Milkman delivers

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 22, 2005 -> 04:53 PM) come on people, he gave up a pop fly homer, it wasnt a bad pitch, and any other day that would have been in the mitt. Great game by everyone, good series, lets take em at the CELL It's not just about one game. LV has sucked so bad this year. He is hurting the team.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ May 22, 2005 -> 04:50 PM) If Viz could throw his fastball for strikes he'd be a lot more dominate, unfortunately the only thing he throws for strikes is his slider and pitchers just wait for him to leave it up (and he does it far too often) and bam...HR. Let's send this bag of s*** to the Cubs, they could always use another BP arm. Sure, he sucks, but he's better than most of their guys. This is the first guy that I've said we should trade for anything. He truly is worthless here. Get a prospect or something out of him.

I think this is the one player on this team that deserves his own thread that says he needs to go. This whole year, we've had thread on just about everyone, PK, Dye, Contreras, Garcia, Timo, etc. But, all of those guys have been good for this team at some point. They've all come out of their funks. Vizcaino has not done this. He has sucked on a consistent basis this entire season. He hasn't earned a spot on this club. He always lets runners score and he can't hold a lead or last more than 1 inning without sucking. This guy is pure garbage now. He can't survive on two pitches. It's time to say goodbye to Viz and bring up Bajenaru.

Cub "fans" celebrate like they won the World Series. A big f*** you to Luis Vizcaino. I hope you never pitch for the Sox again because you certainly don't deserve it. A big congratulations goes out to Brandon McCarthy. You really stepped up in a pressure-filled situation and flat out performed. You have an extremely bright future. In conclusion, f*** Vizcaino. He needs to go. Absolute hot garbage.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ May 22, 2005 -> 04:35 PM) here's to hoping prior's arm falls off since dusty dones't have a bullpen. I was thinking that exact same thing. Let them get a cheap win off of us to appease their fans and screwing up Prior in the process.

Good job, PK! He's clutch.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ May 22, 2005 -> 04:30 PM) It always seems like we give a game away to the Cubs. I don't know if you would call giving this away, but there shouldn't have been that homer. I'd call it giving it away. Viz had no business touching the mound in a close game. Pretty much any other reliever (besides Cotts, who lets all inherited runners score) would have gotten the job done.

Shingo still sucks, I guess.

Alright, no more optimism. This one's over.

QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ May 22, 2005 -> 04:10 PM) Carl would be the best option. With the way he's been batting from the left side recently? He looks like a pitcher when he's batting LH now. I'd much rather have Harris, as long as he kept the ball down.

QUOTE(qwerty @ May 22, 2005 -> 04:07 PM) I sure hope we pinch hit with timo again like yesterday. If Prior is still pitching, it actually might just be Timo. I'd rather have Harris, though, if it has to be a lefty.

QUOTE(qwerty @ May 22, 2005 -> 04:04 PM) Vizcaino has had excuses all year. I wonder now if he should be gone with Timo when Frank gets back. How much is Viz making? At this point, he should be paying us to pitch.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ May 22, 2005 -> 04:05 PM) Terrible inning for us. I think a L is in the cards today. We're going to PH someone to start off the next inning, then it's the top of the order. We're definitely not out of it, yet. They just have to shut down the Cubs' offense for a few innings.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ May 22, 2005 -> 04:02 PM) i agree, vizcy has been downright awful, no idea why ozzie still believes in him, he tends to do that with some guys (ie: timo). Pulling Bmac was the right move though No doubt about pulling McCarthy. Just should've used someone else. Damn it, Uribe.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ May 22, 2005 -> 03:58 PM) no, i'm not mad. 1) we already won the series, i don't expect my team to sweep every series. 2) I wasn't expecting a W today, with a ML debut AND prior on the mount. 3) That ball was a flyout in every other park. 4) we're the best team in baseball, i'm not gonna flip out after a loss, we're due. I wasn't expecting to win at all, either. And I'm happy that we won the series, but I'm not mad that we might lose this game. It's how this happened. Viz is downright bad this year and he had no right to be in there. When I saw him warming up the last inning, I was wondering why he would come in. Oh, well... First two men on, Dye up.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ May 22, 2005 -> 03:54 PM) i'm starting to agree with you, way too many drama queens. You're not mad? I can honestly say I haven't been this mad the whole year. McCarthy was having a great game. Vizcaino has been truly awful this year, and he had no reason to be in this game. He can't even be a mop-up guy because he can't last more than 1 inning. At least we can still win this game. f***in Viz.

What is wrong with Ozzie? It's clear that Viz sucks this year, yet he brings him into close games. f***, I'm so pissed. I threw my coke off the wall.

Get rid of Vizcaino, he sucks.

Great, Vizcaino.

I love Pods' speed. What I don't love is that this ump is squeezing McCarthy a little in his ML debut.

Hey, the Bears released Edinger...it's about time. McCarthy goes 3-0 to Blanco.

Dye is so on fire right now!

S-O-L-I-D inning for McCarthy. Let's get some runs!

Despite that it was a double play, AJ smoked that pitch. We've been smoking a lot of Prior's pitches today.

AHHHHHHHHH! Derrek Lee is pretty good at 1st.
