Oz may make mistakes but this team has no business having the record it has! Oz is manager of the year, folks.

Yeah, Ozzie really blew that shutout. Take a chill pill!! We are 36 over .500

You dont put the winning run on second base. You pitch to him!!!

How does he mismanage the pen every night? He uses the guys on the roster. Blame Kenny.

If Marte can't pitch to lefties then we should release him now. Can Dustin do the job?

Why do you blame Ozzie? It's Marte who f***ed up. He can't pitch to the fricking Royals??? Throw it over the plate you bum.

Where's the option ... I've got all the money I need now and I could give a flip about the White Sox.

oops sorry for the double postage

Way to go, Dustin. I love the way we can play s***ty after Widger gets thrown out at home on the hit, yet we still pick up one run the rest of the way and it's enough to hang on and beat the crummy Royals. It's just like when we were hot ... automatic victories. I can't say enough times ... shove it up your butt those in the media and on talk shows who kept bringing up the 69 Cubs.

Thome really really sucked this year and looked like he's hit the brick wall in his career prior to his going on DL. If Paulie got hurt right now, right now, I would give us no chance of winning a playoff series. Our lineup would be devastated. We can't afford to lose Maggs, Lee, Frank and Paulie in a 2-year span. We will not be fine without this guy.

Paulie has 34 home runs.

We definitely needed this surge from Juan. Like you all said, when he's spraying the ball around and hitting like this, we are not nearly as anemic an order. He's been just what the dr. ordered to borrow a cliche.

Great post, guys. I logged on here wanting to make the exact post, saying we Sox fans shouldn't give Mariotti a free ride on this one. He wrote flat out that Cleveland has a better team than the White Sox. He can't take that one back. Like you said, Rowand, he's preparing the Sox will win Series column. Then if we lose 3 in a row and Cleve wins three in a row, it's back to choke time. He's an entertaining columnist but at least we see through him that he is knee jerk with no perspective on the big picture. Gee, maybe Pods was important to the lineup and/or morale. Gee, maybe we hit our first slump of the season. Good win today, SOX!

I kind of like Gload compared to some of our other bench guys.

Great post, DBAHO. Loved your analysis. I didn't realize Randa was reeking that much. Nice perspective, buddy. Loved that post.

No; a team 30+ games over .500 should be able to beat a team that came into the series 15 games back and was consistently sub-mediocre. That's not news. The other way around certainly is. That's a crummy way to look at our sweep. Good job, SOX!

Man ... like you all say, if Juan can hit, geez it helps our lineup. Go SOX!

It's safe to say Scotty, not the equally cool Iggy, is really our team MVP. Keep it going, Sox ... and start losing, Tribe.

It sure is fun when the guys are spraying the ball all over the field like that as well as ripping a couple over the fence.

Why is Maggs classless. I love the Sox but if you believe our management hasn't pulled a lot of s*** in the past in negotiations with players you are wrong. Steff what's the deal with Maggs. Was he a jerk or not?

Hope it was unintentional. No reason to bean him in a total blowout. Why wake up the Tigers for the next 3 games? I'm sure it's gonna become a big deal in the press.

He has not had a hit in 9 of his last 12 games and entering tonight was 6 for his last 34 over 10 games. You thinking of the same Blum? I have nothing against the guy except he hasn't hit for us.

If the Sox win the division handily and Cleveland has a so so to s*** September, Mariotti should always be reminded of his comment that Cleve. has a better team than the Sox. If Cleveland proves him right, I'll give him my praise. Otherwise ... what a loser.

This man is certifiably insane!!!! With this line At the risk of being called an ax murderer by Hawk Harrelson, I'll go so far to acknowledge the Indians are a better club than the Sox Give me a xxxkxkxxkxkx break! That is bulls***. Mariotti realizes sports fans have short memories (except we astute Sox fans). Check out his column when we were at our best. He pretty much said this was the magical year, on and on, World Series bound. Now he has a chance to do what he does best again, rip and question. He's talented and has it made because he doesnt have to have any perspective in his writings. He just overreacts to what is going on on a particular day.

I'd rather have Gload and Anderson in the game than Blum (thanks for really sparking us Mr. Blum, you've been not so good) and Timo. Geez I don't like Timo much and Ozuna doesn't do much for me either.
