QUOTE (Wanne @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 03:03 AM) f*** me I wish one of these years the media will start to question why does the team fade down the stretch every f***ing season? There's been enough turnover with the personnel that you can't blame specific players.

Haha, awful. Not even coming close to hitting the ball hard. When you consider the terrible announcing tonight, this might be the most annoying game of the season.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 03:01 AM) I think he is still hurting. Definitely

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 03:00 AM) Putting it in play, I'd say. Plain and simple, Manny has no power left. But I agree with you that the Sox should have just shut up and let him hit the way he wanted to.

Please hit a home run Morel.

BTW, that was a perfect example of Quentin's issues against LHP. Great pitch to hit, timed it well, but couldn't get anything into the swing. Greg Walker really sucks at his job.

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 02:57 AM) For the second straight game, I'm checking midway -- and noticing the same thing. M. Ramirez = 0 hits. Let me say it again: since the papers noted that he had no extra-base hits -- and since Hawk noted that Walker had made some recommendations to help him drive the ball -- he is HITLESS. I think he's 0-13 now, and I'm serious. But you could also say that most of hits were lucky flares that weren't exactly signs he was swinging the bat well.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 02:57 AM) It would have picked up if we won tonight. 5 games back with 3 to go against the Twins. Not if we don't score. No, it wouldn't have. No one will go on Sunday with the Bears game on. Sox fans have thrown in the towel, which is only fitting cause the team seems to have also.

28k attendance....not going to make up that 4 million investment in Manny.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 02:52 AM) The last 4 games this offense is right up there with the worst in the league Unfortunately, this happens far too often in September. Once it cools down and the ball stops jumping, we can't hit the long ball and the entire team seems to go into a slump.

Haha, no power anymore. Buehrle better not be pitching next inning. No reason to keep killing our starters with high pitch count games when they're struggling.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 01:49 AM) If Ozzie was GM, a lot of this dead weight would be off the team HA! Thanks sin, that was the funniest thing I've heard all season.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 01:46 AM) #163 Good call Blaze...and nice AB from Rios. Pitches down the plate are overrated.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 01:44 AM) uh....how about at least attempting to block the plate AJ There's a reason we have to have the least amount of outs at the plate over the last 5 or 6 years. Hell, I can't remember the last time we threw a runner out at home on a close play.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 01:42 AM) Sox just look so flat. Be a miracle if we come back and win this one. But Ozzie does a great job of keeping our players motivated. 4 straight just flat and heartless efforts. Teams looks like they're ready to hit the golf course.

And we're probably going to lose now. Just a sad performance by Buehrle against a very weak hitting team.

Of course...seriously, stop giving him pitches to hit with RISP and open base. Awful stretch by Buehrle there, as he gave a terrible hitter a great pitch to hit on 1-2, and then he failed to hold him on.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 01:38 AM) You might want to focus on other sports. Might we recommend the 4x100 men's relay?

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 01:37 AM) If you had 3 speedier guys to bat at the top of the lineup, that would be a scary offense. You must love watching college softball games where they slap bunt the whole time.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 01:33 AM) I think Ozzie could do a great job wearing both hats You do know that he said earlier this year that Juan Pierre would be batting 4th in his ideal lineup. The media asked him 3 times if he was joking, and he said no. He would make Hawk Harrelson look like the greatest GM ever.

Haha, you have to be kidding me. Hell of a play by Fields.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 01:32 AM) Any chance Ozzie is named GM/manager? Kill me

QUOTE (CWSOX45 @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 01:30 AM) Interesting. I hadn't heard that being out east. I actually like the role Hahn is in now. Hahn will either take Sox GM job this offseason or he'll go elsewhere. Definitely a hot commodity.

That's the Fields we all remember!

QUOTE (WinorDie88 @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 01:27 AM) Is it Garcia or Hernandez? I'm pretty sure I heard Stone call him Hernandez. It's Hernandez...Angel Garcia is a basketball player for Memphis.
