I've thought of that, and wonder if they would give him that much more velocity.

 

I kinda doubt it, but this whole team looks like it could use a caffeine pill.

I don't think adding new players would make any difference at this point. This team has serious problems right now.

I take issue with this. Ozzie took this club where it hadn't gone in, like, 100 years. I am sick of hearing how sh***y Ozzie is, when his starting pitchers have summarily lost their velocity and overall effectiveness. Nobody could manage this starting staff into a pennant winner. Their effectiveness is integral to the team's success and he has done everything to help, coddle and instil confidence.

Ozzie, what have you done for us lately. I give him a lot of credit for 2005. Thank you Ozzie. Congrats. Now, let us focus on THIS YEAR. Ozzie is not doing a good job THIS YEAR. You go ahead and give him his lifetime achievement award and use last year to alibi every mistake and failure he makes for the rest of his career. I'll hold him accountable for current actions (as it should be).

I doubt it.

 

Man, our hitters are taking a ton of strikes, and swinging at balls.

ugh how can you swing at that crap. any lefty who has a change in the dirt is going to kill us

Let's just clone Ross Gload.

I'll hold the players responsible, since they're the ones ultimately responsible for getting the job done.

Everyone sucks right now. If the "team" doesn't pick it up, they're going to be awfully disappointed with how this season ends.

FEE FI FO FUM i smell Double play

Wait, why the hell didn't Ozuna score on that? I mean, that was clearly gone or off the wall.

Stop being crazy please. has ozzie been perfect this season? no. was he perfect last year? not perfect.

But he's a good manager and sometimes its just the players fault and right now our pitching sucks and it has brought down the hitting. GOOD JOB JIM. get to second next time please

I think both the players and the manager deserve the credit when they win and the blame when they lose. I gave them credit when they won it all last year. They all deserve the blame for this horrible face plant.

double play and my keyboard gets cracked

Nice swings by Thome. You can tell you're in a slump when there's a big play, and you still manage to mess it up a little.

Wait, why the hell didn't Ozuna score on that? I mean, that was clearly gone or off the wall.

Why is Thome on first base?

its just manny being manny

Last year, McCarthy was a huge spark plug for the team. We were slumping when he made a big start at Texas, and his great performance got this team back on the right track. However, by the time he'd be ready to throw 100 pitches in a game, we might be 5 or 6 games back.

I wish they would explain circumstances which may lend McCarthy's role in the rotation.

 

Continued ineffectiveness from our starters cannot continue to occur if we're serious about a playoff run.

 

Atleast give him a chance. How could it possibly hurt more than this current streak? It's better attempting change than doing nothing and thinking 'what if' after the seasons.

we HAVE to get at least 1 here.

Why is Thome on first base?

No kidding. It took 10 seconds for the ball to reach the fielder.

PK loves swinging at garbage with men on base.

And sometimes the manager makes things worse (like by leaving failing starting pitchers in too long, and mishandling the bullpen). And sometimes a manager does a poor job of motivating his team to get them out of slumps. Ozzie deserves his share of the blame.

PK has turned into Rob Deer. Our bad base running is going to cost us another run.

worthless. we're not scoring a run this inning.

 

It's okay though, we'll get out of this rut, after all it's July. Right Ozzie?

un-fishing-believable
