August 5, 200718 yr ahhh its nice to have a week-end like this... Gavin pitched superb, Owens and Richar are fun to watch and the veterans are showing life together for the first time all season.. I think im going to have fun watching the rest of the season...
August 5, 200718 yr I guess we finally get to see what Kenny saw in Floyd. If he can pitch to his potential the guy has a serious chance to be a solid starter for this team.

If he can pitch to his potential the guy has a serious chance to be a solid starter for this team. No one ever questioned his stuff (even the Phillies)...they questioned his brain. Today...it looked like he was pitching with confidence. Hopefully...this was the start that turned the corner for him.
August 6, 200718 yr No one ever questioned his stuff (even the Phillies)...they questioned his brain. Today...it looked like he was pitching with confidence. Hopefully...this was the start that turned the corner for him. I agree with you but for one item, many here questioned his stuff in addition to the intangibles. Several said his fastball is straight as an arrow, they should ask Sean Casey because the fastball he struck out on moved a good six inches. He was mixing in a two seamer and a four seamer. Gavin Floyd was impressive today but he still has hurdles to overcome. Maintain his mechanics, maintain focus, and pitch inside. I suspect he will get a good opportunity the rest of '07.
August 6, 200718 yr I went to the games Friday and Saturday so I didn't see today's game, but damn what got into Gavin Floyd? I must say I am impressed with Richar though, and damn that homer Josh hit was a bomb. Also, I sat in the UD behind home plate for the Saturday night game, and just a few rows above me was a crazy ass (I assume) bus group of Sox fans that were going crazy all game. They were great too, didn't swear or anything, none of them even got kicked out, although they got like half a dozen Tigers fans kicked out, and sang na na na na, hey, goodbye after each one left. Also, I f***ing hate everything about Detroit and Tiger fans are dicks.

I went there a couple of years ago and thought the park was beautiful, but man -- the surrounding area makes the Bridgeport of a couple years ago look like a walk in the park. Yikes -- parking was definitely an "adventure" -- have things changed at all?
August 6, 200718 yr QUOTE(vandy125 @ Aug 5, 2007 -> 04:00 PM) 10.0 games now... Not gonna happen, but it is fun seeing them play well. Oh, it's gonna happen!
August 6, 200718 yr Hey, if the 51 giants can comeback from a 13 1/2 game deficit as late as August 12, why can't we come back from a 10 game deficit as of now in an extended season?

August 6, 200718 yr Its possible if detroit and cleveland start sucking and minn stays mediocre and we win alot = not going to happen. but its possible
August 6, 200718 yr I can't believe we're only 10 games out as bad as we played. I also agree it's not going to happen, but if we were to win 10 in a row, we'd likely have the gap down to about 6 games and then it would be actually possible. That said... we'll probably get our ass kicked by Cleve.
August 6, 200718 yr QUOTE(Shamrock4Life @ Aug 6, 2007 -> 12:46 AM) sox go on incredible run and its an all windy city series come october. Will you stop it already? I've looked at four separate threads now and you have this same stuff everywhere. Optimism is all good and everything, but to just keep saying crap just to read yourself say good things is bordering on trolling.

It's been a few years since I have been up that way, and the economy is way worse now then it was then, so I can only imagine. You talk about America's armpit.... now it's America's big, hairy, depressed arm pit. I do like the stadium; it was supposed to be a revitalization along with Ford Field. Well, the auto industry has to pick up for there to be anything to revitalize... only time will tell.
