i'm ok with losing games like yesterday. i'm not ok with losing because of an umpire.
Come on. Either way, Kazmir and Shields had jack sh*t and we scored 6 runs combined. But yeah, it's the umps fault Swisher isn't protecting on 3-2.

Why does everyone love Swish so much? He must lead the league in called 3rd strikes.
If I answer your question, you have to change your avatar.
Okay- they love him because "he is a good clubhouse" guy and he's funny and good with the media and keeps people relaxed and all that BS. Otherwise- he's the biggest disappointment of the year for the Sox IMO.
QUOTE (BlackBetsy @ Oct 3, 2008 -> 06:38 PM)
I tell you what, Swish has got to cinch it up and hunker down right here.
Or just do his routine "just missed it" pop-out to short LF.

CB Bucknor is MVP for the Rays tonight...the 0-1 to Iwamura, the two strikes to Ramirez, the Ks of Uribe and BA...silly, silly calls.
HAWK! How's it going, buddy?
QUOTE (spiderman @ Oct 3, 2008 -> 06:33 PM)
Roberts would be a great acquistion.
No kidding. A .290ish hitter every year with Cabrera like pop and 40 steals. And I'm not even mentioning his .370ish OBP every year.

After Mark's efforts in 2005 and down the stretch here, he deserves to be the #1 Sox fan favorite of all time.
I was just going to say this.
Mark has so much guts but pieces of crap like Uribe, Cabrera, and Anderson help him by doing nothing. What a load of sh*t. I can't wait until Buehrle and a few other guys say sh*t about OC after the year.
Way to stare at strike 3, Juan, you a**clown. And Anderson- go away. You're a 9th inning defensive replacement and nothing else.
QUOTE (Reddy @ Oct 3, 2008 -> 06:30 PM)
i honestly think it's walk. every guy we bring in suddenly stops hitting. there's gotta be something to that
Yeah, like AJ, Quentin, Ramirez, Podsednik, Iguchi, and Dye.
QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Oct 3, 2008 -> 06:14 PM)
The word of the off-season needs to be "balance"
Amen. We have a 15 win/3.6 ERA guy in Buehrle, a potential 15/3.5 guy in Danks, and an 17/3.4 guy in Floyd next year, and this is what our offense does.
f*** Beltre- go out and get freaking Brian Roberts. Having nobody on EVER for our 3-4 is pathetic.
I'm so tired of this.
What did Kazmir do, walk 5 guys, and we got 2 runs? He had nothing today, just like Shields yesterday, and we have 2 runs. Unbelievable. My high school team could have executed better then this.
How did Ramirez not rip that last pitch? Change-up, high and out, and he hit a weak liner to short. This is ghey.
I just can't get over Swisher over Wise and Thome over Griffey DHing.
I think with Kazmir's wildness of late might be the reason Thome is in there, but I can't fathom why Swisher is in there.

He's got a great shot at making the rotation next year.
I was going to say that.
He is auditioning for a spot as our #5 next year.
QUOTE (SoxFan101 @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 01:51 PM)
Wow thats pretty badass, the Ray tank lol
Yeah. I think like 4 guys hit it in there this year.
Way to get it going, AJ.

Vazquez s***s his pants with the lead,settles down when he s down in the score,WTF
That's the way it works with Go to Jell Javy.
