QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 05:36 PM) McCarthy didn't help the Sox get to where they are now, so he won't be in the playoffs. Ozzie loves his veterans, and he definitely doesn't seem to be McCarthy's biggest fan. If McCarthy gives up 4 or more runs tonight, he won't start for the Sox again this season. Ozzie called McCarthy the next Jack Black didnt he and he said that if he could B-Mac would of made the team out of spring training..... I think he likes the kid a lot. Its just that Duque is a veteran and they brought him in for the stretch and playoffs so Ozzie wanted to give him every last chance.

The Bengals are very suspect vs the run. Even though their arent that many rushing yards against them that is because they get ahead fast and force the other team to pass. But Bennett with not many carries ran through them with ease and Drougns had like a 6 yard avg. so running the ball should be our goal. But to be able to run the ball our defense has to stop them early... So shutdown Chad Johnson and stop the running game and it will be hard for them to move it. While Detroit has more depth and talent at WR the Bengals have CJ and another veteran Housmandezeh. Also Palmer is so much better than Harrington so he wont throw 5 picks. Our offense is going to be important in this game more than ever because our defense will have a very tough time stopping them at full energy let alone if they are tired. Our D-Line needs to get some pressure on the QB because with Johnson in the secondary you dont want to blitz.

It was a good game but it was very depressing after Marte got the 2nd out to see Jenks come in and give up that single. Also than we had a leadoff double by Ozuna and Dye failed to move him over which would of tied it at that time.. Oh well I think most people expected us to lose that game we should have the pitching advantage these 2 games.

If Buehrle loses this game because he has pitched bad ill be very down on him. He needs to go 7 innings only allowing 1-2 runs and this is the biggest game of the season for him. We faced their toughest pitcher and had a chance to win. These 2 games we have the better pitches for both games so if this team is still alive they will win the next 2 games.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 04:43 AM) Didn't see it myself since I'm at Uni, but it hasn't been a good day. I hope Parcells is chewing out their asses right now, especially who was covering Moss. But yes sounded like a stupid call, John Shoop like (you see there's some Bears knowledge for ya). For both Moss catches he had Roy Williams and Aaron Glenn on him. I know for the fact for the 2nd one both were and im pretty sure for the first one 2. Both times it was double coverage.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 04:11 AM) Santana Moss just got 2 TD receptions to put Washington in front in the 4thQ. Oh boy. Wow what a choke job by the Cowboys. Worse call was on 4th down you throw a pass short of the 1st down marker I dont know what they were thinking.

Dbajo is a little cowboys biased but everyone is when it comes to their favorite team especially in the NFL when its any given sunday. As far as his knowledge of the Bears he seems to know them fairly well. Being Bears fans we should know more about our team but I too think Orton and Grossman should be open competition next season so dont know whats the problem with that.

What are the pitching matchups for the series? I know Game 1 is Garcia vs Millwood but after that?

QUOTE(YTOWN @ Sep 19, 2005 -> 12:39 AM) SoxFan101. I was coming here to talk the series; but comments like SoxMan's will get me to tick. So if you damn members won't be saying stuff like that; I won't. I am well known on the Indians board; but when comments like that are said; I won't let them go by. Well this is a white sox board you should expect stuff like that coming here lol. Anyways if you keep it up your most likely going to be gone so keep a cool head and dont makes post talking s*** if Cleveland beats us. Just talk regular baseball and all is fine. We have a twins fan here so we can co-exist

QUOTE(YTOWN @ Sep 19, 2005 -> 12:31 AM) Soxman. Last time I checked OHIO was the 7th largest state and it doesn't have toothlick hicks like your "POVERTED" South Siders have. GO TRIBE! Are you trying to get Banned. I like when fans of other teams join here and just want to talk baseball. But when you make fun of us do you really expect to stay here long? And how exactly are we toothlick hicks.

Hopefully this meltdown of El Duque shows that in the off-season of the 2 cubans he has to be the one that goes even if we get less in return and pay some of his contract.

This series is very important. We have to at least win 1 game or we will be in deep s*** but if we win 2 than I might start feeling comfortable again.

I really think that the Steelers are going to dominate the Patriots. The Pats didnt look 2 good against the Raiders even though they won and than Panthers just beat them pretty bad even though Delhomme gave them a gift TD.

Holy crap that hit Mike Brown did on Pollard made Briggs hit last week look weak. Than the very next play Urlacher owns Harrington and he throws an int. I thought we would win but this is crazy. Although I think we really need to draft a TE or CB in the 1st two rounds and than maybe a LB too.

We win this game today and ill believe... we lost and i might start doubting..... this is a big game... a win would give us some confidence going into the Tribe Series.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 06:00 PM) Detroit's defense is terrible...one of the absolute worst in the NFL. They make the Redskins look like the Steel Curtain. Yes, the Packers are that bad if they could only put up 3 points against this squad: DE: HOLE DT: Marcus Bell (Solid) DT: Shaun Rogers (All-Pro Caliber) DE: James Hall (Solid) OLB: Boss Bailey (Solid) MLB: HOLE OLB: HOLE CB: Fernando Bryant (Solid) CB: Dre Bly (Solid) SS: Kenoy Kennedy (Solid) FS: HOLE In theory, you should be able to pass all day against this team and run for a lot of yards outside of the DEs. But the Bears offense would have a hard time against some NFL Europe teams, so a win is nowhere near a sure thing. Well right now their other DT is Dan Wilkinson I thought gets the majority of the playing time. Also I think Bly has proven he is all pro calibur with his last 2 seasons he had.

QUOTE(Spod=Ratings @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 12:12 AM) ron zook punts when we are down by 15 with 4 minutes to go in cal territory????? Everyone knows he is a good recruiter just like everyone knows he is a s***ty in-game coach.

yeah its not really a question... Portis is the better back, has the better O-Line, and is going against the weaker defense.

who cares about a 7th round rookie FB?

Id think id take the color picture in this case.

My Prediction: Bears 17 Lions 10 Orton 200 passing yards TJ 80 rushing yards Benson 30 rushing yards Muhsin 70 recieving yards Bradley 90 recieving yards and a TD

Im taking a new aproach. Im going that were first place and until/if we lose that im not going to be mad no matter what.

Lets have a Magglio and Clee Banner

I liked how he waited till the end, like it was said b4 he wasnt allowed to talk back to TO the whole game per Mora's orders so he waited until the end when TO couldnt do anything back. And I do bet TO was trash talking to him the whole time.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 06:10 AM) I actually meant he is one of our worst players on the base paths. My point still stands that he is not a very good base stealer. Idonno he just seems so streaky on the basepaths 2 me. He will steal 10 in a row than get caught like 5 times in a row or something on those lines. He also has hurt his back so that probably is affecting his baserunning some though. Last year he had more SB's and less CS so I think him being hurt is a big part of it.
