This is my first post in tonights game thread, but

I love you too man, later.

Farmer questioned why Pods didn't even make a throw into 2nd.

Having Thornton pitch to one of the most patient hitters in the game, bringing Cotts in in a non mop up spot, or Mack being in center, which gave the Yanks the run that is why they had a lead starting the 9th.

 

Which move is the worst one by Ozzie tonight?? At usual, there are multiple candidates.

If he scores, I bet we get 1 off of Rivera.

 

I thought you were leaving? I have absolutely no problem with complaining, but maybe it's time to get a little perception.

It wouldn't have been close at all. Pods did the smart thing by not even risking it.

It's almost the same exact way we lost to them in the first game after the ASB.

I question why he's even in the majors.

I turned the game on after the Yankees scored most of their runs (caught the bottom of the 3rd), but I don't see how Ozzie can be blamed for this.

Yeah, he had no chance on that play. There's still no excuse for his lack of a throw home in the first inning.

Now Ozzie brings in Jenks in a NSS in the middle of an inning. He's aware that Jenks sucked coming in this type of spot BEFORE his recent struggles right?? Why wouldn't Jenks start this inning if he's coming in??

Thornton hasn't been good lately, but he got Damon out and probably should of gotten Jeter out. I have ZERO confidence in Cotts and thought for sure he'd screw up, only I thought it would of been a slam.

Well, Mackowiak flat out cost us a run in the first inning.

If we lose by a hit by pitch, i'll be royally pissed off.

I can't say anything about that simply because I missed the first few innings.

Who do you want him to bring in? Clearly its not Cotts, and the rest of the bullpen is basically used other than Riske.

He has to play Mack in CF, and his error in the 1st cost us the run that is the current difference in the score. That and the fact he keeps putting Cotts in during big spots when he's probably our worst bullpen option right now.

Anybody but Cotts, ESPECIALLY against lefties, who he can't get out right now at all.

Exactly. Some people are reaching for someone to complain about.

A lot of credit goes to Torre for the quick hook of his starter, and his use of the bullpen. He's actually an underrated manager, from what I've seen.

I'm talking about now, when he put Jenks in. Clearly, you didn't want Cotts in there, so you must have wanted someone else. Who is that magical player?

It's just so childish and absurd to see that every fishing move Ozzie makes is being fishing criticized!

LOL Hawk just got serious cool points with the ISU reference.

C'Mon Bobby, 1 more. Then we can pull off a miracle vs Mo.

Exactly. Some people are reaching for someone to b**** about.

 

The 8th inning was just a clusterf***, but Ozzie doesn't deserve too much blame for the decision. One of these days, a Sox pitcher will shows some guts in a tough situation.

Reaching?? IF we lose tonight, it would be our 7th or 8th loss on the year due exclusively to a bad play in CF by Mack in a close game. Shouldn't Ozzie get the message here that you can't put him out there? Plus, Brian hits righties better than lefties anyways.

Would be nice, wouldn't it. At least Bobby has some marbles.

HE gone!

Nice to see Jenks step up. Nice note to go to the bottom on.
