Wow, that really hurts. That would have likely scored two runs.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 6, 2005 -> 02:16 AM) Tad's gonna have to be the one to come through. Arow vs Nelson is not a good matchup unless of course Jeff were to hang a slider. I was thinking the same. I'd rather see Timo than Rowand against Nelson.

Nelson is just nasty on righty. Poor Ozzie, the one time where he can't go lefty/righty in the lineup, we face one of the better righty relievers against righty hitters.

If Iguchi can come through against Nelson here, he deserves to be our MVP (which is something that it would be nice to go a game without hearing Hawk say how 10 different players on our team deserve it on August 5th).

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 6, 2005 -> 02:10 AM) I'm happy they brought in the lefty here. Helps scotty stay on the ball, good thing when you're struggling. You would have thought that would be the case.

Terrible AB by Pods.

Pods has his work cut out for him here. This guy seems tough.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 6, 2005 -> 02:09 AM) Definitely, Pods has looked BAD swinging it lately He's been bunting just as bad.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 6, 2005 -> 02:07 AM) This is more like it. Not everything has to be bashed to mars. Just string a few hits together. Keep the line moving. It's funny comparing the swings of Crede and Uribe this inning.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Aug 6, 2005 -> 02:07 AM) Alright Scotty, basehit now. We're playing baseball now.... Almost feels like too little, too late against Pineiro. We sure had a lot of good pitches to hit.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 6, 2005 -> 02:04 AM) Yes, I said that already. SSI uses this same crap argument all the time "It's because he's latino, it's because he's ozzie's relative" etc. It's ridiculous, he always lets the pitchers try and get wins, that's the way he manages. I've disagreed with a lot of ozzie's moves this year but for the most part he's been right and most of us have been wrong. Ozzie knows what he's doing, period. While I'll agree that Ozzie doesn't leave Garcia specifically in because he's family/latino....I'm still not ready to say that Ozzie knows what he's doing in regards to in-game managing. There's no questions he's a great motivator though.

Nelson must have returned from his leave today.

We'll take it! At least Uribe has a chance to hit a homer and tie it here. He did crank one off of Pineiro early this year.

This is f***ing sickening. Crede couldn't have swung more straight up if he tried.

Can this team score 2 runs to tie this game up? I'm pretty sure Jeff Nelson isn't with the team this wknd.

Rowand44.....do you think Ozzie should pull Garcia now?

Garcia has lost about 3 mph on his fastball this inning.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 6, 2005 -> 01:58 AM) Well Freddy is over 100 pitches. Most managers would say maybe he is tired and start to get the pen up. But then again, not many pitchers are married to relatives of the manager. Maybe he will start the next inning. How can Garcia get the win then?

Wow, why wasn't the infield in? We just gave them that insurance run.

f***, this game is close to being late fast. Time to take Garcia out Ozzie! Garcia's been giving up a ton of runs late in his starts lately.

I hope someone is getting ready in the pen.

Haha, Hawk's complaining about the umpire. I've thought we've received every single call so far in this game.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 6, 2005 -> 01:52 AM) We have had a TON of good pitches to hit tonite. :headshake Yes we have. I hope they keep Pineiro in a little longer. However, I have no faith in the bottom of our order right now (unless we need Blum to hit the ball to the right side).

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 6, 2005 -> 01:52 AM) GIDP This is focking Corpseball. Solo Homers, and then nothing. Any other team lights up this turd. He has averaged at least giving up 4 runs lately. And he has a plus 6 ERA. Do you contribute anything to this board other than pointing out that a pitcher is not good, and we should be hitting him better than we are?

Ugh!
