Why the f is Buehrle still in?

Can we please pull him before the lead is insurmountable.

I've seen quite enough of Buehrle for the day.

How about we just set it on a tee for them?

Buehrle has nothing today

Terrible

QUOTE (Karko's Throat Skin @ Aug 2, 2008 -> 03:30 PM) Never thought I would see the day where Juan Uribe is playing better defense than OC ??? If there is one thing Uribe has always been able to do it is play D. He can't hit, but he has always been good with the glove.

Nice job by OC keeping that in the infield.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 2, 2008 -> 03:26 PM) He took an absolutely terrible route to the Butler chopper, and then completely mistimed the Gordon liner. It would be nice if Buehrle could pitch over a defensive mistake for a change.

Who says Ken Griffey can't play CF? Nice catch

3-0 back to back by Thome and PK

Good execution by the Sox getting OC in. Nice to grab another early lead

What the f*** was OC thinking? Unbelievable. Why would you even consider stealing there. Way to take the bat out of Dye's hand. f***ing idiot

STFU about Carloz Gomez

I love Griffey

Is DJ high?

And we have our first reference to Carlos Gomez of the night. And in a comparison to Griffey no less.

Damn, I thought that had a chance

That pitch was low. If that gets called a strike neither pitcher should allow a run

I love Griffey already

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Aug 1, 2008 -> 11:43 AM) I also disagree with Depp being the Riddler. Maybe its because I associate Depp with Tim Burton and Tim Burtons fantasy world, but I dont know that Depp's character acting fits in with Nolan's version of the Batman universe. I understand that the Riddler is quite the jester/light hearted type of criminal, but at the same time i dont see Nolan going in that sort of a direction. But i digress, there was lots of poo-pooing the choice of Ledger as the Joker, and that was a stroke of brilliance. I dont know that the Riddler is as much of a lock as we all think he may be. There are so many criminals to choose from, and Nolan already stepped out of the "knowns" in Batman Begins by starting with Ras Al-Ghul, so he could go in a completely different direction. Milkman, Knighni pretty much nailed it. there have been a few different variations of the backstory, but its generally the same. A genius who starts out trying to help people and gets twisted by his own genius, he loves to leave clues etc The Riddler would not have to be portrayed a light hearted criminal. I could easily see him as some sort of deranged serial killer that kills for sport and challenges the cops to try to stop him.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 1, 2008 -> 11:36 AM) Is that a bad thing? Especially with Griffey and Thome in the lineup? Griffey's hitting .212 against lefties and has an OPS 116 points lower than he does against righties. And I'm still not sold that Thome has suddenly at his age figured out how to hit lefties but forgot how to hit righties. As long as he keeps going to left field Thome will be fairly effective against lefties. THe thing is I still have no confidence in him against lefty specialists late in games and that is where having Thome and Griffey back to back would be problematic.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 1, 2008 -> 11:19 AM) Yeah. Obsessive-Compulsive who was beaten by his father for being too smart. Cheated and tricked people for profit as a youth/younger adult. Moved up to tormenting Batman for the challenge. The other big thing with the riddler is he gives advance warning of his crimes to give crime enforcement and Batman a chance to stop him.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 10:30 PM) Hawk is citing our troubles in this dome every half inning. "Some places you just don't play well in." Well, guess what -- we have three remaining games against the Twins in the same stadium late September. It may be the deciding series in the division. Something needs to chance. Tell Guillen to put a muzzle on. Instruct Hawk to remove himself from Gomez's .254 ass. Hell, I'd love to hear Gullen guarantee a series victory next time around in Minnesota. Just SOMETHING to show we're confident in ourselves. Yes, in past seasons dismissing the Twins didn't help; but as of right now, what we're doing isn't either. This team is more talented than past seasons, and we've shown in two games the ability to get an early lead. Hawk was unbearable tonight. Carlos Gomez freaking sucks. He doesn't hit for average, doesn't get on base, his SB % is not good, he doesn't hit for power. He is essentially a worthless offensive player.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 10:28 PM) Great post. Sox sucked during the series. Bullpen was horrible again. Losing 3 of 4 to Twins really really sucks. So we're 3-4 on the trip heading into KC, a team that is very very used to playing us of late and actually playing pretty well after sweeping the A's on the road. Is anybody happy with 1-3 in Minnie? Bullpen was horrible and the defense was just as bad. Absolutely pathetic defense in the 8th inning tonight. Bad throws by AJ and Uribe and Swisher really needs to pick those. But I know that speed intimidated our players into not being able to make routine plays.
