WE ARENT PLAYING THE WAY WE PLAYED WHEN WE BUILT THIS LEAD. WE ARE NOT ADVANCING RUNNERS, WE ARE NOT PLAYING DEFENSE, WE ARE NOT AGGRESSIVE. WE HAVE LOST EVERY BIT OF THE STYLE THAT HAS MADE US GOOD. NOW THE TWINS HAVE IT ON DISPLAY, REMEMBER?

I'm going for the jinx. :P

 

Are you seriously rooting for the no-hitter? How would Hawk explain the greatest team ever being no-hit?

We are really bad. Buehrle is falling apart these last few starts. Yeah we got a big error but he should still be able to pitch over that.

How much of the lead will slip away before they bring up Owens?

 

Can Chris Young at least try and play 3rd?

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 07:21 PM)
Since it's likely we won't score 5 runs tonight, I hope he gets the no-hitter.

 

 

It's likely we wont score 2

 

This team is so frustrating right now. Its sickening

You mean the next Willie Harris? I'm sorry, but if we expect him to help us at all, we're screwed. I still have the feeling we DL'd Pods not cause he was really hurt, but because we wanted to give him a rest.

I'm announcing the no-hitter (which seems to be a baseball sin), in hoping he loses it. Though this game's basically over already. I don't know what I'm watching for.

 

JOHAN SANTANA WITH THE NO HITTER THROUGH 5.

We havent done anything since that first inning where we had runners on 2nd and 1st.

Sox don't advance past the first round, or good forbid--collapse before the seasons end, this is going back to Williams. Don't make a deadline move or acquire Griffey, especially after these latest offensive troubles, you'll have a lot of explaining to do.

 

If they make the playoffs, KW is off the hook. IF we don't make the playoffs (I pray that we do make it), KW should be fired. You better believe who our next GM would be......?

ITS TIME FOR A CLOSE DOORED MEETING KW AND OZZIE NEED TO BEAT THIS TEAM.

 

 

I THOUGHT THE PURPOSE OF GETTING RID OF CARLOS LEE AND ALL THIS IS SPEED NEVER EVER EVER SLUMPS AND THAT OZZIEBALL WOULDNT HAVE THE OLE 15 RUNS ONE NIGHT AND 1 FOR THE NEXT 4.

 

THIS IS THE SAME f***ING TEAM WITHOUT CARLOS LEE WHO WAS A POWER HITTER(A MEATHEAD AND ALL) BUT A 300 HITTER. AND NO MAGGS, WHO IS ALSO A 300 HITTER WTH POWER.

 

NOW WE ARE A 250 HITTING TEAM WHO HITS THE OCCASIONAL SOLO DONG.

When will it be time when Konerko or Dye or Everett calls a player only meeting cause this is ridiculous already.

What's the matter with Carlos Lee, Jose Valentin and Royce Clayton?

 

WAIT!

 

 

Sorry, I was having a flashback. I'm okay now.

thats like reverse.....when your guy has a no no, and you announce it its bad, but when the other guy has one, and you announce it, you are jinxing your own hitters, so it would be best to not announce it, if you want him to lose it

Not that it's going to factor into the decision, but that balk call was f***ed up.

who is fast on this team? who is fast and getting on base?

We got about 4 or 5 guys here who are on the radar.

You mean the next Willie Harris?  I'm sorry, but if we expect him to help us at all, we're screwed.  I still have the feeling we DL'd Pods not cause he was really hurt, but because we wanted to give him a rest.

 

WH never had 45BB & 32SB that I'm aware of. Pods definitely was hurt. You could see it when he would take off on the split screen. His initial push-off was slower. I'm not saying Owens is the solution but he's got better instincts as a LO hitter than Timo.

Interesting. I'm not at the point to where I feel KW should lose his job yet, but I like the idea of Stone.

Indians lose!

Indians lose. Look for the positive through this crap. Have the magic # go down at least once per day.

yep Cleveland lost, some good can come from tonight.

Magic number = 33! :snr :gosox1:
