QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 09:43 PM) It would be one thing if I just talked about last year, but I said both years. Why would we just analyze the year he hasn't done as well, just so you can bash another player and whine, whine whine You and Ozzie in a love triangle with Timo? Jeez...he sucks. Why don't you see that?

Glad Griffey isn't in the lineup. He'd probably K here too.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 09:35 PM) He's won or tied numerous games the past couple of years in big pinch hitting situations. What is 'numerous games'? 2?

Nothing like backing into the playoffs. Just hoping Cleveland keeps losing.

I have a bad feeling we are going to see Ozzie get completely outmanaged in the post season...ala Manuel vs Pinela.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 08:20 PM) Yet we don't need Griffey Jr? Nah...what good would he be?

This team has not been very enjoyable to watch lately.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 08:16 PM) Minny has possibly THE worst offense in the league! Worse than ours?

Boy it would have been nice to get that deal done for AJ Burnett. He just one his 6th straight and has looked dominating.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 08:10 PM) Anderson may be a defensive replacment but he wont play. Timo will be our leadoff guy until Pods gets back. No...Ozzie will give Andersen 1 start. He'll go 0-4 and not play again....kinda like Gload.

I love how we play in front of sellout home crowds. Can't wait for the playoffs.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 08:05 PM) BUT WHERE WILL GRIFFEY PLAY!!!! Yeah...he sux. (As Griffey connects for #27 of the year)

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 08:06 PM) Wonder how the Twins will fair with 2 on and no one out. Better than the Sox? No doubt.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 08:01 PM) BTW, any word on why Iguchi is out of the lineup? He's probably very tired. What is he 43 years old? Needs like 2 or 3 days off a week.

Looking at this offense I'm thinking "Yeah Hawk, no room for Griffey with these guys hitting the cover off the ball."

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 07:41 PM) Oh gee, I dunno Hawk. Considering he would instantly become the best hitter on our team I am sure we could find a spot for him. No s***. Hawk should stick to play-by-play.

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 09:22 PM) The Score doesn't know s***. Well if Bruce had some breaking news why didn't they mention it at the 6PM Sportsnite show? Instead they told us to tune in at 10PM for Bruce's news. To me that means there is no news.

As far as the reason for this thread....I highly doubt BRUUUUCE Levine has any news to report on the Griffey rumor. I've been listening to the Score for the past hour or so and they have nothing new to say. I doubt Bruce has some confidential news to share.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 09:01 PM) Griffey Jr. would play CF, and Rowand would play LF. Griffey Jr. has played CF his entire career, while Rowand has a lot more experience playing LF. He's older and fragile....might be a better idea to have Rowand stay in CF.

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 08:51 PM) we need griffey to have some sort of presence in the middle of this lineup. he'll play DH yes, but also maybe be able to give pods/rowand/dye a day off when needed as well. Both him and everett will get plenty of ABs With Pods most likely going on the DL tomorrow he could play LF for a while or rotate with Hot Carl.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 04:25 AM) We really need this one. Hopefully Hernandez doesn't give up his usual 3 or 4 runs the first two innings. He's been our most consistent starting pitcher since the ASB.

Although I'm a huge Buehrle fan, he has kinda looked bad against the elite teams this year. I'm hoping he'll bounce back.

Alright...my first stab at a game thread. Maybe I can turn the luck around. Let's carry that 9th inning momentum right into game 2 and give Wakefield a knuckle sandwich! (Wow that was cheesy) Rip Em!!!!!

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 09:33 PM) Mark Buehrle, staff ace, since July1. IP H R K BB RA/9 Mark Buehrle 52.0 65 34 23 12 5.88 As DJ would say....Uh Oh!
