1st and 2nd with one out.

 

Runner at third with three outs!!!

1st and 2nd with one out.

 

That wasn't predictable now, was it?

Well that's that. Way to go A.J.

CORPSEBALL IS BACK 2005 BACK TO AUGUST

This team absolutely sucks right now.

And I thought August was over. It doesn't get much worse than this.

Edited September 11, 200520 yr by CYGarland

Don't forget that Iguchi struggles for a few days after he gets a day off.

 

I'm tired of Guillen resting our players in September.

 

He may have rested them-- with good success-- for 4 months, but we no longer have a 15 1/2 game cushion in this division. Would it be too difficult to keep a consistent lineup for a week straight?

I actually had faith A.J. would come through. Then again, I was making playoffs plans the first week of August. Shows how much I know about this team.

One of my big fears all season was that when the division race got close (not once did I think the Sox would win it going away), Ozzie Guillen would have no clue what he was doing. So far, I've seen nothing that leads me to believe Ozzie has any clue in regards to keeping the Sox at the top of their game for the rest of this season. Believe me, there's nothing I want more than the Sox to make the playoffs. However, I can't imagine what Ozzie and Hawk's quotes will be like if the Sox don't make the playoffs. You're going to need all the shovels in this world to clean up that pile of bulls***.

Well that's that.  Way to go A.J.

 

Boy, my fear is that first game of the series that we blew will be reminiscent of the 16 inning debacle against the Twins. That game put us into a hole for a week!

If this happens again, we're screwed.

The Indians have maintained basically the same lineup for about the last two months, and have developed tremendous offensive chemistry. We keep mixing and matching our lineup around, but the talent level is still well below average.

Another K by B-mac. Make that 7.

Ozzie should piss the team off tomorrow and put a line up out tomorrow like this.

 

Lf Pods

Cf Anderson

RF Borchard

3b Ozuna

SS Uribe

2B Iguchi

1B PK

C Cassanova

DH Gload

 

Leave in Pods and Uribe because the are the only ones hitting. Leave in Iguchi because he always seems to be resting. Leave in Pods because the only other back up outfielder is Timo.

Our guys having no capability to consistantly have line drive swings is what is f***ing this team up. Keep dipping that back shoulder and aiming at the dan ryan guys. Eventually you will hit it.

Chone Figgins is the type of player that a lot of Sox fans believe Pods is. Figgins is so much more valuable than Podsednik though.

I would love that lineup tomorrow. WE DON'T PLAY TOMORROW!

Not when Pods was healthy. But I see your point.

Yeah, it's hard to turn a Hyundai into a Lexus. This offense is mediocre w/ all its components in there, and below average when a starter sits.

Bingo, great analogy. I've never thought that Ozzie has done a good job at putting this team in the best chance to succeed. At what point will Hawk stop using s*** like "the big picture", and this team will realize that will be no big picture if the immediate picture isn't taken care of?

I would love that lineup tomorrow.  WE DON'T PLAY TOMORROW!

 

 

Pardon. Tuesday's line up. We might score runs. Something we are unfamilair with.

Well, we're facing Cy Wood and Cy Howell. Our backs are against the wall against those two superstars.

You're right. I know what Ozzie is thinking already

 

TIMO TIME

Another thing that Ozzie did which I think might have hurt the psyche of this team was the whole Marte debacle on Wednesday night. There was just an awful atmosphere during that whole situation, including the booing by the fans. Even though the Sox hung on to win that game, something just didn't seem right about that situation. It kinda reminded me of the Paniagua disgrace.

Hey Juan, you don't need to swing for the fences when we just need baserunners right now!!

Lackey's just throwing fastballs down the plate now, and letting the Sox hitters get themselves out. After not having a 4 game losing streak all season, we're about to have our 2nd 4 game losing streak in about 3 weeks.
