Friend of Nordhagen Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 07:30 PM) Well considering our starting 9 from opening day plays in about 22% of the games, we may see it at least once this series. Unbelievable. Just unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CYGarland Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 looks like the Tigers hitters figured out how to hit our starters, take 2 strikes than swing at the meatball coming after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rishard101 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Let's be honest here. KW made too many moves and ruined a team that had good chemistry, played fundamentally sound, and had a good attitude. Oh and di I mention we won the f...ing World Series. He should've never messed with a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 07:31 PM) The alternative to standing pat was improving the team. So we're more concerned with winning trades than improving the team? Um, it would be hard to improve the team if we were getting ripped off in trades.

Chopper2Hopper Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I'm waiting to see if Jose can pull out of this with some masterful pitching. If not, time to turn this off and save my blood pressure from going through the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgaudin Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 QUOTE(THEWOOD @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 06:31 PM) This is making me sick... Ain't much of a game. Too bad Jose didn't have his "A" game going. Man, I'm praying to God this isn't the start of what the Yankees did to the Dead Sox. I have no idea WTF I would do or say if that were to happen.

Looks like their heading right into the dump....Our starting pitchers have lost velocity, and our power hitters cant hit Hr's.....This is bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Tizzle Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 07:28 PM) I still have hope that Garcia to the Mets will happen in the next 10 days. Too late for any such deal, and a subsequent move for McCarthy into the rotation. That opportunity was squandered around the trading deadline. Terrible decision by management. We'll regret it during the offseason when either injury issues are disclosed, or his value sinks even further than now. It honestly annoys me we never seem to be in a good position concerning the value of our players. Beane, for all the criticism I've layed upon him, has mastered this concept. With our rotation at its peak, just off a World Series victory, Garland or Garcia would have been ideal candidates for a trade. Especially when you consider McCarthy's availability.
