Wise definitely is an automatic out unless they walk him. I didn't like Freddie's grin. I think he knows he's got us.

Fred's getting into a groove. f***o. Wish out guys would just bash the ball for singles sometimes. Freddie is doing a fine job.

Nice wood on the ball, but get it down, OC. Leadoff hitters need singles.

THese are some true Sox fans at the game. Keep cheering loudly fans. Cmon lineup!

Super job by Gav and the fans. Folks Freddie's lobbing it in there; hope our guys get the timing down before they yank him. Cmon Sox! Good job Gavin.

Coop needs to go out there; Gavin is f***ing up a bit. He's falling all over. Wild.

Gavin is sort of wild; Tigers have helped us out a bit. Trouble?

I would encourage all of you to email Oz as I am telling him that's stupid. Feel free to fly out of O'Hare or Midway. True Sox fans don't blame him or if they blame him don't want to yell at him in person. They blame the injury gods and the baseball gods. Just ask Mets fans how s*** happens in this damn lovable sport.

Man up, gavin and get it to danks on Tuesday. Employees are supposed to make their bosses look good. Cmon Gavin. Do a job!

I'm spent as well. This is wild stuff. Bedtime for bonzo.

It would be a tough loss vs. last place team that isn't that bad but underachieved and will be w/out starting shortstop tomorrow. Cabrera and Sheff and Freddy could beat us triple handedly. Think if we win how exciting Tuesday would be. My gosh. Just get it done and bring on the damn drama!!

If we can't beat the Tigers in our home stadium when they are in last place and having a bad month we don't deserve to move on. It's in the Cell and we have much to play for and they nothing. I know it's baseball and anything can happen as we found out this past 2 weeks. But if we can 't beat the Tigers of this year, we deserve to sit home or in Oz's case flee. Did you read he's planned his getaway in case we lose. He doesn't want to see dejected fans at Midway or O'Hare so he's thinking about a private plane or driving to Milw. to get out.

No. The weird hex continues. Oz blasts Javy for not ever winning a big game and Javy predictably loses 2 big games in a week that kill us. Now we face "Big Game" Freddy. He thrives on this stage. We got problems unless Jimmy or Griffey go deep 2 times. p.s. Remember Tinker to Evans to Chance? Tomorrow it's gotta be Floyd to Thornton to Jenks.

I'm being bipolar again. My question to you ... Is Mark the only reason we won today? Since somebody not named Mark Buehrle is pitching tomorrow are we doomed to another blowout loss? If not, why not? Go Sox please win us a game!!

Let him demand a trade. Steve Swisher's kid did not have a good season. He can salvage it tomorrow by blasting 3 home runs.

Now if we can just get there. One win gets us to Tuesday.

Oh s*** ... Selfish Sheff is gonna be bombing for the fences. This is really not good news. This Freddie thing is also not good. Oz has already texted him. Freddie is gonna want blood.

How can you not love Oz or continue to love Oz win or lose tomorrow after this story? The reason I love him is he "gets it." By Mark Gonzales Chicago Tribune (MCT) CHICAGO — The message on the clubhouse bulletin board summed up the White Sox’s mission: “(Forget) feelings. It’s about winning!!!!” After a week in which Nick Swisher acknowledged his disappointment over being benched, Orlando Cabrera irked some teammates and Javier Vazquez swore at catcher A.J. Pierzynski, the Sox were reminded of their mission before Sunday’s 5-1 victory over Cleveland, which kept their postseason hopes alive. “I don’t care about (players’ feelings),” manager Ozzie Guillen said before the game. “They don’t care about mine. I never heard any player come to me and say, ’How are you feeling today?’ Only my wife told me this morning, ’How do you feel?’ I feel fine.” Guillen emphasized it would be a long and bitter off-season if the Sox failed to make the playoffs. “The only way we’re going to feel good about this, the only way we might not hate each other in the off-season, is we win,” Guillen said. “That’s it. It’s going to take a little while to get over this one if we don’t go where we’re supposed to go. “It’s not going to be easy for me to get over it if we don’t do what we’re supposed to do.” One player believed Vazquez’s cursing was good, simply because the players saw angry emotions they had never witnessed from him. It showed the mild-mannered pitcher cares. Meanwhile, Guillen estimated he got along with his players about 70 percent of the time. “That’s pretty good,” he said. “But the feelings we have for them, it’s different when it’s on the field and off the field. When it’s on the field, I have a job. Off the field, I love them to death. “But on the field I’m the manager ... and some players maybe like it and some players maybe don’t. But that’s why I’m their manager, to make decisions. I might make the wrong one, but the one I make has to be respected.”

Yep. p.s. Tony why don't you consider put a pic of a hot chick in your photo box in place of the dude?

My point is why would they even think of throwing in tix for a POSSIBLE playoff.

Interesting. They cover all bases (pun intended) and put in a one-game playoff in the ticket package? Wow.

I hear you, but Floyd is going to have to suck it up if we want to see Tuesday. Your lineup of pitchers on paper is fine; in reality it is a blowout loss. If Floyd only goes four, that means 5 runs. Carrasco will give up at least 2 in two innings probably more, that's seven. I'll say we get the good Dotel and no runs; bad Dotel is 2-3. But I'll say none. Linebrink has been horrible, 2 more runs. So that's nine runs and Jenks doesn't need to pitch. My hope and I pray for (I realize Floyd probably won't do the job but I can hope). Floyd 7 innings, 3 runs. Thornton no runs. Bobby no runs and a nice 7-3 win.

Are you being serious?? With all due respect if he goes 4 innings we are 12-2 losers. Our recipe for automatic losses has been pitching several of these bullpen hacks. The only way we are going to win tomorrow and/or Tuesday is today's victory formula, with hopefully a few more clutch hits. If we don't get the traditional quality start, better than a quality start, we are doomed. The only relievers who have a chance vs. Detroit are Thornton, Jenks and Dotel (pray we get the good Dotel). If Oz uses MacDougal, Ramirez or Carrasco I wonder if fans will storm the field and carry MacDougal, Ramirez and Carrasco back to the dugout.

That's true. But I think in the minds of the people that know the team well (us on here) we realize it has been an epic collapse. The only thing that saves my sanity is the fact the injury to CQ truly was a killer. We predictably died without our MVP.

I'm glad we get to play the Detroit makeup. Predictably the Twins finally beat KC today. Cmon Sox, get us to Tuesday. One at a time, baby. Gotta play good baseball. The Tigers have to make the trip; they are going to figure they might as well win it.
