QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 10, 2005 -> 11:01 PM) Just cause a team has your number, it doesn't mean you have to bend over and take it in the ass. We have a very tough schedule in the 2nd half of the year, and with the way the Cell plays, our pitching staff will not be able to duplicate their first half numbers. Our offense needs to pick it up. We hardly bent over to them today. We kept fighting back, no matter how many runs Freddy was giving up in the first 4 innings. Yeah, our 3.75 ERA at home is awful.

QUOTE(Ozzie Montana @ Jul 10, 2005 -> 11:00 PM) I'd like to add Widger Nice play by Chavez on his ball. If it goes thru, game could be tied. Not Widger's fault. Burke would add a lot more to this team than Willie, IMO.

If Willie, Walker, and Vizcaino are not on this team Thursday, I'll be a lot happier.

f*** his speed, get Willie outta here.

Situations like this make us miss Marte.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jul 10, 2005 -> 10:32 PM) why not? I knew i wasn't going to do anything this afternoon besides watch the game. I find it fun to see how things develop in the game, etc. I do it sometimes. Usually I toss it aside after a few innings cuz I get bored. I know lots who do as well.

qwerty, I clicked it

QUOTE(osxfreak @ Jul 10, 2005 -> 06:37 PM) Does The Hawk actually get somthing for these? $$$$ That is??? Would rather let him profit from his saying then some guy on a corner street Nope. I remember last year they pointed em out on TV and DJ asked how much Hawk is making off them and Hawk said, "I haven't seen a dime nor will I, probably." Or something along those lines.

Out of the A's 5 hits, I think 1 has been hit hard. Kotsay's RBI single.

QUOTE(drowninginflame @ Jul 10, 2005 -> 08:19 AM) Kudos to that guy for trying, serisouly. I couldn't tolerate it though, I turned it off Yeah, the highlights were nice but the song was awful. Should of just kept the original, would be been better.

Article in the tribune about how Ozzie got mad at Uribe for watching his fly ball in the 8th. Crede also is out until Thurs. Here is my guess at today's line up. NOT OFFICIAL, obviously. Pods LF Gooch 2B Frank DH Kong 1B Rowand CF Dye RF AJ C Ozuna 3B Harris SS Just a guess.

Get Marte back healthy. Add Gload to the bench.

Mike Sweeney 5-5, let's trade Konerko for him. /Wishful Thinking

How the f*** did he hit that out?

Freddy is dominant in afternoon games, but not so much at home. Hmmmmm.

Hung that one, didn't he? Was about to post how Mark battled his butt off and wasn't his fault if we lost.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 10, 2005 -> 12:47 AM) They have 2 studs in their bullpen but after that it ain't very good, I wouldn't call it a good bullpen. Rincon, Ducherer (sp?), and Street make them a good bullpen, IMO.

Until we upgrade at 3B, we are gonna have to suffer watching Crede take hacks. Ozuna is just proving valuable Crede's glove is.

You know it is a down year for 1B is Paulie is an All Star.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 10, 2005 -> 12:39 AM) Konerko has to come through right now. Earn your paycheck PK. Oy ve. Can't watch this. I'll just get pissed.

The Pods Effect

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 10, 2005 -> 12:26 AM) We're allowing Zito to pitch those pitches when we want to. If he throws a first pitch fastball right down the plate, we should be swinging. Also, we act like we've never heard that he throws a curveball when he gets two strikes. When we swing at the first pitch, other people b****. Can't please everyone I guess.

You guys are acting like we should be hitting Zito. When he can throw his fastball, change AND curve for strikes at anytime, we're f***ed. Tip your caps to him.

Nice job, Paulie.

I have absolutely no confidence in Paulie in this situation. Please prove me wrong.
