CYGarland Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 QUOTE(infohawk @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 11:29 AM) Guys, I'm going to suggest a contrary view of today's line-up. If the Sox were fighting for their playoff lives, every starter would probably be playing. Of course Ozzie hopes to win this game, but he may also recognize that a 5-5 road trip that included Minnesota and a good-hitting Ranger team is pretty good. All you can hope for is to play .500 on the road. As a former player who has been through the grind of many a season, Ozzie knows what the stretch run is like. Resting his players like this may be an expression of confidence and that he believes the most important thing is to make sure everyone is rested and ready to go come October. Teams like the Indians, Yankees, A's and Angels probably don't have the luxury of resting players because of the tight wild card race. Lack of rest may cause them to stumble a bit down the stretch. We play MUCH better on the road though. 5-5 is not good for this team..This thing isn't even close to being wrapped up yet, we need to put the pedal to the metal till it's in the bag.

bjm676 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 They've been playing like s*** lately at home. I just home they turn it around, because they have a lot of home games in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Showtime Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 01:26 PM) For what? I'm stuck at school unable to listen to the game. And unless I missed a certain article, there hasn't been much collapse talk as I invisioned this series. Don't know what he could be complaining about. He was ripping on the foxsports.com article where they said Pods was overated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 1st runner stranded. The pull machine is on full flex today. Maybe if we work out Blalock at third he wont hit home runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 hey, we are making good contact, I think we are going to get some runs on this guy. Lets get out of this inning and score some runs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I have a feeling we're going to be hearing more Hawk rants against the media if the Sox don't make a trade to help this offense. Instead of where would he play, it's going to be "where would he have played?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of where would he play, it's going to be "where would he have played?" That's why I love listening to the radio. Less whining, more critical of the team. There's a reason those guys are the best broadcasters in the AL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't something that would be a web gem or anything, it was hit so hard and he had great reaction time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
