I'm rather certain that fathom was being incredibly sarcastic there.
There isn't a shade of green that exists to express the sarcasm in fathom's post.

yes javy isn't the best but ozzie could of helped by starting brian. just pointing that out, cause with brian its at least only 1 run in
Exactly. He knows that Javy likes to implode under pressure, or if something doesn't go his way. Why not back him up with the best defense to try and limit those possibilities?

Uribe's playing with a tender lower back? Seems to me like he probably should have been given the day off.
Why would we give a sore player a day off? The young CF, who sits every other game anyway, clearly needed the day off more.

Couple of questions...
1. Why the fish is Mackowiak playing in CF today?
2. Why the hell is Mackowiak batting sixth today?
3. Why is outfield defense unimportant against a team that doesn't strike out often and almost always put the ball in play?
Don't question Guillen's managing, he's a genious.

Unless Anderson is injured/sick, there's absolutely no reason for him to not be playing today.
The starters need to be rested for when we're in a playoff race...oh, wait...
The Sox were in a good position to win the game yesterday. They may or may not be after 5 or 6 innings today. Why throw away one great oppurtunity to win today to *maybe* be in a good spot tomorrow?

I think already might be their worst win on the season, if there is such a thing.
When was the last time they won back-to-back games? June?
Nice DP.
QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 29, 2006 -> 07:16 PM)
An outfield of Mack/Anderson/Dye would be our best in terms of offense and defense.
It would just be a question of Mack's ability to sustain if he were a starter. He should at least platoon with Pods in LF, though.
