  1. QUOTE (Buehrlesque @ Aug 23, 2010 -> 10:37 AM) His agent is Scott Boras. Most likely, there's your answer. Ah. I see.
  2. QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 23, 2010 -> 09:52 AM) Didn't he also say we would see a huge move at the trade deadline? I guess he meant we'd give up our cheap #4/5 starter for the next 5 years for an expensive 14 month rental. I think Stone had heard about the potential Manny deal and was talking about that. Still, I don't put a lot of faith in his prediction that something big will go down. On a side note, do you think if Jackson performs well (as he has so far) into next season that the Sox won't try to re-sign him? Would he be too expensive?
  3. QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 23, 2010 -> 09:38 AM) The problem is that the Twins are having their run against AL teams whereas we did it against primarily NL teams. Just look at our division and league record. Can we all of a sudden turn that around? Maybe but it's not likely and we have no more NL teams on the schedule to beat up on. In the defense of the Sox, their streak started against NL teams but did carry into an Al schedule. But, you're right that the Twins are having a more respectable streak. A team (the Sox) that play so poorly against their own division should not win the division. It they so somehow win the division it won't be because they beat up on the Twins, Tigers, Royals, and Indians.
  4. QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Aug 23, 2010 -> 09:53 AM) If the White Sox gain 1 game on the Twins in every 7 games they play, they will force a tie breaker. The key is they can not afford to go beyond 5 games back. The Twins are bound to come back to Earth eventually. Hopefully when they do, they will hit hard times kind of like how we did after our hot streak. The fact of the matter is. Its not over yet. Not even close. Obviously if we can continue to play ball like this we are in BIG trouble. But I truly believe this team has one more serious run in them. Call me peter positive but this team seems to come back to life when they are on the verge of extinction. I think Kenny Williams is going to add to the pen AND add a significant bat to the lineup. He knows he has to at this point. All arrows are pointed toward Manny Ramirez. If that happens, it will be a lethal injection to a struggling lineup. That doesn't sound good.
  5. The Sox have to play much better baseball starting tomorrow. But, that alone won't get the job done. They will have to rely on some other teams beating the Twins and/or the Twins falling apart. One would think that the Twins can't keep up their pace (the Sox didn't after a while). The question is whether it will be too late when and if they falter.
  6. QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Aug 23, 2010 -> 08:46 AM) Eh... I hope you're wrong. Apparently Steve Stone is saying that something big might happen this week. And I hope he's right. I'm not sure the Sox can get back on top, but having a bat better than Kotsay's right now would be sweet.
  7. QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 10:01 PM) Minnie just played an amazingly clean game on TV in a shutout of the Angels. Minnie is so good with limited talent it's scary. I think the Twins have more talent than some think. But, you're right that they play much better baseball than the Sox do, and the Sox aren't lacking in the talent category. I believe the Twins are just a better team.
  8. I'm sure it's been mentioned in this thread before, but I'm lazy. What is Manny's contract status after this year?
  9. It seems to me that Hawk has gotten noticeably worse this year. He can't judge a fly ball at all anymore (ulness he is just wishing that every fly ball will be a home run), he says "DAGummit" way too often, and his creepy "don't stop now boys" has grown quite thin. I find myself saying, "shut up, Hawk" many times during a game. He does have some decent one-liners here and there. The best was during the 11-0 win over the Twins after Pierre was hit by a pitch for the second time. It was right after some atrocious fielding by the Twins, and Hawk said if the pitcher was so upset he should be throwing at his own players. That was a good one.
  10. QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 23, 2010 -> 07:02 AM) Tired? I guess this rotating DH solution wasn't so beneficial after all. Hey now! That whole rotating DH issue hasn't been the problem! Look at Kotsay. He's gotten some...I mean, he has been good at...well, I like his beard.
  11. QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 11:28 PM) Jenky Cat is becoming my idol. Because he constantly defends Ozzie, too? I'm not sure why everyone can't see that Ozzie has made a lot of bad managerial decisions this year. The arguments of late regarding the injuries to Putz and Thornton have me scratching my head. Regardless of the number of pitches Thornton threw, he is not a 2+ inning pitcher. I'm not saying that caused his injury, but it certainly didn't help. All in all, there is way too much sniping going on here lately. There are too many posters just waiting for someone else to post something they can argue about. Discussions and disagreements are fine, that's what makes this site fun. But to call each other stupid or clueless or other inflammatory words is getting old. Take it easy guys. Yes, our team sucks right now, but let's not take it out on each other.
  12. QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 04:29 PM) It's scary, every time I see the title of this thread, I think it says "TV Announcer Dies". Keep waiting to see some bio about Shoeless Ron Santo. Terrible. But I did smile a bit.
  13. Hawk will never go away. But, I've had it with his "stretch, stretch!" call on every fly ball. That and his constant complaining. It has gotten very old this season.
  14. I wonder if he would be nearly as good if he played a lot more. I like him, and I'd be all for some increased playing time.
  15. And only 11 hours and 45 minutes until the next game
  16. QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 01:09 AM) The bars close at 1:45 a.m. in Kansas, what bout Chicago? 2Am, some at 3AM
  17. QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 01:08 AM) We are going to lose this game. Wow. Stop!
  18. If they blow this I say we all sign off and go to the bar.
  19. QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 01:06 AM) Well it's nice to know everyone is not being a douche right now. Sorry, but this team will make ya act like a douche.
  20. QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 01:05 AM) mercy. so who pitches the bottom frame, omar? Kotsay
  21. I'm surprised there's still this many of us still up watching this stuff.
