QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 07:44 PM) Mr. Gold Glove Crede continues his f***tacular play. One of the easiest outs in the league...hands down.

Just got in. How is Jon looking?

Brilliant Gene Honda! Send one to Hawkaroo.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 03:50 PM) I don't think Ozzie will let this happen either. What does that mean? Is Ozzie going to start pinch hitting and driving in runs because no one else is doing s***. If anything, Ozzie is helping this team look like s*** by playing all these dopey lineups each night. But remember...I am the king of pessimism and that's no larbage.

I'm not saying it necessarily would but getting an impact player at this point could bolster the team's attitude. It's a way of saying "we are going for it" from management.

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 10:56 AM) interesting. it's definitely better than nothing. Who knows...maybe getting Guardado will have a team-wide 'shot in the arm' effect and the batters might even start hitting? He'd be a pretty damn big pick up at this point and would give us the best bullpen in the AL IMO.

QUOTE(Dam8610 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 10:28 PM) It's only a 5 game losing streak. I'm sure every team has had one this season. It's not the end of the world, it's just a slump. Are you watching this team?? It's not only a 5 game losing streak. They have looked like crap for about a month now. It's not like they won 12 straight right before the 5 game skid. Stop sipping the kool aid.

For all the glass half full people....what has happened since the ASB that makes you so confident? I just don't see it.

Let's see here. We cannot win at home anymore. We can't win at Fenway. We can't beat Oakland. Vlad and K-rod are now healthy for Anaheim. Kenny will not find us another big bat. Um yeah...I really like our chances. I am now the official king of pessimism.

That's a real important goal to have. :headshake

I am officially eating....

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 07:23 PM) I was thinking the same exact thing. Don't worry, KW says we have the best record in baseball, so we don't need the upgrade. Yeah...it would be tough to find ABs for Griffey with Timo playing so well.

This is unreal. What the f*** is wrong with Ozzie? Timo is the worst leadoff hitter I have seen in years. I doubt the Royals would even have him leadoff for them. I know if Gary the No-Trash Cougar were manager he would not have Timo lead off.

Even if we brought up some of the young outfielders Ozzie would keep them on the bench and start Timo. So what's the point of bringing them up?

QUOTE(sircaffey @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 11:59 AM) You dont care that he was loafing from the start? That bothers me more than anything. Pauly deserved to be called out. Sweet justice. Maybe he'll run the next one out. Amen to that. I just hate that Ozzie is a hypocrite and benches Uribe when he didn't run one out. For all of you who think I'm talking about the hesitation between 1st and 2nd...I'm not . It's the fact that he didn't run to 1st. Ozzie will lose this team if he keeps playing favorites and only penalizes certain players.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 11:41 AM) A pipe dream of the best variety, that is. We can't get him because Hawk wouldn't know where he'd play.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 09:10 AM) Yeah Paul looked pretty safe, usually against the Twins the Sox don't get the close calls, so it seems. But I don't really blame him if he was waiting to see if Everett was going to third. I think the hesitation between 1st and 2nd was becaue he wasn't sure where the cut-off throw was going. Once he saw that the guy threw to 3rd he tried to sneak into 2nd. But again, the whole problem with the play was that he was lollygagging to first base. Ozzie is being a hypocrite for letting that slide.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 09:06 AM) Wow, everyone needs to take some Midol. Baseball 101. He did not coast, it was not a sure double He only advanced to second because of the throw to third. He actually pulled up and slowed down until he saw the direction of the throw. Secondly, he was safe. Its clear you are b****ing about something just to b****, but make sure you actually watch the play first. Paulie wasn't running to first. Hawk even said it. He just slowly started jogging to first, watching where the ball landed. What he did between first and second isn't my issue.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 08:43 AM) Rather, he was jammed so much, he thought that ball was going foul. Isn't that the same excuse Uribe gave?

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 10:12 PM) And why wasn't Iguchi in the lineup? Good question....I didn't hear him answer that one.

Great to listen to Ozzie's excuses in the locker room right now. Saying how Pods and Iguchi weren't in the lineup.....reporter said 'what does those 2 not being in the lineup have to do with your team playing lethargic today?"

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 10:03 PM) KW, find us our spark, because right now Im not seeing it on the 25 man This team has looked completely flat since the trade deadline....IMO. I guess Blum didn't give us that shot in the arm we were looking for.

I have tickets for Wednesday. Buehrle vs Santana. I have absolutley no interest in going.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 09:59 PM) Great to observe another pitiful game infront of a sellout crowd. I hope we don't sellout for the playoffs. We'd have no chance.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 09:45 PM) Like I said earlier, 5 for your last 36 should resulted in a release, not a promotion to leadoff or number 5 hitter. I completely agree with you but doesn't KW get some blame for not supplying Ozzie with adequate bench support? I mean Ozuna and Timo? Come on Kenny. You can't assume the entire starting lineup will be injury free all year.
