Notice DJ. He's not making any excuses about the Sox offense, especially as of late. He's flat out blaming the Sox offense for a lack of execution.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 03:52 PM) BTW, on the pregame tonight, Ozzie talked about how great Carl swung the bat last night. I guess two routine singles in the hole = scolding the ball. Well compared to what he'd been doing it was like scolding the ball. Its better than Aaron or AJ have done lately.

In the Sox defense (I know they don't deserve it) Pablo killed the ball with 1 out and a runner on 3rd (just right to Polanco who barely caught it) and than Uribe was robbed of a homer. I think snb or someone mentioned that they were robbed of one in the 1st as well??

Big hit by Jermaine.

QUOTE(Harry&JimmyRocked @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 03:45 PM) i hope no one actually believes that this team will play any different than they are right now in the playoffs. I totally believe they will. If they somehow get in, they will get a huge huge burdon off there head and be able to relax a bit (I know I know, playoffs, you don't thinka bout relaxing). However right now all they can think about is not choking. They find a way to get in, it'll be like a fresh new start and they'll be able to have fun and stop worrying. EVeryone's written the club off anyway.

AJ, Carl, Rowand are all terrible lately. You can't do much when you can pitch around most every run producer in the lineup. I wouldn't give Paulie anything in this count.

HE's onto 2nd. I think he'd of had a shot on that play. I'd let him steal 3rd right here. I have no problem if he gets gunned down trying to create some offense. Team is having enough trouble as is.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 03:42 PM) The steal in the first inning sounded close on the radio? I didn't see the 1st inning. Did he get thrown out?

Send him Send him Send him

QUOTE(Randar68 @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 01:38 PM) Plus you could photoshop the Jobu sig to have Carlos under the hood... Randy, I like the way you think.

QUOTE(Randar68 @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 07:01 AM) Both Thome and Delgado at a MINIMUM will be on the market... perhaps Helton as well? With PK a free agent and Kevin Millar out there, there are 1st base options in the market... Ya, I am pretty muhc convinced Carlos will be moved. His contract like triples this season to around 12 million a year (they really backended the deal and the 1st year was extremely cheap the rest of relatively pricey) and there is no way the Marlins can afford that. Especially when they will have to find a starter to replace AJ. Delgado can be had and should probably be one of the first options the Sox look at. He's carried offenses before, is left handed, and is a total machine. Would be a great addition to this offense.

I'm going to just say one short thing in here. Sox are a top 8 organization, imo. Problem is a lot of it is at lower levels and they may not receieve that grade for another year. However, they got a lot on the horizon.

Congrats to the Crede's

Wow, another 3-0 count to Juan.

QUOTE(JimH @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 05:11 PM) I understand what some posters are saying about Blum being a pinch hitter but there is no way I wouldn't have given Pierzynski the chance to redeem himself. Now they are down to their last three outs. Aj is a starter in this league for a reason while Blum is on the bench for a reason. In fact he doesn't even play anymore and thats for a reason. AJ should of been out there to play. No doubt about it.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 05:10 PM) Stop 2nd guessing. Jesus. It ain't 2nd guessing. I don't mean to speak for ya Jim and I'm sure you'll respond. But neither of us are exactly known as second guessers. I'm sure he was shaking his head watching the tv just as I was as well as many others. I was calling for a pinch hitter, either AJ or Gload. I could see not bringing in AJ because they didn't want to waste a pitcher, assuming that Walker would come in (I'm assuming Walker was up in the pen)...however at the very least I'd of brought in Gload or AJ let them bring in the lefty and than countered by bringing in Brian Anderson to PH.

Double play...Sox have 3 outs left.

QUOTE(JimH @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 05:08 PM) Well I totally disagree with that, how can you not pinch hit Pierzynski there for Widger. That is totally f***ing stupid, unless he's afraid they'll bring in Walker to face him again. Either way, I would have taken my chances giving Pierzynski another shot vs. the lefthander. Completely disagree with that decision. Still, you worried about a pinch hitter, Bring in Gload, or Bring in AJ. He goes to walker, go back to the bench and bring in Anderson. Just don't go with Blum.

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 05:07 PM) The postgame press conference will be interesting. Maybe Ozzie will quit because the questions are too tough. Maybe Nossek resigned because Ozzie didn't know how to manage and wouldn't listen to anyone about managing.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 05:07 PM) Well, Ozzie, at least you got your point across to Ross Gload... Ozzie's a piece of s***. I will never forgive what they did to Gload. People can tell me all they want about how Gload is a minor league vet. Gload is one of the 6 or 7 best hitters on the club. Ozzie is a f***ing blind man when it comes to talent. I've said it for a long time, he wouldn't know talent if it hit him in the ass. In fact, he had a s***load of talent and wasted it.

QUOTE(SnB @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 05:06 PM) Gload? maybe Anderson? maybe but no, let's use geoff blum, our defensive guy......way to go oz Blum sucks defensively too.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 05:06 PM) THIS TEAM HAS NO f***ING BALLS DO OR DIE SERIES FOR THEIR f***ING PLAYOFF LIVES AGAINST THE f***IGN TIGERS AND THEY s*** THEIR PANTS STUPID ASS WHITE SOX Reminds me of 2 years ago...oh wait, last year two. Sox continue to show a lack of balls.

Check that...White Sox = LOSERS PATHETIC f***ING PATHETIC

When the f*** was the last time Blum played? I know he's hitting just over .100 in his last 28 AB's or so.

Well it figures. f***ing moron uses Blum of all people when Gload, Pyrz are on the bench. Thats just f***ing retarded. OZZIE = LOSER
