Flash Tizzle Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 7, 2008 -> 03:51 PM) Bad loss....no more of these joke lineups. Fields is just terrible at baseball now, I don't think his heart is actually in it. He couldn't have done a better job of convincing people to throw him off the team than yesterday's debacle of not lifting the bat off his back in two ABs.

The Ginger Kid Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 took 2 of 3 from the Angels, had the tying run is scoring position in the 9th and got f***ed on 2 strike calls to swisher. I'll take it - good series. Let's cool off toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jphat007 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 7, 2008 -> 03:52 PM) All three of those were very hittable pitches. Last two were. that first one was straight nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they can luck out by backing into the playoffs if Minnesota plays as poorly as they have. They are outclassed against the other top AL teams.

If only Crede could have stayed healthy for two more weeks, Fields would have been traded at the deadline. There's no way he's on the team next year. And FWIW, I was one of his biggest fans last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone on here is proclaiming the Sox, without Quentin, to be world beaters. Just enjoy we're in the position we're actually in. If you couldn't enjoy last night's game after the fact, then there's no reason to ever watch baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Dye Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 (edited) QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ Sep 7, 2008 -> 02:56 PM) Then what does that make the Sox? All those teams are better. The Sox are better than anyone else at smashing homeruns. Therefore, if they're hot in the playoffs, they can beat anyone. The one thing they do really well is probably better than any one thing those other teams do. As far as being well-rounded, the Sox are not. But there's a very believable way for them to win any playoff series. Smashing it EDIT: To be clear -- They're the least likely of the 4 AL teams to get to the World Series, but it's not so much a disparity that you bother getting upset about it.

Let's not act like we were a consistent offensive team even with Quentin. Anyways, aside from the latter innings yesterday, the offense the first two games against Anaheim did pretty damn well. It's only one player in a lineup full of eight others. If even two of have stellar months and the rest don't regress too much it can be overcome.

joejoesox Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 it's funny that people thought we stood a great chance at winning today with Hall, Fields, and Brian Anderson in the lineup and yet, we almost won the game (lost by 1 run, had the tying RISP in the 9th inning) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
