cleveland might come back and we could rally against nathan. I'm calling my bookie.

 

Cleveland has looked like they're mailing it in for the last few weeks. They'll knock us around a couple of times, though.

I'm officially done with Javier Vazquez. At this point I can't honestly say that he is a better option than Brandon McCarthy. I think the Sox are making a terrible blunder by keeping McCarthy in the 'pen at this point. I don't see any reason why (short of a trade) not to put McCarthy in the rotation and let Javier "I can only pitch well twice through the line-up" Vazquez be effective facing just a few hitters during a relief role.

 

I had reached the point where I was convinced the losing streak would just run its course and I wasn't upset anymore. The decision to actually pitch to Mauer in that situation just flipped my anger switch back on and I am livid! I'm angry because the Sox are being stubborn and don't seem willing to make some adjustments that might help the team (I remain aware that they still have trade opportunities). The impression they are giving is that they are going to go with Vazquez no matter what rather than putting him in the pen or making him a 5 inning pitcher. For crying out loud, be creative and make an adjustment or two!

 

Sorry, I'm just very angry right now. GO SOX!

Look what I found:

The Sox looked like they've been mailing it in for the last few weeks.

Fixed

This is like last year. Except, this year the Sox don't have a 15 game lead in their divison this year.

I hate to say it, but this team may have been an abberation last year, because it's looking more and more like the 1999-2004 teams. Great 1st half, Crap 2nd half. I hope I'm wrong, and they go on a hot streak and coast into the playoffs, but I'm starting to lose more hope everyday.

Where's that 10 HR week I've been waiting for from Thome?

Edited July 25, 200619 yr by BigSqwert

Maybe it's because they've been equally as bad this year except Garcia appears to be toast with his unexplained drop in velocity. And who is everyone? Seems like there's an awful lot more people calling for Vazquez' head lately than Garcia.

 

They're both equally bad. Vazquez has more "potential" because he still has decent stuff, so it's more likely that someone takes a chance on him and offers a better package than for a 30-year old version of the 42-year old version of Greg Maddux.

somebody make that sig!

Ozzie is doing his best Tony Pena impersonation. Bullpen and pitching managing by the magic 8 ball.

 

 

 

Should I take Javier out...... probably not.

 

Well the 8 balls says no, so Javy stays in. Smash of the bat, home run.

 

Lets shake it again, should I take him out now.. Outlook cloudy

 

No, lets see if he can pitch out of it, 4 runs later.

 

Maybe its time to get Cotts up.

rage against the dying of the light...

You mean when the pressure mounts, do nothing. Just laugh and dance around like a drunk monkey.

It might just be symbolic, or maybe it actually bothered them, but the Twins scored 6 unanswered since they couldn't get Anderson in

 

 

PK, just go back to the bench

Paul Konerko must require an invitiation to be inclined to swing.

Reyes...pot dealer to MLB

I'd PH Pablo or Dye here, but then again I'm not the manager

Pauly is kind of clueless watching a fastball coming down the middle.

 

 

This loss is on our 5th starter Cupcake and our manager who doesnt realize that cupcake is done by the 6th.

I'm sure Konerko thought he had a real good game for himself. Afterall, nothing beats the solo dong.

I remember the good old days. When the Sox were able to win 2 games in a row.

i love that nickname for him

I want Rauch back in the 5th spot...

I guess Alomar wasnt ready to catch tonite

Cupcake is a perfect slur to describe Javy's soft toss. I just hope it is Kosher with the Mods.

How could they have gotten this bad with the kind of talent they have on the team? Anymore I am just expecting them to lose. I know it's just a bad skid, but it almost seems like they won't ever win another game. I'm just saying that's what it seems like.

Thank God I won't be able to see tomorrow's game.
