Why must Hawk, every game, being up sports journalists? Bush league talk.

Why must he bring up the same tired crap every game. I like him, but it gets so boring.......

Same swing, same spot for Blum 1 out

 

I dont get him

QUOTE(daa84 @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 02:16 PM)
anyone know why el duque and now ive noticed jenks does too, but they have dirt or something on the back of their hat. its a pretty big spot on the back, and quite frankly im kinda surprised no opposing manager has had the umpire check it. anyone know what it is or why its there?

I know Jenks has had Rosin on his hat just about all year, which is not against the rules. If it were pinetar then yes, an opposing manager would b****, but it's rosin.

If the Sox were to make a deal for Walker, is there any need to keep Blum? He's just not very good. At all.

Everett has been absolutely horrible this year in the 5 hole. 92 ABs, .239 AVG, .725 OPS, 6 HR.

 

Why put guys in places where they tend not to succeed? Just because you think that's where they should hit?

That's probably because he hit mainly LH in the 5th spot, and 92 ab's really isn't a large enough sample. How many Rbi's did he have??

Back-up 3rd baseman. With Crede injured, we need as many 3b as possible.

The reason AJP has such stellar numbers in the 5 hole is because he only hit there after he caught fire. When he was on his hot streak he was moved to the 5 hole. When he's slumping he's moved down.

come on willie

Is the inning over already?? jeez

He's a relief pitcher, so he'll be running out of gas real soon.

this lineup = sadness

willie put on a nice swing on that ball. Lets keep em off the board and get after em next inning!!!

Willie with a homerun cut.... 1,2,3 inning Lohe looking very confident and in charge

Texas is going to score 4 or 5. They just do. Sox need to pick it up!! :angry:

I guess Ozuna's too error prone.

Our "regulars" havent done much in this game, but "this lineup" which I assumes means the subs, have manufactured a run, and looked more sound in the field. How is that sadness?

He has been behind just about every hitter he has faced (11 of 16) at one point. That is when we are not swinging at the first pitch. Jeez this gets old. The relief pitcher yesterday that was 0-6 got tired too that doesn't mean we will hit him.

you ARE aware that uribe, harris, timo and ozuna were the only players to manufacture a rally and fundamentally get us a run.

i can't believe i'm arguing this :lol:

 

this lineup makes it hard to expect anything to happen.

yes, we scratched out a run and that's aweomse. but honestly, how can you hope for anymore?
