May 18, 200718 yr I was pissed that Ozzie let Buehrle hit in the7th. I was hoping Aardsma would pitch the 7th (why Ozzie doesn't use him more I have no idea). Macdougal was awful, combine that with four errors (not to mention the dumbass play by Pablo not throwing home).
May 18, 200718 yr Also, Toby did his job today. Went 2-3 and scored a run. It isn't his fault that MacDougal sucks ass.

He would have been a great addition to the team....unfortunately, he's going to be a liability due to a certain idiot trying to play him at 1B.
May 18, 200718 yr Yeah but going 2-3 gets you pinch hit for. DOH, there goes my self-imposed Ozzie/Walker bashing ban.
May 18, 200718 yr QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 18, 2007 -> 05:06 PM) For those listening what was Hawk like in the late innings? He fell asleep in the fourth. Actually, he didn't tip his cap to anyone. It was an old school silent broadcast.

May 18, 200718 yr QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ May 18, 2007 -> 09:13 PM) Even the biggest Ozzie supporters have trouble supporting his non-sense today. We're hearing that a few too many times this year....even though I still think Ozzie has managed much better than he did last year.

I think I was more upset at the moves by Ozzie than the actual results. What's up with Crede? is he hurt? Because Pablo or him aren't hitting, and if that's the case I would take Joe in the lineup 10 out of 10 times.
May 18, 200718 yr QUOTE(BearSox @ May 18, 2007 -> 05:07 PM) And what is with that stupid ass upright stance Sweeney has now? Is Greg Walker trying to give him the same stance as Anderson now? Funny thing about Sweeney's stance is that about a week ago, Hawk said that they were working with him to make him more agressive because he was taking a lot of first pitch fastballs. Since then, he has tanked.

Since then, he has tanked. Right, which will make it even funnier when KW, Ozzie and every other member of the Sox say that this slump has nothing to do with Walker

His throw to second base was atrocious. Hall simply can't windup the ball. Baseruners in the future will run all over him. Edited May 18, 200718 yr by Flash Tizzle

Brought in MacDougal to face a switch-hitter. Coming into today, MacDougal was allowing lefty hitters to hit him at a .417 clip. If you're going to bring him in, then let him face Theriot.

Had a good game today, and I'm wondering how long it takes for him to end up in a prolonged slump.

MacDougal for me. He has struggled a lot lately, it was time to try someone else. If you didn't want to use Aardsma due to the "ex-team factor" then Massett or Thorton should have gotten a shot

Since then, he has tanked. This is terrible. This team is going to ruin such a good talent like Sweeney. Yep, upright stances are the key to driving the ball and hitting homeruns. It might work for some people, but you need some bend in those knees, especially young players who crowd the plate. Like Anderson and Sweeney. F*&^ a hitting coach, just let them hit and be them selves up there. QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ May 18, 2007 -> 03:17 PM) His throw to second base was atrocious. Hall simply can't windup the ball. Baseruners in the future will run all over him. It doesn't matter. The game was over before that throw. We just have to hope from this point on, his arm will get stronger.

May 18, 200718 yr QUOTE(Iguchicago @ May 18, 2007 -> 03:15 PM) This board thread is completely ridiculous. Fixed. But I agree with your point.
May 18, 200718 yr The thing with Ozzie is this... Fine MacDougal blows the f***ing game, you're down 1...ok. BUT HOW DO YOU SEND HIM BACK OUT IN THE 8TH?
May 18, 200718 yr QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ May 18, 2007 -> 03:52 PM) Ozzie proving again why he is the single worst manager in baseball. God I hope he doesn't last much longer. ugh, everyone loves to blame ozzie! if mac wasnt pitching so damn bad and gotten the job done, no one would be talking about him! and the defense sucked, hitting, everything, its not ozzie fault Edited May 18, 200718 yr by Melissa1334
