That strut pissed me off.

 

Thats on par with a football team getting destroyed 41-0 iwith a minute left in the 4th quarter and your DT crushes the backup QB and then does the grave digger celebration.

 

 

Supposedly Ozzie told the press today that Griffey has been playing good defense lately, so he will stay out there.

Thats good defense. Wow, I would hate to see bad defense then. Whats bad defense to Ozzie. Oh I forget, keeping the blonde demon away from the santeria circle of power known as the baseball field. I see, he is a crafty devil that blonde demon.

 

 

Griffey had 2 RBI's out of 3 we scored last night. Yet he was up to bat when 3 runs scored. - for the picky ones.

 

I'm not surprised he's in there.

 

I am surprised Ozzie has Dweezy leading off.

 

I was expecting, OC, DW, JD, PK, JT, KG, AJ, AR, JU

You must of missed the part where he gave that back where his being old, and not particularly a good defensive CF gave back those runs. I guess we should take the GIDP with men on 1st and third with no outs and coming through in the clutch, and the 2 run dong which he posed for down by 9-1 as a successful offensive night. Pardon me.

 

 

at least i'll be able to watch this game, WCIU and ISU do not mix...let's hope for a better outcome

That's typical for Ozzie, I'm not saying that's a good idea at all.

I just don't get why Griff has to be in CF... move his old ass to LF and Dweezy to CF if Griff has to play....

Debbie Downer time

 

Mark gives up 4 runs (3 ER), and we lose the game 6-2 (Pen comes in, and gives up a couple as well, partly due to the defense in CF)

Actually, he had 2 RBI's, you dont get one when you knock in a run via GIDP...

My bad, but I'm not trying to play Griffey either, it's just not surprising that Ozzie will play Griffey just for last night.

 

His so called 'experience' might come in handy in the pennant race, who cares about defense, or athletism Thats why they Sox got him. /green

It's really too bad Ozzie doesn't come here and listen to soxtalk members and start the wonder that is Brian Anderson. We would have clinched before the All-Star break.

Really? Because where I come from where we follow the rules of baseball, grounding into a double play with a runner on third fails to yield an RBI... hence he only had 2 last night.

No one is claiming that Brian Anderson is a man-god. We're only saying that Griffey is so bad both offensively and defensively that the difference between the two is non-existent, which means we should be starting the man that actually knows how to catch fly balls.

One of my good friends is a Cubs friend (except not a typical Cubs fan, he likes baseball).

 

He watches Sox once in a while, and he always ask me how come Anderson is not playing, because everytime he watched (especially recently) Anderson produced.

If it was, it shouldn't have been.

 

Jeremy, I am disappointed you have not adopted the Rally Dweezy.

Yes I already said it was my mistake.

I don't see how anyone realistically thought the Sox would sweep. Win tonight and we have a chance to win the series and cut the number to 1.

Man, I don't know how I feel about Wise at leadoff. I liked him at #2.

He's going to go 5-5.

IMHO, KGJ and Nick Swisher do nothing better than Brian Anderson and Brian Anderson does things better thna both of them.

 

Carry on.

 

Oh and Ozzie is not having a good month either.

I assume that's in both hits and stolen bases.
