Good question to ponder. It certainly didn't work out tonight. In the year of the Sox homer, I wouldn't have been surprised if ARow knocked one out to win it like last night. His bunt was pathetic. Not bagging on AR, he is allowed some mistakes with the year he's had. That bunt sucked. It sure seems like we're worse than a .500 team.

Jim is da man. I like Jim's posts.

Hawk are you pulling our legs with your post? Is it supposed to be in green? No offense, but that post is silly. 90 plus wins? Care to wager a few thousand dollars?

Great season by AR; but bad bunt by AR. Bad call by Oz in the year of the Sox homer. Next year when we play "Oz ball" maybe. Not this year. AR predictably popped it up. This again proves Crede's homer last night was not simply a blast against a "bad team." We've had our troubles against "bad teams" like KC. Any win is a good win for our Sox.

Please go to the Cubs, Maggs, if you don't come back to the Sox. Stick it up Dork's butt and KW's.

your kidding right thomas, belle and mags all have hit more homers than him, ill take it you are a new sox fan? but i agree i dont want to trade him. plus i really think the sox would have won had it not been for mags and thomas getting hurt, showiser didnt help either. --Howdy. Actually I just took a guess. I figured 40 was enough to be single season leader. I got punked on that guess. I didn't know Belle whacked that many. I hated Al Belle. I like Paulie.

All I can say after reading that is "Screw you, Kenny Williams."

You really think it's too little too late? I do not think Crede is as bad as Timo. I think Crede has hope.

"What I read in the paper is not fair. I don't understand where it's coming from,'' Ordonez said Wednesday afternoon. "I'm healthy. I'm going to be 100 percent by spring training. I don't know why they're saying I won't be.'' I feel for Maggs. Our organization is a fxxxing joke. I just read the column and it pisses me off so much that we have such a clown for a GM. KW makes some absurd quote about no flow of blood to the bone, then one day later, after Maggs' comments backs off. Just tell us the obvious truth, KW. The Sox will never pay to have a World Series team on paper. The only way we will ever win a Series will be by pure, blind luck. 95 percent of the opening day roster having career years by sure luck. Magglio deserves way better. I really wish the Cubs would take him if we don't want him. I want to see him stick it up Dork's ass and KW's ass and do it here in Chicago.

You're entitled to your opinion, but one good night against a pretty bad KC team doesn't change my opinion of him overall. I still don't believe that he's the answer at 3B. Good point about it being a crap KC team, but excelling against any team in our division is good, cause this year we've sucked against so called bad teams. I respect your opinion. Joe certainly has sucked during a majority of games. If it is true he's uncoachable and too stubborn then let him go, I guess. But if that is not true, I think he'd be suitable at 3B and we could try to strengthen some other positions. For instance I would much rather have Joe at third than keep our current situation at catcher and rf minus Maggs.

I think we are a way worse organization now than started the season. Contreras looks no more consistently reliable than Jon. We got no middle relief where we thought we'd be OK there. We got no catcher when we had one in Olivo. We now have a big hole at ss cause Jose appears finished. We still got nobody at 2B to replace Ray Ray's days, assuming Uribe is new ss. I don't believe Willie is the answer. We got no Maggs and will have to weaken our team to acquire a suitable replacement via trade since Dork won't sign anybody. We remain very slow on the basepaths. Our best hitter, Paulie, appears to be underrated by everybody and subject of inexplicable trade rumors even though he has more homers than any player in a single season in Sox history. I say bring in Pudge Fisk as the replacement for Harold as bench coach. Pudge will kick some ass.

I like you guys, but to blast him after that home run is shallow I believe. He's had some critical hits this year. I say keep him.

I say we keep him. Way too much potential. Way to go, Joe. I ain't gonna criticize you tonight. Nice at bats, nice blast to rf for the homer after Jamie Burke failed miserably before you. Upgrade at catcher, KEEP JOE CREDE!

I like Ben Davis, but like the story said, he hasn't done squat the past 20 games at the plate. His past says he can't hit.

How about trading for Reed, Olivo and Foulke.

Trading Reed was such a bad idea. KW should be fired just because of this start Reed has gotten off to.

I don't think Oz was overrated. Oz was damn good.

Good replies. I won't stress over Willie bein' Willie.

In today's Daily Herald: Willie Harris might not be at the top of the list, but he unquestionably has been one of the White Sox' most disappointing players this season. Just ask him. "I didn't have a Willie Harris year,'' Harris said. "Defensively, I've been terrific. Outstanding year. Offensively, I've struggled a little here and there. I did well at some points, but then I'd hit a slump and didn't play well. That's my fault.'' --I like Willie's personality, I do. But ... Willie doesn't deserve to refer to his performance as not being "a Willie Harris year." What the heck is a Willie Harris year? .250 at best? Bad instincts on bases. Good fielding. Defensively, I've been terrific? Modesty Willie is the best policy. I like Willie's enthusiasm, but I think these quotes were dumb.

I sure hope we get rid of this guy, King Carl. Do any of you really truly look forward to him starting for us next season? I don't see why we would consider bringing him back. If he's out of shape now and admits it, he's been stealing Dork's money. Why give him a chance to loaf some more again next year? Jose V. may be having a bad year, but at least he's not stealing money by being out of shape. LET CARL GO!

I can't believe you'd bag on Jose V that way. George Bell is the perfect answer! Any clown who complains during the playoffs about playing time ... geez, maybe our organization is jinxed. The bastard complains about playing time during the fricking playoffs. No Sox fan should ever forgive him for that crap.

Jose has always been one of my favorite players. He has had an awful year...but he always busts his ass, he rarely complains, he is a team leader, and he's a great person. I hope that once he retires, he is brought back as a coach. I honestly feel he would be a very gifted coach. --I fifth the notion. Classy post and I agree with you 100 percent.

Great point about Koos and Lamp! And you did indeed pick two of the worst players in Sox history to mention Nyls Nyman and Kevin Bell. Boy did they stink.

I really like Mags, but he made it a business by wanting so much, and now he screwed himself over. That's life. Its not like he didn't make $14 million this year. --I hear you but he didn't do anything that most all players do. All guys of Maggs' stature play the final year of a contract and wait for the big bucks of Yankeedom in the offseason. I feel sorry for Maggs also. Very sorry for this class act. But as far as the monetary aspects of this, I can't imagine any team giving him more than a one–year deal for way way way less money than he was expecting, considering the uncertainty.

Hope you guys and girls are right about Juan Uribe. This is a serious question cause I haven't seen a lot of games on TV, unfortunately. Is he a great fielder? I know about his hitting. Does he have good range? Does he make the routine play? Does he have a strong arm? When the ball is hit to him at ss do you feel it's an automatic out or does he have Alan Bannister disease? Please fill me in. thanx.
