QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 04:05 PM) I'm sooooooo not worried right now. A thumping of the Scrubs should get everyone in a good mood again.

How many more chances does Cliff get? I say zero but I have a feeling he will get a few.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 03:28 PM) Again, I'm a little shocked that people are jumping off ledges about a team still on pace to win 103+ games this season. I can only speak for myself but although we have won at a great pace in the last few weeks we do have some concerns on this team. The starting pitching is nowhere near as good as they were hyped up to be. I rarely have the feeling that the opponent has no chance to do anything against our starter. They rarely take a game into the 8th inning and this has Ozzie rely on the bullpen in every game. The bullpen has been solid as of late but they will wear down at this pace.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 03:25 PM) What good team have they won a series from in the past month? Bear in mind any NL team doesn't qualify as a "good team" Point is they haved killed eveyone for the entire month. There aren't a lot of good teams out there. We lose games to bad teams which can hurt us at the end of the year when we are battling for a playoff spot.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 03:22 PM) Yeah, you're right, being able to take 4 from KC at Kauffmann will sure come in handy when they are getting their asses handed to them in Boston this postseason. Not sure if you've noticed but they are beating everyone now. Not just the bad teams. Winning instills confidence. They have a can't lose mentality now.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 03:21 PM) Liriano and Santana, the Twins' two aces, pitched at that series at PNC. Didn't we have our ace going today?

I keep checking the Sox site to hopefully see that Cliff has been released.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 03:09 PM) The difference between the Sox and the Tigers is that the Sox beat the good teams. And the Tigers absolutely dominate the inferior teams. Guess it's a wash.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 03:13 PM) Tigers are 1-5 against the Sox The Sox are 5-1 against the sam team. Other than us, who is going to beat up on them? And we can't take care of the easy teams.

Tigers are 14-0 vs Cubs, Astros and Royals. We are 10-5 against the same teams.

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 02:59 PM) Bullpen has been a problem, if anything or any group can be called an achilles heal. Jenks and Thornton have excelled and everyone else is inconsistent. Starting pitching has not be solid either, but the one real constant (good) has been the offense. They have been impressive. This loss sucks but I am not certain it sucks as bad as the bullpen losing the Houston game in 13. Did you just start watching baseball a couple weeks ago? Blaming the pen on that Astros loss? 1 ER in 6 innings that night. Wow.

Cliff with a 7.48 ERA now. How many more chances can a guy get?

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 02:53 PM) I just dont understand what the f*** goes through Ozzie's head sometimes. Why the f*** was Politte out there? WHY THE f***?! He probably thinks with Jon and Javy going the next 2 he will have to save up some of the bullpen.

Politte Widger Jose Awesome game!!

QUOTE(zygoat @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 02:50 PM) Ozzie almost has to start Jose. Jose has won like 20 starts in a row and is the most consistent pitcher in the majors. Plus wiht the confidence that ozzie is showing by starting jose could get him pumped up enough to have the second half like he did last year stick with your man ozzie Oooook. Like 20 eh?

And now it's time for Detroit to easily sweep the Pirates.

So why did we send Montero down?

Wow...Politte still in. Guess we conceded this one.

They have some tough guys coming up.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 02:43 PM) Take a couple. I wanna see mack against his former team in a big spot even if it's a lefty. ^^^^^

QUOTE(Wedge @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 02:42 PM) who's left on the bench? AJ? Gload.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 02:41 PM) Widge trying to have 7 LOB. And is successful in doing that. :headshake

Widge trying to have 7 LOB.

Widger time!!!

Time for Dye to untie.
