Our crowd sucks tonight; it's like they are expecting us to lose. That Paulie homer should have ignited the place as hot as Paulie has been. He deserved some major love after that HR.

Mark's got nothin tonight; it's bullpen time which is not good.

Lets all agree on one thing: we hope mark can settle down for 2-3 more innings. WE need this win with Cleveland never losing.

What stats do you want me to look up?? If you think Buehrle sucks you have a problem.

Glad to hear our fans call for a Paulie curtain call as weak as it was. Our crowd should be GOING WILD right now and it's dead! Get up fans.

Way to go Paulie. You are WAY underrated in my book!

Buehrle is not an ace. He dominates mediocre teams, but gets hammered by good ones. Bulls***. He's been one of the best pitchers in baseball the last many seasons.

If we can't win wearing the greens maybe it aint meant to be.

Cleveland is so good it's scary. KEEP HITTING SOX!!

Marte, praying he handcuffs somebody with that big curve and heater. Viz sucks.

I think we are making a big mistake not riding his hot streak and continuing to start him. Hope I'm wrong.

Good thing we had a good week (winning some games that coulda gone either way!) cause the Tribe keeps winnin and winnin and winnin. If they don't stop winnin, I'm gonna be whining!

Crede, baby, Crede. He's a better player IMO.

Guys, don't get mad. I think the players realize there is a hard core group of special Sox fans like the ones who posted on here about having no money, etc. It is sad and sick that in a city as big as Chicago we only have a core group of hearty fans. You'd think we'd pick up 15,000 a night SPORTS fans just wanting to attend a game in a special season. But we don't. I can understand their frustration. We have one of the best records going in team history and the crowds "currently" suck whereas they are great every night in Boston, at Wrigley, etc. I understand their pain. I don't think this is a slam at folks like the ones on here who have gone to 15-30 games this summer. It's just in general. The greatest sports city in the country can't draw 35,000 a night for a special team. Don't your feel their pain? p.s. I do feel for the guy on here who said his mama can't afford to get out because of gas prices. That does suck! Big time! Gimme her address and I'll buy her two Sox tickets and mail to her address!

i'm not mad at cotts, either; i was just backing my boy, marte.

exactly, fathom. that's exactly how i feel.

good point fathom, at least i hope the players moaning doesn't somehow cause a funk. I wish Cleveland would lose a few f***ing games. I'm not afraid they will overtake us or anything but their excellence is pissing me off

There is the squeeze and a two run lead, now we are done. --If we are done without a fight at home against one of the worst teams in baseball history, we got problems. We aint done yet.

Blah...this game seems to be sliding away. I want to be careful with what I say, but ever since I saw that s*** in the paper about the attendance, I had a terrible feeling that we might be due for a slump. It's one of those things where the players should have just stayed quiet and "stay the path". I disagree. The players spoke out which shows balls and competitiveness. I don't think they will tank because of mere statements. That would make them wimps.

Hmmm if this was Marte again there would be mutiny on here.

Tough call. It's why Oz and KW get the big bucks. I sure hope the 2 ex Yanks come through in the playoffs and/or Series. I'd almost rather have McCarthy starting and continuing his hot sizz.

IMO, The number one obstacle standing in the way of the Sox and their first trip to the World Series in 473240464604 years is Ozzie. Good God. Perhaps Ozzie is a reason we are 40 games over 500 and maybe getting in the playoffs for once. We haven't done it with our other skippers of late. We may not make the Series, but it won't be because of MANAGER OF THE YEAR Guillen. Who do you want managing this team? Bevington? Lamont? Buddah?

Just saw a replay of the game after Marte plunked Stairs. Looks like Ozzie really let him have it. Seems like he is trying to get Marte to grow some balls and pitch to lefties better again. See, this is why I love Ozzie. His personality is why we are so many games over .500. It's easy to second guess moves. He manages the guys KW gives him. If KW doesn't want Marte in the game, get rid of Marte. I personally dislike Viz the most of our pen. Marte has talent; he's just sucking.

You guys are acting like he brought in Viz, who truly is a stiff. Marte has talent. That wicked curve ball. It ain't Oz's fault he must be a headcast beaning two straight guys.

Why is it little league managing? If Marte is horses*** get rid of him. It's the GM's job, not Ozzie's.
