QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 02:17 AM) Right because we made no attempt to get Lance Berkman or Adam Dunn... Gotta get it done. Talk is cheap. They were danging Hudson and got another starter for him. That was ridiculously dumb. Just get it done and improve the team. That was the season right there. Sox stood pat. Team failed.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 02:16 AM) Ozzie is probably thinking the same thing that Leyland was thinking last night when he let Verlander throw 130 pitches or so..... "f*** it, it doesn't matter anymore" Yeah but Danks was at 101. The Sox fans who want a higher draft pick should be happy anyway.

Or overachieving for him to build the record this horses*** team built. The Sox had a chance at the break. They had overcome the 9.5 game deficit. KW/Oz/Konerko made no attempt to improve by adding a big bat and reliever. It has nothing to do with quitting. Game.Set.Match. (the Konerko reference was to him also saying the team needed nothing to improve).

101 pitches. What yu drinkin tonight?

Danks needs to learn how to pitch longer in games. Nice try. Ozzie is not a terrible manager. He's one of the best.

Sort of unless you are female. Sigh is a message board thing that rubs me the wrong way. Shoot me for it.

Our team is laughably bad. They are dropping games now with the frequency of that winning streak earlier. Sox go on the field and they suck. It's been a given for a while now.

My message board pet peeve is when people post "sigh." Nothing against you, I just think it's feminine.

I wonder if next year is the year our starting pitchers reach their potential.

Good catch by Lilly.

Great play by Morel. I'm laughing at what Teahen would have done with that perfect bunt.

QUOTE (Real @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 02:07 AM) I predicted a twins sweep in game 1's gamethread, this team is garbage It's 10 over .500; probably nine over after tonight. That's not garbage. If you want garbage, I'm sure the Sox will give it to you one of these seasons in the future.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 01:35 AM) Cool Mark Teahen! I am so glad Ozzie decided to flip Teahen and Morel in the lineup so that way Teahen could be the one to come up with RISP and ground out instead of Morel coming up and having a much higher chance of succeeding..... f*** it, what do I care, games don't matter anymore anyway..... QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 02:07 AM) Watching Teahen play, whether it be batting or fielding, is a very painful experience. 1.) Get used to it. Sox are paying him a lot of money so he'll probbly be starting next season. s***, who am I kidding. He WILL be starting for the Sox next season. The Linebrink thing proves Sox won't demote/and or dump anybody making huge money. 2.) Sox need to quit signing guys who happen to hit White Sox pitching. Teahen is ridiculously bad. Who cares if he hit our wildly inconsistent pitching well throughout the years?

The announcers should spend the whole game blasting the Sox for this abomination of a season. Start the season horribly. Have one amazing amazing run. End the season horribly. This season just leaves a horrible taste. It's going to make for a s***ty offseason wondering if we're going to play the same kind of ball next year. s***ty vs. the Central and basically dysfunctional baseball.

we ain't gonna go 7-7. we are cooked. more like 4-10.

You don't agree with me Ozzie made a lot of loot? Enough to live on this life and next?

That's quite a guarantee. I say his teams will fade like any others if his players aren't good enough.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 09:26 PM) I would be so happy if this happened. So would I. I'll laugh my ass off next year when Guillen is building Florida into a big time winner and LaRussa is getting second guessed every day like Guillen gets second guessed now.

Ozzie is a former player who played in the era of big contracts. He's cocky. Some people can't deal with that.

We're probably destined to keep losing and finish about .500 which is what this team was all along. What a tease.

QUOTE (CQMVP @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 04:56 AM) I don't have to generalize to make him look bad. The guy hasn't gotten a hit in a clutch situation in his entire time here, and he's had plenty of chances. ONE RBI. Thome had an amazing OBP most years too. So what? When you're old, fat, and slow, how does getting on base really help the team, unless you've got guys batting behind you that can string together 3-4 hits in a row? Manny is as base to base as Thome was. So what you're telling me is Manny is a great leadoff hitter, if only he was fast, could play the field, steal bases, and actually do something productive once he got on base? Awesome. Stats don't tell the whole story, sorry. They never do. I agree stats don't tell the whole story. They never do. Very nice two sentences by you. Bye, bye Manny. you will be a former White Sox next year which means you will be all motivated when you play the Sox and probably beat us 3 or more times.

Torres, Teahen and Linebrink ... oh my. Seriously. All 3 should simply be released. I know we have a lot of posts calling for guys to be released, but these three guys can't play this sport.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 12:10 AM) If I'm KW, I'm dangling Alex Rios this winter. Maybe someone will bite and pay for the 2010 total numbers and his talent. .259 avg .301 OBP and an OPS under .700 the second half. I agree with you. If money is an object, then the Sox need that money.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 12:27 AM) I love how the Twins are somehow the epitome of playoff failure because they keep losing to the Yankees every year. The other years they've made it they lost to the Angels, the eventual World Series champion in 2002, and the A's in 2006 (the latter being the only year in which you could say they choked). Why do we care how the Twins are perceived? I repeat a common mantra, "f*** the twins."

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 17, 2010 -> 11:14 PM) they played about .500 ball in August, they're just under .500 in September. Free fall? Hardly. The Twins are just a better team, it pains me to say it, but they're playing exceptional baseball right now. we had a four game lead at one point and tons of head to head matchups against them and choked in almost every one of those head to head matchups. We are in a freefall. The Twins are good, but the White Sox who have more "name" players than the Twins, folded their cards.
