June 20, 200421 yr This team didn't give up until Ozzie was stupid and left Cotts out there and he hung that huge cookie for a two run homer. GOD THIS GAME WAS SO WINNIABLE. Jackson wasn't so bad. Politte should never be allowed to pitch again (Worse then Koch ever was) Cotts should of been taken out after one inning. In such a close game we should of brought in Shingo (Which we did but WAY too late). I believe we could of still of tied but one run is alot fewer to go for then 3. GOD I'M SO PISSED! NO excuses for a guy like Munoz to start either when Diaz got nothing even resembling a fair chance. I mean when he starts on 10 days rest and then again on 3 days rest when he was making his major league debut is setting him up to fail and making it really hard on him. If we can't make a trade before next week for god sakes give Diaz a fair shot (On 5 days rest). Even all screwed up Diaz never pitched this bad...
June 20, 200421 yr Author enough with this minor league experiment. Trade these guys for a starter. also, Willie harris lost this game by not getting the bunt down.
June 20, 200421 yr You both make some good points. We didn't give up which bodes well and a lot of bad stuff happened as well. On to tomorrow as we continue to be a little better than mediocre team.
June 20, 200421 yr I can agree about that, Willie's horrendous bunt attempt just popped our momentum balloon.
June 20, 200421 yr Willie's bunt was horrific, but somebody's gotta pick him up. We're playing the 20-win Expos.
June 20, 200421 yr I can agree about that, Willie's horrendous bunt attempt just popped our momentum balloon. No Cotts was the nail in the Coffin. I don't blame him though because he should of never been out there for a second inning.
June 20, 200421 yr Sure Willie's bunt was horrid, but you can't say one missed bunt cost you the game when you give up 17 runs. Yes that bunt hurt us, but it didn't cost us the game.
June 20, 200421 yr Even though we lost the game that became winnable, I think this is the best I've felt after a loss this year, even though the pitching was s***, except for Shingo, who has retired the last 24 hitters he has faced. It was great how we battled back, and I really thought we were going to as well. I didn't get too upset after the 2nd inning, because I legitimately felt we had a shot at this game.
June 20, 200421 yr I SEE A TEAM THAT WON'T GIVE UP, AND I BELIEVE THIS TEAM GAINED THE BIG MOMENTUM. Can I get a fricken amen to that?
June 20, 200421 yr no, because we should have won in the eight, with two on nobody out...tie game at 15...because all you have to do is HIT IT IN THE OUTFIELD FOR CHRISTS SAKES!!! arglefarglefoofarah...uribe did nice though

Jeckle, who the hell would you have put in, shingo for the 8th and then if the sox do score put him back out there in the 9th. Adkins??? Damaso wasn't available tonight so keeping cotts in was the right thing to do. Anyways this game hurt because they got so close but this team definitely doesn't give up. Unfortunately Arnie and the bullpen were pathedic, willie's missed bunt attempt really put a dagger through my heart that hurt a lot. On the bright side the twins lost.
June 20, 200421 yr yeah, that!^ shingo throws 83...i cant imagine his arm is so fragile as to me unusable for 2 INNINGS!
June 20, 200421 yr In answer to your ? I would of used Shingo for 2 innings Has shingo had a 2 inning outing this year?? I'm not sure if he has and if he hasn't that probably wouldn't have been the best thing to do, there were 3 lefties coming up, cotts looked good that first inning and then he just got burned on a pitch that was almost unhittable and should have been ball 3. In my opinion ozzie did nothing wrong in that instance.
June 20, 200421 yr I trust Shingo a hell of alot more then Cotts to keep it close... So do I and so does everybody but the point I'm trying to make is I'm not sure if shingo has pitched 2 innings in a game this year, maybe he has but I think with 3 lefties coming up ozzie felt it was a good spot for neal.
June 20, 200421 yr Am I the only one who thinks it could have been a pitcher like Clemens on the mound tonight, and the Expos still would have lit him up? Somedays a team just has it all clicking, and tonight the Expos were going to step it up no matter who went out there.

The pitching was simply awful tonight. Munoz was the latest 5th starter that had no business in the world being there and Politte makes Billy Botch look like freekin Cy Young. We'd have been better off with one of these instead of what we threw out ther tonight........

I thought you would have donated it to the marlins board seeing as they now have botch.

Of course in reality any decent pitcher would of owned them...
June 20, 200421 yr jeckle you are pure dumb..... p.s. f*** DIAZ I think Jeckle's 4 "should of"s in this thread speak volumes to that. "Should of" is just painful to read.
