QUOTE(RockRaines @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 10:38 PM) Say all you want, this bullpen has lost us too many games this month, and now has shut the door on the playoffs for us. Absolutely. They have almost every loss we've had.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 10:37 PM) We bring in a guy who hasn't had any control all year with the bases loaded. And now we go to a guy who's back is falling off. Good thing he didn't just leave Thornton, who's clearly our only reliable reliever after MacDougal's injury. What's the over/under on days before MacDougal and torn labrum are mentioned in the same sentence?

Boone Logan is one of the worst things to happen to this team. It's unbelievable how poorly Ozzie is managing this team.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 10:34 PM) Yes its very nice for the Oakland A's to take a lead over us... I never said that. I'm not a part of the Frank "circle jerk" that goes on around here. However, if Ozzie keeps being ignorant in the media, then good for Frank to shove it up his ass. Who in the hell is Ozzie Guillen to criticize Frank's ability as a baseball player?

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 10:33 PM) I hope there's beer in the locker room afterwards. Who cares about the game. We need to hire a policeman to hang out around the Cell after the game, and bust Ozzie for DUI. Maybe he'll pull a Mel Gibson-esque rant, and get himself fired.

In a way, it's nice to see Frank shove it up Ozzie's ass.

What a team full of pussies.

Go F yourself Sandy.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 10:30 PM) I hate this place (Oakland that is) I hate our team's psyche.

Our relief has given up runs in like 90 pct of our games over the last 20 or so games.

Ozzie took out our only good reliever for someone who's been out 4 days due to an injury. He sure has the magic tough this season.

QUOTE(My Dixie Normus @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 10:27 PM) Vaz gets screwed again. Well, if he could ever not choke in the 6th inning, maybe he'd get more wins.

MacDougal looked like he wasn't comfortable in the bullpen when they showed him earlier in the inning.

Our bullpen chokes again. We just flat out suck. Who in the hell teaches our minor league players fundamentals?

Ugh...gotta throw strikes to that non-home run threat.

Wow...that looked like strike 3.

Thornton doing Johnson a favor by throwing his weak slider.

Wow...that first pitch was right down the plate.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 10:10 PM) yeah i know that, but this sixth inning was NOT a failure. thats what you dont understand Ok...I'll replaced "failed" with "doesn't do well".

Vazquez is at 98 pitches, but he's been up in the zone the past two innings. Ozzie will probably let him start the inning, but I hope MacDougal and Thornton are ready this inning.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 10:08 PM) thats ridiculous The stats don't lie. He fails almost every time he pitches in the 6th inning.

Nice AB PK

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 10:07 PM) Seriously, did you even look at the replays of Frank's swing there? He barely got that pitch, and he just muscled it out. Yes, I saw it. He was fooled by the pitch call, but it was still a meatball enough of a pitch for him to get out with not much behind the swing. Am I the only one that saw a hanging curveball?

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 10:04 PM) Lol even the announcers were like we have no clue how he hit that one out with that swing... some times you guys need to learn to give credit to the hitters. Especially future HoF's. Vazquez hasn't seen an offspeed pitch he won't hang in the 6th inning.

Cotts is warming up? What in the hell is going on in our dugout?
