Pods looks anorexic.

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Aug 21, 2005 -> 02:52 PM) I think the kid Anderson was overmatched by this here Johnson guy. 3-2 count and you get caught looking at strike 3. Protect the plate youngster! WGN had the stupid behind the plate cam. I couldn't tell if it was a strike or not.

By the title of the thread, thought the Redbirds were playing the Bears next week or something.

Ah ha! What is he in Civil Court for?

At least Crede battled.

Come on guys, the biggest lead the Nationals had was like 5 games. We were at 14 or 15 at one point.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 08:51 PM) Good news, the Yanks are throwing Randy Johnson on Sunday!!!! If we don't win tomorrow, we're looking at a very likely 9 game losing streak after facing RJ and Johan. Is it safe to say the sky is falling? Thought it was Jaret Wright. Oh well. He'd probably even shut us down.

Over/under on pitches by Rivera...I'll go 9

If we get the tying run to the plate in the 9th, and Konerko does NOT PH. I'll be pissed. He needs to be a leader if that situation arises.

Look where AJ's head is during that swing! Walker, not trying to put heat on you, but can't you see it?

If Carl took every pitch in that squence, he would of been on 1st. I know, I know, if it got to 2-0, he would of thrown a strike.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 08:37 PM) Certainly not over any of those guys? Lawton is just as good as Pods offensively, and especially when Dye is struggling, he'd be a perfect back-up. Why can't Lawton be a DH? Is there some rule saying he has to play the field? Lawton is one of those guys who flies under the radar. His OBP is 1.00 higher than his BA at times. I'd take him in a second.

ALright, I just shaved. We got this one.

Maybe the Kiss Cam will get us going, or is that middle of the 6th?

QUOTE(CWSOX45 @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 08:33 PM) I think the guy we need to go for is Omar Vizquel. He's exactly what we need. Contact hitter, speed, great defense. Uribe could be moved to the bench. Hell, I'm willing to bet we could trade Uribe FOR Vizquel.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 08:27 PM) Teams with the marquee players were asking for a ton (Griffey, Wagner, Huff, Guardado, Burnett). Jim Hendry must have naked pictures of the Pirates GM, because he sure got Matt Lawton for cheap. Lawton would have been the perfect addition to this team. Wasn't Rogowski the only "major" minor leaguer involved in rumored Junior deal? If that was an actual deal and it went through, it would of been the steal of the century. The owner may of nixed it cuz he wanted more, so my point is moot.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 08:29 PM) No, it probably just gives the Indians more momentum. I just can't believe how flat we're playing. About as flat as a little girl.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 08:26 PM) BTW, our good friend Lew Ford put the Twins ahead 7-4 with a 3 run homer. This is a lot of fun! I'd like to think the fact that our lead will be in single digits after tonight would spark us, but I doubt it.

If I see Timo leading off tomorrow, I'm charging the dugout and strangling Ozzie. ANYBODY but Timo could lead off. Rowand, Iguchi, I know they are not ideal lead off guys, but they have to be a better option. Play Anderson in LF.

Timo's going yard.

Crede swinging at flies again. His head was looking to the outfield as he missed that pitch.

QUOTE(CWSOX45 @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 08:15 PM) What pisses me off is how garland and our pitchers pitch their asses off, like tonight and in the 16 inning game against the twins, and our offense can't push a damn run across the plate when we need it most... CWSOX45 Our picthing blew that game.

All in all, 7 IP and 2ER for Jon. Can't ask for too much more. Unfortunatly a shutout is needed to win these days.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 08:08 PM) Corpseball in recent years was better than this offensive slump. There was a lot more talent in our lineups the last few years. Any word on how long PK will be out? Bet he plays tomorrow.
