QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 02:48 AM) It would be nice for Peavy to step up and win a big game once though in a Sox jersey. He's done nothing to change the perception he has of being a terrible "big game pitcher". He is what he is. A decent pitcher. I can't believe how high his pitch counts go sometimes in a minimal amount of innings.

Sox still breathing if there's any life in the offense. Down 3 with six outs to go. Got to get somebody on base before anybody can get excited though. That's been darn near impossible to do vs. Cy Fister.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 02:31 AM) Then don't bring your doom and gloom nonsense QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 02:39 AM) Oh don't pull this s*** out now. Shack, you need to relax. This is turning into an easy Tiger victory. With Floyd going tomorrow and Verlander the next game and our history vs. Detroit, 1 of 4 looks likely.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 02:24 AM) Go away No. If you had said please I would have considered it. This is a huge game.

Just came back from late dinner and we're losing. Great. This is a key half inning. Cmon. We are the home team. Battle back in the 7th and take the f***ing lead. I think it's safe to say if we lose tonight, my prediction of one win, three losses this series looks right on track. Gavin tomorrow; then Verlander?? Yikes. WE MUST WIN THIS GAME.

Tank needs to start roping some doubles.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 01:32 AM) What happened to all the guys who were upset when Wise got the call over Danks? Not me. Not me. Now I want them to put that Wise drawing back on the outfield wall. One half of the drawing is back with the Sox.

One home run down; we need two more tonight, but it'd be nice to have two men on base again for at least one of the next two.

It seems like a lot of players like Wise love being on the White Sox. Remember that era where nobody wanted to play in Chicago? I'm surprised players like Mark B and others don't give the Sox just a tiny discount in wanting to remain in Chicago. I'd think Youk would be the same way. Why go play in New York or Boston or Philly where they will boo your ass? Stay in Chicago for a million or two less. Even Peavy seems to like it in the Windy City.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 01:24 AM) Johnson is worse. Dewayne Wise is a stud. My god. 1-0. This guy was born to be a White Sox. He should never have been let go. This man is a player!

Woulda been nice to see a bunt hit there ... or a triple. One out.

All right, Jake! Man it'd be nice to have the home run bats humming again tonight. Get some men on base tonight, then BOOM! Just do it.

Isn't it amazing how much Dewayne Wise has played for the Sox? He's played in every game hasn't he since he was acquired?

Our pitchers start so slowly. It's weird.

These teachers are coming across as selfish pricks nationally. That is all.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 09:09 PM) Stop playing Viciedo against a righty! Does Viciedo ever get on a tear anymore? Beckham has continued his pattern of getting hot once in a while. It seems Dayan has settled into being a fairly lousy hitter who hits the occasional home run. He's got a lot of work to do. I wonder if he'd agree to play winter ball and actually take some coaching on how to be less maniacal at the plate.

I have no idea how I found Soxtalk. I know I didn't google "white sox message board" or anything. And none of my Sox friends are interested in message boards. Thanks for providing this service. I know it was great to be on here when we won it all in 2005. I remember watching the games and reading it at the same time. I don't even know if there were game threads back then. I've only been banned once for 2 weeks. I forget what I did to get banned, but it wasn't Ozzie related I don't think. Thanks to the owners for Soxtalk.com.

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 04:21 AM) Alright now its getting ridiculous, on my way to class there were redshirts walking on to irving park trying to disrupt traffic while holding up their signs and banging on drums. Is this really how we're going to act now? Some professionals they are. that'll get them arrested. idiots.

QUOTE (Real @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 05:27 AM) 97.1 The Ticket (Detroit Sports Station) called last nights game a must-win, so it's not just the fans, the whole town including sports media are freaking out Our fans are the same, me included. If Detroit wins the next three, their fans will be all happy and ours will be mad/worried/furious/etc.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 05:39 AM) Better back up that talk with some hits in RISP. That's what I was thinking. They simply can't score runners except when they bash home runs.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 03:14 AM) They looked exactly like the team they were facing the 1st 4 innings. Exactly. Sox looked good cause a few players decided to bash home runs. We NEED MORE HOME RUNS the next 3 nights.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 03:09 AM) Reed was wasted tonight. It can't hurt that he breezed through the ninth. Closing is confidence as much as anything else. Like somebody said, Crain and Thornton were unavailable and nobody wants Myers in there with that contract thing hanging over the Sox heads. I'm glad Reed pitched.

QUOTE (Cali @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 03:05 AM) Holy crap an Addison Reed 1-2-3 inning! Sox need to take advantage of this momentum! And Beckham with a clutch home run with two strikes on him. Man, could those 2 things be good signs of things to come? Great job by Q, who looked horrible early, plus Rios, of course, AJ and Beckham. Good things come to the Sox when they hit bombs and get a starter to pitch deep into the game. I hate when Robin has to start mixing and matching relievers in the sixth or with nobody out in the seventh.

6-to-1 win. Excellent. Stoney is summarizing the win beautifully. Lotta home runs and good starting pitching is the Sox victory formula.

If Reed is rested, I'd use him. We may need him in other games this series.
