The Ginger Kid Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 sox need to hold serve tonight. Varitek and Trot back in the lineup for beantown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I feel pretty confident with Jon Garland on the mound for us. I really, really hope Ryan Sweeney gets the start in LF tonight. But with Ozzie, he will most likely sit BA and start Sweeney in CF, and let Pods start again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Ideal line-up for tonight: Sweeney LF Iguchi 2B Dye RF Thome DH Konerko 1b Crede 3b AJ C Anderson CF Cintron SS But this will be the line-up Pods Gooch Dye Thome Kong AJ Crede Mack Uribe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Showtime Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 I wouldn't be surprised if Dye is out tonight. Ozzie said he'd get him a day off this series. So maybe we can get Pods-Mack-Gload...Oye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Showtime Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 Manny is playing. Lineups are in. Usual crew. Pods, Anderson, Dye all in today. No subs. NESN flashed the lineups so I missed the exact order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Podsednik, LF Iguchi, 2b Dye, RF Thome, DH Konerko, 1b Pierzynski, C Crede, 3b Anderson, CF Uribe, SS Youkilis, 1B Loretta, 2b Hinske, DH Ramirez, LF Nixon, RF Lowell, 3B Varitek, C Kapler, CF Gonzalez, SS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgaudin Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 It's actually comical now, how Ozzie keeps hoping against hope. Keeps sending Makowiak to CF despite his own reservations, keeps Podsednik in the lineup ignoring that he simply doesn't have it this year. It's as if he is operating in a daze. He seems to talk himself into thinking that the players underperforming all year will "break out of it" somehow. Or maybe he feels a certain loyalty or something. It is very easy to second guess Ozzie's moves since the team continues to struggle. What I don't understand is why he doesn't "stir the pot" some by playing new faces. I feel bad for Ozzie. It's a tough job to manage in big markets. Every move (or non-move) he makes is scrutinized by a bunch of us who don't know squat about big league managing. Yet somehow I cannot refrain from looking at the season as a whole and wonder why some moves were not made quickly. Bottom line is the players don't have the "stuff" this year. I am sure there are some in that clubhouse thinking, "I got my ring, I'm good to go." Hopefully those players will find new uniforms to wear next year.

BearSox Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Why did we even call up Sweeney if he isn't going to play? This is bulls***. Sorry, but it is. We are facing a mediocre pitcher, at best, and with Podsednik still sucking it up and still playing horrible D, he gets the start over Sweeney. This is really starting to piss me off. Either play him, or let him develop more in AAA some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not that we brought Sweeney up and aren't playing that bothers me (because that happens all the time) but its the fact that Sweeney is clearly the better of two in every department. Play the better player OZ no matter age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
