BigSqwert Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 When we used to talk about homefield advantage throughout the playoffs...we talked about which one of our amazing starters would get the Cy Young...what our starting rotation would be for the playoffs...Ozzie getting Manager of the Year...Kenny getting executive of the year....etc Seems like so long ago. Almost like it was a different season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are playing like the worst team in baseball this past week and we are still 9 up. The scary thing is one more week like this, and the lead will be like 4 or 5. What is disturbing is that we don't look close to breaking out of this, and the slump seemingly is getting worse. Thankfully, I have all the faith in the world that Ozzie and KW will recognize our problems, and do something to fix them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are playing like the worst team in baseball this past week and we are still 9 up. Ten up in the loss column, too. Like you said, it all depends if you're a "glass half full" guy, or "glass half empty". I'm pissed about how their playing, yet I hope that our offense can't be this bad...

I wonder how much longer the losing will go on until Hawk will realize Ozzie really doesn't "have something up his sleeve". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have gone to the past 5 home losses, nearly throwing s*** on that field I am so disgusted. I also ripped a hat apart. (it was old as hell, that's how) But that's just me overreacting. We still have a sizeable lead, we need Pods back, we need to regroup...life will be ok. It's hard because of how f***ing s***ty the offense is right now, but still...9 games.

maggsmaggs Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 We should've called up Owens, we need a spark, not for Anderson to sit on the bench while Timo starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't feel so bad about having a 9 game lead if it weren't in the context of a free fall and a total lack of offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman delivers Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 05:13 PM) I've gone to enough games this season. Im not going to waste my time watching our O not being able to get a hit off of RJ, and wait for Jose to pitch the ball. I'll spend my 4 hours else where. Gee, why do you even bother watching games if you don't think they'll win? Sorry, I figured I should say it since nobody else has said it yet.

Soxpranos Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 (edited) When you have the worst hitting outfield in baseball what do you expect? If it wasnt for Iguchi we would have the worst hitting team period. Man i miss Maggs... Rowand can go and be a so called future gold glover somewhere else.

God that's a ridiculous statement. Am I sayin these guys are studs? No. But that's just insane. When your LF leads the MLB in steals and has an OBP around .350, and your RF is 3rd in the MLB in HR's, and your CF hits over .275...you do NOT have the worst hitting OF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
