Ordonez K's looking to end the Tigers threat. 7 game lead, here we come! BTW, I'm not happy about that, before some accuses me of being happy.

Exactly. we need them to start playing better, not try to go find replacements for them.

 

 

Its the final week of August. At what point do you think that they will get better. This is the point in the season where the hitters should be hitting their stride, not finding their swings. That is what the first month or so of the season is there for.

This team has played poorly ever since the Baltimore series. Coincidentally, that was right at the trade deadline.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 07:17 PM)
Buehrle has really done nothing against good teams, especially down the stretch.

 

Lol. You're kidding right.

Am I the only one who feels like we're just trying to hang on to our division lead? It definitely doesn't feel like a situation where we're on top, and the organization has the killer instinct.

So you go replace your starting infield on teh best team in the AL? THere is a reason you guys aren't GMs.

He's underperformed in the 2nd half of the season.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 08:19 PM)

No, I'm dead serious. He hasn't been beating good teams, the Indians being the exception. As a team, we've owned them.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 08:12 PM)
Maybe they don't want to give up Vizquel. Maybe they want to keep him around for next year because they know they will need to make a run as it will probabaly be Bonds last year there and everyone is gettting old.

 

 

maybe , maybe maybe, look GM's get paid for this stuff. Not one team wanted to trade? I don't think so, we just didn't want to pay. Overpay if your serious about the world series, otherwise, don't get excited when the sox blow it.

 

Look I hope andersen is a great player but he will not be griffey, I hope BMAC is good but he will not be a cy young winner. I hope The baj works out, but that is against all odds. I do know we are 8 games up and have not been in this position with this good of pitching in a long time. Most people look for pitching, we are looking for hitting. Lots of hitters out there.

Watch the games much?

We can't score against the worst pitching staff in the majors. Pathetic.

No, but you have a better option than Timo Perez to rotate with your outfielders when they're struggling. How many guys can be like 3 for their last 30 before you put someone else in at their position and try to get a spark? BTW jphat....good conversation tonight. I don't feel like this is personal at all tonight, and we're just discussing baseball. :cheers

Now a missed catch by Iguchi? Thats two errors in one inning by him. Im really trying not to give him hell, but this is pissing me off. We havent clinched yet, we cant just quit now.

So Minnesota isn't good?

 

I know, I'm going to get the lineup sucked that night.

wow, is everyone going to start posting their suicide notes soon? There are nights like this, the game is not over, we have come back in games like this before.

INDEED. GOOD JOB GANG. This is how it should be. :)

 

We all are talking and even disagreeing.

 

Hey fathom... :fight ;)

Try looking at Buehrle's game log from this year.

We have? Are you sure you're not talking about the Indians?
