If Ozzie is still in charge of this team next year he will literally ruin it for a while.

 

He will beg KW to pick up a puss hitter like Dave Roberts or Juan Pierre.

 

Cora will sill be sending runners to die at home with his waving silly arms.

 

Walker will still be turning every single hitter into a myopic pull hitter.

 

And we will look like world beaters in teh first half, and then our o will look like it got run over by a bus in the 2nd half.

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.

 

Gload & BA must have the same disease that doesnt allow them to play when needed

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.

 

It's probably nothing that a trip back to Mexico can't help.

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

i know thats now a popular idea, but i think the guy could have some good years here

You are right on each and every point. I can't believe many (most) Sox fans don't understand this.

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

 

Scutaro is hitting about .035 points better than our "All-star", AJP, during the 2nd half of the season.

I thought I remembered Hawk and DJ saying earlier this year that Freddy was losing velocity to concentrate on control and preserve his arm more. Next year is the last year of his deal, and probably the last chance he'll get to earn a decent contract. I wouldn't be suprised to see his velocity magically come back next year.

Freddy needs to get his s*** together and go back on the roids.

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?

I wouldn't be surprised either way, this team's been a bigger tease than my girlfriend junior yr. of high school

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

 

 

I disagree. Reading TeaLeaves is difficult business.

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.

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

Keith, how does the twins handle a 2 strike situation with men on. And what kind of swings do you see with RISP and the sox hiters up with 2 strikes.

 

The twinks shorten it up, and punch it somewhere. Our guys are trying to send it out of the yard. That is why our team isnt doing it lately with the stick.

 

 

 

Appendage aware strikes again.

Aaaaaah, I see. Well, if some injections are all it takes, then perhaps so.

Funny because he's been pretty horrible in the National League. Should be fun watching another puss armed s*** fielder out there in LF again next season.

 

And Brandon looked damn good tonight. Good for him.

Aaaaaah, I see. Well, if some injections are all it takes, then perhaps so.

 

Of course, there are a few guys in our starting lineup that might want to take that trip with him.

Zito and his big curveballs versus the corpseball express tomorrow night is looking like a lock for us huh.

Please don't tell me that you're buying Hawk and DJ's line of BS. He hasn't just decided to pitch in the 80's all season. Maybe he would try that for a little while and get hammered, but after a while, he'd go back to his good fastball. But he hasn't seen that fastball all year. He hasn't chosen to be a soft tosser. This season, that is all he has had in his arsenal.

Hey, Logan actually got ahead in the count

Well, he owns the Sox, so we might as well just conceed the game now.

Well, boone made that look easy.

If Street comes in, I'd rather see Gload face him than Iguchi.

Let's see if Thome can justify his salary this inning. He was brought here to come through in games like this...

If Street comes in, I'd rather see Gload face him than Iguchi.

 

i cant possibly understand why he is still on the bench right now.

Because he's not a power hitter or a speed player (even though he leads this team in infield hits)

If Street comes in, I'd rather see Gload face him than Iguchi.

Sadly the one guy I'd love to see face Street was pinch hit for last inning.

I should of used that excuse when my elbow and shoulder blew in my junior year of college. Oddly the minute I lost a bunch of MPH on my fastball without a reason, my coach made me get an MRI.

 

Sorry coach I am just throwing slow because I want to preserve my arm for senior year, The scouts love the lob league I am now throwing that is getting crushed. I missed the boat on that one.
