To me the major disappointment has been the hitting; who really knew what we had in the bullpen? Everyone KNEW we would hit, right?

I mean, an Ocker AND Chulk outline reference in one post...save some for another day!! In all seriousness, I believe you really captured the essence of the thought process behind this week's move, if not the exact words used by Tribe brass. Thanks for a wonderful read and keep up the good work.Joel Shapirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17146489089620419469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-20590165688415660012009-05-08T07:27:00.000-04:002009-05-08T07:27:00.000-04:00I remember a class A high school team years ago th...I remember a class A high school team years ago that had 3 ace pitchers. (unheard of in class A) They pitched each one 2 innings per game every game no matter what. They played 7 innings so they would stick a fourth kid in for one inning somewhere. Each pitcher had a totally different delivery and the batters never got used to any one of them. They won districts that year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-28487206792647427262009-05-08T02:03:00.000-04:002009-05-08T02:03:00.000-04:00C'mon, these guys were thinking outside the box an...C'mon, these guys were thinking outside the box and no one suggested starting with the bum relievers, spotting the opposition early, then relieving with the starters and demanding they finish the game?

At the very least, the Sox should retroactively forfeit the '07 pennant to us, though I'm not so sure I'd give up '95 and '97 if only b/c of Omar's presence.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02295990574792149703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-80466850431569631002009-05-07T13:55:00.000-04:002009-05-07T13:55:00.000-04:00another piece of brilliance Pauly!
