QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 09:33 PM) Let me be perfectly clear. You never metioned "lately". You were talking about Aaron's defense as a whole. If you meant, just this series, you were not clear. But your attack on SS2k5 was neither nice, appropiate nor smart. I wouldnt call SS2k5's comments appropriate or smart eihter. QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 21, 2005 -> 07:58 AM) And if you feel the need to be a complete dumbass when you argue a point, find somewhere else to post. Dude did you really need to put this in :headshake Make your point and leave it at that. With these comments there will be attacking from both sides, RibbieRubarb. You expect latino_heat30 to take this bulls***.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 21, 2005 -> 02:14 AM) Uribe makes more than Rowand in his 3 year deal. Just some food for thought. Thats just makes no sense to me at all. They are terrrific defensively but Rowand is better offensively and he is more consistent. No contest. Uribe has got to be the streakiest hitter on our lineup, followed by Konerko.

We gotta take each game one-by-one. Forget the record. Im tired of everybody saying relax, we got the best record. You gotta be concerned with our team right now. This is not a good time to go into a funk. We cannot execute and we can hardly put someone on base. OH YEAH, WHY THE HELL DID OZZIE LEAVE FREDDY OUT, THEY JUST HOMERED? DOES HE WANT FREDDY"S ARM TO FALL OFF?

Hope Scotty can kick-start this offense.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 04:18 PM) I think our bullpen and top 3 starters are awesome. I also love what Pods and Iguchi have done for us this season. But why is it such a crime to want upgrades in some other areas. of course

QUOTE(Antonio Osuna @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 04:16 PM) Freddy's not the one that hit a bunt into the air. TRUE. but he did throw a wild one that cost us a run.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 04:11 PM) Widger makes up for costing us a run earlier. Good job, I guess. MAN, that was all Freddy. LIke DJ said...He threw a fastball straight in the ground. Keep 'em still Fredy.

Widger brought his bat today.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:59 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. Unreal? What? We cant voice our opinions. Its obvious the hitting sucks right now. You want us to say this is the fun watching the hitting in this game. You'll see some more writing in green with that.

Maybe i was wrong...maybe we should get another bat. We gotta score some runs in the playoffs and we cant even do it against Detroit. I guess we'll see how we fare against Red Sox this weekend.

These guys, especially Konerko and Thomas have got to step it up now. Bonderman I can understand but we gotta knock Robertson around so we can get to that bullpen.

Frank is taking some ridulous swings up there. He doesnt know whats going on at the plate.

I like our chances with Freddy on the mound and especially during the afternoon.

The trade deadline is in a couple of weeks. I say we wait it out and see if Contraras shows some more consitency. Today he was attacking the hitters with strikes and he issued no walks. If he cant keep this consistency then we know what we got from him and we can focus on possibily an insurance starter, set-up/closer guy, or a lefty hitter THOUGH( *if Gload is already brought up, focus on strenghtening the bullpen with a guy like Wagner or Guardado, so their asking prices lower as well).

thats game

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 09:33 PM) Congrats, you agree with probably 1 percent of baseball executives then. Do we have a comparison of walks given? The batting avg. against is very misleading. If i remember corretly, 57 BB/ 79 K for Contreras. AND that is not good. Gotta agree with you Fathom.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 09:23 PM) It would be interesting if we meet up with the Red Sox in the playoffs (if we make it). I don't like our chances against the sliders of Clement and Arroyo. When we face these types of pitchers, we need to have at least 4 lefties in our lineup. If that requires KW to acquire a lefty hitter, then that's something he needs to do. Like they say...good pitching beats good hitting. So with that said I'd rather see KW get a bonefied lefty specialist in the bullpen so they could shut down the lefties on the SOX like Damon and Ortiz who can really impact the game.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 09:20 PM) Cotts sucks as a starter. He has two pitches. He's a reliever, get used to it. isnt it the same as Jose?

Contreras' 8 mill. is too much to put as a long relief but now i dont care. Cotts is so dominating in his role and I would like to see him one day take over Contreras spot.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 09:11 PM) He's fallen behind all night. He hasn't had very good stuff. He gave up 6 ER to the ROYALS at home his last start. Bottom line is we just don't score while Contreras is out there. yeah true. This Bonderman doesnt look THAT good. We've just been chasing bad pitches and early on we didnt execute when we should have in the 1st and 3rd.

Is tomarrow's game nearly sold out?

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 08:58 PM) That slider has been hit for a homer about half the time he throws it this year. He almost always hangs it when he tries to throw it sidearms. Isnt that his hanging forkball? It looks like it goes straight and then dips in the middle of the plate.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 08:47 PM) A lefty hitter? Ross Gload anyone.
