BigSqwert Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 07:12 PM) alright maybe I was being a bit extreme, but they don't have 5 solid starters without him, and we know what the sox did with only 4 good starters... A bit extreme? They are the best pitching staff in baseball. BTW they have had 6 good starters this year with Maroth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoRowand33 Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 (edited) QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 07:14 PM) Huh? remember in 03 and 04 when our starters were like loaiza/contreras, buerhle, garcia, garland and then a mixture of players for the 5th spot I think the 5th starter position went like 4-20 or something like that the point is that I doubt the Tigers would have the best record in baseball without verlander Edited July 3, 2006 by GoRowand33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loltrain Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Liriano - Verlander - Hafner - Hernandez/Pierzynski Hernandez is putting up great numbers for a catcher. Although I'm a Tigers fan I have to go with Liriano though, 9-1 with a sub 2.00 era how in the name of god was he not on the team in the first place? AJ: .327 .371 .453 .824 Ramon: .278 .341 .507 .848 I'd consider either a good choice for a third catcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 HA! It's gonna be tough for AJ. I've voted for him as well, but ALOT of fans and players hate his guts. I highly doubt he's gonna get in. But... worth a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[runs out, alone; then returns] Seriously...I saw THIS BOARD literally put Pods on their back and put him on the All Star team. I mean literally. Scott Podsednik was in the All-Star game because of us. And now we're going to sit around and talk about how other players are more deserving? Hell, I'm actually a Twins fan also and I know that Liriano definately deserves to be in the All Star Game, but f*** me if I'm just going to sit here and vote for him as opposed to A.J.. You think Pods was the most deserving player to make the All-Star game last year? Probably not. But that didn't seem to be a problem for us. But now all of a sudden we have standards? Seriously if there is any player on our team who deserves to have US all show him all of our support - who is it...I would have a problem saying anyone other then A.J.

Whitewashed in '05 Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Gotta vote for AJ even though he most likely won't get elected since everyone hates him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman delivers Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Pods won last year because of Red Sox fans and Soxtalk. We won't have help from any other fans in all of baseball because everyone hates AJ besides us and the Twins, and they'll vote for Liriano. It will be a whole lot tougher this year than last year.

Well s*** maybe we should just sit in the corner and cry about it then like a bunch of f***in' pussies who feel like it's owed to us because we won the World Series last year. The second we start losing fire as a fan base like we (and I mean WE as in SOXTALK) is the second this team stops winning. And it may sound silly, but I actually believe that. Because whatever happens here is indicitive of what happens with us a whole fan base. Edited July 3, 2006 by MinnySoxFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxin' Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Think about it this way...the votes are going to be split between 3 very worthy candidates in Hafner, Verlander, and Liriano. We have a legit shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MinnySoxFan Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I really don't mean to make my last post sound like a post that says that "if you don't vote for AJ your a pussy like it sounds (and like I said). My bigger point is that last year we (as a fan base - and by that I mean soxtalk) had fire - and it didn't matter whether out player was the best - we wanted our player in the All Star Game and we got him there. It worries me that I don't see the same fire anymore. I want to be able to feel that same insanty that I did when I was reading game threads in the last 20 games of the year last year when everything was ramped up and we were listening to Bonnie Tyler and beleving in the Rally Crede. The second that goes, it all goes. In the same vein I'd hate to lose the insensity that we had for our love for our players that we had last year like when WE voted in AJ. SAUX fans BS. WE voted Pods in last year, we can vote in AJ if we want this year. It's a matter of whether we want to. The choice is up to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
