We are not going to sweep the Royals. Case closed there.

Did you really expect to sweep Tampa Bay? With our inconsistent team? Our bullpen sucked, including the great Brandon McCarthy who will get a free pass from critics cause Ozzie has misued him so much. Just get the job done. And we blow the lead with four outs to go? We're just not that good. And by the way, we would have won the game had Thome been able to play today for all the Thome haters.

Scotty certainly sucked tonight but wasn't he pretty good in Game One of the series? Since we can't upgrade right now, wouldn't you agree we need a big September out of him if we hope to make the playoffs? You've got to admit; the games he's played well (and he's had some of those) we usually win or score a heck of a lot of runs. I think we've got to play him almost every day because the alternative right now sucks.

Why do people have to use Judy in every thread about Garland. The guy is 16-4.

He's so good it's amazing. He steals second in that key situation? Wow. Good job, Mr. Dye. You are MVP.

I just read this post. I can't believe how tired the fire Oz stuff has become. My god, he won the World Series last year, people. Do you realize how insane the idea of firing Ozzie is? That said ... if he is miserable here I hope he quits and takes a job with a team he cares less about. There is no doubt nobody wants the White Sox to win more than Ozzie.

I didn't get to watch it. Did Cora send a guy again who got thrown out by a mile? I agree he should be demoted now if that's the case ... again. I mean we all want runners to score on hits but geez our team has a bunch of plodders. Hold 'em at third.

Brian is a likeable player cause of his defense. Don't you all agree we could use an upgrade, though, at ss next year? Of course Juan could get hot in the postseason if we make it that far and emerge as a hero again, but as of now, he's a bit annoying with his average THAT low I think.

Yeah but the Cubs draw every year. We don't. Any true Sox fan knows we've had attendance problems in the past. Not this year. Is it just me or do we almost always win the rare days Scott Pods has a big game? If he had a big September, it sure would help our cause.

Me too.

I have to go by what Steff said the other day. The Internet fan is way more demoralizing than those at the Cell. We have not had booing. Or not much of it. Ozzie doesn't get booed or death threats. Yes I can support this team if it doesn't win another world series for the next 10 years. 20 years. 30 years. I am a Sox fan.

I can't believe after last year anybody would want Oz gone so quickly. That is so f***ing ridiculous I can't beliieve it. We won the f***ing World series. You think we would have won it with ANYBODY but Oz? Give me a break. I mean criticism is fine. But this team's pitching has been HORSEs*** Is that Oz's fault??? If you want Oz gone, fine, bring in Piniella or LaRussa when he gets fired after this season. I wish Oz well as he manages the next 25 years in some other city. He'll win several World Series. s***, he's already won 2. Ozzie Guillen is not a good, but a GREAT manager.

Yes I do agree on that. I do agree. But I can see why Oz doesn't want to play BA everyday. I have a feeling a lot of decisions are made by committee, KW and Oz. I do agree it is demoralizing to see Mack have no clue in cf. I just wish Brian had not been an automatic out so long for Oz to not believe he is an everyday player. That's why I moaned about the loss of Rowand so much. I know Rowand isn't perfect but BA definitely wasn't ready for everyday prime time and we have no backup.

I respect your 25 years as a fan but these are the statements I don't understand. We have had some real horses*** seasons. Our team has faced adversity. There is a slight chance we might get our act together and have a nice September and make the playoffs. In 25 years we have been out of it in June. This has been very disappointing to me also, frustrating too. But the team TRIED tonight; it rallied. It just f***ing lost again like it is doing on a regular basis. s*** happens.

Because, Willie Harris, Brian Anderson is no Mickey Mantle. Brian Anderson is a nice defensive player. Brian Anderson is an average ballplayer. He likes Mack. KW is the one who acquired Mack, not Ozzie. I respect all your opinions, but I do not share the Brian ANderson love. I do not like Mack much either but geez, BA is not an everyday player. If he was he'd be hitting about .180. I think our roster was much better a year ago.

I beg to differ. Ozzie Guillen is a great great great manager and leader of men.

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.

Guillen did a great job and the Sox won the World Series as a true team. You offend me, pal. I hope you are banned.

Please ban this racist.

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?

There should be an outcry to get rid of Cora. Everybody else I think is decent enough on the coaching staff including the Wizard of Oz.

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.

Good point about the Braves always finding a way into the playoffs. One year will be disappointing if we don't get back in. But it's understandable the way our pitching has gone to s***.

The Twins will be so loose tomorrow. I thoroughly expect a sweep. That said, they are pitching a hack so maybe we'll erupt. The weird thing for me tonight, Dye hits that homer and it was so awesome but after Paulie popped out on the first pitch I had a sinking feeling we'd still lose. I'm not blaming him. It's impossible to expect back to back bombs, but it just seemed like we were destined to lose to those bastards just as last year we were destined to win all those postseason games. Horrible at bat by Paulie, but obviously I'm not blaming him. He did hit a dinger in the game. The Twins should not own us like this. They are not that good. Geezus.

Attendance has been awesome. Fans deserve an A for their support. An A plus really. The Twins have to be laughing their ass at us now, the way they own us. They don't own our fans, though. Great great year of attendance.
