I really hate losing ANY game to the stinko Royals. I posted this last night and we rallied to win in extras.

It's like that with all managers and NFL coaches. That's why they need a thick skin and why they get paid a lot of dough. It's always been that way in sports. Everybody thinks they can do better than the manager/coach. It'll never change. Good managers realize that and don't stress about it.

It was a nice win, a big win considering the Royals had a big comeback win in their grasp if not for the big DP. Great win mainly because it would have been a really really bad loss. We really do need to own these guys like the Tigers do. Please, boys, do what it takes to sweep this series.

I wouldn't say Detroit "is starting to collapse a little." We are not out of it, but we're also not a lock to win anything, not even the wild card.

Oops, scrap my posts. I was an inning off! My bad.

Did I screw this up? It is the 10th inning isn't it?

Maybe Tito, but to me it seemed just like last night. Brandon pitched the eighth great and stayed the ninth and an uneventful save. Same for MacD tonight. Decent eighth probablly woulda mowed em down in the ninth for uneventful save. That said, if we can't beat KC we don't deserve whatever befalls us. We still can beat them in extras even though Mark deserved a win.

Unf***ing credible. I am absolutely shocked we got out of that inning tied. We need to take the Royals seriously and beat their ass now that it's extra innings. Wake up boys and win the game!!!

I don't know who to blame and I don't care. Thanks Thornton for a dandy save. Thanks Oz for not leaving in Mac Dougal like you did Brandon last night. Thanks for taking the Royals lightly and blowing opportunities and losing a game we needed to win.

I don't think Saturday had anything to do with Sunday. Our bullpen hasn't exactly been consistently good.

Give me a break. Putting in Bobby was a no brainer. For god sakes, he hasn't pitched that much before the O's series considering we've been losing every fishing game before that. Too bad he blew a save finally, but it's a no brainer to pitch him. Thornton probably would have spiff his pants and walked the bases loaded.

I don't know why many assume BMac would suddenly be way better than Vazzy. Can't you picture BMac going 5 strong innings like Vazzy and getting lit up in the sixth also? Garland sucked big time his first few seasons. Watching Bmac pitch this year I don't sense a ton of zeros on the board. Sounds like the deal where the first team quarterback is spiffty and the fans are calling for the unknown. Once he gets in, the backup isn't always the answer.

Damned if you do; damned if you don't. That's why I love Oz's public persona. He tells the world on a daily basis to fish off or basically if you want to fire me go ahead. Second guessing is the name of sports.

I agree it's Detroit's year; they are too good (this year). We will be unable to catch them. They've simply won too many games already. They may cool off but for them it will be 5-5 over a 10 game span. Good luck to them in the playoffs however. I predict Det. will lose first round. As far as the Sox ... nothing really would surprise me. I have a feeling our starting pitching is not going to come around this year. And I am not convinved Bmac is the solution, not this year. It's probably going to be a wasted year in his development. He probably should have stayed in the minors this year; maybe he woulda if Dustin was healthy. If I had to predict I'd say our experience is a plus, but pre trade deadline I don't like our chances to get the wild card. I will say we will not get the wild card and when the season is over we all will be pretty disappointed unless our pitchers surprise the spiff out of me.

I know it's not gonna happen now or ever ... but I want Suzuki on the Sox.

That's just what I was thinking. It's amazing how guys' bats can wake up all of a sudden. Five hits is a pretty amazing feat in the big leagues. Hope Oz lets him play again on Sunday, but I fear the dreaded day off for AJ.

You have got to be fishing spiffting me. The cusswords should be allowed this one time. My god, the guy is Paul Konerko, the heart and soul of the team. Give me a fishing break. ALL players go in slumps, including Paulie.

Would it have been a mracle if the O's hit the slam to erase our lead late? It was a big big hit and hopefully it'll put an end to the spiff streak we have been on. Maybe you aren't convinced but it's a start hopefully. It's better than another fishing loss.

I admit I gave up and left the thread. Come back after going out and see Gload hit the granny! Wow. A dull loss turns into what could be a big win! Good job Sox. Gload coming through is reminiscent of last year when a lot of guys did. Way to pick up the team Gload!!!! Go Sox.

We're dead meat. I am out. Prove me wrong, sox.

If we lose this game, it's gonna be hard to keep the faith. Admittedly it's a rough stretch and all, but enough is enough. We need to beat somebody, anybody.

and why is gload in? Is Paulie hurt?

why do we only have 2 runs thru six innings? pathetic.

I've believed in a lot worse White Sox teams than this one through the years. GO SOX!

If that is the case ... wow. The first crap stretch of his career and you got him finished. Tough crowd.
