QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 11:11 PM) He has a point, we need those upgrades, at RF/C/DH if we're gonna stick with Morel at 3B. Exactly...if you want to start Morel, Viciedo, and Sale next year, then let Konerko go and rebuild.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 11:59 PM) Why trade your talent? You buld around your talent not trade them away Next year it should be Morel at 3B Paulie at 1B Alexei at SS Beckham at 2B AJP at C Viciedo at DH Rios in CF CQ in RF Pierre maybe in LF Is our goal to get 3rd place in the AL Central?

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 11:47 PM) You mean Kenny's teams. He signed those guys. And Ozzie coaches them. Ozzie's strategy this season was supposed to keep everyone fresh. Instead, we see a team that has absolutely quit down the stretch. I don't even think LaRussa is a great coach. Rather, I think Ozzie's time has run out with the Sox and it's time for a change.

I give DAllen so much credit for stating how big of a disaster the Manny acquisition would be. Needless to say, Manny will not be back next season unless he goes Tulo over the next two weeks.

Wow, fans are booing Manny big time!

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 11:30 PM) Would you really want LaRussa over Guillen ? In a heartbeat...there is nothing that Ozzie does anymore that can be considered above average. I guarantee you that at least LaRussa would manage like we're an AL team. I'm also sick and tired of Ozzie's teams fading down the stretch.

Another bullpen collapse. For the love of Tulo, shut down Santos and Sale, Ozzie! Pitching Sale on consecutive days is just so f***ing retarded right now by the Sox organization.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 10:24 PM) Because I would rather have Cooper as our pitching coach than LaRussa as our manager. It's not like Duncan is bad. If anything, it might help some of our pitchers develop better sinkers.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 02:45 AM) Troy Tulowitzki needs to f***ing stop it. He's not listening to you!

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 02:52 AM) Was nice of Uehara to throw a fastball down the pipe. His change up is deadly and would of gotten Arod there. The quality of the teams in the posteseason this year is going to be really great. Should be exciting games to watch.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 02:49 AM) Rock, let me ask you this, does the fact that the Twins have struggled in the playoffs make you any less frustrated about how they've been able to clown us most of the last 10 years? Because it doesn't give me any satisfaction at all. For me, it's like if my college team loses in the first round of the NCAA Tournament to another team, and that team goes on to lose in the next round. That doesn't make me feel any better about my team not advancing.

Teahen with the same amount of strike outs tonight as he has homers all season. What a disgraceful effort on this home stand.

Quite a scene in Baltimore tonight with ARod hitting a very clutch home run.

Nice swing by Viciedo there...hopefully he gets to start the rest of the games.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 03:42 AM) I still can't get over the fact that both Carlos Torres and Lucas Harrell pitched for a team that had the audacity to claim they were a contender. Guys like that come from the Pirates or Royals organizations. There's an alarming lack of talent on the White Sox, majors and minors, right now. I saw some of your posts in the minor league thread, and I loved them. I know there's some very intelligent people on this site when it comes to prospects, and there's also some that get way too excited about mediocre prospects putting up numbers in a good hitter's park while being 3-4 years old for the league. With that said, look for the Sox farm system to be ranked among the bottom 3 when the rankings come out from Baseball America next season. Besides for Sale, there is no one near being a highly-regarded pitching prospect in the Sox system.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 02:37 AM) Who the heck would want him? What Major League team at this point would want him on their 25-man roster next year? The Marlins led by Ozzie Guillen???????????????????????????????

Let Infante get some experience. I'll be happy to never see that awful, terrible, no good cutter from Torres ever again.

The Sox really need to give up hope of Torres ever pitching in the big leagues. He has so mediocre. And jeez Teahen, you are so freaking worthless. FIRE OZZIE! He said that if anyone quits down the stretch, they won't be back with the team. He's quit more than anyone.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 02:19 AM) Not anything compared to what he will have as a start. That's not the point at all

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 02:14 AM) Exactly, couldn't agree more. But that makes him useless as a bench player as well, if he can't do anything particularly well, or in his case, even league-average. So what to do with this guy for the next two years? That is the question. Include him in a deal with someone like Danks for a team that can take on money.

Kotsay with a fantastic game tonight! If Viciedo really is the 1b of the future, then put him in the f***ing lineup. There's absolutely no reason to be playing Kotsay the rest of this season.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 03:10 AM) This Teahen guy is just a mess of a player. He's a zero tool player.

Crowd booing Teahen...KW, you suck just as much as Ozzie.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 03:08 AM) My dad and his buddies have the over. They will be sweating it out. After thinking about the top of the 7th some more, I'm even more pissed off. Ozzie clearly doesn't care about winning tonight (nor should he), as we have split-squad lineup on the field. With that in mind, at the first sign of possible injury to one of your starters, you get him the f*** off the mound!

Haha, Sale's coming in now. I guess Ozzie decided to not have him come in to face the lefty Avila? Nothing like pitching our best reliever when down 4. Maybe Ozzie has the Sox at under 83 1/2 wins this season, and he's doing his best to ensure we come under that?
