QUOTE(Sonik22 @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 01:30 PM) all this fish talk has me thinking long john silvers, whos comin with me? I've never made it out of a Long John Silver's without serious stomach pains in my life. 4 times. Never again.

Maybe Coop could work with the Widge. If anyone could fix him, Coop can.

Contreras doesn't have his dominating stuff yet, but he's getting the job done. I think its because the Widge is behind the dish.

QUOTE(Maverick0984 @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 01:26 PM) at least we added to Rogers pitchcount a bit...and noone used up their big hit for the game yet... I rather face Rogers than the Tigers bullpen.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 01:24 PM) Someone please, give me a reason that Chris Widger is on this team. I could tell you, but I'd get banned.

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 01:23 PM) you know Widger will come through!!!! Unfortunately it will be in the beer league he'll surely be playing in next summer.

I hate when weak hitters wear sunglasses at the plate.

The Widge is due.

Good job Crede. Don't stop now. The Sox need to get at least 2 this inning.

There's your bloop jphat.

DJ with the jinx. A DP ball is looming.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 01:14 PM) Yep and with all the Ben Broussard rumors out there, I really think he'll be starting at 1B on Opening Day next season. Besides the fact that he's a horrible catcher, getting him away from catching will probably make him an even better offensive player. It really makes no sense keeping him behind the plate.

QUOTE(BFirebird @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 01:12 PM) He can't throw out anybody. With Garcia and Contreras on the mound, it really would matter if you had Johnny Bench or a guy with no arms catching, they are going to steal. I would like to see the offense start running a little more BTW>

Our pitchers are going to have to re-learn how to win games when the offense provides only 2 or 3 or 4 runs. I think the offense is very due for a slowdown.

There's a break.

But as Hawk says, this is a much bigger game for Detroit than it is for the Sox.

QUOTE(Jimbo @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 01:04 PM) Anyone else question why ozzie is going with the bench team, while leyland has his starters in?? Don't you understand. Ozzie is resting these guys so they will be strong for their tee times in October.

Stupid. Why does Ichuchi who is a dangerous hitter, bunt in the first inning, and a guy like Widger who has been looking for a hit longer than The Go Go's, doesn't. Failing to bunt there cost the Sox a run.

I don't understand not bunting.

Has anyone ever heard anyone use the word "equadistant" other than Hawk?

QUOTE(SouthSidePride05 @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 12:52 PM) We need to catch a few breaks today, have a few lucky bounces go our way, and get back home as soon as possible. The next homestand is completely sold out, and I hope the crowd sparks the energy back into this team. I heard Hawk say its sold out. How come tickets are available on Ticketmaster?

Mack would have had it.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 12:49 PM) Rogers has faced the minimum through 2 It will never last. We have been told Rogers is absolutely terrible in the second half. The Tigers should be falling apart pretty soon.

If Fields is in LF next year, they probably should start having him play LF at Charlotte right now. No need to worry about the leadoff hitter for next year yet. There will be some roster shuffling in the offseason. The leadoff guy is only guaranteed to leadoff once a game, and anyone can take strike 3 like Pods has been doing as of late.

I think Rozner is crazy myself about this one. I was just saying he has top contacts with the White Sox, and he may have heard the White Sox may be looking for an upgrade in LF, and Gonzalez is his buddy who used to play for the Cubs so he threw him out there even though it makes no sense.
