CanadianChris Posted August 16, 2005 Author Report Posted August 16, 2005 They need to be careful with Hernandez. He's only 19, so there's no need to overwork him and risk Tommy John surgery when he's 23. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So don't trade him to the Cubs.
KingPK Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 Nice to see that the Red Sox just seem to be sleepwalking through these Tigers games so they can go get swept by Anaheim. They aren't winning another game until the KC series next week.
mike546 Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 Why do people pitch to David Ortiz? I see no reasonable answer anymore.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 Decent performance from Jon Papelbon. I saw him pitch last week at Scranton and he looked highly impressive. The Sox have a good prospect on their hands.
mike546 Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 Yankees are screwed by a fan if they lose this game. Fan reached way over the fence for a ball that wasn't going out.
TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 Rivera is having a tough week.

Guest Fishyswa Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 I'll join in. Shouldn't of gone that far but there's a pretty HUGE difference between a guy on second or third and a 3-3 game. I think umps won't give the close one's to us for a couple more decades to make up for the Mayer incident. Rivera looked great in the 10th. Now we just need to do what the sox did....
TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 Great call on the pitch-out
bob_barron Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 They aren't winning another game until the KC series next week. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No.
bob_barron Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 When did Reitsma get the message that it was okay to suck again?
Guest Fishyswa Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 Proctor needs to climb back into his mothers vagina.
mike546 Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 I don't question Torre much, but loading the bases with Proctor pitching, who first of all has never been able to pitch well in a big situation, and 2nd, cannot throw strikes for his life? Terrible move.
Bored Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 First base ump blows a call for the final out of the 7th in the A's/Orioles game, Orioles then turn in a big inning. A's are in a complete freefall now. I'm praying the Royals win tonight or tomorrow in Seattle as I don't want the A's to be the one to end the streak. The team's offense is gone.
KingPK Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 Well, my reverse psychology worked out perfectly, so let's try it again. Bonderman will no-hit the Red Sox tomorrow. But seriously, Remlinger is Embree redux. Hopefully Papelbon will only start one more game and then go to the pen because with that fastball, he'll be pretty untouchable for one or two innings (since he seems to tire after about 70 pitches or so). Maybe Remlinger and Proctor can exchange pitching tips.
Bruiser Chong Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 I pity anyone who's watched the entire White Sox telecast tonight. Great game, but a guaranteed 16 innings of Hawk and DJ? My god.

Bruiser Chong Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 A Yankees fan endorsing the "glass half full" philiosophy? The hell?
devo Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 So long as he can remind someone, ANYONE, that the Yankees are currently out of the playoffs.
mike546 Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 First time this season I've rooted for the Orioles. That was way too uneasy.
Bruiser Chong Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 Twins break it open in the 16th and of course, the White Sox announcers are blaming it all on a fielder's choice they thought was a doubleplay.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 The Os are only a game under .500 at 59-60. If they can get the sweep tomorrow...it would put them 7 GB of Oakland for the Wild Card with 42 games left. The way they've been playing under Perlozzo (8-4) and getting really good pitching, its possible. I woudldn't have thought it possible 2 weeks ago either..
King Kamala Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 Interesting question I heard on a sports talk show (Can't remember which might have even been Cold Pizza or something of that ilk), will The Royals win another game? Obviously I think they will, but how long can this losing streak go on? Today, they have the series finale against Seattle in Seattle against Jamie Moyer. If I had to bet my money, I'd say they lose today and after that, it's a series against the As in Oakland, a series against The Red Sox at home and a series against the Yankees in New York. I bet they break their losing streak at home against Texas when they face them in early September. By then, their losing streak would be over 30 games. This Royals team is absolutely pitiful, on par perhaps with the '03 Tigers? I think the Royals might have a hard time winning six more games this season to beat The Tigers 43 wins. So how long do you guys think the Royals losing streak will last?
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 Two games at most. Anyone who thinks the Royals, bad as they are, can't win a single game against Oakland, Boston or New York is kidding themselves. Even the pathetic Cleveland Spiders didn't lose 30 straight.
Bored Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 The way the A's are playing I seriously doubt they'll sweep the Royals.
