QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 04:09 PM) God Damn, Brandon has been solid as of late, but now he pitches against the f***ing tigers and is having trouble. Dude. 2 runs in 4/2/3 on 2 solo shots. The only 2 hard hit balls of the evening. Are you even watching the game?

Craig Monroe gives the Tigers the lead. This really f***ing sucks. Sox are getting a great pitching performance and just can't do s*** offensively. I feel awful for Bmac cause next to Contreras he's been by far the best thing going for the Sox and can't buy a victory. Get off your f***ing asses Chicago and score some runs for the kid and the rest of the staff. You can't keep putting this type of pressure on the pitching. When you do they get to the point where the pressure gets to be too much, they start trying to pinpoint and throw shutouts every outing and quite frankly its not possible. What makes this worse is Robertson is throwing like s*** yet the Sox have one f***ing run...one. Get the f*** going Chicago.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 04:04 PM) So...all of y'all who were saying that the solution to our problems was to put Aaron in the 3 hole...yeah.... Hey, I just passed 5000 posts. Still far superior than Everett in the 3 spot, imo. Fact of the matter is the Sox don't have a good option for the 3 hole right now (unless they want to move JD there or even Crede at this point). Best thing I can think of is Pablo DH'ing and in the 2 hole and Iguchi sliding to the 3 spot. Pablo can handle a bat and do a decent job in the 2 spot and Guchi would be a solid 3 hole hitter. It may be too drastic of a change though and I can't see Ozzie doing it. That or get Gload some contstant ab's and try him out. He's a good pure hitter, but he's gonna have to get AB's for that to happen (ie it won't happen).

What type of catcher is Vance Wilson? I just remember him backing up a couple years for the Mets (I think it was them). Does he have much of an arm?

Rowand hit it the same place he did his last AB which was a DP. Rowand, stop pulling the f***ing ball. Hey morons (Sox hitters) watch whats going on. He's living on the outside part of the plate. Take note of what Paulie and Juan have done.

I got a feeling that Pods is going to be running during this AB.

Guchi hammered it to right field but Ordonez caught it on the track. Uribe tags up. Off the bat I thought that was trouble for the Tigers, but the wind is blowing in (I think thats what the Tiger announers just said).

Beautiful bunt by Podsednik. He seems to be getting a little more confidence with his legs cause he's been dropping a few more bunts lately and things are working out. Loved to see him bunting he hadn't been doing it enough.

See that....he throws a fastball up and away and Juan does a beautiful job whacking into right for a single. This is a brand new game: 1-1

Uribe is back in a funk. When he's not staying back he's a really bad hitter. When he's staying back he's deadly.

Uribe finds himself in a hole. 0-2 Buckle down Juan

Widger moves the runner over for Uribe. Come on Juanita, tie this game up.

Beautiful, Pablo steals 2nd. Wasn't even close and he had a great jump. Nicely done Pablo Right now I wouldn't mind Pablo moving into the 2 slot as a DH, Guchi moving to the 3rd spot and Everett seeing the bench.

That was close (ozuna going back). I thought with him he'd of been going to 2nd all the way, but guess htey didn't want to be agressive. Lets see if he's moving here. I want all the Sox hitters to take note...if your a righty use right field. This guy is living with offspeed stuff on the outside of the plate.

Thtas freaking awesome. I love Favre as a QB, but no way am I putting up a wallpaper of a Packer on my computer Still very badass, one of the best I've seen of the NFL ones, imo.

Well there is a little difference between 3 straight and 3 in an inning that had a double play. Plus we had a handicap...ie Carl Everett Nice Bmac rolls through the inning. Sox are putting up a crooked number in the 5th.

QUOTE(Maury @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 03:49 PM) Wuzup Jason? Need a big win here. Damn right we do. I want to hear you guys going totally crazy with the Sox putting up a 5 or 6 spot this next inning. They got to capitalize and give McCarthy some breathing room. The guy has pitched his ass of and has gotten zero support from his mates offensively.

Come on White Sox. Robertson is all over the place. Take advantage. Also, memo to Carl: You SUCK

Bring us a win Maury

QUOTE(Mercy! @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 01:52 PM) I was a little surprised that Buehrle didn’t just give the standard “no-comment” type of response when asked today on a call-in show on ESPN radio about Carl Everett’s public complaints about being demoted from 3rd to 6th in the lineup. He basically said he was disappointed that Carl complained when you’ve got guys like Borchard and others on the bench who’d love an opportunity to get a chance to contribute. But Carl’s going to be Carl, and he’s going to go off and "say some goofy thing." However, Buehrle was smart enough not to take the bait when he was asked who’d he’d put in the three hole if he were making up the lineup. That’s when he decided to say that the offense wasn’t his business. Carl needs to stop cheating fastballs. He's doing the same thing he was early in the season when he was in a horrid funk. If you give him an offspeed pitch down and away you'll get three swings and misses and Everett will walk to the bench. Throw him a fastball in and he may just get lucky and whallop it. He's f***ing terrible as of now.

Hope everything works out for Joe and his family

QUOTE(watchtower41 @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 12:11 PM) Too much of a bad influence with all the pot smoking around the clubhouse?? KRod will surely miss him. No, he just stinks. Of course this is just my wishful thinking. I don't even listen to Angel games on TV anymore. I'll see the score but 99% of the watching I do for the Angels is at the game or listening on the radio while I'm in the car. There tv broadcasts are horribly inept. Hudler = MORON And remember I'm a huge DJ fan, so for all you DJ haters that should say something.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 07:20 PM) So we dodged a HUGE bullet today, coming back from 12 down in the 4th to beat San Fran. The defense took a big step back from last week which was very dissappointing. Giving up 269YDS and 3TD's to Tim Rattay isn't acceptable at all. And giving 125 yards from 25 rushes ain't good at all either. Julius Jones hasn't gotten it going yet, so that's still a positive sign, 26 rushes 85 yards, 3.3 per carry. that will improve. San Fran was always going to play 8 men in the box today anyway and blitz to try and make Bledsoe beat them. And he did. 363 YDS passing, very nice indeed, even with the 2 INT's. But I'm hoping Parcells and Mike Zimmer are still giving it to the them, especially the defense. We can't play football like that, and expect to go higher than 8-8. Why we're giving up so many big plays, I don't know. Yeah Roy Williams ain't good in coverage, but Newman, Henry and Glenn are 3 quality starting CB's. I don't think they took a huge step back. They just went up against a team that runs a pretty wide open offense and when Rattay is healthy he's actually a pretty solid qb. Of course this game should of never been this close because San Fran sucks defensively. The Boys aren't that great.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 12:11 PM) Wisco is undefeated as well, and they dont play mich or OSU. Wisco will fold just like they did last year, imo. They still got to play the Purdues, Iowa's, Minnesota's of the world and I think all of those teams are capabe of beating the Badgers as well as MSU.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 11:45 AM) Its surprising because IOWA's run game looked good until this weekend. I was at the Bucks game, and we flat out dominated their O-line and made Tate look uncomfortable. Plus iowa's d-line is terrible. They rely soley on their backers to pick up the slack. OSU gave away 3 td's on 2 fumbles and a penalty. the game was alot more lopsided than people think. Ya, there new running back has actually done a very good job. OSU just shut down every aspect of Iowa's offense. Iowa State did that as well, but without Drew date for roughly 3 quarters. I still say, Iowa has Tate and they would be 3-1 at this point. That being said, they are nowhere near as good as Ohio State or Michigan State and would get clobbered if they played them at home or on the road (maybe they could come close to MSU because I like Tate's ability to get in a scoring match with them and I think the Iowa defense has some playmakers and should gel). We shall see though. I think 8 wins at most for my Hawkeyes this year.
