QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:48 PM) Racist "sounding". Interpretation is individual. Now this is where I draw the line. Making an accusation like this is a bit more than just saying "Interpretation is invidual".

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:45 PM) No.. because it's ignorant and incredibly racist sounding. How is it racist. Now we are stretching a bit.

QUOTE(Cubs Suck23 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:43 PM) you need to lay off the latin crap dude... Why because Ozzie values his latin players a bit more. I am sure Timo would be playing 1st for the Angels late in games.

Its all about a latin name I guess. Well we have a lefty hitting in AAA at about a .380 clip with an over .1.00 OPS. But he cant play OF so he stays down. If his name was Gloadriguez he is up and playing. We have a midget who masquarades as a 1st baseman because he can pinch hit and provides a dancing partner for our manager. We have Willie who should be anywhere but here, but he is here, because Gload isnt liked. If you are latin and a pitcher you can throw 100 pitches and then start that inning.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:35 PM) Don't expect kenny to overreact because of one series. If he makes a move it'll be because it makes sense for the team not because they lost 1 series and not just to make a move. Acutally 3 out of 5 series. We won the tampa series and the injun series we lost two to the A's and now to the tigers.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:32 PM) Anyone who thinks our pitching alone will get us the WS and playoff wins, needs to look at what teams with good hitting can do to us. We are going to get a good shot of how this will work when we face the Bosox with two cubans.

We have 7 hits in two games. The offense is clicking guys.

Ozzie pulled this s*** the other night. Left in the count about 3 batters too long. I know this is some family friend and all but give it FOCKING Up. He had over a 100 pitches going into that inning. STUPID STUPID STUPID move. Now we have to get 2 back against a dude throwiing BB's.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:27 PM) Wasn't it pretty obvious pierzyski was gonna break his career high in homers? So a guy whos career BA is .288 and who all of a sudden breaks his career homer count midway through the season after batting 40 points lower doesnt sound like someone going for power only.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:27 PM) We get crazy farns in the 9th. Hopefully Pauly can turn around one of his heaters. Long Looping Swing Pauly. He will be 0-2 before you can sneeze and then will K on a slider in the dirt.

AJ is a perfect example 2004 BA .272 OBP .313 2003 BA .312 OBP .360 2002 BA .300 OBP.334 He averaged 11 homers This year he is Batting .247 with a .297 OBP. But already in July he has 12 homers a new career high. Now maybe he is just hitting them right at them all the time, or maybe he is just having a down year. Or maybe he signed a lower dollar amount contract and if he puts up say 20 homers he will get more moola after this year in arbitration. They need to move the fences back. This place can take any good hitter and make them a go for homer only hitter.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:12 PM) Im talking overall throughout the season. Our numbers speaks for themselves. Typically the middle of the order has at least 1 300 hitter, some serious OPS, and tons of RBI's especially with our lead off guys. The fact is, this isnt happening in our lineup. Scotty should have more runs, and the middle guys should have more RBI's, OPS, and BA We rank near the 12th out of 14 AL teams in BA and OBP. Our hitters are not patient and swing at bad pitches. If they worked counts more and hit pitches in the strikezone both of these numbers would be higher overall.

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:11 PM) While I agree that we need some offensive help and it is showing today, I'm not blaming our poor performance today entirely on our offense. Nate Robertson ain't bad. He's actually pretty good. Gotta give him some credit. Farmio was doing a number on the sox and how not everyone is Cy Young. How our offense is struggling. Maybe its not just a few people in game threads thinking this.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:05 PM) Someone made a chart in the off-seasont hat showed we were not anymore inconsistent than other teams around the league last year. I agree, scoring runs is a bad stat. It's all about the doubles and triples!1!1! And singles.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:04 PM) Ok bad relief, shields sucks, brazoban sucks, since sisco is on the royals he sucks as well, spurling has an era in the 2's but he sucks, wickman has an era in the 2's but he sucks, huston street sucks, etc, I don't feel like listing anymore guys, you guys want to give up already in this game, go right ahead. Maybe our team OBP and team BA are just smoke and mirrors. We really have lots of hits and get on base a lot but the score keeper is just sleeping during these moments.

QUOTE(T R U @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:00 PM) Thats kinda odd seeing how were 10th in the league in runs and 6th in the AL... it is possible no matter how you wanna look at it.. like I said its been done Oddly we were near the league lead last year in runs scored also. Scoring runs is a bad stat. You can score 10 runs one game, and then score 1 for a few nights and look like a good average.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 02:59 PM) Gotta love these threads, everyone giving up on a team that has come back time and time again in late innings to win games. Oh yeah, they're 62 and 30 also but our team sucks, the lineup is horrendous, blah blah blah. Unreal, honestly. We come back against bad relief and not the good starter that usually 2 to 4 hits us. On Monday we came back after Cy Douglas who 3 hit us left.

Farmio just made a comment that Roberston looks like we are not going to score another run on him today. Now Ozuna f***s up. Thanks for the B team today Ozzie. We have 2, 2 count them cubans pitching against boston.

This is how Garcia pitched on that Sunday against the A's. Everytime we scored a run, sleepy would give it right back.

Leadoff double

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 02:36 PM) Widge better be bunting here, unless he can't You are bunting to get to Uribe you realize.

2 walks WIGERMANIA for an RBI opp.

Leadoff Walk to Dye.

Dye Rowand Widger up GOOD LORD ROWAND HAS 70KS ALREADY

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 02:26 PM) Rowand tried to throw out Inge at 3rd and it him in the back , and ricochet foul. Inge scored Now after that play we can get some advertising dollars out of this.
