jphat007 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Ugh. We are going to need some losses by the Twins and Tigers this weekend. We just need to survive these three games. Just gotta win 1 out at this stupid place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFirebird Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 This looks like it is going to be another interesting night in Oakland. This place always provides the Sox with some weird games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santo=dorf Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 10:10 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Bad decision from Dye. His MVP chances are diminishing by the day. Like the voters give two s***s about outfield assists MVP voting procedure: Does he play on the East Coast? Does he have a lot RBI's? Is his team good?

southsideirish71 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 10:12 PM) Once again, can't see it. Man on 2nd and 3rd both tagging. Fly ball to short RF. Dye settles under it. Then misreads it a bit, and take a small step back flat footing it, and then throws to home off his back foot. Run scores.

WilliamTell Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 10:13 PM) Runner on third, Dye had to move back on a ball skyed to short RF, and could not set his feet. haha I'd probably say the same thing then.

southsideirish71 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Mackowiaks is responsible for both runs with his s***ty s***ty defense. But our coach is obsessed with appendages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_genius Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 10:13 PM) He would have. I never said Anderson isn't a much better CF, and I think he should be starting, but this thing has been so beaten into the ground, it's gotten old. And Brian Anderson isn't a very good hitter. i'll agree with you that anderson is a bit overrated here on soxtalk, but c'mon i'd rather have him in center and mack in left than what the sox are currently going with.

fathom Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 03:15 AM) Not me. Especially without home field. Randy Johnson has owned us this year, and the Yankees lineup, if they get Sheffield back, might be the best I've ever seen. I'll take my chances of overcoming the A's curse. Last year, there were probably people afraid of playing the Angels in the ALCS due to the west coast factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Ozzie, Oakland is a pitchers park with lots of territory. This is a park you must have your best defense out in the field. If you really want to put Mack in, I suggest the prancing stiff out in LF that provides nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only 16 games remaining. You can't hold out for anything, or hope the teams your chasing lose. Tonight is a PERFECT opportunity to gain ground on Minnesota. We need to win tonight. Garland pitching without a fresh tampon, Mackowiak/Dye's poor fielding isn't helping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's never going to happen, if it ever would it would have been tonight. 330-367-388-400-388-367-330, those are some insane dimensions it doesn't make much sense to have a bad fielding CF with no range out there and yet here we are.

fathom Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 We need to find a way to get Gload in every game. He's one of the few guys hustling out there. Also, he's probably a better bet to contribute a hit at the plate than Thome is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Time for our rotten offense to wake the f*** up. Hit the f***ing ball, stop taking pitches for strike 3.
