QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 02:18 AM) Not really, even with his ups and downs he gives innings and typically keeps the club in the games. Plus his contract is what I'd call affordable given his performance. The only way I could see him elsewhere is if the Sox dealt him for some significant parts. But if you have a manager openly questioning a key players ability to step up in the clutch, it just makes me think that if things go bad, they'll look in another direction this offseason. It really doesn't bother me either way they choose.

Anyone think this could be the beginning of the end of Javy's White Sox career?

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Sep 22, 2008 -> 11:01 PM) More overreacting to a couple bad games. He has been manager for almost 5 seasons now, he owns: well over a .500 record, 1 bad season which you can't blame on him anyway, 2 90+ win seasons, 1 playoff berth that should have been/be 3, and 1 championship. What constitutes a "good" manager in your eyes? And why's that?

I was at the Melido Perez no-hitter there.

Just win one game.

I feel bad for Peanut honestly. He'll take this loss harder than anyone.

Hey jphat, there's your shutout! Enjoy the next 52 hours before the series of the season starts.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 09:30 PM) As disappointing as the Sox can be at times, I am grateful they are not the bears. Such an overrated organization. Has anyone underachieved at their job more than the new defensive coordinator? I'm sure even SSI would say that Greg Walker is better at his job.

66 pass attempts for Tampa, and not a single sack for the Bears.

Yep, Bears lose. Fire the Defensive Coordinator before he even gets back to the locker room.

Bears about to lose. Peanut Tillman with the worst penalty I can remember in Bears history.

Peanut, you stupid motherf***er.

Oh boy, better not be a personal foul on the Bears.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 09:18 PM) OT...Rashied Davis sucks What happened on the 3rd down?

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 08:16 PM) Jenks When were you elected to the Hall of Fame? I'm upset you didn't have me give your introduction speech.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 09:14 PM) Ozzie is way over-managing this game. Who's in, Dotel or Jenks? If it's Dotel, I might punch my computer.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 08:11 PM) Dropped a pop-up. I am following the Bears online. The Bucs are just marching, huh? Huge intentional grounding call.

Well, we know Alexei works hard to have that terrible defensive zone rating.

Watching Bears, what did Alexei do now?

The Bears need to fire both their offensive and defensive coordinator the second this game ends.

Nice prevent defense by the Bears, but legitimately nice D by Alexei!

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 08:52 PM) I think Swisher got in a funk when he was put at the top of the batting order in the early in the season and has never recovered. Being asked to play a position that hasn't been your primary spot (centerfield) as well as hitting in a spot thats not right for your skills is a lot to ask of anyone. Lets see what he can do in 2009 when he should have the full season in the middle of the lineup (provided we have someone to bat leadoff other than Jerry Owens) That excuse might have lasted for a month. However, he's been significantly worse in the 2nd half of the season, and he hasn't sniffed the leadoff spot during that time.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 07:47 PM) If we could get in the playoffs it would be a new start for Swish .000 batting average entering the second season. He's not been real good thus far. He won't be playing

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 07:45 PM) Not sure if anyone mentioned it, but that was the first time I have seen Crede in the dugout in a long time. Good, I didn't see that. Wonder if he was at home in Missouri and decided to make the journey to the park.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 07:34 PM) No one else I'd rather have batting second here than Konerko.... This works!
