Twins game tied at 1 now. Carlos Gomez with the 2 out RBI.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Sep 11, 2008 -> 12:41 AM) just stay out of the game threads....we do better when you are gone You mean like yesterday's day game?

Nice 7 pitch inning...a complete shock.

Both teams are playing fantastic defense so far. Hey Jerry, that's gone in Charlotte!

Great...we work Halladay in the first inning, and then we have Uribe swinging at the first pitch in the 2nd inning.

Swisher looks very unconfident at the plate.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 11, 2008 -> 12:25 AM) Alexei is just off right now. How sad is it that it is after September call-ups, and we can't find anyone to give him a day off?

Wow Alexei, that was just terrible. Maybe the worst swing of the season.

1-0 Sox on a great piece of hitting by Thome after a great AB by Dye.

That was a very interesting top of the 1st inning.

I really don't get why we don't let Carrasco start.

Supposedly Ozzie told the media that Wise and Owens will play a lot more now due to their bunting ability.

QUOTE (letsgoarow @ Sep 10, 2008 -> 09:49 PM) lol your awesome. What does that mean?

For those that didn't see the other thread, Broadway is starting on Sunday.

It's like we don't want to try and win the division. The way we're handling our personnel is so discouraging. Hopefully it rains.

This game will be over by 9:20. I'm not surprised Owens is playing. The worms on the infield at the Cell are on red alert.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Sep 10, 2008 -> 05:54 PM) It's bizarre enough that a guy most of us wanted on the bench has been saving our asses since August 1st. It'd be even more incredible if he can miraculously come back from what looked to a horrible injury and carry us to the playoffs. It would just add to the already immense legend of Paul Konerko. It would be a big boost, as funny as it sounds, if he was able to return in a few days.

So what were the two words at the end of the episode they hyped up?

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ Sep 10, 2008 -> 03:14 AM) From my perspective, this team isn't winning the World Series so I could give a s*** what their record is in relation to the Twins. You've said yourself the Sox don't have a shot at winning the World Series without CQ. What's the point of worrying about the standings when you know it doesn't matter in the end? It would be nice to see this team make the playoffs. Making the playoffs and losing 30-0 in 3 games is better than any scenario in which the team doesn't make the playoffs. You also never know when ownership will decide to slash payroll in the offseason.

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ Sep 10, 2008 -> 03:05 AM) It'd be the exact same. WTF is the difference? Who cares if we're up 1 or down 1 now? Are you excited about this team's prospects going forward? I sure sleep a lot better at night when the Sox have a 1 game lead compared to being out a game and trying to figure out where they'll make the game up.

With all these injuries, I just pray that Cabrera doesn't get hurt. The worst thing in the world would be if he tore his ACL at the end of the year and then it became unrealistic for the Sox to offer him arbitration.

Ugh, it would be so nice to have Willie Harris on this roster.

Think on the bright side...we're still up 1 game! A week ago, that seemed to be a huge lead. I don't even want to think of how we'd be if the Sox were 1 game out.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Sep 10, 2008 -> 04:01 AM) Am I mixing up Paniagua experiences, was it the night he came in with a huge lead and nearly blew it, and went off on Manuel and flipped off the ump? Yes

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ Sep 10, 2008 -> 02:58 AM) What? The season ended with CQ's injury assuming you had winning the World Series as your goal. Backing into the playoffs isn't anything to write home about. Wait until Tony sees this one. I just want this team to make the playoffs. Not for one second has it seemed like this is the White Sox's year to win the World Series.
