QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 01:23 AM) Neither of those last two called strikes have been called all night. That is crap. Doesn't matter, the 3-1 pitch was in the same place as the 3-2 pitch. We all know Timo is a f***ing moron and all.....but if you're going to swing at the 3-2 pitch before that one which was clearly high, then swing at the f***ing pitch on the outside corner.

So Timo takes the strikes, and swings at the balls? Why can't he just leave already....and take his boyfriend Ozzie with him.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 01:18 AM) So, have we seen enough of Vizcaino to decide that he sucks? Do we need to give him another month to f*** us over? If you don't realize he sucks now, you are retarded. Walker, same deal. Vizcaino did nothing wrong last inning. He forced the DP by the second batter he faced. We should have never pitched to Molina with an open base.

Lets see what Ozzie has f***ed up tonight: - Started Timo at 1b - Benched Iguchi for the 2nd time in 4 games - Let Kevin Walker, a reliever who hasn't pitched in over a week, start the 7th when we're up one against top of Angels order. - Left Walker in to give up 4 base runners to first 5 hitters he faced, with the only out being a deep fly out. - Pitched to McPhereson, who's swing great lately, instead of walking him to face the slowest hitter in the majors, Molina...in a definitely double play situation. - Pitched to Molina with first base open when a guy who was recently called up from the minors was up next (and ended up hitting into a DP). There's absolutely no excuse for this.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 01:14 AM) i usually stick up for oz, but today this is absolutely ridiculous. We've been hearing that a lot lately, havent we? Ozzie's the worst manager with strategy in baseball.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 01:12 AM) Minny's bullpen is awesome. Nathan, Crain, Romero, and Rincon are all very, very good. Gardenhire also does a great job at putting his bullpen in a position to succeed. Their pen almost always starts the inning, instead of coming in when a pitcher gets in trouble.

I would take Bevington or Maneul's strategy ability over Ozzie's in a heartbeat.

Is it safe to say that Ozzie's having the worst managerial weak in the history of the Sox? The funny thing is that we're 2-0 this week. I know a lot of people talk about how good our record would be if we had better hitting. I'm thinking that our record would be even better if we had a good, or even average, manager.

Hopefully that's the last time that terrible f***ing pitcher Walker ever puts on a Sox jersey. We should release him tonight.

Anyone that defends our piece of s*** manager now should really get their head examined. He has no f***ing clue what he's doing.

I'm just speechless right now. Why is our manager so f***ing bad?

Does our manager f***ing suck or what? When everyone in the free world can tell Timo will f*** up at 1b or Walker wont be able to retire the top of the Angels order, dont you think something is wrong?

Does Ozzie really think Walker can get these batters out? It's like our team has to win despite our manager.

Thankfully, we played Timo. Thus, the advantage of having someone who's never played the position before in the majors has really paid off. What will Ozzie do next?

QUOTE(longshot7 @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 12:28 AM) I don't know if anyone cares, but here's the matchups for the Indians series: Fri: Hernandez vs Westbrook (2-7, 5.03) Sat: Garland v Tallett (0-0, 0.00) MLB Debut subbing for Millwood? Sun: Buehrle v Sabathia (4-3, 3.58) We have our work cut out for us. Westbrook vs Hernandez is a terrible match-up for us, and C.C. has looked dynamite his last few starts.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 12:22 AM) Is that Timo Perez I see at first? Gees. Yep, and he cost us at least 2 runs, and possibly more with his performance at 1b.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 12:15 AM) Some have defended timo's one handed s*** saying he never drops one but his lazy back hand cost us two runs. RELEASE TIMO We need to start the OMIT TIMO group at Sox games.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 12:06 AM) Why does Kenny believe Timo deserves a roster spot, he knows Gload is ready, so why doesn't he put Timo on waivers? It's pretty simple....and I'm not talking about the Ozzie-Timo connection.

QUOTE(That funky motion @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 12:05 AM) And that throw was right on! It almost hit him in the wrist!

That's another run on your ass Ozzie. You're a terrible f***ing manager, who needs to stop letting Timo blow you for playing time.

That runs on you Ozzie.

There's no excuse to ever have to play Timo at 1b. You don't see Hawk and DJ blowing Timo now, do you?

This is why you don't play a f***ing piece of s*** at 1b. That was an error on Timo, and Anderson's hit was a ball that potentially a play could have been made on.

We're making McPherson look like an all-star lately.

It seems like we're trying to be patient against Byrd, even though he has very good control.
