Slumpbusted Gamethread: Orioles vs White Sox
kitekrazy replied to Kyyle23's topic in 2012 Season in Review
QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 30, 2012 -> 03:37 PM) Some people don't seem to mind if we lose 3 of 4. I prefer to look at it that we blew a big opportunity to start making Detroit doubt. Detroit will have plenty of confidence again that the Tigers can blow us away this weekend. Cmon. The guy is the slowest player in baseball. That's because of their 3rd and 4th hitter. Even when they lose they make it very close. The Sox are going to need quality starts. I don't trust the pen against a team that rallies late. -

Sale V. Verlander? http://coltfreaks.com/forum/showthread.php?t=64000 This thread has been active since July in a Colts forum. Coltfreaks is my favorite forum. It's a 180 of WSI. Very few rules, rare anyone gets banned. No one cries. Funny how that works.

Luv that arm on Tank. -
QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 28, 2012 -> 10:58 PM) At least the Royals did the noble thing and beat Detroit like they beat the Sox. Detroit looked human tonight. f*** you, Detroit. The past two weeks they look like a team that refuses to lay down when they are getting beat.

I keep thinking...didn't they get rid of Hendry?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 28, 2012 -> 10:22 PM) KC is heading into September in full spoiler attire I just hope the Sox aren't on that list.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 28, 2012 -> 07:13 PM) Uhmm....the Orioles are not a "crap" team this year, in case you haven't checked out the AL East standings recently. And they always play us tough...even when they have a down overall season, at least since 2008. The Yankees aren't really that impressive. They try to outscore the opponents. They play a good season but fail by getting out pitched in the post season. I was not surprised last year when they fell out of the first round.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Aug 28, 2012 -> 07:11 PM) Come on Robin, do a better job getting this team prepared to face crap teams please. Get angry, throw a cooler, make an inspiring speech. This isn't a crap team but will Robin be the first manager to overcome this. If not, then it's the players. Unfortunately, the veteran players.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 28, 2012 -> 07:09 PM) This is definitely the ultimate trap series. Pitching has gone into a big slump, and we're facing a team with a ton of confidence. Hopefully KC holds on to avoid the meltdown on here tonight. More Flowers, less AJ please The Tiger seem to be real dangerous after the 7th. I'd feel better if it were 17-3.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 28, 2012 -> 06:59 PM) 7-3 Royals...still not over in the bottom of the 2nd inning. 7 ER in 1 1/3rd, ERA all the way up to 2.81. It has been awhile since Verlander had a winning decision. The only thing good about the Sox game is that a good outing didn't go to waste by anemic bats.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Aug 28, 2012 -> 06:53 PM) We've been in first place for most of this season. We just got done reeling off an amazing six game win streak at home. And yet just because we lost one game last night and are currently losing another one tonight, all of a sudden words like these come crashing down around here. Almost unbelievable. It's how you finish. Only the Angles are worse in blown saves. They have yet to prove they can beat the best team in the division and one of the worst. Those things which are not only believable but exist don't exactly make me giddy.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 28, 2012 -> 06:00 PM) Yet another gut check. From that 8th inning on last night, everything is falling back to the usual pattern against the Orioles. And BALT only 4 1/2 games behind the Yankees. At this point, we would have to be elated with that same 1 1/2 game lead we had going into DET last time that quickly turned into 1 1/2 games down...and then quickly reversed itself again 7-10 days later. In the end, the bullpen just hasn't done a good enough job to build that 4-5-6 game cushion we legitimately should have based on the other elements of our team...starting pitching, defense, home runs, etc. I would say the usual pattern for August. I still have a lot of pessimism based on history. This time our disappointment might be delayed for a few weeks along with losing leads late in the game. I hope they don't collapse because the wild card is a great possibility.

Roger Clemens indicted for perjury, obstruction
kitekrazy replied to Balta1701's topic in The Diamond Club
QUOTE (balfanman @ Aug 28, 2012 -> 06:51 AM) Good point. The other theory that I would throw out their is that with his enormous ego, he thinks that he has been exonerated of all suspicion now. He could be juicing up more than ever because he has been given new life and thinks that he is above all of that and no one would dare accuse him ever again. Just like Brett Favre. There's a point you need to go away. I hope he never makes it into the HOF. -

8/27 White Sox at Orioles
kitekrazy replied to Swingandalongonetoleft's topic in 2012 Season in Review
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 27, 2012 -> 08:16 PM) Angels with 20 blown saves. White Sox tied for 2nd in the AL with 18. Sigh. Plus, Thornton's confidence is probably a bit shaken now, not being used in such an obvious situation against McLouth, who had previously owned Myers. This makes me the "doubting Thomas" for post season chances next to wetting the bed against the Tigers and Royals. -

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 27, 2012 -> 08:15 PM) Awful loss, neither team really deserved to win. It's amazing how close every game has been. KW, get another reliever now! Gonna need at least two for the weekend. -

8/26 Mariners at White Sox
kitekrazy replied to Swingandalongonetoleft's topic in 2012 Season in Review
QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 26, 2012 -> 02:03 PM) The good news is that the Tigers had a 5-1 week and won't gain any ground. If the Sox crap their pant against the Tigers again, I have no confidence this team will be in the post season. If you can't even play .333 ball against the Royals and Tiger then you don't belong there. -
QUOTE (IowanSoxFan @ Aug 24, 2012 -> 09:19 PM) My heart goes out to Jake Peavy. He should punch the bullpen in the nuts.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Aug 24, 2012 -> 09:13 PM) What the hell did I just watch. Mental midgets. They need to cement their lead in blown saves. This alone makes me less confident about Sept.
