Jeez....you have him 0-2....that pitch has to be in the dirt. Ozzie....don't be sleeping please.

You're telling me you couldn't predict Pods injury? It's the 4th straight year he experienced "unrelated" problems with his groin.

 

You're telling me you're surprised that Thome is headed for the DL?

 

So we shouldn't have brought Thome back? Is that what you're saying?

I wouldn't have mind Nixon as a platoon player, but I thought Jose Cruz Jr. would've been a good partner for Mack.

In 33 whole ABs? Really?

 

Hurray Scotty!

 

I know it's a sample size. But for 2007, what else do we have to go by?

Nice play by Uribe....but another horrible pitch call. An 0-2 fastball to a fastball hitter is just stupid.

2 stupid 0-2 pitches to back to back guys. What happened to the forkball? VLad would swung over it or grounded into a DP.

It's unbelievable Ozzie doesn't have anyone warming up.

Gio in AA so far tonite:

 

6 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 10 K

We're not going to win the AL Central with Nixon as our everyday LF...

 

Because...? Because our defense is worse? Oh, right, I must've forgotten the gold-glover #22 we've had prancing out there the past two years.

 

Career OPS+? That's your arguement? quote]

 

What's your argument? Oh, right, 33 at-bats. Nice.

 

And it's half ass because he's only a part-time player.

 

What's Podsednik?

 

Well damn that Kenny Williams to hell for not jumping on Mr. Trot Nixon. No telling how good our offense would be with him on board.

 

That's really not the point, but you're not seeing the forest from the... No, you're not seeing the trees either, so...

Since when is Pods a full time player? We suffer through Ozuna's defense in LF everytime there's a LHP on the mound.

 

Good job, Fathom. You called this inning.

Super...just amazing pitch selection this inning. Contreras needs to find his fastball and forkball, because he's medicore right now. Someone might want to wake Ozzie up. Why have 3 lefties in your bullpen if you won't use them when your pitcher is struggling?

He looked like crap all game....it wasn't that surprising once they stopped hitting into DP.

Wasn't Kotchman the guy who hit a three run homer off of Contreras in 8th at Anaheim during the regular season of 2005.

what fastball? he's really lost his velocity. Im amazed the Angels have only scored 3 runs so far.

Tough inning possibly for Contreras here. I hope Ozzie's proactive and gets us someone in the pen.

there's your answer. s***. the angels pen > sox pen

McPherson. Contreras usually owns Kotchman.

yes. I was in the stands, sad to say.

 

ah yes, it WAS mcpherson

Something new from Crede.

 

If Ozzie lets Contreras start the 7th, I give up.

I'm not the one that brought up OPS+. I realized before the season that there were pros and cons to bringing back Pods. But it doesn't matter what me, you or anybody thinks. Kenny was banking on a bounce back year from Pods. There was nothing else out there that would've made us legitimately better. Next off-season? Different story. I expect a change to be made.

You realize the Angels only have one guy with an ERA under 4 in their pen, correct?

 

EDIT: Not sure if Bootcheck is still with the team.

 

Juan more than halfway to his 2006 walk total.

Nice hit by Erstad, and I thought Iguchi had that one. Aardsma likely to start the 7th.

 

This server has an amazing consecutive game streak going.

OT: What's the Bulls/Heat score? My direct tv is out for some reason.

Contreras is back out there.

How in the f*** is Contreras starting this inning? This is so f***ing stupid.

Bulls down 76-72 after 3.

I'm not the one that brought up OPS+.

 

Yup -- you brought up the 33 at-bats. And let me just say -- 33 ABs > career OPS+.

 

There was nothing else out there that would've made us legitimately better despite evidence to the contrary.

 

Fixed.

Gio has 13 Ks in seven innings pitched tonight. He must've struck out the side last inning.
