September 18, 200520 yr i feel like bobby, jose and AJ are providing all the energy for this team now. AJ just seems like hes playing with more fire than all the other guys out there.
September 18, 200520 yr And Ozzie, it's pretty simple now who you give the ball to in Gm 4 the ALDS as I give you Jose Contreras
September 18, 200520 yr YES!!!! Exactly what we needed...2/3 from Minnesota on their turf. JOSE CONTRERAS...YOUR TABLE IS READY. DAMASO MARTE...HI, WE'VE MISSED YOU. BOBBY JENKS...well...let me just say "You can't Focking See that!" And 1 more that I think is well deserved today...for Ozzie Guillen...who actually did everything today the way it should have been done - pinch running for Konerko in the 8th, putting in Crede in the 9th just in case, using both Marte and Jenks in the 9th, etc. Well managed game by Ozzie, and since he's taken a lot of heat here lately...he deserves some props too. Cleveland...come and get it. Your run at this division is about to end.

That won't happen but MB still needs to lay off some of the getting swept talk.
September 18, 200520 yr Funny, all the posters with choking avis have not posted in the game winning thread yet. Edited September 18, 200520 yr by rangercal
September 18, 200520 yr Marte is f***in back. You watch him pitch at any time prior to this Minnesota series, and he had no confidence. This series, he had all the confidence in the world. I love it.
September 18, 200520 yr Oh yes , Score 4 runs in 3 games and win 2 of them. Great pitching all the way around. Bring it on Cleveland , let's rock ! Edited September 19, 200520 yr by CaliSoxFanViaSWside

September 18, 200520 yr QUOTE(rangercal @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 03:36 PM) Funny, all the posters with choking avis aren't taking place in the game winning thread yet. It's our job to say "told ya so" in these threads. If we lose, then that responsibility falls to them.

September 18, 200520 yr I'm not a fan of Ozzie at all. However, I give him credit for sticking with his gut this wknd and letting Marte gain his confidence and become a difference maker again for this team. That's the epitome of the "win or die trying" attitude! Also, it seems as if Jenks has become our closer. I don't have a problem with that at all. Our hitting still sucks, but at this time of the season, all that matters is the W or L.
September 18, 200520 yr QUOTE(3E8 @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 03:36 PM) Here I am! took you a while. let's just say you guys aren't quick to come around when we win. Yet, if we were to have lost you guys would have made 3-4 negative threads by now.

This series, he had all the confidence in the world. I love it. When Marte throws strikes between 93 to 95 mph...he is virtually unhittable. He threw strikes, with the fastball, 93 to 95. He keeps doing that...and our bullpen will suddenly resume being unbeatable. Especially with that guy behind him hitting 100 tonight. You think Bobby was pumped up? 99, 100, 99.

I'll speak for myself, and say that after sitting in the same spot on my couch for the whole game, I needed to stand up, breathe, and get something to eat.
September 18, 200520 yr Count!!! Rowand Dye Marte Jenks Great win guys, that is how you do it!! I think this team knows this is it, they squeezed out 2 close wins vs. a very tough Twin team in sept. and what can you say about the 2nd game, we got shut out by the reigning Cy Young winner. Go get them Indians!!

Marte's big problem had been his slider, and the lack of control he had on it. In order to throw it for a strike, he had to hang it. He stuck with fastballs today, and he seemed to have a less violent delivery.

Oh come on, it's football day...you mean you weren't sitting there with a bag of chips flipping back and forth between the Sox game and the Patriots/Panthers game? I polished off like 2/3 of that damn bag. And sometime around inning 7 I stopped flipping channels, except during breaks (no ad dollars for those Twins broadcasters)
