QUOTE(shoota @ Aug 28, 2006 -> 11:45 AM) All relief pitchers are not equal. Since Cotts and Riske are worse than McCarthy, MacDougal, Thornton and Jenks, the smarter (and obvious) move would have been to use them to finish such an important and winnable ballgame. Win or lose, Ozzie needed to go with his best. It's very questionable whether Riske is worse than B-Mac, or that matter Thornton so far this season. Compare the stats; Riske - 2.86 ERA (for the Sox), 28.1IP, 20/13 K/BB ratio, .226 BAA, 3HR. B-Mac - 3.82 ERA, 70.2IP, 50/24 K/BB ratio, .226 BAA, 12HR. Thornton - 3.38 ERA, 45.1IP, 41/19 K/BB ratio, .220 BAA, 4HR. Riske has a ERA+ of 163, B-Mac 122, and Thornton 138.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 28, 2006 -> 10:50 AM) I give it about 3 months before he's named the Cubs manager. Dusty to Seattle to replace Hargrove, with Girardi going to the Cubs to replace Dusty. Wonder if Lou Pinella will get a job this off-season, especially if the Phils stick with Charlie Manuel.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 28, 2006 -> 10:46 AM) Running Down a Dream - Tom Petty Good song that.

BA's up to .231 now. He could actually get up to .250 at the end of the season which would be an amazing achievement after the way he started the season. Fantastic start by Mark today, exactly what we needed for this team. Hopefully the other SP's (besides Garland) can step up to the plate as well.

All I can say, that's hard enough to remember now, I dunno how the heck you would do it if you were actually drunk.

I'm absolutely terrible with anything remotely spicy, and it annoys the heck out of me. It's fun looking up all of these foods on wikipedia though and see what they've made of.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 06:23 PM) I should probably use my skills in poker then. You have skills?

How ignorant of me to forget about The Widge's Greatness.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 04:01 PM) Some big rumors today. Tevez is suposedly close to signing with an EPL team and it looks like Mark van Bommel is headed to Bayern Munich. And on top of that, Bolton lost. My money's on Tevez to Man Yoo by the end of the week. We lost to Liverpool 2-1 on the 100th anniversary of the Kop. Lee Bowyer missed an absolute sitter that had me yelling profanities at him (which he would be used to BTW) for the remainder of the game.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 04:42 PM) Anyone else remember Ivan stories? Those always brightened up a crappy day. Yes please continue. But you have to be as drunk as I was the other night to do so.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 04:42 PM) I don't even care anymore if they move Brandon into the rotation or not. Unless we can clone him 4 times, it won't mean anything anyway. This starting rotation (outside of Garland) has been despicable. Isn't it amazing how earlier in the season, it was the complete opposite of this statement. How things have turned on their head.

Kiwi's have the most annoying accent in the world. Prove me wrong folks, prove me wrong.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 03:41 PM) You're in luck, Flash A commenter at my site says that's exactly what he has been doing, with him headed to the rotation September 1. The reason for the wait appears to be waiting for rosters to expand so they could add an arm or two to the pen, which seems a bit odd to me. Almost as if the Sox intend to go with a 6-man rotation. I still can't see Ozzie removing anyone from the rotation without a DL trip, and I think the only candidate for that, based on recent performance and Ozzie's post-game quotes is Contreras. Maybe it just might be happening after all, and Ozzie's patience has just run out with the performance of our starters.

Sweeney has a .804 OPS overall. Since the ASB however, he has splits of .318/.393/.578, an OPS of .971. Now compare that with BA who had a .829 OPS last season. Needless to say, if you don't consider Sweeney a top prospect right now, well I dunno.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 07:10 AM) pedicures are cool. I've been wearing Tevas since about March, and my feet have gotten in very sad shape. Pedicures are sooooo cool. If I wasn't so terminally white, I think I could dance. Seeing a brief minute of an old Queer Eye episode the other day, this guy had hideous feet and got a pedicure, they said he had "Country Toes".

Vazquez's last few outings have actually been pretty good. He's got a 3.48 ERA in 5 starts this month so far.

So Willie Eyre?

Good job Bobby. C'mon we just need 1 run guys!!!!!

Heads are you sensing a BA HR coming up or is it just me?

Considering Nathan's the 4th Twinkies reliever to be used so far tonight, we're in a good spot here.

This has been one hell of a crazy game.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 12:05 PM) God damn that stupid f***ing sac fly. I will not tolerate that. It's a whole lot betta than a GIDP.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 11:57 AM) Why in the world do you pinch hit Cintron for Mack? Mack hasn't hit lefties very well this season FWIW. Don't know what Cintron's splits are against them though.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 11:55 AM) Wow. This AB=the season? I hate to overreact...but wow... Do you pinch hit with BA here?
