QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 9, 2006 -> 08:47 PM) Good grief....this is getting ridiculous. McCarthy absolutely stinks on the mound. And we're bringing in Hermanson. And McDowell is real questioning Ozzie for pulling Garland when he did. Fathom, the score was 10-1! Let Garland rest for the pennant race. McDowell is s*** for saying that!

QUOTE(3E8 @ Sep 9, 2006 -> 08:46 PM) . BMAC is GARBAGE! Get him out of there NOW!!! Don't anyone tell me he's a future CY! What a laugh!

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 9, 2006 -> 08:21 PM) Get Gload in at 1B, and Sweeney or Mackowiak into RF. Now I wholeheartedly agree with you Fathom.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Sep 9, 2006 -> 02:16 AM) Where does the term first guessing come from...? BTW, if every manager knew everything, all the time, and made every correct decision...no manager would ever get fired. Don't tell that to these Ozzie haters. They are the virtual armchaired know-it-all managers. They would never make a mistake. Oh my gosh, why Hermanson is warming up? Put Jenks in. After two doubles, oh my gosh, Jenks is not doing well, put Thornton in. And if two more doubles, should have left Jenks in there...

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 10:50 PM) Jesus, Fathom and most everyone else has praised Ozzie in this game and others for good moves, when he makes a horrific one like this he will also get called on it. Kalapse, go back and look at Fathom's threads. And I see nothing wrong with leaving Jenks in there. If we got beat, we got beat. Does anyone here know exactly how Jenks' health is? Or we are just assuming to fit our argument?

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 10:46 PM) Nope, Torre doesn't pitch Rivera if he's not feeling good. There's been at least three games this year where he didn't put Rivera out there, as he knew he wasn't 100 percent. If Jenks was healthy, then I would have had no problem with him being left out there that long. Stop lying Fathom. If Jenks was healthy, you would have still jumped on Ozzie. Admit it! You are just watching every single negative that you can find to blame on Ozzie. Since last year!

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 10:43 PM) No, we didn't want Hermanson to be closing. I have no problem with Jenks starting this inning. However, once he got to a situation where Sizemore could do damage, you have to pull him. Jenks is our f***ing closer, if you are not aware! Do you think Torres will pull Mariano after two men got on base when his team is leading by two runs? Have some decency to acknowledge this is all on Jenks!

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 10:39 PM) When your closer is injured, you pull his freaking ass before you face one of the best lefties in baseball. You guys are A BUNCH OF f***ING WHINERS! Blame f***ing everything on Ozzie. At the sight of Hermanson warming up, you guys were pulling for Jenks to close. Now Jenks failed, you blame on Ozzie. You guys are so f***ing pathetic!

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 10:38 PM) The fatman was flown back to Chicago in the middle of a series because he had a bad hip. Ozzie sees how many doubles before he takes him out. You have to be blind not to see what is going on. Come on, you were the one who wanted Jenks to pitch in the 9th. Don't give me that crap!

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 06:28 PM) If Contreras gets out of the inning unscathed, I think the White Sox will salvage this game. I will personally hold you to it.

QUOTE(Friend of Nordhagen @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 06:24 PM) And not with a lot of life on them, it appears. Count does not seem to have anything right now! This can get ugly in a hurry.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 01:20 PM) Come on, you really think Anderson's good 2nd half has made this team slump? When he wasnt hitting a lick we were actually in 1st place. His glove has saved us more times that his bat has hurt us. Uribe is more of a liability IMO. Rock, I have nothing against Anderson, but to see people stating his value equivalent to Garland is just so absurd. Garland has been one of the best pitchers after the Allstar break. I am done with this thread. Go ahead and drink the Anderson Kool-Aid!

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 01:14 PM) Yeah the .672 OPS ARod put up in '95 was pretty f***ing awesome. ROOKIES STRUGGLE FOR THE FIRST FEW MONTHS OF THEIR PRO CAREERS HOLY s***! And take a look at what pujols did last week, he had a s*** couple of games most players tend to do this, especially when they're not used consistantly. If I can live again, again and again, I would take Arod over Brian Anderson again, again, and again until eternity... Your statement is so absurd!

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 01:10 PM) Anderson = Garland for 2006 They both had 2 horrendous months which fried thier stats for the season yet have picked it up substantially over the past 3 months improving thier season stats but not to the point where it's going to look anywhere near excellent when the season ends. Garland turned his season around on June 13, Anderson; June 11th. Perhaps if people ditched the lame ass "hall of fame" and "man crush" s*** and actually paid attention to the play on the field there wouldn't be the same f***ing arguments in 5 threads right now. Give me a f****** break! It's just so absurd of you to even stating Anderson is equivalent to Garland in terms of helping the team to win games or even to stop the losing streak! Tell me how many games has BA won for us. How many times has he stopped our losing streak? I've seen so many times that he could not get the runners in. I even remembered one game when a man on third with one out, and he could not even lift a flyball so that the runner can score. You know what he did? Nothing, whiff! Strike out!

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 01:10 PM) Oh please. The guy's got a .663 OPS on the season. That's f***ing terrible. There's no cherry picking there. If we are going to talk about not having cherry picking allowed, why not talk about the entire season. And if the entire season is the case, BA STINKS! There is no point in twitching this fact around at least this year. Perhaps, he will be better next year, but as far as this year is concerned, BA is a great disappointment.

QUOTE(beautox @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 12:59 PM) how is he supposed to drive in runs when there is no one on base, taz sucks, and ajp has gone in full pull mode since the ASB and can be seen in his stats. Show me two or three Center Fielders in the AL & NL that are worse than BA.

QUOTE(beautox @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 12:52 PM) Who has he had infront of him for a good portion of the season? Taz. If you are a good hitter, regardless of who is infront of you, you will still be good. Face it. Brian Anderson so far STINKS this year.

QUOTE(Wealz @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 12:47 PM) In his last 10 games, Anderson is 6-for-27 with 1 run batted in. Overall on the road this season, his line is an embarrassing .204/.283/.299. He has knocked in 7 runs in 167 road AB's. Watch out! Many blind people on here still think he's the MVP! Brian Anderson STINKS this year.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 04:06 PM) I'm not giving up on BMacs career, but I don't want to see him late or close. It's not that I do want to give up BMAC, but according to quite a few people on here, BMAC is our future CY. That my friend will not be happening! When I see him pitch, he just look averaged to me. I trade BMAC for Liriano or Verlander in an 1/10000000000th of a heartbeat!

QUOTE(beautox @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 04:02 PM) woo yeah, 5-3 tampa bay lead. Don't you ever tell me how GOOD McCarthy is! He is so averaged! And what absurd is that noone wants to trade BMAC for Soriano!

All right Devil Rays, let us win this game - pretty please!

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 03:36 PM) If Young bats this inning we are going to lose the game. One thing I learned in life is NEVER EVER concede our victory before the ball game is over.

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 03:35 PM) Joe Crede is thinking to himself i need to end this series my next at bat. Crede is one of my favorite players in a clutched situation. Man, he's good!

QUOTE(beautox @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 03:29 PM) fixed. Crappy teams have the knack to play real well against us, and don't you DARE fixing my grammar again!

QUOTE(chisoxfan79 @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 03:27 PM) that means Jenks probaly not available for first two games of Kc series Man, after this nail-biting series with the Devil Rays, now we are going to face another "scrappy" team. It doesn't seem we play that great against the scrappy teams.
