Were not gettin 7 runs off Zambrano, better hope their bullpen implodes again or were toast for today

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 01:04 AM) What the f*** does beleaguered mean? Does it really matter as long as it comes from the mouth of Kalapse?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 10:00 PM) I have no problem with criticism of any player but when you single out Anderson because he's hitting .170 I have a serious problem with that. People are totally ignoring what the guy has done recently: .250 BA | .425 SLG% | 1 HR | 6 RBI | 7 R | 5 2B | over last 12 You want him gone because he can't get a bunt down and is batting .170 well guess what he's not going to have a very good batting average by the end of the year, that's just the way it works when you start the year as s***ty as he did, he could hit .250 for the rest of the year which would be awesome and his BA will still look like s***. I have no problem with warranted criticism but this IMO is just ridiculous. Kalapse I usually agree with you, but not here.. a .250 batting average over the past 12 games doesnt really make me feel all that better, thats not the greatest stretch, however, if he can show something like that over a stretch of a month then I will feel somewhat relieved with the situation.. Theres no denying that his defense is fantastic, but his offense leaves something to be desired and as long as he can keep it up like hes been doing, then we will more than likely be fine with him hitting in the 9 hole.. Honestly, at this very moment I dont think we need a replacement but like I said earlier if this goes on all through this month were gonna have to get some kind of replacement for this season because a sub .200 avg from him is going to cost us somewhere down the line IMO

Yo, We have 3 new openings in the league, we are about to head into 2011 currently we are in the offseason so now would be the time to join so you can get your team as situated as possible.. We currently have 3 available teams, but there are at least 2 more teams who are being monitored closely and could be open as soon as mid 2011. So signing up now and getting a team or just getting on the waiting list would be beneficial for you.. Current Available Teams Las Vegas Texas San Francisco This is a great league and is run very well. This is a very active league and really stress GM's to be as active as possible, its one of the reasons this league has been running for quite a while now. We sim about every other day, everything is done timely and when its suppose to be done. I encourage all of you who like OOTP leagues or maybe want to try it out for the first time to sign up and get a team.. youll enjoy this league. League Boards Team Pages Looking forward to seeing some people sign up in the waiting list and fill these teams with reliable GM's, also please remember to put my name "TRU" in the referred by portion

All this "We have the top offense" isnt gettin it done for me.. It just makes me see that we could be even BETTER than we currently are without an automatic out at the end of the lineup.. We are almost like a National League team playing in the AL, sooner or later its going to start costing us no matter what the guys in front of him are doing.. I surely dont want to go into the playoffs with a .170 hitter when he could be up in crucial situations

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 01:06 AM) Also true, however there are a lot of people that can look amazingly different by having professional photos done

haha man, how embarassing

YIKES Do not be fooled by the magic of photo shoots..

ugh... the Tigers Beat SD 4-1

I will Riot if Venom is not shown in this movie as Venom

1,2 No one out for Morgan Ensberg

Venom is in it There will be 4 villians, 3 have been confirmed... Sandman, Green Goblin, Venom... there has been speculation the 4th would be either The Lizard or Carnage

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 10:26 PM) Jeez, this thread is actually pretty interesting, lets try and talk about that and not piss all over each other. I was hoping for some good discussion about what KW said, because I think it's pretty damn clear that he's tired of Ozzie's mouth, and if Ozzie doesn't stop making the organization look like chickens***, he's going to make a change regardless of the team's performance. I heard KW's interview on WSCR the other night, and he sounded like a tired man: tired of defending Ozzie, tired of hearing his mouth go off. He said that he loved Ozzie like a brother, but that Ozzie is walking down a path of ruin. I think KW is the only man Ozzie respects enough in the organization (him and JR maybe) to listen to, and an intervention is needed. Ozzie's interview about "getting nasty with the media" and refusing to go to sensitive training just confirms that fact. Well, even though I dont think itll happen.. it would be a huge mistake to axe him anytime soon, I think it would hurt the team.. if anything ide wait till the season is over, but even then, who the hell would we get to replace him? Dusty Baker might be out there

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 10:16 PM) Well some of us do . Agreed though, if any Tiger fans want to bring some intelligent conversation here then you're very welcome. Problem is they all wont, and it could eventually be a problem.. which it is at most boards where they allow other teams fans to join an converce.. especially since both of us have different views obviously and then when one doesnt agree with another, itll be a lot of work for the mods

QUOTE(loltrain @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 09:42 PM) The point is, there are some Sox fans who seem to think the Tigers didn't deserve to tie the game, Izzy just blew it. So by that token, the Chisox didn't deserve to win today it was merely Chad Qualls sucking. I don't agree with either of course. A grand slam in the 7th inning isnt the same as a closer blowing a 9th inning lead.. but I do agree with you that neither are lucky or undeserved thats just how the game plays out

Nice thread title :headshake

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 09:07 PM) Apparently Houston want to trade up for the #2 or #4 pick now. They're going to offer Howard or Swift to do so, and try to get Brandon Roy or Tyrus Thomas. Yeah good luck with that one.. What is it looking like for us to get Rudy DBAHO?.. Prolly not as good if Houston is tryin to move up

QUOTE(Felix @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 11:35 AM) You'd be a fool for doing so. Liriano, easily. Still taking Garland

QUOTE(WCSox @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 04:00 PM) From what I heard on the radio cast, it didn't sound like he got much help from his defense today. That said, he still has to pitch better. It'll be interesting to see what happens in the offseason. He didnt, and I think he pitched a lot better than what people are giving him credit for.. yes the four walks (not counting the intentional) was a problem.. but they were not hitting him hard, Crede dropped a pop up foul that was in his glove and then missed two line drives, both hitting his glove, and he has made MUCH more difficult plays than those.. Then Mack in centerfield was just brutal It wasnt a good performance by Garland today but leaving the game losing 5-1 was not a great way to tell how he pitched because at LEAST 3 of those runs came from mishaps in the field that are usually routine plays for us

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 01:39 PM) Was Garland that bad or was there bad defense in the game or an ump that wasn't calling the low strike? There have been 4 plays on defense now that SHOULD be made that werent that either kept the inning alive or allowed runners to advance to 3rd.. Garland has not thrown great but you cant tack this all on him, if those plays are made this game is nothing like it is now.. and they were plays that should be made, especially by Crede and Mack is just an embarassment out there in CF

3 plays that should be made on D so far, we better pick it up

Ide take Garland, so im writing him in..

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jun 23, 2006 -> 04:28 PM) Last time I heard that was in October of last year. We made out alright. RIP EM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats what all the Astros fans said here in the World Series... but as we all know, we beat 5swalt

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 23, 2006 -> 10:46 PM) Technicalities would say that it's the same city, same team name, same streak. It aint the same.. Also, Buchholtz is not that good.. but with our inept way of handling rookies we are either gonna get shut down or crush him IMO

Houston has not played well at all lately, and they suck on the road.. We should have 2/3 in the bag for this series with a good possibility for a sweep.. Luckily since I live in Houston ill get to see all the games, ill be lookin forward to seeing Contreras extend his streak tonight!!
