jackie hayes Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 We should have done more against Rogers. Man on 2nd, none out, that hurt. But I will say, Zumaya was just flippin awesome. Just effin awesome. F'n awesome, I tell you. Even his breaking pitches were sick, and he (smartly) pitched well around the guy most likely to hurt him. I honestly can't imagine any lineup in baseball hitting him in those 2 innings. Still, this series leaves me with a lot of nagging questions.

But they were first to post when we won the division...odd, isn't it? I remember. I Remember the Choke Avis, the 'this team is done' threads. It's July People.

BigSqwert Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I'm at work so I won't be able to hear any postgame interviews. Can someone keep us filled in on any interesting questions fielded by Ozzie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RibbieRubarb Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 03:09 PM) Stop being pessimistic, everything is alright. I repeat EVERYTHING is ALRIGHT! Please, we are all aware that the team is struggling. But at least we are not going to extreme like some here proclaiming the division over.

Frankensteiner Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 03:05 PM) A Red Sox win today and they tie us. 2-7 in our last 9 games. More interesting is the teams we've played in this stretch. We're not as good as the best teams in the AL. Hopefully, Kenny can see this, otherwise we're f***ed for the rest of the season. It would require some balls on his and Ozzie's part, and I'm not sure they have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baines3 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Granted we have had no offense the last 2 games, but don't jump off the ship yet still a long ways to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVSoxFan Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 This pains me as much as anybody here, how much we suck right now. But sorry, we just cleared the ASB for frack's sake. I am not about to step out onto the ledge just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I'm actually optimistic about this Rangers series this wknd. We face Wasdin tomorrow, and he's the type of guy we could hit a few homers against. It will be nice for these guys to have the home crowd behind them. Basically, they have to play well the rest of the way to make the playoffs. There's no way they can play .500 ball the rest of the way, and expect to make the playoffs.

Flash Tizzle Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 QUOTE(LVSoxFan @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 03:07 PM) I don't mean to be naive but I'll say it again: yes, we stink right now, but if we're going to slump, I'd rather have it now and then go on a tear through August/September. Yeah, it's a setback, but we'll see how much this team really wants it from this point on. They had a chance to make a statement and that statement apparently was: the Tigers are way better than us. But really, people, the hitting slump? Vasquez's meltdown last night? Stranding all these guys today? This screams to me "ROUGH PATCH." In other words: TEMPORARY. How the hell do you know any of this? I'm tired of people suggesting perhaps this is our only slump. Or those who love to riddle posts with cliches such as, "every team goes through these periods," or "we did it last year and it turned out fine." Listen to me, here: forget about last season. Referencing last years August/September swoon, as if to imply we're going through that point now, is a flimsy set of logic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Fields to San Diego for Linebrink + spect Garcia to the Mets for Heilman McCarthy to the rotation and suddenly I'm feeling a whole hell of a lot better about this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxHawk1980 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 wow...the first of many meltdowns...and it only took until july 20th get a clue...5.5 games is nothing with about 68 games left It means something when the team you are 5.5 games behind is better than you are (including a better manager).
