Whitewashed in '05

Hopefully El Duque mows them down for 5 and Bmac can mow them down the rest of the way, we need this win today. The way the Tribe is playing we need to win no matter if they win or not. Go get em Sox!

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 12:40 PM) I'll guarantee that the Sox don't sign Furcal. Iguchi is our 2b, and Uribe is our starting SS. It's the 3b spot we need an upgrade, and we're not going to stick Uribe at 3b. We do need an upgrade at 3B that is a given. I think our success in the postseason (pending we get there first) will effect our interest in Furcal. Maybe if we do poorly offense wise KW will look to upgrade with Furcal wether we do good or bad. Either way, we need some offensive help and we need to upgrade.

If they don't screw it up, I don't know what to expect in the playoffs. I don't have a lot of confidence in them, they suck.

UGH!! We better get a good pitching performance tomorrow because Jon sucked today. Bench Carls ass too while your at it. They better hope Indians lose today and pick up the game tomorrow so they won't get swept. :puke

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Sep 10, 2005 -> 01:54 PM) Gload and Borchard with singles, can you believe it? Carl should be writing some notes down.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 10, 2005 -> 01:36 PM) Yup. "He overtagged." No -- he was out, you're wrong, the ump was wrong. Jim, lots of sarcasm in today's gamethread. I stopped watching the game but he probably was safe, that home plate ump sucked today. Not that him being called safe would be the difference in this game by any means, but umpires have really been f***ing the sox over this season. I feel like every game I watch or am atleast following the umpires screw us over.

All I have to say is Carl Everett is worthless. Also good job to Garland.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Sep 10, 2005 -> 09:27 AM) Unlike my maggs jersey, I will always wear my Frank jersey, No matter what.

Weren't there whispers of Maggs saying he wants out if they don't contend?? Actually I think he said it didn't he?? He followed the money and Detroit was on the otherside, maybe if he would have taken a paycut to play for a team you know will contend he would be happy. I still like Ordonez but he should have been a little smarter, if he was so sure he was healthy he should've taken a one year contract with incentives somewhere and then signed on a contending team afterwards. Although he was injured half the season he is still proving he can hit now, those homers are way down because of Comerica. I for some reason also have the feeling he will be dealt sometime during that deal.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 09:22 PM) I hope it's solely for like an opening day type series. I'm sorry, but I don't think we need any of our big leagues to expand outside of the continent. That just seems like that'd be insanely rough on a schedule. Yeah no s***, you don't want them on the plane for 8 hours.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 08:02 PM) CERA has nothing to do with the defense of a catcher really. Vernon Wells and Ichiro will both win GG this year most likely. The third is pretty much up for grabs. I don't see Row getting it, he still is not well known enough nationally. Who are the other candidates? I can only think of one, maybe Kotsay??

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 08:53 PM) This is so so so ugly tonight. The offense, outside of a few plays, seems completely lifeless. Well...at least we won 7 in a row before this. Hopefully they get back on track tomorrow because their gonna need it vs those angels.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 08:41 PM) ... Well he relys on his deception of his fb and gets a lot of K's, isn't that considered finesse or do I have it confused??

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 08:39 PM) Isn't Cotts a power pitcher? Finesse is more like it.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 08:32 PM) Carl is horrible right now, let's start the Frank chant. Get Well Soon Frank!!!! I would rather have Frank out there in a wheelchair than Carl, he so damn homer happy.

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 08:31 PM) Why is Carl Everett still playing? I would say the same thing but then I realized our offense sucks as it is.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 08:28 PM) Burgios will walk people, let's just be patient and get one this inning. Whats this patient word you say?? --Maybe I should say Carl is gonna K right before every AB so he gets a walk...--

The only guy I can see teams having trouble with is Wood with KC and they have. Other than that, there is no reason why we only have 2 hits this late in the game.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 08:03 PM) Wow, Ozzie is ph for Pods? Interesting move. Rook vs Rook, maybe we get a blast from Anderson .

QUOTE(Sox Hustler @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 07:37 PM) Carl will K if you call that getting something going. Maybe I should say that more...

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 07:37 PM) Yeah I'm pretty sure a lot of teams have done that more than the Sox this year. Maybe later in the game but maybe I should've said right after the offense scores some runs they let the other team come right back the next inning.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 07:37 PM) Come on Carl and Konerko...get something going this inning. Carl will K if you call that getting something going.

I don't think I've seen pitchers give up their leads as much as I have this year with the sox... :headshake

Everyone makes very good points in this thread against Rogers and our team compared to others and its refreshing. This team can do it, hopefully they will.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 03:36 PM) It's going to be specified. Think about that. They can't just have people showing up whenever they feel like it. Yeh I guess it was a stupid question, thanks anyway.
