Wow, just wow. DID NOT SEE THAT COMMING.

Ozzie is really pulling all the right strings tonight.

 

I feel so much better knowing that when we need a good managerial decision down the stretch, he's sitting in the dugout.

The A's are making us look BAD. [/obvious]

there are a lot more potential 5th starters out there than speedy outfielders.

What does your rotation look like?

I hate this so, so much.

 

At least it's over in a few weeks....and the Twins somehow lost with Santana on the mound.

It's the 8th inning, and we have Anderson, Uribe, and Pods bat. Talk about some tough outs.

 

 

Thank god Gload and Cintron get a good view from the bench.

 

 

We keep a .230ish hitting SS in the game who can barely I mean barely hit the ball because he swings for the fence no matter what is happening.

 

Then we keep a lefty hitting LF that can barely hit.

Get off this f***ing team you scrub

 

It can't happen soon enough.

Not to mention they faced a guy who's 1-9.

im not even mad because i knew that was going to happen. now they'll make sure they put the game totally out of reach

If Kenny really wants to fix this team.

 

He needs to fire Ozzie, Cora, Walker.

 

He needs to ditch Prancer, Uribe, Freddy.

I would not trade Freddy if we got Carl Crawford and a SS upgrade (presuming we traded Bmac). I hate Freddy as much as anyone here, but he has shown moderate improvement recently and I really think that between Broadway etc. there are decent 5th starter options if Freddy spontaneously combusts. We have no chance at all without speed next year, we still have a chance with Freddy as the 5th starter (I think)

Brandon looks G-O-O-D. Everything is being hit softly on the ground, I love it.

I dont want it to be over. I want to f***ing win.

 

Well, of course. But this team has not shown during the 2nd half of the year that we can realistically expect them to play well this last few weeks. We have way too many easy outs at the plate, a pathetic manager, and 1.5 relievers we can actually trust.

This just isn't the year for the Sox. You don't exactly have to be Kreskin to read the tea leaves here.

so do you want dave roberts in lf then? young SPing is no rarer than a 20 homer 60 steal 300 hitting leadoff man.

 

 

not really. McCarthy hasn't had a chance in the rotation yet so we don't really know what he can do full time. if the guy can step up and have a mid 3 era and close to 20 wins i'll take that over 20 hr 60 steals guy.

 

all speculation of course.

 

remember too that pitching is VERY expensive. we can keep McCarthy for a bit with arbitration for a decent price.

Next year is a contract year for Garcia....so I guarantee he'll find his 94 mph fastball again.

you are right, i just want to know how you think we can upgrade speed.

Gload is the best LH hitter on the team. Ozzie must have a "gut feeling" about keeping him on the bench while Pods continues to suck.

you are right, i just want to know how you think we can upgrade speed.

 

SS is the perfect place, with names like Rollins and Lugo being mentioned. Of course, I think Pierre will either be our LF or CF next year.

Pitchers can't just always will their velocity back. He isn't pitching in the 80's on purpose. Something has caused him to lose that velocity. I don't expect it to magically return.

Well, this b**** is just about over.

You spoke too soon.

How many times can Hawk mess up the outs or the count tonight? Great back-up by Pods...I'm sure he was busting his ass getting to the ball.

Not that one.

Minny was down two to Oakland about a week ago (Wharris posted it), managed to come back.

 

Minny was down two tonight vs Cleveland, and managed to come back, despite losing later.

 

Does anybody have 1/10th the confidence in OUR team to comeback, despite the fact that we've scored what, 100 more runs this year?

 

This is f***ing unreal. Our pitching has done okay tonight.

 

Oh, wait Marco Scutaro with another hit. I forgot he was an all-star this year.
