Wake the f*** up offense...

Let's hope Showalter throws Jason Berken out there again.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 02:05 PM) Haha really? Are you just saying that or are you serious? I'd take Roberts, Markakis, and Scott on this team in a second.

Damn it.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 01:58 PM) Wow Kotsay, show a little freaking hustle please. Why do the two worst hitters on the Sox, Kotsay and AJP, get to show the least amount of hustle? Because they know Ozzie loves them.

They're making this way too easy for Guthrie.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 01:47 PM) Where did I say anything about who cares more? I merely pointed out that your argument was in fact the dumbest argument Ive seen on this board. I dont care who you are, how many games youve watched. Ive read 99% of your posts, they are for the most part self serving and trying to show the rest of us how much you know about baseball using metrics. Unfortunately I could train a monkey to read statistics and then make after the fact arguments about a player. But I dont care, lol. Thats why I went to 10-20 games the first 2 months of the season when the Sox were drawing less than 25k. How many did you go to? Seriously, lostfan's told us to stop b****ing at each other, you need to drop it. I already have.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 01:44 PM) Another out given away on the basepaths. At least Vizquel got to 2nd. Is there any advanced metric that measures outs recorded on the basepaths? http://palehosepariah.wordpress.com/2010/0...g-into-trouble/ EQBRR. We're not very good at base running.

Tie game! Rios FTW.

Oh come on Juan...

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 01:38 PM) I dont care as much as you? That will be 8 years Ive spent on this site. Thats 4x the amount of time youve spent on this site. And my guess is that Ive been spending "3 hours" watching the Sox daily before you were born. Last I checked it takes the same amount of energy to be optimistic and pessimistic. So Id rather hope for the best, then constantly b****ing about the worst. But to argue I care less than you, is one of the dumbest comments Ive ever seen on this site. And I was around when Brandofan posted. (Not that you knew who that was because you werent even here "caring" about the Sox) You saying you "care" more than me because you've spent 8 years on this site is a even worse argument. I've been a fan long before I joined this site or any other internet forum.

I hope Gordon's hand is alright.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 01:35 PM) didn't Kotsay pretty much win us a baseball game a few days ago? wtf am I reading. If you don't understand anything about WAR, then stop trying to knock it. Seriously. Do your research.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 01:32 PM) It just gets really old. There is no going back in time and changing the decision, so you might as well either: Today the DH is Konerko, so where is the beef about the "rotating DH". I just have never seen a group of people who are so damn pessimistic. I generally dont even read these threads because I just cant stand the negativity. If you dont believe the Sox can win this game and take the division, then what is the point of being a fan? I cant see how Id enjoy complaining about my favorite team every day. They have problems, they arent perfect, but their my damn team and Im going to hope they win even if they had 9 Omar's out there. Who said we didn't believe that they can? The fact is that we devout three hours a day to this team and then they do stupid s*** that pisses us off or worries us. If you can't see that then maybe you just don't care as much as we do.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 01:27 PM) Do you guys ever get tired of being negative? Basically unbearable to read these threads every day. Its 1 damn run in the 4th inning. You think Twins fans were jumping off a ledge down 4 to the Tribe and potentially losing 2 out of the last 3 from them? It's the freakin' Orioles. This team has played like this in the past three games. Worse yet, they scored a total of 3 runs off of two guys who had 20 combined losses and an ERA over 6 in the first two games. You tell me how we shouldn't be pissed off Mr. Happy happy joy joy.

This offense is just so damn frustrating...

Twins tie it.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 01:22 PM) That DH with the OPS over .930 of theirs started the rally. Our DH with a .660 OPS starts our next inning!

For the first time this year, I was actually hoping Kotsay would come up in a big RISP situation.

This offense is so bad right now...

It seems like Konerko's been striking out a lot recently.

Come on Paulie, we need another one of those doubles served into the right-center gap.

We've hit a ton of liners and we have 4 hits... The O's have hit one line drive, they have 5 hits and a run...

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 12:58 PM) Wow, really Mark? He's been serving up home runs to guys with no power lately.

Felix Pie...? Oh great...
