i may have missed their 2nd run...
cuz i’m actually forced to do work between pitches right now. But I looked one second and it was 3-1. then saw a homer and the score was 3-3.
maybe that 2nd run came prior to the homer?
i’m feeling so listless after that. oy.

he doesn't care at all. he only pitched well in all of those other games so ozzie would trust him and he could fuck this game up.

Speaking of dumbass rednecks...

LOL!
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
yeah, why doesn't he throw a hissy fit like zambrano does?
you know, keeping composure in difficult situations is usually – i know i’m going out on a limb here – a desirable thing.
I much prefer the bat-slam-so-everyone-knows-I-care approach
Dotel should have put on a hair shirt. Or at least thrown his glove down.
Otherwise we can’t tell if he’s a true ballplayer.

3 up 3 down

The mystery now becomes...."how do we lose this?"
A) Cubs just rally for a run or two or in the 8th…
B) Cubs win on 9th inning walk off
C) Cubs win on extra inning walk off
damn the bad luck
"Jenks, who was never afraid to say "no" to a hamburger..."
by BobbySouthSide on Jun 20, 2008 4:06 PM CDT up reply actions
D) Thornton and Masset combine to walk the bases loaded
then Linebrink hits the next batter. Bottom of the 9th.
Wasn't there a game in Wrigley...
that ended that way a few years ago? I seem to recall a Carlos Lee homer to tie the game, followed by Damaso Marte walking in the winning run with the bases loaded.

Blowing a game where the starting pitcher gave 6 fine innings of work with back to back solo homers would cause lots of negativity anywhere. If this was against the Twins, I’d be much more pissed off.

granted he had a bad inning, but coming into today he’d given up 2 homers in 33+ innings with 13 k/per 9.

by Toonderstrook on Jun 20, 2008 4:15 PM CDT up reply actions
He walks too many guys...
and when he gives up hits, they tend to go for extra bases.
Not to mention his well-documented tendency (that dates back from his days in Houston and Oakland) to completely melt down when an important game is on the line.
by The Jerry Royster Experience on Jun 20, 2008 4:17 PM CDT up reply actions
How about...
Dude was known for it here in Oakland. A’s fans were all excited to get him (look at all those Ks!), and he quickly wore out his welcome.
by The Jerry Royster Experience on Jun 20, 2008 4:26 PM CDT up reply actions
perception does not equal documentation, jer
duh. you said it was well documented, not commonly believed.
If you want numbers...
he blew six saves in just half a season as closer for the 2004 A’s. They finished in second place by one game. He blew four saves last year, despite being hurt most of the year.
Put him in a high-leverage situation, and there’s a decent chance he strikes out the side. There’s also a decent chance he’ll blow up completely. I simply don’t trust him with the game on the line.
by The Jerry Royster Experience on Jun 20, 2008 4:39 PM CDT up reply actions
if coming in with the bases clear in the 7th with a 2 run lead is high leverage,
then pretty much every time he’s pitched this year has been as well. and he has done very well overall.
Half Dome is my bitch. Shasta is next.
by Toonderstrook on Jun 20, 2008 4:44 PM CDT up reply actions
"decent chance"
i’ve really got no clue what jer is going on about here. if you’ve got an irrational hatred, i guess you’ve got an irrational hatred. dotel, from all appearances, is a fine reliever. actually, better than most. perfection, yet again, is what is demanded from petulant sox fans. wah.
his 4.5 bb/9 is high, i'll give you that.
but coming into today, he’d given up 6 extra base hits in 33+ innings. even after today, 8 (of 29 hits) in 34+ innings ain’t too shabby.
