go on a little losing streak, and all of a sudden everybody wants to cry "injured". Does this team even want to win the damn division. Suck it up and play

Ok
I know that you can purchase just patio tix if you already have tix for the game. but I have a couple of friends that want to go but cant make the patio party. Is there a way to get tix without the patio party??? And if so how much??

Thats not entirely true. Freddy has given up something like 25 runs in the 1st inn. of his 27 some odd starts. And many of those games he pitched gems from the 2nd inning on. El Duque has done the same in like his last three starts. Yeah it sucks to be losing from the gun, but good pitchers know how to focus better in that particular situation.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 10:31 PM)We won't get Omar, but he would provide exactly what we need at the bottom of the order: a tough out! We don't need more hitters with pop. What we need our hitters who can execute in situations and not go up swinging weakly at the first pitch. Our left side of the infield blows.
dude isnt that much better than Uribe in any offensive category. It wouldnt be worth it to give up what we would need to give up for him

QUOTE(WinninUgly @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 10:22 PM)I know that Griffey keeps coming up in trade rumors, but what about Sweeney at DH or Vizquel at SS?
we dont need another DH and Visquel doesnt provide enough pop, Uribe plays solid D and thats about all that Visquel would have to offer us

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 10:21 PM)Santana is a closing horse, and he's started his stretch drive. His numbers are actually relatively close to where they were last year at this time.
I just think it is really going to stick out in the voters minds that MB choked against Boston and then again in his next start when the team needed to get out of a slide he couldn't get it done again.
Not that it was completely MB's fault, cause it wasn't, he just needed a better outing than the one he had.

Well they can narrow it down to one Sox pitcher now
cause after his last two outings Mark Buehrle wont be getting one of these:

Im putting in an order for probably like 10 tix on Friday if that helps out at all

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 06:46 PM)Paraphrasing the MLB rule book:
A club needs to secure MAJOR LEAGUE WAIVERS on a player in order to option him for assignment to either the ml club or a ML club when the date of assignment is >= 3 yrs from the date the player was first assigned to a ML club. Option years spent prior to being assigned to a ML club count towards those 3 yrs.
I Love it when you analyze! -

This is worse than the rumor that almost sent Kirby Puckett to the Sox way back in the day
PLEASE......IF YOUR NOT GOING TO HAPPEN..........JUST GO AWAY

QUOTE(3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 06:38 PM)I believe LA oneupped stuff when we had a Shingo collapse loss and they were undefeated, so yeah, there goes your big deal
well apparently I didn't pay close enough attention to the standings early on, if indeed that is the case
oh well
-
well whereas nobody else might care......I do care.
I think it would be a big deal if the Sox could lead the league "wire to wire". Does it mean anything? No especially if they dont win it all. But if they do happen to win it all it would be a nice exclamation point in my eyes.

Although I think it would be great to beat these good teams to shut the critics up, I dont find it necessary to prove anything to anybody until October!!!

Ok
take this as you may, but, this so called easy schedule is filled with teams that arent going to make the playoffs. Which means that they have nothing to lose. A lot of times you will hear people talk as if these games are actually tougher to play because of that reason. These team's seasons are basically over so their main motivation comes from beating contenting teams, so they take on the "spoiler" role. They have no pressure on them because they are expected to lose. Whereas the Sox or the Red Sox or what have you have the pressure to not blow it down the stretch, which can make it tougher to win games. I don't know, Im not going to get worried until our lead dwindles to like 5 games or so.

My fave happened a couple years ago when the Sox were playing the Flubs at Wrigley and some Sox fan smuggled in some WeedBGon and dumped it down the ivy. That s*** was funny there was just this patch of ivy missing from the wall for weeks

I thought the Yankees had him?

I found it a bit pathetic that she said her marriage is failing due to the fact that the Twins suck

QUOTE(SHAFTR @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 01:38 AM)Hitters:
Most Important: OPS+
Overated: BA w/ RISP this will suffer due to sacrfices plus with a large sample size over 95% of players will have a BA w/ RISP that will be within a 95% confidence Interval of their BA.
To say the BA w/RISP will suffer due to sacrifices makes no sense, considering a sacrifice doesn't count as an AB

Id have to say winning is the ONLY way to end a slide
