Frankensteiner Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 09:21 PM) cleveland might come back and we could rally against nathan. I'm calling my bookie. Cleveland has looked like they're mailing it in for the last few weeks. They'll knock us around a couple of times, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infohawk Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I'm officially done with Javier Vazquez. At this point I can't honestly say that he is a better option than Brandon McCarthy. I think the Sox are making a terrible blunder by keeping McCarthy in the 'pen at this point. I don't see any reason why (short of a trade) not to put McCarthy in the rotation and let Javier "I can only pitch well twice through the line-up" Vazquez be effective facing just a few hitters during a relief role. I had reached the point where I was convinced the losing streak would just run its course and I wasn't upset anymore. The decision to actually pitch to Mauer in that situation just flipped my anger switch back on and I am livid! I'm angry because the Sox are being stubborn and don't seem willing to make some adjustments that might help the team (I remain aware that they still have trade opportunities). The impression they are giving is that they are going to go with Vazquez no matter what rather than putting him in the pen or making him a 5 inning pitcher. For crying out loud, be creative and make an adjustment or two! Sorry, I'm just very angry right now. GO SOX! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

34FG56MB52JC Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 (edited) This is like last year. Except, this year the Sox don't have a 15 game lead in their divison this year. Edited July 25, 2006 by 34FG56MB52JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CYGarland Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I hate to say it, but this team may have been an abberation last year, because it's looking more and more like the 1999-2004 teams. Great 1st half, Crap 2nd half. I hope I'm wrong, and they go on a hot streak and coast into the playoffs, but I'm starting to lose more hope everyday.

Frankensteiner Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 09:21 PM) Maybe it's because they've been equally as bad this year except Garcia appears to be toast with his unexplained drop in velocity. And who is everyone? Seems like there's an awful lot more people calling for Vazquez' head lately than Garcia. They're both equally bad. Vazquez has more "potential" because he still has decent stuff, so it's more likely that someone takes a chance on him and offers a better package than for a 30-year old version of the 42-year old version of Greg Maddux.

southsideirish71 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Ozzie is doing his best Tony Pena impersonation. Bullpen and pitching managing by the magic 8 ball. Should I take Javier out...... probably not. Well the 8 balls says no, so Javy stays in. Smash of the bat, home run. Lets shake it again, should I take him out now.. Outlook cloudy No, lets see if he can pitch out of it, 4 runs later. Maybe its time to get Cotts up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan562004 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 It might just be symbolic, or maybe it actually bothered them, but the Twins scored 6 unanswered since they couldn't get Anderson in PK, just go back to the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infohawk Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 How could they have gotten this bad with the kind of talent they have on the team? Anymore I am just expecting them to lose. I know it's just a bad skid, but it almost seems like they won't ever win another game. I'm just saying that's what it seems like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
