Let's see how much of a big game pitcher Buehrle is tomorrow.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 10:21 PM) The loss last year where Valentin dropped the foul ball against the Twins when the standings were much closer was a harder loss to take for me. Credit goes to Hawk, he didn't like the feel of the game all night. That game you're referring to. That was against the Twins. This is the f***ing Royals. The worst team in baseball. A team we had a 5 run lead against. A team that had about 15 hits off of our "stellar" pitching. :puke

Is this the same Royals team that lost 18 or 19 in a row awhile back? They certainly didn't play like it tonight.

Personally, I think "Prison Break" is a great show. A little bit "24," a little bit "Sopranos," a little bit "Shawkshank Redemption" mixed together, for some really entertaining television. This new fall season is going to have some promising shows. I saw that "Reunion" show last week. Good premise, but can it last past one season? Fox is turning into my favorite channel to watch.

Carl says: Okay. Whatever. :headshake Keep it going, Freddy. The Indians are facing Zito tonight. Let's get the magic # down to 11.

I tried and tried and tried and tried, but I just couldn't stay up. Getting up for work was definitely more important. Anyway, With Bobby Jenks coming in, I knew things would turn out right. Rowand - (one for each 2B) Contreras - (Not your best performance, but better than any of the other 4 guys recently) Uribe - (Keep it up)

Game on.

Chance of showers tonight in KC.

From Reifert's blog:

I hope whatever is affecting Damaso, he gets straightened and gets back to being the effective pitcher that he was. Saying that, he was the one pitcher that I was afraid would give a bomb or crucial walk in the playoffs.

Score said that El Duque will start Saturday, with McCarthy piggy-backing again. For God's sake.

Pods, LF Iguchi, 2B PK, 1B Everett, DH Rowand, CF Dye, RF AJ, C Uribe, SS Crede, 3B Contreras, RHP. I'm liking Paulie #3

From the "No s***" Department: Damaso Marte will never pitch for the White Sox again. JMO

Pretend this is in green:

The only bad thing that can come out of this is that it decreases his trade value. We would still have to eat his contract if we released him.

Even though one pitch hasn't even been thrown in the KC series, I thought I would look ahead and show the possible pitching matchups in the Twinkiedome. The Sox really need to step it up against KC. Friday: Garland v. Baker (rookie, haven't faced him yet ) Saturday: Hernandez v. Santana Sunday: Contreras v. Lohse Thankfully, Saturday's game is not on TV.

I know, more playoff talk. http://www.suntimes.com/output/sox/cst-spt-ssep13.html

Nobody better on the mound tonight than good, old Contreras. Mr. Reliable. Who'd have thought we'd be relying on him out of all of our starters to end losing streaks? Also, suddenly I'm an A's fan after despising them all year.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 11:36 AM) If only I had the power, I would banish all playoff threads until we clinch.

AOL is for people who still have dial up. Other than that, it's pretty much crap and useless. Pay for broadband and you won't need it. You'll essentially be taking out the middle man (AOL).

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 03:03 PM) You have to be nuts to think Ozzie will leave Duque off the postseason roster (if he doesn't blow our chance to make it before then). I know he's going to be on there. But one can only dream. That is IF we even get to the postseason.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 02:37 PM) Well Willie or Gload is going to be on the post-season roster cause the Sox won't be carrying 12 pitchers. That means one of Bmac/Duque won't make the playoff roster. That's fine with me. Duque should be no where near a post-season roster. He pitched in it once last season? But has been pretty much mediocre since 2000. Who cares if McCarthy is just a kid. Put him on it. But we all know Ozzie "it's all about respect" :headshake

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 01:00 PM) Imagine if I had real problems to deal with...like living in New Orleans...or Iraq... By the way, now I feel better.
