Whitewashed in '05

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 01:00 PM) This has all the makings of a bad decision by Cora. He has to get the opportunity first...

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 12:58 PM) Who, Crede or Walker? Crede.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 12:56 PM) I just hope to GOD we get there. Or else I'm going to have to shelf my Sox gear for awhile, stop listening to sports talk radio for a loooooong time, and change my name on XBOX live It's true, I mean all of us are huge sox fans that a bad day for the sox means a bad day for us, but if they don't make it, I am gonna try not to get happy about the next season after this let down.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 12:55 PM) Walker is absolutely clueless. The fact that Uribe needed outside help to change his swing shows that Walker is overmatched at the job. I'm pretty sure that Crede was the person who had to notice his own mechanical flaw in his swing when he was hurt. They said he was the one looking at tapes.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 12:54 PM) Who just laughed at Carl's swing? I know I did. I laugh at him when he steps to the plate...

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 12:52 PM) Trust us, 99 pct of us would be thrilled to just make the playoffs now, and see what happens. Yeah no s***, If we atleast make it I really won't mind losing in the first round, its not making it that would be a huge blow.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 12:46 PM) WTF!? WAS THAT!?! What???

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 12:41 PM) Yeah, that would be interesting. I honestly believe they're the best overall team in baseball, especially with Rolen out for the Cardinals. I won't argue with you there, if they make the playoffs they can be a serious contender, they are dangerous. Especially with their pitching SP's stepping it up big time right now and their offense coming alive. I mean when the hell did Elarton come from he is dominating right now, then Cliff Lee...I mean this guy went from decent to a Cy Young candidate?? Their insane right now.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 12:39 PM) Boston's losing big. Wouldn't that be funny if Cleveland got the AL's top spot. No... It's really sad what we sox fans have been put through so far. First we were happy to be the best in the majors then the league then happy to win the division and now the wild card?? It's just pitiful.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 12:34 PM) 3 high flyball outs. Lohse has absolutely nothing. Seriously, if you put Timo, Gload, Borchard, and Anderson into the game, they would give you just as good of a chance as our starting lineup does now. Everett should not be in there right now, he better be benched the next series, the only reason I can think of why hes playing now is because he kills the twins. I would definitley rather see what Borch can do right now. Oh and lets bench one of our hot bats with Blum in the middle of losing this division, Ozzie is a f***ing moron.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 12:30 PM) I don't think AJP was trying to hit a single there, do you? I ask that question to everyone in our lineup these days besides Gooch, I mean Crede and Uribe are doing a lot better than our main guys, CREDE AND URIBE!!

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 12:25 PM) And that's one of the reasons that either our GM or Manager will be fired. Kenny did a good job this season putting this team together, aside from not getting a bat during the trade deadline he shouldn't be the scapegoat, besides no one was willing to deal anything unless you gave them 2 or 3 top 10 prospects. As far as Ozzie, he has done some of the stupidist s*** ever but then again he isn't the one not playing on the field and losing that 15 game lead, you can only blame him so much. Its really everybody should be blamed, GM, Ozzie, and players. If we don't make it, then some players need to go.

In other news...TYNER WAS RETIRED!!!

QUOTE(SnB @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 12:20 PM) no no 2 awful calls. god hates us right now. For some reason nothing is going the sox way right now. Calls are going against us in games, Pods can't steal a base to save his life, our "aces" pitch like s*** and our bullpen has been giving up leads when we have them. Then to add to that, nobody can touch Tribe right now, I mean the sox combined with bad play are having some bad luck.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 12:17 PM) To me, that would mean it wasn't meant to be. We'll have no Bartmans or goats to blame for this. If it wasn't meant to be then I would rather have lost it because of a short lead but because it was 15 just makes it very very bad.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 12:15 PM) Don't let it get to you this much. If this team can't make the playoffs with a 15 game lead, they don't deserve to make it. That still doesn't make our situation better.

I hate this f***ing offense.

They suck, hes not gonna walk you with the bases empty, what the hell do you think he is gonna do with the bases loaded...

QUOTE(bkmoney @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 12:50 PM) ok.. bases loaded for carl no triple play please Why even hope, this guy owns the sox.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 11:34 AM) Considering we almost have no chance to win, I hope he K's 21 and pitches a perfect game. In that case I hope he shuts us out!!! ..comon...

I hope McCarthy starts warming up soon.

Is is just me or does Santana give the sox the biggest fits out of all the teams he faces? It's almost a no hitter for this f*** everytime against us.

Right now I don't care what any stats say, they have to go out there and play like they are capable. Big Jon stepped up now its time for the rest to. I am rooting for Duque tomorrow but he doesn't have much of a chance with Johan on the mound, hopefully that changes with whats at stake right now.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 05:59 PM) Carl Crawford. 4 yrs 15.25M Thats sad, I will give thanks to the team that gave me a chance but if their not looking to win, im not looking to stay. I'll play hard 100% while im there but after I don't have to, im gone.

QUOTE(SoxPhan7 @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 09:03 PM) and marte! No doubt about it!! I couldn't believe Hawk put Ozzie out there like that about bringing in Marte and I liked nothing better than seeing Marte dominate like he can. I hope this game swings the momentum our way for the rest of the season. This team with confidence having fun playing are good. Great job Jon Garland, he pitched one hell of a game. Marte did a great job showing his teammates he cares and can get the job done. Then to Bad Bobby Jenks closing the door. Can't forget about our offense that at least came through with one run to win the ballgame. Good job White Sox, lets roll.
