QUOTE(greg775 @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:58 PM) We've got to ride out this slump. We're better than this. We do need to ship Anderson though and start playing our regulars every day until they drop or get hurt. No more Sunday lineups. When Ozzie was f***ing around the first few weeks with Sunday lineups after Sunday lineups everyone was saying its okay, like it was an extended Tuscon session. Unfortunately dropping games because we were resting our players in game 2, and using the Boone Logan experiment f***ed us today. We would be tied or in first place if we didnt play f*** up for the first week or so.

Bmac has already thrown a fastball harder than Garcia did all game long. And Bmac is not exactly a flame thrower.

Bmac walks the leadoff guy. Here we go.

QUOTE(SoxHawk1980 @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:51 PM) Robertson is getting better as he goes tonight. His innings are getting easier and easier. It almost looks like the Sox have given up. I'm sure they haven't, but it doesn't look like they are bearing down and fighting like hell, like they did last year. Our guys are in the I can hit a solo homer mode.

QUOTE(Ndgt10 @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:50 PM) Reinbecker is going to be a really good pitcher and so is Robertson. We are just running into some good pitchers lately. I am sure that Thome and Konerko and Dye are saying to themselves, we just got beat by a better player. Or its that they didnt execute.

Watching JohnnyCakes Robertson get all of these grounders to the left side, I feel like I am watching our hitters go up against Cy Reinbecker.

QUOTE(That funky motion @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:41 PM) Anderson all you nhave is your fielding,dont f*** that up too!! Anderson called it. The CF always has priority.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:38 PM) we can still win this f***ing game Sure its possible. But they need to start hitting with men in scoring position. They also need to stop running themselves out of innings, not executing and all other issues with our team.

QUOTE(Ndgt10 @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:38 PM) He just missed it. We used to just miss a lot of homers in 2001-2004.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:35 PM) the bottom line is that we are still in this game, down 3-1 in the fifth inning and we're discussing offseason surgery for Freddy. WTF? How about "let's get at least one back this inning" Well you think that his velocity drop is something normal that all pitchers go through.

Thanks Gooch for taking the pitch down the cock. Pathetic.

Everyone of our hitters sure seems to pull every pitch.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:31 PM) 101 pitches for Freddy. He will come out for the 6th. Guaranteed. And he will give up 1-3 runs. I smell offseason surgery for Freddy. He will f*** us this year with his poor arm, and he will f*** us when we try to trade him.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:31 PM) Even solid players aren't available at this point. And if you trade for them, you are going to overpay for just a solid player. Is there someone available that can catch a fly ball and hit 240.

QUOTE(Wedge @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:30 PM) I thought i couldn't imagine a worse batter than Royce Clayton. Royce had a better BA than both Anderson and Uribe.

How long before our hitters give up on singles and doubles and try to hit homers every AB.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:28 PM) Sweeney's the best looking hitter I've seen in our minors in a while. He isnt hitting too hot in the minors right now. Somewhere in our minors we have a problem. We have the inability to correct a swing that is the same for all of our hitters.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:26 PM) I don't. Haven't the Yankees just promoted several minor league OF's who have hit well in place of Sheffield and Matsui? If the team with practically no system can have production from their system why can't we? Because their prospects dont all have long looping swings like our prospects. Every hitter that comes up has a carbon copy swing. Long looping pull homer swing.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:26 PM) I don't know about that. He's done it before. Who is he supposed to bring up to replace him? He needs to trade. Bringing up another long looping swing from the minors is not the answer.

QUOTE(Ndgt10 @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:23 PM) HR by BA here will tie the game! How the f*** can he hit this bad. A f***ing pitcher has a better approach at the plate. Who the f*** is working with this kid to make him better. I see no improvement. He just pulls off every pitch, trying to have a full cut. Shorten the f***ing swing up, and dump it into right. How about a novell idea, short quick stroke.

QUOTE(Ndgt10 @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:22 PM) Crede pops up a 3-0 pitch. Why is Crede swinging on 3-0? Because we have our heads up our asses.

QUOTE(tigerfan @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:21 PM) Wilson has done well for us in the catching position this year. Plays like that one are why. Special

This is how you lose a division. You do stupid s***, and f*** yourselves.

QUOTE(JackTalkThai @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:18 PM) You're right they do...and I'm posting there tonight as well. ESPN also has a message board...and shockingly, I'm posting there as well. RealGM...yep you got it. I ask, why constrict yourself to just one point of view? I dont rememeber ever seen a tiger fan out on these boards, now all of a sudden we have two one who posts only when the tigers are doing good. If I wanted a generic point of view I would post at MLB.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:16 PM) By the way, Ozzie, get Bmac up. He will let his wifes relative pitch as much as he wants. He has the slowest hook with Freddy. Freddy has to give up at least 10 runs before Ozzie takes him out. After the game, he will talk about how Freddy battled and how he was unlucky.
