Ray Liotta? he is a little old to be playing baseball isnt he? I mean he was good in Field of Dreams and all, but still...

Gordon at $7 mill and bidding against the Spankmees = no thank you.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 13, 2005 -> 06:11 AM) Well, he's facing the Indians again so the odds are in his favor... Contreras vs. Cleveland: 3 career starts (2 starts last season and 1 this season) 1-0 record 1.31 ERA 0.92 WHIP .195 BAA 20.2 IP 15 H 3 R 3 ER 0 HR 4 BB 19 SO That's pretty sick. Those are rpetty convincing numbers against teh Tribe. Lets hope we get Jose some run support, we are about due for an offensive breakout game IMO. Lets make this a game where we don't have to worry about a save!

Patience Grasshopper....Marte will be fine. If theres a reliever out there that you want to worry about, make it Politte....until I see him have 3-4 solid appearances, I'm worried. Otherwise, I like our pen.

my mlb.tv has been a lil flaky here lately...just stops after 10 minutes or so, sometimes showing the Sox game while having the Reds audio going. But it usually sorts itself out fast enough.

OMG!! Starting players got a day off....stop the presses! Listen, we played a day game, after travelling, AFTER a road game. Guess what, guys need days off, they aren't f***ing robots. As for the Shingo loss...yes, Ozzie used the bullpen incorrectly. It happens, he still shouldnt have had to worry when he had his closer on teh mound, 2 outs, and a 2 run lead. You CAN'T question that, it was Shingos game to lose, unfortunately he chose to do just that. And if I hear one more goddamn whine about "Crede shouldn't have tried to do his job and stop the ball!!" I'm gonna start spitting up blood. Hello, it is the 3rd basemans job to keep the ball in teh infield, period. He took a shot, he missed. He didn't groove the pitch to Hunter that I recall...

I'm tellin' ya fellas....ya gotta want that Mad Cow Bell!! I got a fever, and the only prescription is more Mad Cow Bell!! wait, thats not how it goes...

Yep, those are pretty bad... I'm waiting on the 4th outfielder to be called into play, and someone to take Helton a beer to drink while playing first base, cause those unis are straight outta the local softball league

I boycott that goddamn Bob Rohrman and his mindnumbingly irritating commercials during Sox games... "Theres only 1, Bob ROAR-man!!" :puke

6 games, 4 wins, 2 series won.. Even the simplest math will show you that if you win every series, you win 100+ games. Will we win every series? no, but 2 out of every 3 in general shuld be enough to satisfy any fan. Likes: Iguchi - catching on fast, playing solid D at 2nd, and starting to see the pitches very well Pods - doing his thing on the basepaths early and often. If we get a .270-.275 average outta him, we are good IMO, cause he will be on base enough to do his thing. Starting Pitching - Up until today, 5 starts, 5 QUALITY starts. Garland can give me 6 IP and 3 ER every 5th day and I'm ecstatic. Dislikes: - Unfounded grief from Sox "fans" about every minute thing in a loss. "Crede shouldnt have tried to do his job!" "Shingo sucks! He blew a save omg!" "Why did Ozzie use all our pitchers so early, now we are screwed!" Yeah, 162 games folks, there are gonna be 60 losses, there are gonna be 60 wins. Those other 42 games are teh ones that matter. Rowand, Crede slow Offensive starts - Every year, Crede starts in a funk. Its like clockwork by now, we should expect it. Just always hope that this is the year it doesnt happen. Luckily, he will be fine and can always rely on his defense to get him by. Rowand, I didnt see that coming. He was absolutely scalding the ball in ST. Think ST lasted too long for him. All I'm saying is hang tight guys, its gonna be a fun season! Just don't get too bent over losses, cause guess what....EVERY team has them!! I know, its hard to believe.

QUOTE(winodj @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 09:07 AM) I'm offended that I'm just in the NIT of mods. I've been comin on strong lately....

indeed....lets focus on overcoming the pitching matchups and taking 2 out of 3 from these asshats. I wanna see you bring it tomorrow Jonny G!

I might get a bit torched for it, but man I'm tired of seeing 5 ribbons on someones car window. Great, you wan't everyone to think you are passionate about a cause...there are better, MUCH better ways to show it than putting f***ing gargantuan ribbons all over your back window. Go do something that might actually help teh cause...

TBH here, the pitching matchups are not in our favor at all...my heart says I'll be happy with a 2-1 series win here, but my head says to expect a 1-2 series loss.

WTF Heads....I'm the friggin play in game? Apu, lets protest...

enough guys...don't start bickering in a damn Gameday thread. Lets just all sit here and watch as we scoer a run in the 9th and win..

when you throw back to back middle-in fastballs at 85ish MPH...they are gonna go a LONG way the other way...
