EVERETT....YES GARCIA....YES SHINGO....YES Roadtrip was not that bad anymore

3-0 GOOD GUYS

GONG SHINGO TIME

Yes, for 3 mill next year (and free thisyear), I would give up Rauch any day of the week plus two days on weekends

How good is Everett in his pitch selection? He has at least 3 walks since joining with the Sox Of course his HR in the first game, and 2/3 for 2 RBIs today is awesome too Kenny made awesome deals.....this win is all Everett + Garcia

Oz could have removed Politte after one pitch if needed Again, Oz needs to be clear with his signs...I do not care how much of an idiot the ump decides to be...be clear, and there is no situation

This is the second time there has a been a situation (first time in Oakland on this trip) where Ozzie has confused folks with his signs Doesn't he get it? Be simple and be clear

I finally got the chance to check out the game and all I will say is: I LUUUUUUUUV SHUT OUTS (OF THE BAD GUYS)

He may have not allowed many inherited runners to score, but have you looked at how many runnes Neil has put on base himself? Walks and wild pitches are a strong part of him

Now the Kenny bashers may realize how impt it was to get Everett here

Take your Sox blinders off, this is true Buerhle is not ever going to be confused with Nolan Ryan

The allegations against the Trib has always been unfounded...I have been saying it forever I have seen very good representation of the Sox every time they have done something that deserved it Such baseles whining is what give sus Sox fans the bad name to people like Moronnotti.....we really need to quit with this baseless Trib bashing....sorry it ain't true

Why is Uribe at 0.272 hitting after Crede?

Mark Girlie :puke

With Buerhle pitching no lead is safe....especially against this Indians line up I wish we had capitalized more in the first inning, because I expect corpse-ball, swinging for the fences soon now that we have the lead from our O

Rowand: "What the f$$$ did he just say?"

Crede's suckiness continues....refer to my 3B upgrade thread for suggestions on how do we deal with it?

Paulie should bunt here to make up for yesterday Just kidding folks...

Nobody is giving up on him? Getting a 3B vet who can help us down the stretch and put Crede on the bench or getting reps in the minors is not so bad short term and long term. See my first post. I want a vet who's contract expires soon (next year or year after) That way the vet can also be back up IF for next year when Jose might be gone (who is our 3B back up then - Uribe?)

On a serious note, manager of a MLB team should be classified as one of the most over-rated jobs ever

So when we could not play Ozzie ball with a worse line up in the first half of the year, it was all Manuel's fault, and now it is "we do not have the players to play small-ball, let's face it"

If we are going for it this year, how about trying to get someone like Vinny Castilla for 3B? The Rockies must be looking at selling their vets ... What is his contract status? Anyone know? If we can get him for only one more year at a decent salary, I would go for it and use Crede as bench IF instead (and send Gload down) I am not sure Crede will be useful down the stretch.....he is horrible at the plate with his swings and willbe automatic out in the playoffs Someone like Castilla, hitting >0.280 and will hit >30 dingers for the year would be huge in my mind

Agreed 100% But don't you know there are idiots here who believe Paulie should never bunt because the fat turd gets paid to hit HRs? How dare you state the obvious? Thank God we are playing Ozzie small-ball or else ....

Ben Davis and his 0.087 avg will save the day rolleyeyes.gif
