IlliniBob72 Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Is anyone else not surprised to see that Keith Foulke blew a save in a huge game for the A's? I know there are people pining for him and I'd rather have him than Koch, but I was thrilled to see him leave town. He always seemed to fail in the big games and after he served up a ding-dong to Giambi in the Yankee heartbreaker in Comiskey, he was forever banished to my personal s***list.

cwsox Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 I like Foulke a lot. He also blew some big games for us and confidence was gone. I think the change of scenery was good for everyone. I wish him well on the As except against us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forkit Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Here's how I feel about players that are traded: For me, they're no longer Sox players, so I seldom even give them a glance. I'm a Sox fan...I don't dislike someone because they were traded or let go or signed with someone else...They just aren't Sox players now, so I am busy watching my team. By the way, I loved Robin Ventura when he was here. I felt he was getting a little long in the tooth his last year or so...and when he was negotiating with the team for a new contract, he gave a few interviews where he said that the deciding factor wouldn't be about money. And of course, he went elsewhere for more money. Now, I don't have a problem with that. It's a player's right to get whatever they can get from baseball owners. But here's where I have a problem: Just say it upfront! Say the truth, like: " I expect the Sox to be the top bidder for my services because..." Or "I'm near the end of my career and I want more money because this may be my last contract." Just once, be upfront and tell us you're not staying because you got 15 percent more to be a Yankee, for example. Don't pretend there is loyalty involved unless you really mean it. I'm not saying I dislike Robin. I thought less of him because he used the same baloney all professional athletes use when they are negotiating contracts. Just say it straight! Forkit!

Harry Chappas Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Talk about overuse. This guy may throw over 100 innings. He threw 2 on Tuesday and 1 2/3 Thursday. I understand it was a big series. Typical A's fashion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmr31 Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Its getting to be about the time of year when Keith Foulke proves he should be setting up and not closing games. Sit back and enjoy the view guys, its a lock to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 I like Foulke a lot. He also blew some big games for us and confidence was gone. I think the change of scenery was good for everyone. I wish him well on the As except against us. AT LEAST HE IS ON A TEAM THAT ACTS LIKE IT'S GOING SOMEWHERE.

DonkeyKongerko Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Watch Oakland blow Foulke's arm off and then trade him back to us for a healthy Koch. I think we all thought the same thing when we read about Foulke's innings pitched. I wonder how many innings you have to pitch to blow your arm out on palmballs.

CubKilla Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 I think the change of scenery was good for everyone. How do you figure? The A's got Foulke who is leading the AL in saves and was a '03 All-Star. We got Botch. Looks good to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
