I am glad that Ozzie is consistant and keeps not playing regulars against the WC competition. We need a win today, so lets bench Anderson who hits Silva well, and lets bench Gooch who is hitting well.

 

Bench worthless Pods and put Mackowiak in if you are so bent on using him.

 

And Cintron can rest Uribe who cant hit.

 

These lineups were stupid in April, and they are even more stupid now in late July.

But we'll have the freshest lineup when we are 12 games back in late August.

I am going with a big inning started by a ball that drops between Mackowiak and Cintron, just like it has the last few times they have both been on the field.

 

Ozzie should just admit it, we dont have a starting CF, we have a fishing platoon. Anderson is 23, how much rest does he need.

Uribe is 12/23 in his career with 3 home runs against Silva.

How about this lineup

 

Pods

Gooch

Thome

Konerko

Dye

AJ

Crede

Uribe

Anderson

 

This is the one we should be using against our rivals.

In his bedroom? What's he doing tonight?

No. It makes too much sense.

The game hasn't even started and Ozzie has already pissed me off.

yeah i def. like our REAL lineup.... i just dont get how ozzie can wake up and be like " yeah this is our best lineup, i hate jay mariotti" every day

OK so, I'm typically a defender of the Ozzie patented Sunday Lineup ™. I think his resting of players and playing the bench is a key to the team's success.

 

But here we have just plain poor decision-making. Anderson is red-hot and 3/5 vs Silva, and Gooch is 3/5. I mean, come on. Rest our guys and get the bench some time, but do it the smart way!!! Not this default lefty-righty crap.

We are trying to hang on to the wild card, and save a possible sweep at home. And he dicks around.

 

I hated Manuel and his sunday lineups, but he only did it once a week. Gooch and Anderson have to be the most subbed out on our team. Followed by Pods. Anderson can get hits off of Randy Johnson and Mike Mussina, but he needs to rest against the mighty carlos silva.

We can rest guys vs Baltimore and KC after this series. Sheesh. Are BA and Iguchi that tired?

this is a big game.

 

we can't let minny tie us. buehrle needs to come out of his slump, sox need to win... and then a streak needs to begin.

 

 

ps, detroit is beating cleveland.

Does Minnesota and Detroit rest there starters vs us?

 

Um....not so much.

 

PS Are we losing yet?

Interesting that you ask that, given that Joe Mauer is sitting today.

 

And Detroit is up 3-0 on Cleveland in the 7th (Verlander against Captain Cheeseburger) so in a sense, we're already losing more ground.

I won't be sad if Guillen isn't here next year.

By the way Prior has a NO HITTER going.

 

There I said it.

Was just pulled for a reliever.

No kidding, I heard Mack and Cintron on the radio. Against the mighty Carlos Silva, Anderson's offense shouldnt kill the team, his defense could in fact save it. Hopefully MB is back to form today and the offense makes the Ozzie "Sunday lineup" look brilliant. Come on boys, need this one today badly.

By the way Prior has a NO HITTER going.

And Prior was just taken out in the middle of the 6th inning. Without having given up a hit yet. Will Ohman is in.

prior is now out lol!!!!

 

Should i even watch this game with this lineup? Ozzie u are pissing us off, stop!

Next time a bench player does not start I am going to throw a party. Play the fishin regulars the way MB has pitched he needs the best defense behind him and Mack and Cintron both are not very good with the glove. Last time all the regulars played was what last week vs the tigers and what happened we won big. Maybe KW should send down all the bench players

With Buehrle on the mound, we need our best defense playing. There's no excuse for Anderson not playing today.

What?!?! Pull your starters before their predictable meltdown?!?!?! ABSURD!

It will take at least 8 runs to win today with MB out there.

What is the over under on how many times we hear

 

"Anderson would have had that ball"

 

I am going to say 2.

 

And yes he would have had them.

I'll go with 4

Fixed that for you.
