QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 11:11 PM) We should handle Javy just like we handled El Duque down the stretch run. The minute he shows one crack, bmac comes in the game. He is the bridge to the back end of the pen. This I wouldn't mind seeing from now on. Kind of like Barcelowe (haw haw Barcelo + Lowe I am funny) when Manuel was managing. Vazcarthy sounds good to boot.

QUOTE(SoxHawk1980 @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 11:04 PM) Uh oh, message board threat!!! He knows the owner and admins! lol, just kidding But I do. I'm not trying to get him banned, I'm trying to make it as clear as possible that making dumb statements painting me as an Ozzie apologist and coupling them with insults isn't a good combination. I've been jumping down Ozzie's throat this year, but I believe he didn't manage the game to the effect where he cost us the game.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 11:00 PM) Well, that starts with our "catalyst", and he's busy sleepwalking in LF. I would love to see how this team can do in a series with Mack leading off in LF and Anderson in CF. You would think Ozzie would realize this by now, but...nah. Thankfully we won't see Pods playing tomorrow.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 10:59 PM) No, your not an idiot for not agreeing with me, your an idiot for defending our manager by saying one of the premier players in the AL hitting a 3 run homer off our 2nd worst relief pitcher is "luck". Keep with the insults, I mean it's not like I talk to the owner and admins every single day.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 10:53 PM) Your an idiot, I won't respond to idiots since they don't listen. Sorry. Yeah, I was once of the first members on this board, have poured hours into SoxTalk/FutureSox, and I'm an idiot for disagreeing with you. God forbid someone else thinks otherwise of you, the guy who believes the season is over with 30+ games left. Good job with the personal attack and the spelling too, duders.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 10:52 PM) So you would of went Cotts and his 8 ERA for August in first out of the pen, and then Riske over McCarthy. Hey thanks for putting words into my mouth. The use of Riske was fine, I never backed up Ozzie for putting in gas can Cotts to face Morneau. Riske should have been in to face Morneau, because if Javy gave up a two-run bomb to Morneau everyone on this board would mashed their keyboards into oblivion.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 10:47 PM) Fire Ozzie Guillen. You know what players choked? NOT OUR BEST ONES, BECAUSE THE MANAGER WON'T GIVE THEM A SHOT. The people that choked tonight were Cotts, Riske, Cora, Guillen, and Podsednik (in the 7th I believe it was). I refuse to blame Eminem since he got nickel dimed and has been great for us, but hell I'd have had Jenks in in that spot personally. Fire Ozzie. Did Ozzie dive across the plate for a ball clearly outside and poke a three-run homer for Minnesota? Did he hit the hanging slider from MacDougal when the best the Twins could do against Mac's fastball were bleeders back up the middle? Jesus, shut up already and credit this loss to absolute lack of luck.

QUOTE(SoxHawk1980 @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 10:45 PM) Now officially everything has gone wrong (at some point) with the Sox this season. The manager, coaches, position players, pitchers, GM all have contributed to the lackluster play and too many losses since the ASB. Now even a fan is helping to bury the Sox by making the last out. At least it is a complete team effort. Exactly. So what is Ozzie thinking by putting him into the game in an extremely important, close game situation? Does Ozzie think? I don't even know why I ask the question. Do you want to trot out MacDougal in the 6th? Ozzie was absolutely right in putting in Riske, and it was pure luck that Torii dove across the plate for a ball that was a good two-three inches outside and punched it into the seats.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 10:41 PM) Our season was just killed because our manager is an idiot. Tomorrow of course is a loss, then we'll be lucky to overcome the momentum on Sunday. I can't believe what I just saw. Good to know that our season is over because of one game. Now am I missing something or are there thirty-odd games left? You know, if you think the season is over, leave or relegate yourself to a thread dedicated to circlejerk pessimism.

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 10:38 PM) so, uh, we would have tied this game up without the fan interference? (i'm watching through gameday) No, Morneau would have caught it most likely.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 06:56 PM) Neal Cotts says hello. That problem is alleviated when McCarthy, you know, pitches more than once a week.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 06:50 PM) It would be a pitcher called up. Gload will play 1B, and PK will DH. No it won't. Tracey can't find anything right now, Logan isn't needed, and no one else deserves a promotion. Our offense has been sporatic at best, we need a hitter, strikeouts be damned.

Josh Fields, your plane is boarding.

QUOTE(SoxnGiants @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 06:43 PM) Way to take a walk Rob. And for the record - I think Mackowiak is a brutal CF'er but I don't blame him one bit for his struggles. He's a decent corner outfielder and infielder but is so misused by Ozzie it's not funny. I'm sure many feel the same way but at times I feel bad for getting pissed at Rob when he screws up. Rob actually took a good route on that flyball. Uribe should have used his brain and let Rob make the catch. Is it so hard for Ozzie to put this outfield out there day in and day out: LF- Mack CF - BA RF - Dye Sweeney is hitting leadoff for Charlotte, it's obvious Pods is gone at the end of the year (along with Freddy and Vaz, hopefully).

f*** you, Freddy, you're a piece of scum. I'd love to see decent baseball from my favorite team before I leave for Europe, but...nah.

4 IP, 8 H. Freddy Garcia: Big Game Pitcher. Piece of junk.

August stats: Cintron .225/.244/.325 Pierzynski .222/.250/.356 Podsednik .208/.250/.271 Ozuna .067/.067/.067 Say it with me, outs!

Well, at least we can see Grudzielanek attempt the cycle.

No worries, guys, today is just one of our 60 losses. Guys? Guys?

Post game happy fun time!

Maggpipes goes down, one left and the Tigers will be s***ting themselves.

Mack in LF. Ozzie's synapses are kind of working today.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 02:34 PM) We're only 3 weeks away from Sept. call-ups, so that might help our bullpen cover those innings. We'll probably just see Logan and Tracey be called up. Oddly enough, Logan has been almost unhittable lately. 17 IP 9 H 4 BB 27 SO

How MacDougal can throw a two-seamer that fast boggles my mind. 97 with movement, sheesh.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 08:16 PM) My post was more of a subtle insult directed towards our pitching prospects. But since Garza was practically destroyed ( 2.2IP, 8H, 7ER, 2 BB, 2 SO, 2 HR), I can't complain. It honestly shocks me to read his line. He must have been nervous as hell on the mound. He was trying to strike everyone out, and he kept elevating all of his offspeed pitches. He has good stuff, but it might take him another start or two to hone everything in.
