QUOTE(rcpweiner @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 12:02 AM) Bulls***. I hate you already. In other news ... Hi, everybody. I'm new to this forum, but I'm a White Sox fan recently transplanted from Chicago into LA. Alright, back to listening to Rooney and Farmer. Keep up with the commentary, all. Love it. Welcome,

those with TV, is anyone up in the Sox pen?

QUOTE(JimH @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 11:32 PM) Why is Froemming in front of home plate there? He gets a far better angle from behind the play. He f***ed it up, he didn't see that Kotsay's foot hit Widger's toe guard and not the plate. Froemming, a veteran ump, CLEARLY OUT OF POSITION. Two run swing. Just get the f***ing calls right, we'll take blame for our own problems. BAD call. By veteran, I assume you really mean "Older than mother f***ing s***" ump. He's been a ML ump for 30+ years, time to be carted off to the old folks home.

Cubs lose 11-9, I can watch every other MLB game tonight except the Sox/Oak

Chicago White Sox second baseman Tadahito Iguchi of Japan is upended by Oakland Athletics' Scott Hatteberg after throwing to first to complete a double play in the second inning Tuesday, April 26, 2005, in Oakland, Calif. Jason Kendall was out at first base. (AP Photo/Ben Margot)

Another completely disgusting Twins "rally". With 1 out and 1st and 2nd, and grounder to 3rd should've been a DP, instead the KC gets 1 out and leaves runners on the corners and 2 down, then Lew Ford hits one off his fingernails and it bloops out about a foot and a half beyond Tony Graffanino running out into right center field. 2-1 Twins.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 10:19 PM) MB's late for his real job again. Inning over alerady. LOL 7 pitches

I got no TV tonight, extra innings doesn't pick up WCIU and I guess no Oakland TV tonight either. :puke

This team is simply a hilarious riot right now, how could you not get wrapped up in it and just grab a beer and enjoy it? That feeling is best summed up by southsider's post, I completly agree with him. Just look at the last three games. Saturday, after scoring two quick runs and getting a 2-1 lead, Zach Grienke shuts us down for his next six innings. Joe Crede extended his hitting streak to 14 games (which is funny enough on its own). Then the Royals score one in the 8th, and could've scored more. KC loads the bases in the 9th with 1 out, Marte somehow gets out of it. In the 10th, AJ, Uribe, and Rowand ducksnort and scratch their way to the GW run. We left 12 men on base, Contreras had to leave the game in the 4th inning, PK was 0/4, Carl was 0/5, AJ was 0/4 but scored 2 runs, SOX WIN! Sunday, we should've scored about 7 runs in the first 2 innings, instead it's only 2-0, and KC takes the lead 3-2 in the 7th. In the top of the 8th, Willie starts the rally, PK and ARow get hits, and the Pablo doubles for the go ahead RBI. Cotts gets the win, Shingo gets the save. Ozzie finishes the game with Pablo at 1st, but Pablo makes the defensive play of the game in the 9th. The Sox commit 4 errors, get 2 hits through the 1st 7 innings off of Danny Bautista, I repeat, Danny Bautista. El Duque throws about 350 pitches in 5 innings. Ozzie said, "It was poor pitching, poor defense and real bad offense." But, SOX WIN! Monday, Barry Zito comes into the night 0-3 & with a Shingo-like ERA, but magically regains his Cy Young form for the first six innings. Jon Garland is throwing a career game though, and its 0-0 in the 7th. Chris Widger hadn't hit a ML HR since AUGUST 9th, 2000. So last night, he takes Zito deep and gone to left for a 2-0 lead, AJ goes and gets the HR ball from a fan and gives it to his substitute Widger, and the Sox keep going for a 6-0 win. Ozuna is 2/3 w/ 2 runs. Garland goes the CG, retiring the last 13 straight A's, and is 4-0. Once again for effect, Zito is 0-4, Garland is 4-0. SOX WIN! So in the last three days, Pablo, Widger, Crede, Willie, PK, Rowand, AJ, Carl, Uribe, Pods, Cotts, Vizcaino, Shingo, Marte, El Duque, and Garland have all been heroes at various points, and for better or for worse, our manager went on a expletive-filled tirade against a former player. The Sox have now won 8 in a row, and are now at 16-4 (.800), and 5 games ahead of Minnesota. Why complain about anything right now? Everyone saying, "it's a long season, blah blah blah troubles me, or blah blah blah will come back and bite us, or blah blah blah Ozzie better learn," could very well be proven right, but they're also right in saying it's a long season, so therefore IMHO there will be plenty of occasion throughout this long season to get back to complaining, right now, THIS IS TOO MUCH FUN!

PABLO!

QUOTE(whitesoxfan13 @ Apr 25, 2005 -> 04:13 PM) Tiggers beat the Twins 6-4. Yes! 4 1/2 gms up

EDIT: Now 6-4 Detroit, throwing error on wonderchild Mauer allows a run, 3 Minnesota errors today. Going to the 9th.

Twins now lead 4-3 going to the Detroit 7th. Farnsworth came in and gave up the lead in the 7th. Radke gave up 3 in the 1st, but nothing since (although the Tigers have 7 LOB though 6).

Wow, the Sox are probably barely in the air getting out of KC, 27 hours to go, and a game thread! Excited? LOL!

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 24, 2005 -> 05:30 PM) "BOW DOWN, b****ES!!!"

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Apr 24, 2005 -> 05:11 PM) Ditto. 4 errors, all those walks... That's a winning formula. And a manager botching the bullpen, and a guy at 1st at the end of the game that had never played there (but then makes a huge defensive play), and emptying the entire bench.

HELL YEAH! 15-4

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Apr 24, 2005 -> 05:10 PM) 4 errors and a scrub ass lineup? I dont believe it either but a win is a motherf***ing win. 15 & 4 BABY!!! 4 GAMES UP IN FIRST. And with Ozzie botching up the bullpen. (I don't usually complain about Ozzie, but he screwed up with Politte today)

Once again, how did we win that game?

YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SWEEP!

Brilliant play diving to his backhand by Pablo and then finding Shingo at the bag. 2 down!

HE GAWN! 1 down

Crede's hitting streak............

THAT A BOY AROW!!! We can still win this, somehow, LOL! And Pablo drive in Paulie, AROW's out trying to score, but the Sox lead 4-3, YES!!!!
