Balta1701 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 06:50 PM) These games would be a lot easier to take if the Indians didn't win seemingly 80 percent of their games recently. Remember...once again, they have by far the easiest schedule in the AL the 2nd half, at least amongst the Wild Card contenders. That's why that sweep of them earlier this year was so damn huge. I think Minnesota gets a shot at them this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why that sweep of them earlier this year was so damn huge. I think Minnesota gets a shot at them this weekend. Which means they'll likely keep winning a high percentage of games, especially with C.C. and Lee pitching lights out lately. The Sox have done a terrific job this month of winning the games they had to, and need to keep up the focus. The only way the Sox won't make the playoffs is if they have another prolonged slump.

Stairs is hitting the ball MUCH better than Sweeney, who is really struggling. Walking a guy like that to get to Stairs would've been really dumb IMHO. Well. Not dumb. Just not what I think would be a good move. Edited September 9, 2005 by jphat007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 (edited) Its nice to see one of the worst pitching staffs in baseball shutting our team down, no hitting them for a good part of this game. But hey its another bad pitcher we can tip our hats to for having a great game. We make more bad pitchers look like Cy Young than any other team. 2 f***ing hits, you have got to be kidding me.

Ozzie hasn't pinch hit for a catcher all year and I can't say I blame him...when you're carrying only 1 backup catcher there's reason to be careful with those guys...what happens if you pinch hit for him and then AJ gets hurt or tossed out of the game?

Walking a guy like that to get to Stairs would've been really dumb IMHO. Well, I've forgotten that Ozzie fears Stairs more than anyone else. Not only that, but I just think Garcia has hung way too many pitches tonight. I'm happy with the results....but I would have managed differently (as if anyone cares).
