I'm not panicking. I'm actually glad we will have suffered a losing streak this season. We've gotta face some adversity. We do have some weaknesses but if we don't have dead arms and can be healthy we have as good a chance as anybody. That's big ifs, though. We may be pretty banged up.

I still say we can win it with pitching and defense. 1959 revisited, baby.

I just want us to play good ball. We must play good ball or we are screwed in the postseason. I know ... how simplistic and dumb. I only care about our team. I want us to stay sharp, play good baseball. We're only going to go as far as our pitching and D takes us. Our lineup is spotty folks.

We're 30 games over .500 and Paullie as usual is a big reason. I like Paulie and congratulate him on a great career and year (as if he reads this).

I agree with kollapse. We don't know what goes on in the locker room and if the players and Oz think Paulie is the captain he's the captain. Paulie can't help it if he's slow. He's still a damn good player. Maggs would look good in our lineup about now.

This "who cares" attitude needs to stop. Our postseason position is not guaranteed. Before you know it, we'll be saying "oh well" when our lead is trimmed to 8 games. Then 5 games. We need improvements on this club immediately. This offense is terrible. Can't score in 9 innings off Minnesotas bullpen how do you expect to fare off Anaheim's? Or Oaklands? -- What can we do Tizzle? We're in a skid. But I ain't jumping ship. GO SOX!

sorry for da double post

Oh well. We're still 11 games up and our first 4 game losing streak comes in mid August. Good perspective. We're also banged up a bit. I just don't like losing streaks including our home field. If we're gonna drop 8 in a row, do it on da road.

You tell em Hawk. Mariotti does enough ripping on his own. Who cares if it was't fair? Mariotti hasn't been fair at times in the past.

Adkins does blow. We is in a little bit of a slump. Yikes.

I don't. I was obviously wrong. We have no one who can shut them down. Our pitching is overrated. Probably because of the poor offenses we faced in our own division. It's obvious our pitching isn't as good as advertised. All I know is that come playoff time, I wouldn't bet on a White Sox advancement. --Why the pessimism? We still have the best record in baseball. We had enough trouble against the poor offenses in our division the past few years when we COULDNT WIN OUR DIVISION. I wouldn't bet much on a White Sox advancement in the playoffs either because anything can happen. I do think we can reach the Series, however. I really do.

I'd take Mark B over Santana every day of the week times two.

Isn't our pitching atop all of baseball? We've got very good pitching. Our lineup has been good enough though it should not strike fear in the hearts of anybody. We're a good team. We're not lucky. WE're good.

No I'll be discussing how Jon Garland has become the real ace of this team Good for Jon. I'm happy for Jon if he is indeed our ace. But so what? Mark B has been a stud for this team and had a bad night in a hitters ballpark. Big frickin deal. In the big picture of things he's been awesome this year!

Great article. I like Joe and Mark B, our two Missouri boys. We'll have to see how Joe plays in his first postseason. If he can hit .270 somehow this year and have a big postseason, he may be a White Sox favorite a long time. If he goes hitless in the postseason and finishes at .245, some may want his head on a platter. I like Joe.

If that's true, that's stupid on Griffey's part. He doesn't want to play in the playoffs. Amazing.

For some reason I expect we'll offer him a "fair" deal and he'll accept and finish his career here. Reinsdorf isn't going to let Frank play elsewhere if he's healthy enough to play.

Do we want to pick up Aaron Sele? Just asking.

As I recall Frank was pretty lovable when he first came up as many players are. He was on his way to be Ernie Banks, but then he got famous and somewhat crabby with the writers, etc. Remember all the times he wouldn't talk for a month or so then be real gracious and talk again. I think he's still been better personality wise than many stars of his ilk. The one thing the writer didn't mention that he probably should have ... I don't think Thomas cares one iota he doesn't "own" Chicago. Harry, Ditka, Ernie cared.

Dumbass Caballo away -- Dumbass leads the NL in RBIs or is close. He's a damn good player. It's one of those rare trades that helped both teams a lot. That said Pos. is in quite the slump now isn't he?

You are right Los Medias. Gload is a big leaguer. He should be with a parent club.

AJ has been awesome! As far as his personality, didn't Oz have a great quote on TV or the papers teasing him a few weeks ago calling him a big baby or something? I hope we win it all this year for many reasons, but one is it would guarantee Oz a long stay on the south side.

Poor Willie. Is he another Corey Patterson? Washed up? Willie is gonna go the way of Royce Clayton.

D'Angelo Jiminez cause I liked what you had in parenthesis. Worthless baseball player! correct and made me smile. good line.
