Time to tie this game while this mediocre starter is still in the game.

Swing the freaking bat Swisher. The thing that pisses me off is we're benching a red hot Konerko to play this overrated player.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 31, 2008 -> 12:08 AM) Alexei with a good AB there. Put him in the freaking 2nd spot

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Aug 31, 2008 -> 01:03 AM) So what you're saying is... Steve Stone should be our manager

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 31, 2008 -> 01:02 AM) Before the game Steve Stone was talking about our guys being patient, and taking pitches as we have a rookie making his major league debut. Farmer said, so what do you think is going to happen. Well, they will probably swing at the first pitch and be aggressive, but hopefully I am wrong. Whomever comes up with our strategy against rookie pitchers needs to find another job because we have the worst approach against kids, its almost like we are the rookies. I hope I'm wrong, but these guys seem to be mentally tired.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Aug 31, 2008 -> 12:00 AM) If you guys could have any player from the Red Sox, who would it be? I'd take Pedroia, then move Ramirez to SS. Nice play by Junior. I'd take Varitek, because you know, he's an All-star

Actually a very nice catch by Griffey.

You suck OC

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Aug 30, 2008 -> 11:51 PM) The Rays and Red Sox are just simply better teams then we are. End of story. The White Sox are more talented than both of these teams with their current injuries. When all three teams are full strength, I would agree with you. However, the White Sox are playing the worst of the three.

Buehrle's ERA is now over 5 since the ASB.

We're looking at being 2 out after Monday if things don't turn around quickly. That pitching match-up on Monday is possibly the worst in Sox history.

How come s***ty speedy leadoff hitters like Ellsbury, Gomez, and Taveras mess us up?

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Aug 31, 2008 -> 12:43 AM) Right. Let's just give up now, let him give up 8 runs in 4 innings. If your #1 gives up 8 runs, you don't deserve to win. There's been concerns about Carrasco and Thornton's workload recently, so why waste them if the game is out of hand?

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Aug 31, 2008 -> 12:43 AM) it's like trying to watch 2 retards hump a door knob out in right and center. (No offense to anyone, I watched Dodgeball last night, haha) Shocking

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Aug 30, 2008 -> 11:40 PM) This is brutal. Get DJC up right now. Screw that...make Buehrle suck up the innings tonight.

Sox now have 2 starting pitchers with an ERA under 4, while the Twins have all 5 of their starters under 4.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Aug 30, 2008 -> 11:39 PM) yay we gave the run back we just got. Some very unimpressive pitching performances of late.

Swisher with an 8 game strikeout string going. I was looking at his stats this year, and it's shocking how low his doubles total is.

The great Egbert has allowed 4 runs in the 1st tonight.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Aug 30, 2008 -> 11:33 PM) I thought Griffey got more than that ball. He has warning track power now. I really hope for his legacy he retires after this season.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Aug 31, 2008 -> 12:17 AM) Mark Kotsay owns us. I think they picked him up just for this series. haha Must be in crucial spots, as he is a career .268 hitter vs the Sox with 12 RBI.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Aug 31, 2008 -> 12:22 AM) that was terrible Dye, this is reminding me of 2003's outfield of Lee, Everett, Ordonez. Honestly, if we keep putting Griffey out there in CF, we deserve to give up tons of doubles.

QUOTE (letsgoarow @ Aug 31, 2008 -> 12:24 AM) should i even bother watching The A's game? Of course!

This team just has no chance on the road against quality competition.

I hate playing at Fenway more than playing at the Twinkie Dome.
