Wise Master Buehrle Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 These past 3 days were great! You may be disappointed at this loss, but how many of you would have believed that we would have destroyed David Wells and Roger Clemens? Even against Mike Mussina, we didn't too THAT bad at all! On to Detroit, now the Sox need to go to this series exactly like they did this series, and never ever underistimate the Tigers, that is why they did so horribly last time in Detroit, they need to treat these Tigers like the Yankees, Royals, and Twins. I think they've learned their lesson as well, they shouldn't go in and think it'll be a breezy three games. Great job out in New York boys! I applaud you! This team, if they do well in Detroit, deserves a standing ovation the moment they get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's that easy. An unproven rookie pitcher is just what the Yank-mees needed after getting clobbered twice on their home turf and Uncle Jerry kindly gave it to them.

Capn12 Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Yeah, lets hope that the team that played in Detroit last series is not wearing Sox uniforms this time around. We went to NY, played the best team in the AL, and convincingly won 2 out of 3. And here we are, all b****ing about the 1 2 run game we lost. Jesus people, we outscored the Spankees by a combined score of 29-11 in 3 games IN NEW YORK. Be happy, they have dominated our division all year, and we gave them a little something to think about. ANd they still have to come to Comiskey, where we are 43-23!! Get over it now, because this team will lose again this year sometime, be prepared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 And they still only beat them 7-5, it could have been a complete blowout, the Sox never gave up, they just came up a little short. I still applaude them for sending the message to the Yankees. The know they won't get Cotts come October... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wise Master Buehrle Posted August 28, 2003 Author Share Posted August 28, 2003 Well, Cotts did SHUT DOWN the Rangers, another HUGE offensive threat. I would have liked Mark to start too, but after coming off that great start, that doesn't mean he's to know how Cotts will do every start. The Rangers are just as big an offensive threat as the Yankees, and Cotts shut them down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's that easy. An unproven rookie pitcher is just what the Yank-mees needed after getting clobbered twice on their home turf and Uncle Jerry kindly gave it to them. I totally agree. 2 outta 3 is fine but you're supposed to give your team an oppurtunity to win every time out. Manuel didn't do that. The real victim in this is Cotts. 1 minute he's starting, Then he's not, Now he's starting again. Jerry 100% set Cotts up to fail. No way should a rookie pitcher 'Who shouldn't be here in the 1st place" Who has major control problems shoulda got the mod when Buehrle said he felt fine and wanted to pitch. I'm not sayin i'm a baseball expert. But the fact that u can consistently question just about every move Manuel makes shows how f***in wack he is. Anything less than a world series apperance should result in Jerry getting fired....Period... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manuel is not Miss Cleo's husband. He's not to know if Cotts is going to do well or not. Cotts dismantled the Rangers, another great offensive team. I think nervousness got him again, I think he's more comfortable pitching at the Cell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what Cotts does, that's what Cotts did. No one would have known that it wouldn't happen again, no one would have known that his confidence still isn't that high even after a 1 run start against the RANGERS.

The Yanks r already realing after back to back ass whoopins. So u let them off the hook by throwin a rookie out who can't throw strikes? Today's gm was over before is started...

Wise Master Buehrle Posted August 28, 2003 Author Share Posted August 28, 2003 You have to realize, the Yankees HAD to go into this game wanting to win badly, they did, they probably mgiht have roughed up Mark a little bit as well, probably not as badly, but still a little. The Yankees wanted to win this game badly, I think they would have gotten it no matter who was starting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Yankees wanted to win this game badly, I think they would have gotten it no matter who was starting. I'm sure they wanted to win badly last night after getting thumped 13-2...The Yanks r the Yanks. If they didn't wanna win every time out they wouldn't be who they are. Buehrle has been one of the best pitchers in baseball the last 3 months. If he says he feels fine then u go with him. End of story...

Jordan4life_2003 Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 I came on just to post a thread like this. We are a horrible raod team and took 2 out of 3 from the best team in the AL, on the road. Two out of are 3 "playoff" pitchers pitched GREAT, and were still in first. Ill take that anyday. I'm not sayin 2 of 3 is bad. But we totally whoop Ny 2 nights in a row. U know they have to be a lil demoralized. So instead of sending one of the best left handed pitchers in the game at them u throw a no strike throwing rookie out there? The Yanks must have thrown a lil party before the gm to celebrate the stupidity of Jerry Manuel. To me whem u have a team down. U crush them. Jerry is one of those types of managers that will SETTLE for 2 outta 3. A good mananger goes for the kill every single time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Yanks were angry at having been blown out on their home field TWICE and were looking for some chink in our armor to steal a win. Jerry the Saboteur was more than willing to give it to them too.

The Yankees wanted to win this game badly, I think they would have gotten it no matter who was starting. I think you are right. The people who know MB would of won, it was guarenteed, are full of s***., No one knows for sure. It is only speculation. I suspect MB would have lost today too. Who knows. But the idea that MB would have won for sure and thus JM gave the game way is just a lot of trash talk. MB has always pitched well against Detroit and given we had won the series with the Yankees - which a lot of people didn't think was possible because we don't "match up" against the other top teams - going to Detroit where of all things we were swept and say what you will about Detroit, they are still a major league team and they want to get something oif this season by smacking us - they beat Anaheim last Sunday and we sure don't need to lose tomorrow night to start the series - besides, who here KNOWS whether MB isn't better served by yet another day of rest. Anyone here talk to the trainer or doctor yesterdaty and today? I hope JM shipped MB to Detroit a day early so he has a full night of rest and all - that's what JM did with Colon when we played Seattle there. But to say that it is a sure thing that we win if MB starts today is just so much bulls***. If it is that easy and that predictable and guarenteed, people, show me your major league managing job and/or the millions of dollars you have won betting on all the guarenteed wins youa re capable of predicting. Hell, show me some success in the soxtalk PTC or YNOT - if it is so easy to know what will happen before the game cuz you are so much smarter than JM. We took 2 out of 3 against NY in NY and that is what is good. Way to go Sox! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
