QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 08:44 PM) Well, Twins are on the verge of winning another game. They just seem to dominate teams the last 50 games of the season or so. I can't believe that anyone could have ever said they'd like to see the Twins stay close to the Sox. Like I said earlier, the logic is that it forces the Sox to stay sharp. Remember how in 2000 the Sox ran out to a huge lead then were flat as could be in the second half and cruised into the playoffs and got swept cause they weren't sharp? Thats what Im afraid is happening now, the parallels are too strong to ignore.

QUOTE(chisox2334 @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 09:03 AM) Its time to rally around the troops. We supported them all season and now is not the time to panic. We werent even suppost to be this good. Everyone in baseball said were big shock and no picked us to win anything. Time to change that. Start beliving and getting behind them. Time to win it all. Even the harshest critics around here are totally behind the team. Me and the other critics all see the same thing: a team thats flat on its ass with no motivation. This is not the time of year to be in that mindset.

I thought this thread was worth a bump because the very thing I was worried about is happening. With a really big lead in the division the Sox are flat on their ass, have nothing to play for and its showing up in their play.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 08:38 PM) Its the same scouting report as last year. Spot your fastball on the outside corner 90% of the time. Then throw the occasional breaking pitch to keep them honest. Play them to pull. You do this and medicore pitching can destroy our team. Just like anyone who bothered to listen has done all season. Its unreal how this team can go so long without making an adjustment.

Thanks everybody. You guys and your crazy antics in the chat on the boards make being a Sox fan that much better.

Nice idea............Where did you ever get that from? HAHA

You breathe on Grossman wrong and he gets hurt............time to move on.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 11:46 AM) Let me know when they make a hybrid with a top speed over 130 mph and make it look like a car. They will.......and sooner rather than later. Hybrid technology is the first major step in weaning ourselves off the addiction we have for foregin oil.

Im the guy boarding the plane.

These Umps are totally f***ing Garland over. This is total bulls***.

OK Folks, chat is up and running........Stop by and say hello!

QUOTE(Ozzie Montana @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 08:07 PM) Oh well, get them tomarrow. Boston can take this bogus win. We will be there tomarrow for vengance. Cy Garland will handle business tomorrow.......book it.

CARL = f***ING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 4-0 GOOD GUYS!!!!!!!!!!

AROW = CLUTCH HELL f***ING YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2-0 GOOD GUYS

Hey folks. Chat is open for business......lets get some folks in there. GO SOX!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 02:51 PM) CLE has an extremely easy schedule down the stretch. They could catch us. Bulls***. Please share with me what you're smoking.

RIP EM!!!!!!!!!!!

They should fire the whole crew of Red Sox slurping, boneheaded morons and start with a fresh crew that actually knows something about baseball.

You mean Iowa and Nebraska are different somehow?!

QUOTE(wsox08 @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 03:07 AM) We can just as easily take 2 of 3 from Boston with Buehrle and Garland on the bump.. It's hard to believe that Minnesota is completely out of the race, but we'll see how the fair against us.. Minny is too banged up to be much of a threat to us now. If they were healthy they would not be as far back as they are now.

One dog was good.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,AROW is better.

QUOTE(Wong & Owens @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 04:23 PM) i'm not really an old-timer, but i admit i'm not fully convinced. the yankees aren't that good, although beating them 2 of 3 at home was quite a feat. the pitching has me convinced, the hitting doesn't. not because we don't have guys with .330 ba's, or .400 OBP's, but because there are too many regulars that can't get things done via productive outs or walks. i get more convinced though every game People are probably going to beat me up over this and I really hope Im proven wrong but even with Carl back in the lineup I think its just too easy to shut this team down. They all ( with the exception of Pods and Gooch ) have a tendency to swing for a 3 run homer with nobody on base. If they persist like that in the playoffs its gonna be lights out for this team before we even finish printing the playoff tickets.
