QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 15, 2006 -> 02:06 PM) He should of been at third. That was like a swinging bunt. No way, he would have been a dead duck. And you don't run on contact with nobody out and a ball hit to the left side of 2nd base. BA didn't get the job done, nothing to blame Cintron for. Mussina is looking nasty, I have no idea how Iguchi is even still batting.

damnit

Mark looks fine to me. He's getting ahead in most counts and his changeup is looking good. He's always going to rely on pitching to contact, lets hope this is one of those days were he doesn't leave too many 88 mph cookies up and over the plate.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 15, 2006 -> 01:50 PM) AJ hadn't played in nearly a week. I think Widger played because Johnson was on the mound and he took him deep last year. If that's true, that's about the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

Jesus, hit it right at him some more, bad luck.

This ump has a pretty small zone today. Consistent so far though. Mussina looks very sharp, could be a long day if we can't get to the pen by the 7th.

QUOTE(tealeafreaderii @ Jul 15, 2006 -> 01:13 AM) yeah... when the media started making a big deal about it his play started to decline... I wonder if that was a contributing factor. Please don't tell me you're blaming the media for his poor pitching?

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 14, 2006 -> 09:31 PM) Which is why I'm all in favor of a blockbuster trade right now for any superstar. When you have to scratch and claw to barely beat the Red Sox at home, it should signal something. Eh, it's a short stretch and it's not like the Sox are getting blown out. The team could be improved for sure. The first thing to do would be to tell Ozzie TO NEVER PLAY the scrubs againt the elite of the AL. Let them sit against the Royals. Chris Widger is junk and if KW really wants to upgrade the team at no cost he finds a backup catcher capable of a) hitting, or B) catching. Widger can't do either.

Man, Ozzie really overthinks things sometimes. He burns through pitchers too quick, that's my one quibble with his bullpen usage this year.

GREAT JOB BMAC! Come on, DP right here...

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 14, 2006 -> 09:18 PM) I'm not sure why I read any of your posts to be honest. LOL, the new game threads just ain't the same... You're...a meanie! A dirtball! Darnit!

good work by count today, this is the form he'll need the rest of the season.

Bring back Ron Karkavice.

dare I say it's Ozuna time?

uh, why did we just int walk giambi to get to Arod?

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jul 14, 2006 -> 08:21 PM) Your man is Chris Stewart. Thanks, he couldn't do any worse than Widger, could he?

Jesus, I'm about about ready to DFA Widge and bring up whats his name.

wow, held them to two, good job I guess.

great read. I wish the Chicago media was as good as the Times.

GO ROYALS!

QUOTE(Beltin @ Jul 13, 2006 -> 06:00 PM) I actually bike to work from Oak Park to the West Loop everyday. The ride in is usually quiet but the ride home down Washington can get a little tense from Laramie until Austin. I am too highbrow to be white trash but "white boy" is sometimes a term of endearment that I hear. Not a really comfortable situation but I would not put it on par with the organized, institutional racism that became entrenched in our society since the slave trade was revived in the 1500s. Exactly. If you're White, you have had the socioeconomic advantage (will anyone even dispute that?) for the past 500 years or so. Don't ignore it, but don't make so called "reverse racism" into some rallying cry about double standards.

I certainly appreciate the "free of charge" policy of Soxtalk and will do everything I can to show my appreciation through countless posts--clean, mindless, and inane posts!

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 13, 2006 -> 07:01 PM) Ya think? Haha yea, if he can't get outs in the NL CENTRAL, with 2 of the most putrid offenses in MLB, how the hell is he going to get the Blue Jays and Red Sox out? Baltimore and the Rays are better than the Cubs and Royals by themselves.

Wow, Cashman is desperate. Ponson is going to get destroyed in the AL.
