Timo is such a worthless piece of s***.

Timo can't leave the Sox soon enough for me. He's my most hated Sox player ever!

Terrible job by Hernandez keeping the momentum for our team.

Ozzie should get someone up in the pen, as El Duque has nothing tonight.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 15, 2005 -> 09:35 PM) By the way, off topic ... did anyone hear any more info on Zambrano's forearm injury? They were supposed to comment on it today. No, I haven't heard anything new about Zambrano. With the type of discomfort they said he was having.....I don't think he'll pitch this wknd. That's just my personal opinion though.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 15, 2005 -> 09:30 PM) Aaron has 1 assist, Pods has 2 Yeah, but you also get assists if the throw goes home, and they then throw out another runner on the bases. Sosa would always get like 10 assists a year because of that ruling.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 15, 2005 -> 09:26 PM) Podsednik threw a guy out at the plate I'm pretty sure. You sure, I really don't recall that?

Out of curiosity, the Sox outfielders don't have any assists this year, do they? I can't recall a single player being thrown out by a Sox outfielder.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 15, 2005 -> 09:22 PM) There was no catching that ball That would have been a real tough play, but he sure didn't seem to get a good jump on the ball. I'm not making the assumption he's a bad outfielder just because of that play though. He hasn't impressed me in the field at all this season. Hell, his best defensive play was the throw home against the A's where the runner was called safe.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ May 15, 2005 -> 09:22 PM) Vizcaino sucks too. I'm so sick of seeing his f'n slider. He seems to be suffering from the same testicle loss as Garcia.

Pods is a terrible outfielder, isn't he?

QUOTE(JimH @ May 15, 2005 -> 09:18 PM) So what exactly is Guillen doing wrong again? JimH.....there's nothing that Ozzie could have done after the 3rd inning or so. I apologize if I didn't make my point clear. I don't blame Ozzie for this game at all. Rather, I just would have liked to see us try to create some offense in the first few innings when we had leadoffs guys on base. In the scheme of things, it doesn't look like one manufactured run would have mattered in the end.

The one thing I've learned from this wknd is that Cotts can't be counted on for damage control situations. His wildness just seems to flame the fire.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 15, 2005 -> 09:12 PM) Oh stop it. First of all, Podsednik is trying to bunt for a hit. The last thing they're doing is playing stationary baseball, Iguchi is constantly trying to hit it up the middle or the opposite way. That's exactly the point though. We've been doing a great job with the top of our order not playing stationary baseball. We all know Ozzie can't do anything about the slow, crappy hitters in the middle of our order right now. However, we've been very successful at having guys like Pods bunt in similar situations, especially when we're facing a confident pitcher like Bedard. It seems like Pods has got on nearly every time he's bunted this season. I'm not complaining about Iguchi's approach......it's just that he's very prone to hitting into double plays with that particular approach. It's great for when Pods can steal 2nd base, etc.

Haha....I'd be a lot more excited if Cotts didn't put this game out of reach. Nice to see though.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 15, 2005 -> 09:07 PM) What, pray tell, is he supposed to do? No reason for Pods not to be bunting in the 3rd inning after the leadoff walk to Crede. Pods is our best bunter, and is a good bet to beat out even an average bunt. Also, we don't utilize Iguchi in terms of hit-and-run. Iguchi hits a ton of grounders, and will continue to hit into a lot of double plays if we try and play stationary baseball. The combination of Pods on the bases and Iguchi at the plate should be perfect for hit-and-runs, even if Pods can't get a good jump against a lefty.

Am I the only one sickened by the fact our two RF options right now are Dye and Timo? Seems like we can't benefit either way by benching Dye or playing him.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 15, 2005 -> 09:02 PM) Crede hasn't hit for a good 2 weeks, then he makes an awful error. That's game. No offense, but why is the game over now? Only one run scored on Crede's error. This game was lost by terrible ABs and Ozzie sitting back and waiting for the 3 run homer against a pitcher who has allowed one homer all year. Our offense has got to pick it up, because we can't count on bloops and seeing-eyed singles from Iguchi all season as our main source of offense.

You can't have a f***ing reliever who is just as likely to hit a batter, throw a wild pitch, or walk the first hitter as he is to get the batter out. Cotts is not a major league pitcher....period. His career ERA blows.

Why not let Widger hit there? He's easily a better power threat vs a lhp than Everett is. Oh well, terrible pitching and managing tonight.

The Ozzie Guillen special.....leave your batter in for one batter too long (even though Garcia should have never started the 7th).

Good job by Garcia thought retiring Mora and Tejada. Sox need to keep being tough outs in this game like they've been doing.

Since when did Garcia throw 88 mph fastballs? I'm fairly certain that he was throwing 94-95 mph last year when we got him.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ May 15, 2005 -> 12:26 AM) Freddy sucks donkey balls today. Tie f***ing game. Freddy's looked pretty bad all season. He's been saved by some great pitching conditions, which probably lowered his ERA by about 1 full run.

Garcia has yet to prove anything to me this season. He's pitching like absolute s*** tonight. He's lost like 3 mph on his fastball, and has no bite on his curve.
