Omar time! One more good AB, old man.

Can Omar do some magic here again?

 

 

Please Omar

Jim Thome has 136 PAs this year, and I have no doubt that number would be more if Delmon Young hadn't finally gotten his s*** together. He's on pace for just less than 300 PAs. And he's murdered the ball.

 

Mark Kotsay has 179 PAs this year, and 91 of those have been at DH. He's put up a .190/.297/.380/.676 when acting as the DH.

 

I know I have to let that go, but Thome would have added atleast one more win than Kotsay this year. Kotsay has been virtually useless, and his value to the team, in my opinion, actually becomes less when Teahen returns because Teahen can do everything Kotsay does, but more due to his ability to actually stand at the positions of 2B and 3B, and he's a better hitter than Kotsay is too. I just want the Sox to DFA Kotsay so f'ing bad.

We've gotten 4 outs in this inning.

Kotsay should really be batting for Vizquel here.

or viciedo

Shouldnt we consider a PH here?

I actually agree, this is Kotsay's specialty and I'd love to see someone up there with a little pop.

Hit him in the rear end

Omar is not the answer.

This team's bottom and top of the order is f***ing sad.

His bear hugs are actually hugs he gives to bears.

Omar's 2 for last 15, and isn't coming close to getting the bat through the zone.

well this isnt lookin good

Thank god our good pinch hitter watched from the bench.

This is really disheartening tonight.

 

They're begging us to win and we refuse to allow it to happen.

or viciedo

 

who?

At least its Rios, Konerko, Q! in the 9th. Ugh.

Truly feels if it's not our 3-4-5, we're just not going to score.

It's just really poor managing there, we've discussed this before when a hard thrower is on the mound against Omar. Plus he hasn't looked good at the plate today, that would have been one time I would have liked to see Kotsay up there...

 

back to frustrating baseball. At least we got a decent performance out of Mark, even if it looked really bad in the process.

Yeah, I admit I was wrong. Time to sit Omar for a few games.

Don't worry, Viciedo will get his turn at the plate, when the Sox are 9 games back again and in sell mode.

Well this is looking bleak. Not looking forward to Soria in the 9th.

 

Kinda wonder why we re-signed Mark Kotsay if we're not going to use him when he's actually needed.

Screw Adam LaRoche, we need a leadoff and 2-spot hitter badly.
