I can't believe my thread was deleted.

McCarthy looks great. How much longer can Ozzie really wait before moving this guy into the starting rotation. He's would totally be a #1 pitcher on any other team.

QUOTE(cgaudin @ Aug 22, 2006 -> 05:00 PM) All things being equal, the Tigers are due..... Yeah, you're probably right.

They didn't just lose they got their asses kicked. And they also lost 2 out of 3 to the team chasing them in the wild card over the weekend. This has been a rough stretch for WhiteSox baseball and instead of pretending it's not going on, you should just hope they can turn the corner soon. It's not the end of the world, but their play has been poor lately and I hope and know in my heart of hearts that they will be able to turn it around. I don't see how they don't win the next three in Detroit. The Sox just own the Tigers.

I'm excited to see how much more damage the Royals can do. The Sox must have done something to light a fire under these guys during the beating they handed them on monday. I'm gonna guess AJ said something and now the Royals are FIRED up. Maybe they have all that bulletin board material with all the newspapers calling them a AA team. I wonder why they are not only not laying down for the Sox, but bashing their brains in. It really is a mystery.

THIS IS AWESOME TO WATCH!!!!!!

This has been beautiful to watch.

QUOTE(iamshack @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 07:20 PM) Well, something I didn't know.... Who are the first two guys? Are we talking about Broadway and Pods? Josh Fields and Jenks. Macdougle has been brought in to be the new closer. Ozzie is said to be pretty unhappy with Jenks weight problems and is looking to get more lean. At least that's what I heard on the Score today.

Brian Anderson's defense in CF is the reason the Sox are where they are this year. They owe it to him to stick with him in center. Doing anything else would be rediculous.

I guess were both just assuming. We'll see which of us is closer after the night is through. I'm guessing Santana goes about 4 and 1/3 6 runs, 2K's

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 07:04 PM) Nah. Contreras is looking to put the game into his own hand, so he's going to bat for himself. Thome's taking a night off. Three of the homers will be from the Count, and one will be inside the park. You're a mad man.

I think that talent is showing just how great they are. Last year was great and no one can take those memories from us. However, I also think it should be noted that perhaps this is as good as the team can do. I'll be perfectly happy seeing them go 10+ games over .500 and missing the playoffs. It was a fun season. They just aren't that good. They'll still have flashes of brilliance here and there (I'm expecting it tonight) but this team is just a third place team in the divison. I tip my cap to the other squads better than us and eagerly await a busy off season and another exciting year next season.

It's the american league. He doesn't bat. He's just responsible for the goose egg put up by the Twins. The hungry offense that's ready to remind the league of how powerful it really is will take care of the HR's.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 06:37 PM) Sometimes, I honestly wonder whether or not you actually watch baseball. How someone can follow pro baseball, see the pitching matchup going tonight, and then predicting, It blows my mind. I said he was due for an offday and this is the sort of lineup where if you serve it up to them, they will eat you up. Off day by a pitcher + A team hungry for a win + The real best pitcher in baseball takig the mound for our side = Sox 16 Twins - 0

QUOTE(rudylaw @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 06:22 PM) Sox are also due for a win. Does not mean it is going to happen. Combine Santna's imment off day with the White Sox imminent victory and what you have is a beautiful game to watch tonight. I can't wait to see it. I'll be sure to be home early so I can be parked in front of my TV with a Schweppes ginger ale for the pre game.

Santana is due for a bad outing. It's a good thing we're getting him tonight. Look for the Sox to jump all over him early and often. This one should be a laugher and hopefully by the end of the night when Soriano officially becomes a member of the White Sox there will be alot less whiners around here. Sox - 16 (7 HR's) Twins - 0 Contrerras complete game shut out.

I think they should let Brian Anderson pitch. He is the only thing that can save this team. They need to get themessiahmore involved in games.

It's a beautiful thing.
