riverside sluggers

still when you are a defensive replacement in the late innings, batting stats shouldnt count. if the game is quickly out of hand, or a big lead they need solid D players, Cano just recently made another error.

sure thing

well we werent getting anything from him really and I was very much expecting this, hopefully he can regain his 2004 self for the 2006 season. If not try to deal him in the trade months of July. I heard Foulke had this long meeting with Tito and Wallace in Tito's office, i knew something was up...

Surhoff, Quinton McCracken, Carlos Lee (Team Option), Bobby Higginson, Hideki Matsui, Rondell White, Randy Winn, Jeff Conine, Todd Hollandsworth Center Field: Jacque Jones, Preston Wilson, Jay Payton, Bernie Williamsm Kenny Lofton, Curtis Pride, Ruben Rivera, Johnny Damon Right Field: Sammy Sosa (Team Option), Larry Walker (Team Option), Juan Encarnacion, Gabe Kapler, Orlando Palmeiro, Jose Cruz Jr., Jacob Cruz, Richard Hidalgo, Juan Gonzalez, Moises Alou (Player Option), Jeromy Burnitz (Mutual Option), Brian Jordan, Matt Lawton Note: Im just listing rightfielders because theyd have not that bad of a transition from right field to left field. Trot's my boy

whats really got to (mind my language) f***ing stop is these careless plays by Manny. In April I can let go a jog to 1st base. But to do that when you're team just has 11 games left and holds a .5 game lead is inexcusable. Kazmir had lost the ball and with hustle Manny couldnt gotten to 1st base safely or at least a close call, Kazmir had thrown the ball high which Lee had to jump up off the base to get it. Even Lee was surprised when he came down that Manny was still like 5, 6 feet from getting there. Who knows if they wouldve been able to score some runs in that 1st inning. dont even get me started on how a lot of times balls will just go by him in the outfield, 8th inning *cough*

Johnson vs Schilling for Game 2 will be the nationally televised game on Fox

every game is a must win from here and out

Note: you do know Piniella has a tendency to leave his starters and bullpen pithcers in for too long, dont you???

not a hangover as Boston Globe has just reported this

as indicated on nesn, speculations are abound that wells has been pitching on a bad knee, he might need a cortizone shot

NFL WEEK 3 PICKS Atlanta vs Buffalo Cincinnati vs Chicago Jacksonville vs NY Jets Oakland vs Phildaelphia Tennesse vs St. Louis Carolina vs Miami Cleveland vs Indianapolis New Orleans vs Minnesota Tampa Bay vs Green Bay Dallas vs San Francisco Arizona vs Seattle New England vs Pittsburgh- ( i can dream right? :dunno: ) NY Giants vs San Diego Kansas City vs Denver

how come he hasnt played since sept 9? thats two weeks of bench-warming

i post what i want, tito is in the same boat as torre if his job is on the line if sox dont make the playoffs

god he played through his pain because he had pride he didnt want to tell anyone which means hed end up missing time, i wasnt f***ing praising him

from foxsports, talking about how Lou Piniella is leaving the D-Rays and what teams will need a manager come spring training 2006. guess what team they mention also? Might Tito be in same boat that Torre is in? but still > i wouldnt ever want Piniella as the manager of the Sox

well dude i didnt know what you fully meant until you started to name off players and such never trust a cuban defector

that is true, baseball players have the biggest pride (IMO Johnny Damon, Keith Foulke, Mat Mantei, Wade Miller) who play through pain instead because tehy dont want to miss out on anything and help their team

why not have optimism instead of thinking this kid will falter? The A's Huston Street is younger than Hansen and look at what he is doing right now

well thats not a racist comment

dude cmon this is just sad, going back and reading through all of the past posts and responding to them

yanks had the 1/2 game lead before, 10 games left and anything can happen

Wakefield hands down has been our ace. He still leads in wins, lowest ERA, strikeouts, innings pitched, etc... if not for lack of run support and among other things he could be on his way to being a 20 game winner. lets just say sox get their s*** together and take the al east or wild card title, Wakefield should be the Game 1 starter

true just gotta go look toward the next game, this time have dave wallace handle the bullpen decisions not tito. yanks had the 1/2 game lead for a day in July, but Sox overtook it the next day. im not saying outright sox will win the rest of the games easily, in baseball anything can happen like with what happened tonight...

Timlin has let 18 of 32 inherited runners to score (56% clip) highest in majors, pitcher vs batter stats dont count here, that percentage should say enough to not let him in
