QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 01:29 PM) I don't intend this for you, but this has been on my mind.....f*** what the Tigers are doing right now. They're playing out of their minds, and there's nothing we can do about it. In all honesty, I'm more concerned with what the Yanks are doing, as they're the likely prime competition for the WC. If the Tigers keep throwing shutouts every 4th game, we're not going to win the division. Completely understand but I do think the tigers will drop a few which is why we need to stay close. Dropping 4-6 games back will kill us. staying 1-2 games back we can sneak up on them. The tigers will go on a losing streak and staying close is important. the yankees will get better. I really believe we will need to win the division.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 01:22 PM) I know it sounds foolish questioning Ozzie after the success we've had, but one of my main complaints has always been that he doesn't have a good feel for taking out his starting pitchers before more damage can be done. In regards to not ph for Contreras, I'm speechless. it was dumb considering how he was pitching. Now they are in a hole with a rain delay. They need to stay close to the Tigers. Its just a plain dumb move.

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 01:20 PM) I sometimes wonder and even cringe at things Ozzie does and sdays, but with 99 wins and the WS last year and second best record in MLB this season so far, I think I will let Ozzie manage. i think there is added pressure this year, as the Tigers are a better ball club than us. Falling behind them further makes for anxiety. In addition, we now know that rain was coming, so why would Ozzie stick with contrares? He had an opportunity to tie the game, now he is in a deep hole. Despite the World series, we can as fans second guess. its why we watch.

now its raining, I think we blew a chance to tie the game last inning. bad decision.

bad move by ozzie, he will end up pulling him after next inning anyway. Dumb move. But maybe if andersen gets to third he would have pinch hit to get a fly ball. eitherway they are pitching bad, making mistakes and Ozzie screwed up. it all adds up to a loss today.

I agree the last several starts he has not been the same guy. Today he flat out sucks.

i have been out and just logged on, does count have velocity on his pitches or is it like last time out.

sorry guys, but what did Ozzie say today about mariano Duncan? is it in a thread somewhere?

QUOTE(soxunited @ Jun 27, 2006 -> 08:30 PM) . . meanwhile in Minnesota, Liriano already has 7 k's through 5 on 57 pitches, very impressive we will deal with the twinks next year.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jun 27, 2006 -> 08:28 PM) Isn't it amazing how it works out way more then not? I agree thats my point, he does the wrong thing and it works out. he obviously knows a hell of lot more than I do. i sit here like the aflack duck, wondering why the hell he does stuff.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 27, 2006 -> 08:25 PM) Nice!!! I still think it was the wrong choice to not have PK bat there, but I'll take it. I just had an epiphany about how spoiled we are when I make a comment about wanting someone to hit for Jim Thome. The right call would have been konerko, both for bat and defense. i have been questioning Ozzie for years, he always does this crap and looks good doing it.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 27, 2006 -> 08:21 PM) Last year, the ticket brokers by the El were selling tickets for face. Yea I will be going as well. I go every year. Its actually alot of fun despite the trailer trash comments which seem to come out when we are winning.

QUOTE(illinilaw08 @ Jun 27, 2006 -> 08:17 PM) True, but honestly why are they playing the Dodgers? Shouldnt the Twins be playing the NL Central like the rest of the division? It is a great question. I have no idea why. Also why would we play Pitt instead of the brewers. the whole idea is to match up teams and create great rivalrys. The brewers and the sox should have played this year.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 01:00 PM) i was just saying the same thing the other day... ohhh no, he did not just bust out "your parents must be very proud of you." Your not too old for that are you? Doesn't seem like it.

QUOTE(Cuck the Fubs @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 12:54 PM) Don't do that. Just say f*** off to them, this is a free country ahh nicely put, your parents must be very proud of you.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 12:49 PM) I love all these baseball managers around here. :rolly and hitting coaches.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 25, 2006 -> 11:49 PM) Great comeback tonight. It's a thrill to see this team never give up. We just couldn't catch a break in extra innings. One thing I will say is that Ozzie has got to find a way to use McCarthy more. He's just not very effective when he pitches one or two times a week. He had nothing on his pitches tonight. This was the second night in a row he pitched. Maybe thats why he had nothing on his pitches.

QUOTE(South Side Fireworks Man @ Jun 25, 2006 -> 11:45 PM) The Sox didn't lose this game for lack of defense at 3B or RF. Dye wouldn't have caught that ball either and Tavarez can fly. We lost this game because Vazquez pitched like s*** again tonight. although true, if he would not have dived and kept the ball in front of him the guy most likely stays at second.

QUOTE(tigerfan @ Jun 25, 2006 -> 11:42 PM) You do realize I was paying you a compliment right? As frustrating as it's been to see you guys win and win and win and comeback like you have, gotta give credit where it's due. I'd say it's definitely due here. The fact that you were down 9-1, and rallied to tie it is amazing to me. Tigerfan I think we all realize that, we are just pissed and tired right now, and now a game and a half behind the pussycats with Houston going there with no bullpen.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 25, 2006 -> 11:35 PM) You're the most annoying poster I've seen on this board...and that's hard to FATHOM. careful sensitivity training is in season.

its over now. That was a huge swing. We get out of that inning and we are in the game ready to increase Oswalts pitch count. Now we are done. Its completely over. vasquez officially sucks. i hate the bastard.

god damn it. Piece of s***, 0-2, unreal this guy is a dumb ass.

you can jam this guy

Does Peter Gammons have an original thought or does he just look on the internet for rumors? We need a K right here.

could be and I would hate that
