Sure, their pitching is bad. But now that Jose is out of the rotation, and Garland's bump in the road is hopefully over, we could go back to normal. Obviously, never will we be back to 2005-esque, but I want to make a run, and not give up. If we end 6 or 7 out, that would be nice, and we'd know they didn't just quit on us. I don't expect them to make it into 1st, and go all the way, but to not give up would be a plus.

 

And I want Dye to hit like he has been if we are making a real shot at first. If not, then he should just stop trying. I want Sweeney in RF next year, anyways.

Garland's last outing was maybe the worst of his career. Contreras was replaced by Gavin Floyd.

How many teams did Cleveland have to jump in 05. They just got absolutely pummelled in a 3 game series with the Yanks. We win one game, and have a good start in another and we get silly, the fuse is lit crap. Its one thing to be optimistic, its another to have lost contact with reality.

 

We are talking about near 800 ball for the rest of the year to possibly win.

nah .750, either way they would have to get ridiculously hot

As I have said before and being one of Ozzie's biggest critics, if he gets this team into the playoffs he should get a lifetime contract that guarantees he's the highest paid manager every season.

Eesh.. I'll just comment on one thing. Do you expect Floyd to be better then Jose?

Like I said, you're right, Fathom. I was just trying to think of things that, in reality, are improbabilites.

Eesh.. I'll just comment on one thing. Do you expect Floyd to be better then Jose?

No, but can he better any worse? Maybe as the starts go by, he can get better.

In all this talk, it's 6-2 after a Thome and AJ solo homer.

BOMBS AWAY!

It's fine, if you can be that optimistic, then you'll enjoy life/sports a whole lot.

Haven't seen one of those in a long time.

this team is scary if this offense keeps clicking and the bullpen finds remnants of success from guys like macD and thornton

I'm surprised somebody's username on here isn't Alex Snelies (sp?)

I would have guess Sinelius

It would of been better if they all decided not to suck for most of the year.

You can definitley tell Javy isn't his "5-1 in his last 6 starts" self today. 6-3 Sox after a Polanco HR.

Slugfest night. Contreras debut out of the pen tonight?

 

For those sick of Floyd, I got this in an email about Egbert tonight.

 

n terms of makeup, he's outstanding. Certainly wise and mature beyond his years. He's a great guy to be around, and his teammates love him. He doesn't get rattled by a bad outing, and with his Jersey upbringing, he won't be surprised by how cold post-season baseball is in Chicago!

This team has a chance to be good if it stops sucking. They really do.

MAGGS...

We are talking about near 800 ball for the rest of the year to possibly win.

 

 

So you're saying there's a chance?

javy is just going to have to bear down and get through this one today i have the feeling the sox are going to need more than 6 runs today to win this one

 

6-3 going to the 4th

Have you figured out where you are going to frame the "keepsake" first pitch panoramic shot that you get when Eggy gets called up.

 

 

 

 

So you're saying there's a chance?

theres always "a chance" up until the team is mathematically eliminated

Someone needs to choke the opera guy hot dog salesman.

 

 

Anyone else think Bonderman is way overrated? Even last season, his first season where he wasn't below the league average, he had a 1.30 WHIP.
