QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 29, 2012 -> 09:21 PM) With all due respect, that's a silly post. AJ's played a lot of games in a row, and with a lefty on the mound, Flowers is a better option. I figure the veteran would want to go down fighting rather than sitting in the dugout as young Sale stunk.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 29, 2012 -> 09:21 PM) Gems from McCarver: The word "fatigue" has only entered the game of baseball in the last decade or so" "With the white sox power they can come back on any team. This is a good come from behind team" The fatigue thing is awesome. The pussification of America has infiltrated baseball for sure. Thanks for benching AJ today.

Not playing AJ today has to be the dumbest decision of all time, typical of our lay-down White Sox. There will be 6 months to rest pretty damn soon.

QUOTE (Joxer_Daly @ Sep 29, 2012 -> 09:13 PM) Has he been pulled? Yes he was absolutley horrible.

How can the Sox address this September suckiness in the offseason?

Sale not making it through four innings. The end of this season blows.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 29, 2012 -> 09:07 PM) I've made the decision it's probably more exciting (or at least entertaining) to cheer for the Twins' offense against Verlander than ours against Moore. And the thing is that Moore had 3-4 starts in a row where he hadn't gotten past the fourth inning, so it's not like he came into this game on any kind of roll at all. Par for the (Ryder Cup) course.

I wonder what the crowd is today.

I wish the Sox were in the wild card hunt.

It's unfair to make our lousy hitters hit in the shadows.

Ugh. The leadoff walk.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 29, 2012 -> 09:53 AM) You called Buehrle a bad baseball player. He was one of the three big acquisitions in the offseason. Reyes was still a top flight SS and Bell sucked. Buehrle is in the middle. Players is plural. You called Buehrle a bad baseball player. Buehrle >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ozzie Hey I'm not the best writer/expressor of opinion all the time. Mark is a god, small g. I love the guy. I wish he was on this Sox team. I personally think he's the best starting pitcher in Sox history. Modern Sox history at least.

QUOTE (My_Sox_Summer @ Sep 20, 2012 -> 10:47 PM) They wrote me back and said they had sent the info to their writer. It was up to the writers if they wanted to do it. So far I haven't heard from anyone. I am not doing this for publicity, but I thought it would be a good story for a Sox writer. It's probably a sign of the times, all the media layoffs. Your story is a great one but would take some work. I think if the Sox made the playoffs you'd get a lot of publicity. Everybody'd be clamoring for fan type stories and yours is a good one.

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 29, 2012 -> 02:04 PM) It seemed out of place for Bernstein to ask Stone about coming back, so maybe it was based on hearing something that happened the night before Hawk missed a game. I'm not a Stone fan, but I think he'd be more passable as an analyst if he was with a more conventional PBP guy. Hawk is doing the Hawk Show, and in his mind, you're lucky to have the opportunity to sit next to him for three hours every day. That's a great point about the Hawk Show. It is entertaining most of the time, but Stone might feel like he's too good a baseball analyst to be a puppet. I still think the next team should be Hawk/Ozzie if Oz gets the boot.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 29, 2012 -> 07:14 PM) The other site has far more members but they have a small % of posting. It like the Sox attendance. Probably a lot of casual fans or kids who grew up in the every one gets a trophy era who say "I don't post here because of the negativity". Grow a pair or find a Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood for the Sox website where everyone is special. This site is not as negative compared to others. A lot of us are negative, but what the heck? There's something again about this team that was not exactly loveable. A lot of things to like, though. It could be a lot worse.

I can't believe there's 5,000 members. It seems only about 20 people post. It makes your head spin. Do the quiet non posters recognize Greg's posting style? Do they they think I'm an idiot or a brilliant baseball mind? Why don't 1000 of the 5000 post more?

Brother Rice got ripped pretty good tonight by the Celtics. I tell ya I'm not crazy about the no huddle spread offense on the high school level. BR finally got pick sixed tonight and it cost 'em the game pretty much. This quarterback they got is OK. What's gonna happen when they have a blah quarterback? Rice's defense is sucking, too. I'm thinking this coach is stressing offense more than D cause it takes some precision to run the spread. Of course I'm just speculating on that, but Rice is pretty lousy this year on defense. The fans who ripped Nye for running too much might be begging for him to come back.

So are Hawk and Stone feuding or not? Somebody said they didn't talk to each other the first two innings? What's the real story?

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 27, 2012 -> 03:05 AM) I'm gonna keep posting this. Did Oz survive the crisis? Mark is a great pitcher; u know my feelings on him.

I was good luck as I was busy at work and couldn't watch Sox. I half watched the Brother Rice football game stinker. I think me not watching the Sox helped them win. If they somehow win the division, I'd praise the team forever after burying them. I'd admit I was a nonbeliever. I'll shut up now rather than say I don't think we can win it, etc. It's always nice to win a game.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 28, 2012 -> 10:53 PM) Does such a position exist? Is there an Applebee's there, or a team named the Royals? I would be glad to nominate you! Since Ozzie loves Spain, maybe he can keep going eastward. Just joking, Greg. Depression setting in with no Sox in the playoffs, Sooners and Hawkeyes sucking even worse than these last 10 days of putrid and depressing play. It's very depressing, upsetting, sad. I just don't understand how the Sox can suck in those 4 series with KC, yet despite all that, still maintain a 3-game lead at a very opportune date, then BOOM, as if on cue, they just completely go in the tank. It's like the Sox said, "Sorry guys, but you were right all along. We're just a .500 team; Detroit's way better and we're letting the Tigers in. See you next spring. Let's all hope there's no blizzards and freezing rain before we meet again."

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Sep 28, 2012 -> 08:50 PM) The Sox could be back in first place in about 27 hours. And I also could be named the president of Istanbul. This ship has sunk unfortunately.

I love Hawk but I bet it is not enjoyable to work with him. Too much ego and he sometimes gets in those bad moods where he treats Stoney s***ty. Stoney was really good last night w/out Hawk in the booth. I truly love Hawk but he needs a new partner every couple years. My choice OZZIE!!!!! Ozzie is gonna get fired, so immediately hire him here.

Hitting, but the starters have really choked as well. We're not even getting six innings out of most of them, much less 7. Also the relievers have SUCKED. Thornton, Myers, even Veal has sucked during the choke spell. It's been a disgraceful stretch of 1-8 record I believe. Disgraceful.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 28, 2012 -> 09:37 PM) At the end of the day, I think the Sox biggest lead all year long was 3.5 games. Unless you lose it in the last four or so games of the season, it is hard to call it the biggest in history. I think it's very similar to the 69 or 67 white sox blowing the division by losing that doubleheader to KC. I'd love to see caufield or somebody go through and give us all the times the White Sox could have won to go up 4, 5, 6, 7 on Detroit but epically failed. This team may be beat up, but the guys are in the lineup and they choked so many times. I'd call it the biggest choke in Sox history.
