down!

Gooch is a 2 strike hitting machine

Jesus f*** Vizcaino....useless

Re: Kip Wells....he got hammered yesterday. And Vizcaino gives up a bomb....wtf

Heres an idea you should strongly consider... Less bickering bulls***, more actual game talk

QUOTE(Ozzie Montana @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 09:55 PM) We shouldve kept McCarthy down at AAA. He's not ready yet and all we are doing is wasting his options. We shoulda brought up Adkins or Bej see if they got it, atleast until el duque comes back plus they already got major league experience. Options work moreso per year I believe, and not for everytime a player is sent down.

QUOTE(That funky motion @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 09:46 PM) Pods is a average left fielder at best! That ball was crushed off the top of the fence. If you want to lay blame for this game so far, lay it on McCarthy. He is the one that couldnt stop walking Royals, and couldn't hit any spots. This kid isn't ready, I'm sorry.

Take it for what its worth, but Cleveland sits atop the MLBs in Team ERA at 3.50 But of course, the Injuns bats are alot more inconsistant than our Sox are...thats saying alot huh.

When he comes back, buh-bye OMIT!!

Seether - "Karma and Effect" This CD just gets it done, plain and simple! Been listening to it alot lately, great to hear nothing but serious rock on a CD from these guys, and Shauns voice is unmistakeable.

I'll admit...whenever there is b****ing about Carl playing the OF, I'm usually behind it. But Carl has done a helluva job in RF when he plays there, tracking balls in the gaps that I thought were sure hits. He has been, if not a bit better than Dye out there when he is asked to play the field. Just don't put him in CF please Ozzie.

For a 5 starter, you won't hear me complain much about a 1.50 WHIP, 4.50-5.00 ERA....just that he has been a hard one to watch out on the mound last starts, and WHIP has always been bad.

QUOTE(TLAK @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 08:12 AM) Amigo, what do Clayton's offensive stats have to do with his playing shortstop? Clayton has been and remains a pretty good defensive shortstop, his strength being steadiness. He has a good arm, not great and good range, not great but rarely pulls a boner like the other night. His D is what keeps him in the big leagues, so his mistakes were remarkable and Kornerko remarked on them. Defense alone does not a player make. If that was the case, no one would ever say Crediocre is bad. Whem someone says that a mediocre hitting, but solid defensive Shortstop is the "best they've ever played with" , then yes I count the EVERYTHING that player does. And if you'll read my post again, I gave props to Choice being a good defensive SS.

Pauly, if I could just show you a couple things right quick... Year Team G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB K SB CS AVG OBP SLG OPS 2001 CWS 135 433 62 114 21 4 9 60 33 72 10 7.263 .315 .393 .708 2002 CWS 112 342 51 86 14 2 7 35 20 67 5 1.251 .295 .366 .661 What part of The Choice's game was "best ever" may I ask while he was here? His fantastic OBP? Those 15 SBs he got in 247 games? Maybe those 53 Walks he took! I don't doubt that Choice had a pretty solid defensive game, but no way in hell does he posess an arm like Uribe, and Uribe has a HELLUVA lot more offensive ability than K-layton.

"Resolve" and "DOA" are quickly becoming favorite tracks on the 1st CD. Although I normally avoid MTV like the plague, they had a pretty cool 24 hours with the Foo Fighters on MTV2. From noon EST saturday till noon EST sunday, The boys from Foo took over the MTV studio and pretty much stayed up 24 hours straight just doing whatever they wanted. Quite enjoyable.
