I said it earlier in this thread...it will be a long wknd if Ozzie keeps letting Morneau beat us. He's the best player in baseball right now.

we are going to get swept. ill bet cash money.

FIRE OZZIE

 

i second that notion. this is beyond ridiculous

that was a picture perfect way to lose this game.

Good job Ozzie! We don't deserve to make the playoffs.

 

He got a weak little pop up. Happened exactly as they wanted. Unfortunately it just found a hole. Cuddyer coudl have done the exact same thing.

Ha...11 out of the last 17 lefties to face Cotts have a hit. I honestly think this is the worst managed game I've ever seen....and that's hard to do with Ozzie.

just think Santana is going on Sunday...

At least you wouldn't have let the best player in baseball beat you. Don't give me that blooper bulls***. My number 1 rule for a manager is to put your team in the best position to succeed. Ozzie couldn't have managed worse in the last 2 innings.

When guys are as hot as Morneau has been, it makes no difference if its a lefty or righty he's facing. That and the fact that 11 out of the last 17 lefties who have faced Cotts have gotten hits, Ozzie has to be brain damaged.

it doesn't change the fact that you put a man on base to get to the best hitter in the league with two outs. If cuddyer gets the hit, it's on cotts. this is squarely on ozzie

Yep we lost the series

Well...Good thing i dont work on weekends, so i don't hear all these mother f'n twins fans talk smack about the sox+

This sounds like last year all over again. I remember the Ozzie threads like they were just yesterday. Then when the season was over, I remember another thread that you started. How'd that go again...?

just think Santana is going on Sunday...

The Twins have won his last 18 starts in the Metrodome, and he's up against Vazquez. Tomorrow is the game to avoid a sweep.

I'm off this thread. anything I say is not going to be beneficial for anybody and myself.

 

ozzie. . . . . . . .. ........... .. . thats not smart

Do you lurk around this thread just to come in and try to start a fight with people who don't think this is the greatest team in history?

He got him to pop it up. Ozzie did the job. Cotts did the job. I don't think any pitcher is good enough to direct where weak little pop ups go to.

how can you possibly defend ozzie's managing this second half of the season?

this game is sucking pretty bad

If anyone can do it, we know who it is.

Morneau is nowhere near the best player in baseball right now.

 

Cotts made a good pitch and it was just a bloop hit that found a hole.

 

I agree that walking Cuddyer was dumb cuz Neal kills righties.

ozzie walked a man to get to the best hitter in the league, with TWO outs..... you can't defend his decision. it backfired, and was stupid to begin with

Just reminding you of last year. Thought I remember seeing you say it wouldn't happen again. It isn't worth coming much anymore really. That's why all of the really good posters don't come to the game threads anymore. It's just a big whine fest from 5-year olds.

Morneau is nowhere near the best player in baseball right now.

 

It's not really even close. He's on an amazing stretch. Name someone who's been better? He's an RBI machine.

guess the game's not over yet, but it's not looking that great, gotta win tomorrow to keep twins from passing us. god, i'll be happy when we're done playing the twins and royals
