QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 09:00 PM) Oh I'm sure Lance could find one of Ozzie's relatives to get hitched to. I really wonder what the relationship is between Ozzie and Freddy. Freddy has been under the impression he was almost traded last winter, and KW has done nothing but deny it, and told Freddy to his face it isn't true. You would think Ozzie knows exactly what KW is up to. Either Ozzie is feeding Freddy some BS, maybe to try to kick start his fat ass, or KW is lying.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 08:59 PM) She was a Canadian...does that mean you get more "bang" for your buck? I think it does.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 08:56 PM) Come on guys, are you IN or OUT? I think if I would have accepted the offer from the woman who propositioned me last night, I really wouldn't know.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 08:52 PM) .81, .96, 2.44, 1.54 What are these numbers? What you blew the last 4 times you were stopped for DUI?

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 08:52 PM) Flash has got to be happy with Broadway's showing tonight. If Ozzie is the White Sox manager for the forseeable future, when does Broadway crack the Sox rotation assuming he keeps putting up good numbers? 2010?

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 08:49 PM) What about that Brendan McCartney guy? I haven't heard about him in forever. At least there was a sighting of him last night. I was checking my milk cartons when I eat my cereal in the morning.

QUOTE(Allsox @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 08:42 PM) In all fairness, Brian was screwed from the second Oz called him to pinch hit. Should have left Pods in and try to bunt with two strikes. I would have made him bunt with 2 strikes. Then I would have used Anderson as a defensive sub.

QUOTE(tony72 @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 08:40 PM) Briallant move Ozzie ! At least the defense is now improved. Pods would have K'd too.

I don't like BA's chances with 1 strike.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 08:37 PM) I don't care what happens in this AB, but how can one player just be so fundamentally bad? The bigger question is how many times management has to see it to do something about it?

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 08:35 PM) Here comes Pods in a bunt situation. He has to avoid bunting into a DP. First attempt was awful. Mackowiak better be careful at 2nd base. Its a good thing is Mackowiak on 2nd. He the best baserunner on the team. Make him bunt with 2 strikes. He'll still probably take strike 3 looking.

Uribe walked, the apocolypse is near.

QUOTE(JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 08:30 PM) not even close check yankees staff aside from moose and wang, they got pavano, wright, and big unit and thats a whole lot of expensive crap right there The funny thing is the Sox almost signed Wright, explored a trade for the Big Unit, and had some interest in Pavano until his price skyrocketed.

QUOTE(cgaudin @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 08:23 PM) This may be the silver lining. Lot of folks drinkin' the Thome kool-aid. I like Thome....just not in the 3 spot. Thome's obp is approx. 30 points higher than Jermaine's. Many of JD's RBI have been Thome. Be careful what you wish for.

QUOTE(cgaudin @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 08:21 PM) You look a little winded there, Freddy. Why don't you go shower, freshen up, do a bong or two. Just relax......you schmuck. You know Freddy has a frisbee with weed and seeds and stems all divided up in his hotel room.

Yet another game when the starter can't make it thru 6, and still was given too long of a leash.

Freddy doesn't like the call. Look for an implosion.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 08:16 PM) Paging the bullpen. this is ridiculous.

Obviously getting hit by a ball thrown by Pods will not hurt.

QUOTE(kwolf68 @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 08:13 PM) It does appear to me Freddy has a better fastball tonight. He's found a couple more MPH the last couple innings, but he's having a tough time getting it close to the plate. 91 used to be nice and easy for him.

This is a very important game for the Tigers. Just ask Hawk.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 08:08 PM) On the radio this morning, the media members that were in the clubhouse after the game didn't think it was Ozzie's decision. If it wasn't Ozzie, then I would think it was Cora.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 08:05 PM) I didn't think about this last night, but anyone else find it interesting that in a game where Ozzie gets tossed, whoever was in charge made the decision to play Gload in LF over Pods? It seems like it's been forever since AJP hit a liner for a base hit. I thought it was even more interesting, because when Gload PH it was leading off an inning. I still think Ozzie is making the call.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 08:02 PM) Oh...so Milkman's mom was working last night? The milkman is going to be hot. Its undergoing some renovations, so I didn't see the horse area.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 07:58 PM) Might have to make a trip up to MEEEECHigan next season with a stop in Windsor. I don't know how old you are, but if you're 19-25, you really need to go there at least once. They've got great bars, strip clubs and a nice casino. We stayed at the Hilton we got on priceline for $40 a night.
