July 25, 200421 yr we dont need a closer, what we need is a long reliever. a guy that can come in in the 6th and hold them until the 8th. polite cant pitch every day in a pennant race, unfortunately
July 25, 200421 yr KW knows it to. Im sure we will see another arm in there soon. But like Rooney said today on Talkin' Baseball, I really dont want a closer controversey. As much as Eddie would be huge, Shingo has been great, and I dont want any shake ups that could hurt the chemestry. i know that mesa is available but he specifically stated he wanted to keep his closer role...so he is out of the question. Maybe we can get guillermo mota, he currently is a set up guy...and most teams looking at him want him to be a closer.

The backend of the bullpen is outstanding. We need a guy that can come into a close game and get outs and someone that won't cost kenny that much in terms of talent.
July 25, 200421 yr I literally vomited as soon as I saw that happen. Ozzie needs to be be fired. He saw a 5-2 game and decided we couldn't get back into it and decided to give up. Then he went and took Aaron Rowand out of the game. At that point it didn't matter because he put him in the damn 7th hole with basically took our best hitter out of the top of the order. If we end up getting swept by the Twins because of s*** like this then I hope KW does the right thing and sends Ozzie packing. AROW NEEDS TO BE AT THE TOP OF THE DAMN ORDER AND JACKSON NEEDS TO BE RELEASED! Make no mistake though, this is totally Ozzies fault. If AROW is in the 2 hole this doesn't happen... :fyou OZZIE

I want to see Arow batting in the 2 hole also but saying ozzie needs to be fired is f***in ridiculous and your a :dips*** for even saying that.

July 25, 200421 yr I nominate this as dumbest post of the year Ozzie fired? Wow I have nothing more to say just Wow
July 25, 200421 yr Jeckle, you were being such a b**** in the chat and know you found your way into the boards. :fyou You. Go to your lover's house and talk to him. He'll prolly listen to ya.
July 25, 200421 yr according to a story in the new York times today, he has the second worst percentage in the major leagues at allowing inherited runners to score. It's close to 70 percent/ Heck, he might have taken the lead today. First place, I believe was Mike Stanton
July 25, 200421 yr I'm sorry your right firing Ozzie might have been a little extreme but AROW in the 7 hole killed our lineup. Ozzie does need to wake up and get his head out of his ass. Where is the press release for Mike Jackson's release... If he would of at least put in Adkins I could at least say he was trying. Jackson is the blackist white flag in the league :headshake
July 25, 200421 yr Jackson is the blackist white flag in the league :headshake I sincerely hope you didn't mean that in a racist comment, Jeckle.
July 25, 200421 yr He should be released before the Monday night. Ozzie can't possibly bring him in vs the Twins, unless we are already down by ten.
July 26, 200421 yr Author Jackson is the blackist white flag in the league :headshake People like you make me sick.

July 26, 200421 yr Whoa guys....just one loss....Ya win 60 ya lose 60.......Calm down...Myself or another admin or mod will open this back up later but not when you people act more like my little brother than the best fans in baseball...Sox fans.... Alex
July 26, 200421 yr I sincerely hope you didn't mean that in a racist comment, Jeckle. I don't get how that is a racist comment. When Jackson comes in it's sending a signal to the other team that we give up, otherwise known as a "White Flag" I was just trying to have a play on words. I certainly didn't mean to say anything derogatory about his race. I apoligize if it came off that way.
