We have some excellent arm chair quarterbacking tonight because I don't see these managerial moves as anything but what would seem obvious at the time. You pinch run a guy that you don't want to hit and you pinch hit your best pinch hitter who has had several bunt singles in our uniform to lay down a bunt. If he fails to do that, you know that he knows how to hit his way out of a paper bag.
Yep....

It would definitely help ease the pain of this choke.
I dont know if it would help you. Maybe people that arent miserable 24/7.

Sometimes you wonder if a Sox pitcher says "f*** hit! These guys aren't hittin for me so I'm gonna get myself out of here and let someone else take over. I'm tired of pitching my ass off for the lackeys"
Thats literally the most idiotic thing Ive heard.

If Konerko was ever going to hit into a 5-4-3 triple play, this is the situation
That would be a **** my life moment.

You banking on Youk having a healthy/rebound season, huh?
The problem is our choices are very limited and so are his.
QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 27, 2012 -> 08:35 PM)
Just like to point out the fastball Scott hit out was 88 mph. Hahn and Kenny, don't even think about bringing him back.
The only one I bring back on the list you posted yesterday is Youk. Everyone else I think we can replace.

How is Peavy feeling right now? How pissed is he.
Who the hell cares? He needs to keep doing his job and not worry about everyone else.
QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 27, 2012 -> 08:31 PM)
This is nuts, isn't it? Never seen a team struggle so predictably with RISP. Oh well, this would have been much worse if the Sox were like 6 or 7 up a week ago and still blew it.
It is nuts. But I expected that from alexei and gordon.
QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 26, 2012 -> 10:15 PM)
Yes, but I'm starting to think the team of September is our real team. And that is an unwatchable baseball squad that has to be torched.
Once again proving my point
QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 26, 2012 -> 10:11 PM)
They have to blow it up because you'd have to pay our fans to watch this crap next season rather than make them pay 40 bucks for parking, etc. This is really really bad baseball. Nobody with a brain will go watch this. They'll do anything to not have to go to the Cell to watch baseball in which starting pitchers not named Sale can't pitch 5 innings.
Hawk sounds resigned to the fact we stink.
Thank goodness you arent the GM Greg. The prospect of tearing down a baseball team after a pretty good season is completely asinine. That is a complete overreaction to the highest order. People in management dont operate like that.
QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 26, 2012 -> 10:09 PM)
I don't think we have bad fans, they just don't come to the park unless we have a consistent (aka more than one season) winner
100 percent agree
QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 26, 2012 -> 10:05 PM)
Your ridiculous what?
You know about three weeks ago you said the season is over. Now your back at it again saying this team needs to be torn down. Im sorry you like to be miserable.
QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 26, 2012 -> 09:51 PM)
its only the 6th and I'm already tanked.
I was getting there but I ran out of the punch in my fruit punch.
