KingPK 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2004 Oh COME ON 'Sault, I've seen you bitch after WINS. Really, you won't get banned or anything, let it out. Besides, the Sox are only 3 1/2 back, and the Yankees' starters completely blow right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted September 1, 2004 Did someone lobotomize him? It's only baseball. Sometimes you have to ride the little hiccups out and hope for the best. Losing my temper would accomplish nothing. You can't catch breaks somedays. It's not like the Yankees are trying to lose. I'm sure they went out there tonight and gave it their all. No, but I bet if the Indians go on to win tomorrow or Wednesday, we'll get the AS we all know and love. Not really. Que sera, sera. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KingPK 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2004 I think the Yankees finally broke him. And I noticed Cleveland left six guys on base on top of all that. Has a team ever have 0 LOB in a game? It seems like a statistical impossiblity, but has it ever happened? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems like a statistical impossiblity, but has it ever happened? It is certainly a statistical possibility. It's not what you're thinking of, but every team on the losing end of a perfect game has had 0 LOB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted September 1, 2004 (edited) "Can't catch breaks"? Have you been going to therapy or something? Well, sometimes things happen. They were playing a team that scores alot and facing a pretty decent pitcher. It would be unfair, for me, a non baseball player to find fault in the way they played the game tonight.

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2004 Well, sometimes you just get your ass kicked. This 22-0 score was a laugher but not something to be terribly worried about in the short term. Just a fluke. That said... No way are these guys winning it all. You don't lose 22-0 and win it all. It reminds me of another game the Indians had against a powerful team: the 2001 Mariners. M's got ahead something like 11-1 and somehow the Indians came back and won it in extra innings. On that night I knew despite however many wins the Mariners would get, there was no way these guys are going to win the World Series. I think the Yankees will scrape themselves off the floor and win the division, but their playoff chances are looking bleaker by the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can imagine him saying this with lots of twitching and facial tics. Aw, come on. It's only one game. And if you're gonna lose, might as well set some records. Sometimes things just don't go our way. A good team is going to lose 60 games. If I lost my mind after every single loss, I'd have stroke by July. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2004 Indeed you did, Al. Funny thing is I almost benched him today for Sheffield, but realized that Vazquez was pitching. Mind you I've also got Vazquez, but wisely benched him (as well as Prior). Good thing, too, since they wound up surrendering 11 earned runs between the two of them in under seven innings of work. Even so, my ERA still took an ass whooping thanks to Smoltz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bored 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2004 Honestly it's been my expierence that majority of fans shrug off blow out losses, especially when their team is good. There are just some games where everything goes wrong and most fans recognize that, even AS. Watching your team lose a close game where they had many chances to win is much worse. A's win tonight, Angels and Rangers both lose. Finally a small cushion in the division. Anyone noticed the incredible year Aaron Rowand is having? .322/.377/.583.

ISportsFan 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2004 Anyone noticed the incredible year Aaron Rowand is having? .322/.377/.583. I have. He's the one bright spot of the "new talent" that is getting their chance to play every day under Guillen. He's become a very reliable everyday center fielder.

I don't particuarly care for either team and find the Sox more appealing, but this season, it's been a toss-up for which team has the more annoying fans.
