sox-r-us

I will not be surprised one bit if the Cubs won 3-0 or the Sox won 3-0 or it went any other way. We are not that great of a team, and the Cubs are not that bad of a team. Hopefully we win the series

QUOTE(sayitanitso @ Jun 8, 2005 -> 03:08 PM) I could believe it. Change your avatar damn it. Thanks to you, G-load got injured again

Ok enough of Ozzie....back to the game thread. ANyone know much about this Francis guy???? Can we hit him? How about match ups between our hitters vs Francis?

QUOTE(nvxplorer @ Jun 8, 2005 -> 05:23 AM) There's nothing wrong with criticizing the manager, but the thread title is uncalled for. Yes, the Sox seem to take only the first two of three, but unless you're suggesting a curse, there's plenty of blame to go around - especially the players themselves. (Hermanson's throwing error comes to mind right away.) I have absolutely no love for Timo Perez, but if the Sox are losing games based only on his presence, then they have much bigger problems than we realize. In other words, blaming Timo or even Ozzie for all the team's third game losses is ridiculous. It seems some here expect the Sox to be not 39-19, but 50-8. I agree about the poor baserunning, but it was Dye stealing second that enabled him to score on AJ's single. Imagine that. Jermaine Dye stealing bases while Uribe and Rowand get caught. nv Once the manager starts taking the 3rd game as a day off, it creeps to the players. Although the players may not intentionally relax during game 3's, I bet they unconsciously do not give 100% and make mental errors. And players are smart. They can see how Ozzie treats the 3rd game of a series.

Did not see this mentioned elsewhere....not even in the thread which announced SKiles had closed negs with the Bulls... http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...-home-headlines =========== Guess which f*** tard Skiles was referring to here.....yup Cotex boy it seems "I just wanted to bare my soul a little bit and have him do the same. I don't like to pick up a morning paper and see people bashing the owner of my team. That makes me feel very uncomfortable—let alone bashing me at the same time. It was clear to me it was a situation that was potentially getting very bad that really didn't need to be."

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 8, 2005 -> 05:17 AM) Here's my lineup prediction: - Ozuna, LF - Iguchi - Rowand - Konerko - Dye - Crede - Widger - Uribe - Hernandez Replace Dye or Kong with Timo and you are set

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Jun 8, 2005 -> 04:20 AM) Neal f***ing Cotts... thats right, just keep on hating him though hehe....seems t obe getting the job done just fine. It is Focking, not f***ing

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 8, 2005 -> 05:11 AM) Funny as f***. SSI damn I don't know how you came up with that s***. Since when is focking funny

I am amazed at how almost every thread on this board now becomes a Timo thread. Man, this guy is a true cancer. He is spreading throughout our organization, management and now even the fans. :banghead

Cubs-Suck23 Lighten up dude. Most of us here love Ozzie. And our statements are not based off one-off events. Do you realize how many game 3's of a series we have lost after winning the first 2? I guarantee you that Ozzie taking it easy in game 3 spreads to the players to a point where they do not care much either since the series is won. That is good and all, but in case you have not noticed, we are not 10 games ahead in the division and a lock to make the playoffs yet. There is a lot of baseball left, and a lot of games against those Twins. These game 3 losses can come back to bite us pretty quickly if we start taking days off. One more thing, you said somewhere that Paulie needs a day off once a week...WHAT????????? Are you kidding me? He does not need a day off every week. A catcher may, but a 1B certainly does not. Also, with off days, he does get many days off too.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 8, 2005 -> 04:59 AM) I'm not a Walker hater, but this is a really funny thread. Original post had me laughing and than SSI's was damn good too. Thanks for the laugh fellas

Why doesn't Ozzie get it though? He wants to play small ball right? Oh wait, he is the same guy who pinch hits Timo with Frank on the bench

I just splattered water all over my keyboard....STOP IT SSI....for God's sake

El Duque (6-1, 4.15 ERA) vs Francis (5-2, 5.03 ERA)...... Will Ozzie play his junk line up or will Ozzie make dumb BP decisions or will Ozzie abandon small ball this time? Discuss. And oh yes.....EAT s*** COLORADO BIATCHES PS: I am 3-0 in game threads so maybe my mojo will counter Ozzie's f***iness

QUOTE(ScottPodRulez22 @ Jun 8, 2005 -> 03:59 AM) send shingo to triple a, and let him get his control back. Then bring him back. No, let Shingo pitch in these interleague games especially when we have a decent lead (not often I know)....the NL teams have not seen much of him and hence will not be able to really get him like the Indians have

Doesn't Steff like Cotts though for different reasons than say some of you here do?

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 8, 2005 -> 03:58 AM) Uribe is one of the best defensive SS's in the game, don't move him from there. How many games has he played at third FWIW? Replace Joe Crede, fine, but do it with a third baseman not named Vinny Castilla. My boy Vinny needs to be here damn it

QUOTE(ottawa_sox @ Jun 8, 2005 -> 03:56 AM) We gotta keep winning baseball games. It doesn't seem to matter who is injured with the Twins. They fill with quality. I have a gut feeling Kenny will fortify the bullpen.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 8, 2005 -> 03:56 AM) I don't know why I found this funny, but it was.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 8, 2005 -> 03:54 AM) They are not going to replace Uribe when he is signed on a 3 year $10 million deal. But they can get a SS and put Uribe at 3B

Timo blows so much the thin air is gone

QUOTE(sayitanitso @ Jun 8, 2005 -> 03:49 AM) f***. You can change your avatar now :banghead

Twinks will not go anywhere any time soon.....we need to upgrade at 3B or SS at deadline if we are serious to go deep

The curse of Timo strikes

Count's ERA now at 3.12. He has been one of our better stories this year.
