QUOTE(Steff @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 04:43 PM) Wow.. you spelled grammar correctly.

QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 04:42 PM) Outside of Wakefield, yeah, it's bad right now. Luckily for them they have the big bats. Those bats aren't gonna get them into the playoffs. I called it in the preseason and it will hold true darn it.

QUOTE(Steff @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 04:37 PM) Why the "?"....? I have to take it easy on the drinking tonight.. driving to Detroit in the morning for my last regular season game of the year.. Nice...if they don't clinch tonight, your gonna have a fun one tomorrow. By tomorrow night the Sox will have a playoff birth clinched. And steff, you should know by now...there is no rhyme or reason when it comes to my grammar.

I don't really want rain. If it rains and the game somehow gets played we have to turn it over to the pen. I got more faith in Contreras shutting em down the rest of the way. But if it rains and doesn't stop till tomorrow's game, than I got no problem.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 04:35 PM) Look if we can't win regualr games we don't deserve to be in the playoffs.. We've won over 90 games.

I don't care...I take the run.

QUOTE(Steff @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 04:34 PM) Why is he always crapping on everyone? I know the last month and moreso the last 2 weeks has been stressful.. but damn. Who knows. I have as thick of skin as anyone, but I don't like it when someone craps there negativity on everyone else. It would be one thing if he did it every once in a while but anywhere he sees someone happy he has to go and try and rain on their parade. All I know is we'll be celebrating tonight. I gotta feeling we'll get a playoff spot tonight?

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 04:27 PM) Everett earned himself the starting spot for the rest of the year. As dire as things have been, that was a huge, huge hit. It livened up the mood in the dugout too. I think the Sox are gonna score a few more runs tonight. Folks you heard it here first, if the Sox find a way to get into the playoffs..there offense will come through in the postseason.

QUOTE(Steff @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 04:30 PM) And you didn't see me telling people I have no business telling how to celebrate either. Now move along before I bet you with my walker. Steff...I wouldn't wait around to see his response And I just had to correct ya for once....I think you meant beat

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 04:27 PM) That is the wrong approach in my opinion. You don't want to back into the playoffs knowing you just blew off the last few days of the season. It just seems childish to me. And I never told you how to celebrate or whatever. Yes, if this course of events is to happen, I'll be happy, but it is not grounds for celebration to me. I see you don't read. Enjoy your break. Youve joined jabroni as the second poster I cant stand

QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 04:23 PM) A row needs to take tomorrow off before we get to cleveland give Anderson the start tomorrow. what could it hurt? I agree, I'd probably give him and AJ another day off. Everett earned himself another start with that triple. Jose please please put it on cruise control from here. We could really use it again.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 04:24 PM) Wow. At least add some knowledge to the thread maybe. You dont celebrate WC clinches when your still 1st in the division. As since when does a 16 year old have to be childish? As of this current moment, your the childish one for calling me out. Mind your business, that's what I am saying. Whoa...knowledge, maybe you start reading a few more posts and stop trying to call out and attack people as much as you have been lately. Always trying to rain on people's parades. I got news for ya, just stop responding to my posts. In case your wondernig, Yes thats a threat.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 04:19 PM) You can't be serious. You just cant. Don't tell the Sox how they can and can't celebrate. Don't tell me how I can and can't celebrate. If the Sox clinch the wild card I'll sit back, grab a beer, maybe smoke a cigar and relax the rest of the regular season. If they win the division great, if not, who cares, the focus will be on the playoffs. Ask the Angels...they aren't worried about home field advantage..Scioscia wants to get the team ready for the post-season and if they get homefield eventually than so be it.

If I were the Tigers I'd milk the bottom half of the inning.

Well those of you wanted him to hit it somewhere other than short got there wish. But another opportunity squandered. Anyone want to tell me the past 10 days what the Sox % of converting with a runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs? I'm guessing 15% or so.

I will cry if they have a 3-1 lead and the game doesn't get past the 5th. CRY I tell you

Now Aaron...grounder to short would be just fine right now.

Nice...thtas really nice. Now please...don't let the rain come till the Tigers go down in the 5th.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 04:17 PM) Why hasn't Dye been given the chance to hit 3rd? To be honest, I don't know. I still don't mind sliding Guchi right now. Back to back singles with 1 out. Problem is the dead part of the lineup is up. Everett an than Aaron. I think Ozzie doesn't want to go crazy. Part of him has to be thinking its just a matter of time. No team can continue to be this much worse when runners are on as opposed to runners are off. Usually things even out statistically and the team will get hot for a period with runners on and play a little above ourselves. Hopefully thats just around the corner and the Sox can figure out a way to muster out 2 more wins between now and than.

QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 04:16 PM) who's worse right now? Rowand? Everett? Pierzynski? my ranking: 1. Ev 2. ARow 3. AJ Thats hard...I'd probably say EVerett, AJ, Aaron but I think they equally suck at this point in time. What makes matters worse is that none of them have a clue how to draw a walk or work a count.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 04:15 PM) AJP trying to pull the outside changeup. He should be batting 8th, and not 3rd. AJP has been rather disappointing during the stretch run also. I expected more intensity out of him. Problem is the Sox don't have anyone that can hit 8th. Pick your poison all 3 of the candidates suck right now (AJP, Everett, Rowand) and they can't all hit 8th.

QUOTE(downstairs @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 04:14 PM) Your what hurts? An idiot is an idiot is an idiot. So I'm an idiot?

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 04:13 PM) I actually think he won't be fired, but he'll quit after this season. It definitely seems like a possibility he could go after the Marlins job when it opens. I wouldn't blame him, as the Chicago media is pretty harsh. Rofl...you guys are crazy. Chicago is his dream job, despite him being a little frustrated. Hell, I don't really blame him. This team lacks a big time run producer to join Konerko and they are paying for it. Not his fault Aaron, EVerett, and AJ are in HORRID funks.

Nice...the Tigers have been taking notes about the Sox.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 04:11 PM) First you must start with the GM; who wants to win.. and knows how to build a successful organiztion.. Then the manager will follow. LOL, no GM wants to win more than Kenny. The guy wants nothing but a world series ring. Anything less is garbage to him.
