From my viewpoint, it's because people try to hit a grand slam instead of just trying to hit a sac fly or hit a liner somewhere.  Timo had some good pitches to hit there, but he swung out of his ass......again.

 

 

Pull baseball son. You fell over sriking out, you will get dem next time.

The thing is, what does Timo have to do in order to lose his spot on our roster? He's having a terrible season all around.

JOE f***ING CREDE!!! Leaps to get a bounding ball and makes a perfect throw to get the first out.

It's official...I hate him. fight.gif

 

 

We should call up Jeremy Giambi and bench Timo's ass

Great teams put terrible teams away in those situations. We are fine, but we still have some maturing to do at the plate.

Even if Frank gets healthy we better upgrade one other position offensively. I would have to say 3B if Crede shows his earlier streak was a fluke

 

Joe is pushing .300 now, with stellar defense.

Pop up to Crede... 2 down.

El Duque is at 85 pitches. This better be his last at bat since we need to keep him injury free

 

Give Botch, Vizcaino and Walker the 7/8/9 unless hell breaks loose in one of them

Crede's batting .294 now.

Sorry, but Crede's not going anywhere. He's cheap, plays good defensive, and is hitting near .300 right now. He's one of the last players on our team I think deserves to be in hot water (even though I'm sick of the weak pop ups he hits).

what, please no, not that order

Weak grounder to PK guarding the line ends the 6th.

 

5-1 Sox.

 

I think Hernandez has another inning in him.

Alright!!!

 

Go ahead and put Walker in for the seventh, another stellar outing for El Duque!

Honest question:

 

Why can't a 1B play the 3B position? After all they do play that position against the left handed hitter ....

 

My logic is if we could send Paulie to 3B, then we can have Frank play 1B and Carl as DH and send Crede's ass to the bench only to play late in games as defensive replacement for Frank (Crede goes to 3B and Paulie moves back to 1B)

 

Just a thought....

On a lighter note, Santana has got beyoned the 3rd with the lead.  He is, predictably, starting to heat it up. :headshake

 

 

How's Sidney doing..?

Timo has been up 3 times this season in which he simply needed to make contact, and he has failed each time.  He's a piece of s***.

 

I'm sick of this guy...he should never play...what about Brian Anderson? Or do we want him to play everyday in the minors? Timo batting leadoff? What gives Ozzie?

I'd leave Dookie in the game...they can't hit him. If he tops 100 pitches, remove him after the inning.

We should call up Jeremy Giambi and bench Timo's ass

 

You might be joking, but that guy can flat out get on base.

It's still a 4 run game. Tampa has made similar leads disappear quickly already this series. El Duque has been cruising lately....I'm sure he'll start the next inning.

uhhh he is cheap until Borassss gets him a huge contract this offseason.

We get the point. Timo sucks.

My, my...where to begin?

 

I better stay away from this one, I advise you all do the same. It can't be good for your collective blood pressure.

You know he's gonna start one more inning.

Konkero took what he learned from the last AB and then ignored it and tried to mash one to mars.
