This s*** is pissing me off. They bring in Marte to face the lefty and he promptly walks him.

Marte in..................Time to hold your breath.

QUOTE(Soxfest @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 03:23 PM) Cotts is polar opposite of LV GREAT JOB Luis should take notes.

That inning was a thing of beauty!!! NICE WORK NEAL!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 03:11 PM) Neal Cotts first appearances were 1000x worse than Vizcaino and now we love him? Vizcainos numbers are almost untouchable over the last month... Cotts got his act together quickly and has been lights out ever since. Viz is still as shaky as a house of cards in a wind tunnel.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 10:33 PM) I have a bad feeling that KW will offer him his contract after the season. Captain popup, master of the GIDP, Commander of the solo homer will be with us for at least 4 more years. You forgot sultan of slow.

One of the stats Id like to point out for the Rowand haters is the following BA with RISP..............333 BA with RISP and 2 out..............424

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 09:20 PM) Good post. Here's the thing, everyone here seems to expect an explosion every now and then from our offense but there are people claiming our O is inconsistant. In other words I'm saying that the same people who are calling our offense inconsistant would probably be doing the same for the Red Sox offense if they were fans of the Bosox. You are very correct that we don't have that 1(or 2 in the case of Boston) stud in the middle of the lineup like Boston or Anaheim. That's what Konerko and Everett are supposed to be. Everett has been somewhat consistent this season but Konerko has been atrocious in the clutch all season long. He inspires fear in nobody.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 09:17 PM) very glad to see the orlando hernandez pitched extremely well...that was really the most important part of a whitesox fans day... Too bad his effort was wasted.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 09:08 PM) Lying is bad He's not that far off. The only team worse in the AL than us in both categories is Seattle.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 08:43 PM) Now I feel like a loser. I love the original Bad News Bears but want to see the remake cuz I liked Bad Santa. LMFAO!!!!! Bad Santa was f***ing awesome. I got the DVD for it like 2 weeks ago and I havent stopped laughing since. Earlier tonight I watched Crimson Tide for the 1st time in forever. I forgot what an awesome flick that was.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 08:28 PM) Paulie popping up and Everett striking out with men on was a huge flashback to our 3-4-5 hitters against Seattle in 2000. Yeah, when they had the sun in their eyes. LOL!

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 08:00 PM) They'll make the playoffs. Come September, when the games count, they will come around. We play almost nothing but AL Central in September. That should help us somewhat.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 07:55 PM) Yes it does....but our GM is out trying to get a starting pitcher? We need a bat in the lineup far more than we need another starter.

QUOTE(atrain081 @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 07:52 PM) I don't mean to bash the Sox here, but this roster will not bring a world series title. The pitching is there, but you need a complete team. I think one thing even this diverse bunch can agree on is that this team needs a shot in the arm offensively.

Whenever the Sox are on WGN I watch Hawk and DJ but since I can't get the MLB package where I'm at I;m forced to listen to the radio broadcast most of the time.

QUOTE(Soxpranos @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 07:47 PM) Yet I have no proof? You have 1 at bat, I have the rest of a season. Eat s***.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 07:34 PM) Or he's just having a bad game. I think you're right about that. If anyone has been consistent it's been Carl. Not to harp on this same stat but Carl was hitting .317 with RISP.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 07:30 PM) I'm not so sure. He scored 100 runs with Milwaukee in 2003 and 85 last year hitting .244. He is on pace for about 90 this year. Pods is doing his part by getting on base. Beyond that there isin't a lot he can do.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 07:25 PM) I'm just saying he could save his body some pounding, and Iguchi would be probably appreciate not having to get himself in a hole giving him the opportunity to swipe second. He hit quite a few triples the last couple of years, and I think 19 homers. So he has shown he can drive the ball in the past. That's true but his average is 50 points higher this year and so's his OBP so I think its a better deal.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 07:21 PM) If Pods would get some extra base hits he wouldn't have to steal so much, and Iguchi would have an easier time when he batted. Pods is the least of our troubles in this lineup.

WHO SAID PODS CANT PLAY DEFENSE?!?!?! NICE PLAY!

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 07:12 PM) Uribe is opening up so f***ing early on every pitch. The reason he was so good for a portion of the season last year was cause he drove the ball to the opposite field. All he does is pull the 1st pitch right to the SS or 3B man. He is utterly terrible up there.

Uribe and Konerko are in a competition to see who can kill more rallies.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 07:05 PM) Better than losing 11-2 cause Duque couldn't get out of the 4th. Its really hard to say which is worse.
