The Ginger Kid Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 not a bad split - you know that many of you would've taken that going into Friday night's game. Great job by Danks tonight, he continues to impress. I think Thornton is tired - we miss a healthy Linebrink and a healthy Joe Crede in a big, big way.

southsideirish71 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I hope this taught Ozzie one thing. Please pull Griffey from CF in a close game after the 6th inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 03:55 AM) Good series...we outplayed the Red Sox, no matter what the run differential says. I rarely say this, but we need to sweep the Royals. We're facing 3 mediocre righties. And it's scary to think that KC plays us tough and I am not sure we have the fire right now to win the series, but we should win if these guys start to show some passion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please pull Griffey from CF in a close game after the 6th inning. How about we just don't play him ever. This lineup has to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 02:57 AM) IMHO, Linebrink on the DL has probably cost this team 4-5 W's. It was insane how important he was to t his club. I'll try to put this as politically correct as I can.....Linebrink made Ozzie's decisions with the pen a lot easier. Now, he's trying hard to find a combination to get to Dotel in the 8th inning, and mixing/matching isn't his strong suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatScott82 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 so far we are 4-3 on this homestand. Anything less than 6-4 wont be acceptable. Unfortanately KC has been beating us up lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Somebody made a good point on here when we got Griffey saying the casual fans would be loving the move, but he knew better. Mighta been right. Is this guy's presence helping us at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I haven't seen him play center on TV yet but I have read many comments. Is he way worse than Swish out there? If he is ... he can't be out there any more. KW and Oz can't be that dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackowiak was brutal out there, but Griffey is a statue. Ramirez had to go out about 75 feet to catch a shallow fly ball to CF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 The only game I saw on TV Griffey looked almost fat. I don't know if that's the case, but it sounds like this guy is a disaster in cf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 We may regret simply giving away Richar in the deal for Mr. Big though they say second basemen are a dime a dozen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
