fathom

Hawk's afraid to say we're getting outmanaged.

The Twins really are superior to us in every aspect besides hitting homers. So basically, it's like every year besides 2005.

Great double play turned. That was so obvious though. Great managing by Gardenhire there.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 06:21 PM) Silva is terrible Smart decision to walk Dye.

QUOTE(iguchi=dank @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 06:21 PM) Ugh seeing that again... How do you NOT win a game after a HR/play like that... ugh that hurts to see Just like Iguchi's grand slam to tie it against Brad Lidge.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 06:20 PM) I like to be impartial, so I have to say the only way Dye deserves the MVP is if the White Sox make the playoffs and the Red Sox don't. Hawk thinks the piranhas should win the MVP.

No walks here. It sets up the PK DP.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 06:19 PM) Awesome. I love the ovation for Dye. Well done by our crowd.

Ozzie...it's Buehrle vs Silva. There's no use for small ball in the first inning.

Good job by Pods so far this inning.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 06:14 PM) Mark gives up hits so quickly Its hard to keep track of whats going on. So at what point do these games fit the 'fun bad' category..any B&B fans will know what I'm talking about. It gets fun bad if we lose more than 2 games next week.

What's the over/under on double plays hit into by the Sox today? I'm saying 2.5.

Hawk....for the love of God, please shut the hell up with the piranha s***.

You have to admire these swings by the Twins with 2 strikes. I love the high fastball call when it's a DP situation. Keep up the amazing pitch calling catchers.

High change-up #1 on the day. The over/under is 12. Here we go again.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 05:50 PM) With Pods not running anymore, its been pointless to have him out there. Gloads would be such a signficant upgrade over him. But bottom line, I want a new manager. I'm sick of tired of our motherf***ing manager putting this motherf***ing players in a position where they can't succeed (sorry about the cursing, but I love snakes on a plane). I've had it with him putting guys in a position that they can't succeed. Thats not what a good manager does, good managers do everything they can to always put there players in the best situations for them to succeed (and as a result the team succeeds). Ozzie's trashed Garland and Tracey verbally, called Bmac a piece of s*** (well pretty much stating that he isn't anything compared to what we have), he's made stupid jag comments in the media (from the Mariotti incident to all the stuff about stealing signs) and he's been a terrible manager (in terms of a baseball standpoint) yet the entire media still hoots and hollars and raves about how great he is. It really is a joke that no one in the baseball media has the guts to step up and call things like it really is (its too bad that the only one who might do it is Mariotti, but even if he were to write a spot on article, it wouldn't float over well just because of who he is).

QUOTE(greg775 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 06:28 AM) Fathom do you believe Oz Guillen who played the game for 15 years or however many and has 2 world series rings has no idea about his players abilities??? Fathom did he create the roster??? KW did. I disagree with his use of the Sunday lineup sometimes but my gawd you are a smart baseball person. I don't understand your infatuation with Ozzie being a s*** manager. Ozzie knows the game of baseball fathom; you act like he is about as smart as Terry Bevington. Ozzie had just as much say in the roster as KW did. And yes, I think he's a bad manager who continues to violate my #1 rule. QUOTE(Wealz @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 04:30 PM) The pitching isn't just not carrying the team anymore. It has been terrible. The offense has done a great job as evidenced by having a legit shot at the playoffs going into September. Fixed

Look at it this way: In game 1 of this series, T. Hunter, who's on quite the power streak, took until he had a 3-2 pitch when leading off the 9th inning. He eventually got a single. In the bottom of the 10th, Gload, who's not a power hitter, swung basically straight up on a 3-1 pitch well inside when leading off the inning. That's all you have to know about the difference in these teams right now.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 04:38 AM) I know we agree to disagree on Oz, fathom. I think our players are to blame. I mean the team showed some heart in coming back tonight. Can Oz pitch for Jose C who was horses***, etc? No, he can't pitch for Contreras. However, he can stop putting Mackowiak out in CF, who has probably added .25 to every starters ERA this season. If Anderson is in CF, Contreras might have gotten away with some of those early mistakes.

QUOTE(CubKilla @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 04:32 AM) Typical Rongeyism: "Sure the Sox lost a heartbreaker tonight, and yes, they're still 5.5 games out of 1st and now 1.5 games out for the WC, but it could be worse. The Sox could be in the Philadelphia Phillies position." WTF does that have to do with the White Sox? Did he really say this?

QUOTE(greg775 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 04:27 AM) I can't believe Ozzie is getting so much blame on this board this year. He's as good or better than any manager in the game. There are two managers in our own division who are leaps and bounds better than him. I can't believe Ozzie isn't getting more blame in the media for the continued failure of certain aspects of the Sox this season.

Nice to see some more great chemistry on the Sox. This article states that Ozzie/Vazquez are debating him getting pulled last night. http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...-home-headlines

QUOTE(G&T @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 04:11 AM) That's the difference between wanting to win and playing to win. The Sox want to win, but they don't want to put in the full effort to win. They blame umpires and whatever else to justify losing it seems. Meanwhile there are the Twins, hustling out every play and forcing the game instead of waiting for the game to come to them. Before our series last weekend at the Dome, I knew we were in trouble once I heard that Hunter told the media that he was nervous that the Twins would be too "amped" up for the game. Meanwhile, Buehrle and PK continue to go with the "just another game" approach.

QUOTE(premo @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 04:05 AM) And another thing, I hate Tori Hunter more than any other player in baseball. I'd like to see Buehrle hit him in the mouth tommorrow. I have so much admiration for the heart and hustle Hunter is playing with right now. You can tell he's nowhere near 100 pct out there, but he's the most intense guy on the field and in the dugout.

This week on the radio, Don Cooper said that anything but another World Series championship this year is a disappointment.
