QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 04:41 PM) Without the red-hot Crede. Also, Widger's in a massive funk. AJ's sucking ass too and Pablo is good against lefties. I agree they miss Crede, but the way these guys are hitting...it would be a horrid lineup regardless of who was out there in a Sox uniform.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 04:40 PM) Kazmir has a thrown a good amount of pitches. Eventually the tribe will get into the pen. Dont hold your breath on the rays doing us a favor. This is our own duty. f*** ya. Its all about the White Sox winning. They don't do that who cares.

Even though I hate posting other teams scores. 5-4 Boston with a runner on 3rd and 1 out.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 04:39 PM) Hawk's about to lose it. This lineup is just flat out awful. No worse than the previous lineups.

f***...Sox don't win a couple games they don't deserve the playoffs. Case closed. No excuses..this team needs to play the game or they can go f*** themselves. Its pathetic and I have no idea why I even watch right now. I just get disgusted by the lack of execution. Its not that they are a bad team, thats what kills me. This team is as good as anyone in baseball...yet it can't go out and do the little things on offense anymore and because of that they are basically a .500 team. Start doing the little things and they'll get into the playoffs and win this game. If they don't, its no ones fault but there own and they can think about it the entire offseason. Anyone notice how many 3-0 counts Uribe has had in this series? It must be 5 already. The Dreaded Leadoff walk. Well dreaded if it was anyone other than the Sox getting the walk. Instead its Chicago so they'll hit into a DP and cancel it out. OR they'll put a bunch of runners on and than strike out 3 straight times with a runner on 3rd.

YOU f***ING SUCK WHITE SOX OFFENSE Nice job by Brandon pitching through that.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 04:28 PM) Why, this offense sucks. If the playoffs are missed, or exited quickly, this offese is making it very easy for Greg Walker to be the fall guy. Walker is gone if this team doesn't make the playoffs. I think he's probably gone regardless. THe problem is, if this team doesn't make the playoffs I fear the repercusisons to the fan base which has grown pretty well this season. Even if the Sox go 3 and out, they need to make the playoffs so they can continue growing there base and payroll. Also so they can sign Konerko and add a big time bat.

Start throwing some more FB's in Brandon.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 04:25 PM) When as that ever been a suprise? Its there pitching that is in question, and for good reason.... Red Sox are going nowhere. There pitching is horrid. They are basically the opposite version of the White Sox. They are a good team, not a great team. I'm starting to think the same for the Sox, unless the offense pulls its head out of its ass.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 04:24 PM) I can't even believe we're going to 7th inning having scored only 1 run against a guy with 6.94 ERA in September. Robertson has done his best to let us score. The Sox have just done an even better job f***ing things up.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 04:23 PM) but all he's thinking is break up the double play which he SHOULD be thinking... Ya, he should of been thinking it...however, that play, you shouldn't. You should know Zuna is running and that when Guillen dove and on a slow hit ball there is zero chance at the double play. At that instant, your trying to beat things out.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 04:22 PM) Here is the scouting report on Cy Robertson. He throws to the outside corner about 75%. What does this tell our hitters. I know, Pull the ball. No s***...Sox are sitting fastball too and the guy is throwing tons of changeups out of the zone. f***ing terrible at bat by Widge. How long do we have to continue to bail this s***back out of jams. YOU f***ING SUCK OFFENSE...GO TO HELL, your ruining what would be an amazing season. Figure this s*** out and start going, at least execute every once in a while with runners in scoring position.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 04:21 PM) Weak choice of slides by Carl. It looked like a breakup slide as opposed to a get in quickly slide. His legs were up trying to take out and because of it he didn't get into the back as quick as he should. Like I said a few posts ago, a good slide and he's safe.

Widge..do this for qwerty.

f*** that was close at 2nd. Great play by Carlos Guillen. I still think he may of been safe (Everett). Saves a run on the play. Everett came in high on the throw. He goes head first and I think he's safe (not knocking just observing) and I'm not saying he should of went head first.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 04:17 PM) perfect opportunity and we're gonna f*** ourselves NEVER...Chicago has to take care of business. They will get to Robertson..they will. Hopefully it won't be too late. Well they should at least, this guy is pitching like CRAP.

Wow Everett with a single. Maybe an error, but I'll take it.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 04:16 PM) It a killer. If this team had an Ortiz or Hafner batting 3rd, this probably would be the most enjoyable season of our lifetims. No doubt, anyone of that magnitude nad this is a world series team. Give the Sox last years offense and I'm convinced were on the way to the Series. I laughed when Hawk blamed the offense for last seasons woes and I still do. I loved the idea of getting more pitching but Uribe/Rowand didn't come around like many of us (myself included) expected them to. When they didn't come through it put a lot more pressure on Jermaine Dye and Konerko. They seemed to live up to it, but they just couldn't do it on there own, especially when Frank went down fully (even though I thought he was way over-rated this year).

I hope Paulie doesn't start pushing for his 40th. Sometimes when guys are on plateau marks they start fishing a bit trying to hit everything out. So far it doesn't look like Paulie's done that, but who knows. Wow Paulie goes down on a fastball in. Really looked like he was expecting an offspeed pitch.

Chicago...tie this one up and than give McCarthy the league. Enough s***, start getting the job done.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 04:13 PM) garland and mccarthy both go to the changeup often with a 3-2 count. i wonder if it has somethign to do with the catchers....lets get 2 here offense and give the kid a lead I know one thing...I don't want AJ catching Brandon, only Widge.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 04:13 PM) You've been saying all along that we need a number 3 hitter. It's definitely been our downfall this season. Its quite obvious Kenny will need to resign Paulie and find another big time bat for the middle of the lineup this offseason. If he doesn't, it will be a failure of an offseason. It would be like the Cubs not picking up a good closer this past off-season when they knew it was a major hole.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 04:12 PM) Throw him a changeup...you'll get the whiff and the inning will be over. Its obvious...you should never ever ever throw Infante a fastball.

Throw him a changeup...you'll get the whiff and the inning will be over.

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 04:10 PM) Every other ball hit is a rocket!!! There were a couple liners towards Pablo and than the 2 hr's. Maybe I'm watching a different game. I also see guys totally off balance on his changeup. Looks solid to me. As good as his prior outings, no, but still pretty damn good.
