QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Jul 16, 2005 -> 04:42 PM) s***ty lineup. Oh well. Will we start both Pods and AJ against the lefty Lee tomorrow? I hope we play our nine best this Sunday I thought Elarton is starting tomorrow? And no, I don't want to see Pods sitting too often against LHP. He should not be used as a platoon player, and it's not like he struggles against LHP.

I thought something might have been up when Ozzie used Vizcaino instead of Shingo in the 9th inning last night. With Viz being our long man (that sounds bad, I know), those are the types of situations that Ozzie has used Shingo all year. I have no problems trading Shingo, as he clearly has seen his better pitching days, and is in the twilight of his career. Don't forget, we play a lot of games against AL Central teams in the 2nd half. They've all seen a lot of Shingo.

QUOTE(Winnin Ugly @ Jul 16, 2005 -> 02:37 AM) Glavine pitched a great game tonight Glavine in the AL would be a disaster. I'd rather have Lilly.

QUOTE(the People's Champ @ Jul 16, 2005 -> 01:59 AM) where should I thread it? i dont want to clutter the board with something thats only to my benefit. People won't get upset with that. That's a lot better topic than 80 pct of the stuff I've seen on there lately.

QUOTE(Tadahito15 @ Jul 16, 2005 -> 01:57 AM) Twins down to 7 outs..... They can't put K-Rod in soon enough for my liking. Twins have runner on 2nd, 2 outs.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 16, 2005 -> 01:53 AM) Nah, he was just a well...jabroni Wow. Didn't know that happened at all. As you can tell, I've tried to change my outlook on things. Never in a million years would I have thought we'd be up 10 games at this point in the season, so you won't hear b****ING from me for a while. I'll still say something is awful, like those 3 straight ABs earlier in the game by Everett, Dye, and Rowand. However, I'm going to try and lay off the FU Ozzie's every game.

QUOTE(the People's Champ @ Jul 16, 2005 -> 01:52 AM) Hey thanks anyway for trying, i think Ive come to terms that it is lost forever by now though. It was still very sweet hearing Hawk say my name on TV. thanks again I guarantee you that someone on here taped the game tonight. Start a thread after the game, and you'll probably get some help.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 16, 2005 -> 01:51 AM) HE GAWN Wow, what happened? Did he do anything specific to get banned?

BTW, what happened to Jabroni? Haven't seen him on in a few weeks?

QUOTE(3RDBASE @ Jul 16, 2005 -> 01:47 AM) what happened to the Uribe of old? I'm sure a lot of people would first guess steroids, but I don't think that's it. I think it has more to deal with him getting the guaranteed 3 year contract. The Colorado media went out of their way to state that all Uribe cared about in Colorado was getting the big money deal. Hopefully, Uribe can catch fire in the 2nd half and carry the team for a week or so.

Be nice if Cotts can have better stuff than he did his last outing. My blood pressure would surely appreciate a comfortable win for the Sox tonight.

QUOTE(Yoda @ Jul 16, 2005 -> 01:43 AM) Ozuna is 4 for 5. I would love to see this guy play SS and have Uribe on the bench for a while. Juan just isn't doing it offensively this season and he is in the starting lineup way too much. Biggest problem offensively with Uribe is that if he's not getting hits, he does nothing else to help your offense. Uribe doesn't make the pitcher work, and is far too often this season, an easy out. In a way, he's the anti-Vizquel at the plate in terms of being a easy out. It's disappointing, as I had high hopes for Uribe this season. He was so underrated last season, especially offensively.

Gotta love all the home team fans getting in the way of their own player from catching the ball.

Twins look to be tying the game at 3. 3-2, runner on 2nd, no outs.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 16, 2005 -> 01:34 AM) When Aaron swings like that...he's awesome. That short, quick, compact. Filthy. You can tell when his swing gets too long, cause he starts fouling off everything over the first base dugout.

Best swing I've seen by Rowand since his stretch of clutch hits against those west coast teams.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jul 16, 2005 -> 01:31 AM) This game is boring. I think I'll switch it over to the Bosox/Yanks pitcher's duel. That's funny, cause my girlfriend told me how boring the game was last night when I got home from work. I was like: The Sox could win a game 1-0 on a balk by the pitcher in the 20th inning, and I wouldn't care.....a win is a win!

J. Damon has the most quiet 27 game hit streak I can remember in a long time.

Way to keep the ball down Garcia!!

Wow, I thought for sure Ozzie was going to take Garcia out. Sizemore is much better against RHP than LHP. I'm pretty sure Cotts has had success for Sizemore this season. Tough call.

Angels are playing smallball, and winning 3-1.

Perralta was just begging to K that AB. Hopefully, that might stop Indians from gaining momentum. I bet Cotts will come in to face Sizemore.

That whole sequence was f***ing awesome. Bravo Ozzie!

That was awful. Big inning for Garcia here, with the top of the order lurking for the Indians. C.C. is done for the game.

Strikeout here would give Indians a lot of momentum. Even if Rowand makes an out, be better if he doesn't K.
