ozzie is a bad manager only when he loses. Thats a simple fact on these boards and in the media.

I recommend my buddies bar, Shinnicks Pub. Good stuff, $2.50 beer.

Yeah, you can get it for about $30 on ebay/amazon now, well well worth it. Those PK + Pods homers still give me chills.

Imagine this team with a healthy Q, Crede, and Jose.......man. Oh well, the outlook for this team looks even better for next year. Shore up the bulpen, pick up a couple guys, and we're right back in it.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 03:10 PM) I dont even understand how some of you consider yourselves Sox fans. Javy is the Sox 4th starter, due to having to play the last few weeks we could not set the rotation. Javy is not supposed to shut down the other team, he is supposed to keep the Sox in the game so that we have a chance to win. Anyone expecting more is just setting themselves up for failure. If this was any other pitcher people would be talking about how easy grounders were getting through our infield, how we let pop ups drop, how the Sox couldnt get a double play. but since its Javy you all just want to kick him around. f*** that, Im not going to sit here and say hes good, but I at least respect the effort that he has given to the Sox. You realize how much he is being paid, correct? A 30+ million dollar pitcher should not be a crappy 4th starter, sorry. He is terrible, i hope to never see him pitch with a sox uniform on ever again.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 02:30 PM) Why are people asking for Clayton? Bring in Floyd. What the hell is wrong with you people? Because we will need him to start since Javi will never start again for the sox

OH MY GOD

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 07:32 PM) I disagree almost completely. Only part I agree on is Griffey didn't put his whole body into the throw. what is there to disagree about? He threw that ball flat footed and had roughly 0 momentum behind him.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Sep 30, 2008 -> 09:45 PM) Farmer Stone audio or TBS? I'm guessing farmer/stone since you said you have the tivo of the game yeah i want the sound of hometown announcers Thats the only thing wrong with the playoffs, I would kill to hear hawks call at a game like this. BUt yeah, if someone has those 2 clips from Farmer, thatd be the beez-neez

someone please post the audio from the last out today + thome's hr. I'm putting together a clip from my HD Tivo

If he's on the DL, he could come back later.

platoon Javi and Richard, Javi for 1-2-3 and Richard for the next whatever. The first time Javi mopes around the mound, yank his ass.

yeah his s*** talking against blackburn cost us the game tonight

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Sep 30, 2008 -> 04:51 PM) i'm working on a slightly higher resolution version of that, sync'd with the farmer/stone broadcast i gotta find a different version of virtual dub please please post the audio from that call. I can't find it anywhere.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 30, 2008 -> 02:41 PM) TBS no give a s*** bout them Twins. Who would they put in there anyway? Nobody outside of Minny or Chicago knows any Twins player.

QUOTE (Cubano @ Sep 30, 2008 -> 02:43 PM) According to the Stats, I take Alexei. It is true that Longoria has been better late and close, but Alexei has been better in the other two categories.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 30, 2008 -> 02:34 PM) Try going to a Raider game some day. It's pretty cool to see a sea of black. hopefully we don't play as pathetic as they do.

they decided not to air the game in chicago since nobody would be interested.

QUOTE (Shamrock4Life @ Sep 30, 2008 -> 02:25 PM) Well have you been paying attention lately? what?

QUOTE (YASNY @ Sep 30, 2008 -> 09:03 AM) And our team didn't? Our team lost its best (and most of the time only) hitter for September. I'd like to see where the Twins would be if Morono had gone down.

I don't think its as lopsided as people are claiming. A-ram has a higher average, more SB, 1/2 the K's, more hits, slightly less RBI and HR, 4 GS's. 'ei started off ice cold and longo missed a month. Sure he may get it just cause the MLB has been hyping up Longo and nobody knows who Alexei is, but it should be extremely close.

please someone find a way to post it, pleeeeeeeaassseee

I could have had 2 right behind homeplate in the UD but declined since my dad didn't want to go. Why did i not just buy them....stupid.
