May 18, 200322 yr Sweeped again this team is awefull, somebody's head is on the block after this, 1, 2 run hr today this is not a slump this is a s*** season from alot of guys, I rip Lee , PK is just as f 'n bad since break last year he has hit about .240. Why does this team NEVER score in 8th and 9th to win a game Sox go 1,2,3, all the f 'n time. 6 runs is this series Minn staff is not that good. This is the most underachieving Sox team I have ever seen. Oh Sox just hit into another double play ,what's new at least they led MLB in something :fyou :finger EFFORT is NILL on O and D. Pinch run Harris in 9th who can't steal, brilliant JM I hope you are gone tonight, you suck as a manager. Koch take notes from Guardado , he is a real closer 0-2, 1-2 to all hitters not 3-1, 3-0, like your sorry ass. Clutch HIT this team would not know the meaning of that word.
May 18, 200322 yr I know. I thought that woulda been the whole point of having Harris pinchrun, but what the hell was I thinking? JM never has a clue...
May 18, 200322 yr Someone is to play for the pathetic play of this offense, and it ain't JM's fault. We hire a hitting coach for 1 reason, and that is the only reason we hire him....to help this team hit better. Gary Ward has done the opposite....this team has hit worse and worse, day-by-day. We just got our asses handed to us by 3 s*** pitchers, with Lohse being the best out of the bunch. And we call ourselves an offense?
May 18, 200322 yr The Sox need one thing in my opinion, some one who takes losing personally. Maybe Valentine for a coach, or just anyone who is going to really go off if his players play like this. Manuel's style has its merits, I mean Phil Jackson is considered one of the best coaches, but some player are not self motivated like Kobe and Jordan. We need some one who will fly off the handle if we lose, because maybe it will become contagious with the players. To many seem to not care about winning or losing, and that is starting to even piss me off. SB
May 18, 200322 yr :fyou lineup...damn, we can not waist good starting pitching... :fyou Jose Valentin, can not field your position

He coulda used Wunsch. But Mr Genius used Tom freakin Gordon. Thats pathetic. And whyd he pinchrun for Harris if he wasnt gonna steal? This guy doesnt have a clue...

May 19, 200322 yr Manuel went against the very tactic he claimed he was going to start using. Remember he said he would use the relief pitchers for 2 innings if they were hot? Marte is hot and he takes him out and puts in someone who pitched the day before!? I like Gordon, but this 1 inning stuff makes little sense to me. I also can't see why he didn't let Loaiza pitch into at least the 7th. The guy is a battler and we don't seem to be seeing much of that lately. Our defense is pathetic, we can't run and of course we can't hit. But what's new? We have been over this same stuff for 43 games now and there is no improvement. We have talent, but it just ain't showing itself. Tell me it ain't so, Joe?
May 19, 200322 yr Even though Harris' legs are fine, I couldn't imagine expecting him to slide into second on a steal attempt. I figured they woke Jerry "No Spark" Manuel out of a sound sleep and he came up with that gem. At the very least a hit and run. JM for Prozak I just found his next line of work. If Palmero can be the spokesman for Viagra why not JM for Prozac The way this season is going I was expecting a f***ing double play to end the game, and I know I wasn't the only one.
