fathom

Ozzie has to get someone up in the pen. Javy had another chance to dispell the myth that he has no balls, and once again, is failing.

That was unexpected seeing Wise's homer pop up on yahoo.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 07:09 PM) I am not trying to beat a dead horse or get up on my high horse but I sit in left field in the third row right behind DeWayne Wise. He can not judge a fly ball he freezes on every single ball put in play. Nice job Javy. Yes, he caught a fly ball hit by Casilla on Tuesday that he didn't even move on for a few seconds after it was hit.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 07:06 PM) This is the playoffs, and Ozzie has Wise in left-field. That's just hilarious, only the White Sox would ever even consider something as foolish as that in the post-season I'm more irritated he's batting 2nd than anything else. Oh well, this offense needs to get it going.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 08:04 PM) fathom defend him now. lol goddamnit wise Defend Wise? Hell no, Swisher should be out there. I've been saying it for a while.

Can someone describe what happened?

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 08:00 PM) Haha. Settle down guys. You know what our deficiencies are. We did a great job to make the postseason. Try to enjoy this s*** instead of getting all pissed off in the second inning. It's amazing we even made the f***ing playoffs with our injuries. Enjoy the show. Amen!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 07:58 PM) Please save all the "we miss CQ" yap. This isn't basketball where one guy can be the difference between winning it all and losing in the first round. Do we miss him? Of course. But please don't use that as some excuse every time the offense look like s***. Agreed, and let's stop making Wise the fall guy. The entire offense needs to pick it up...they've been really mediocre against starting pitching for a long time now.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 07:58 PM) Haven't you read the papers? Oz is mad at Swish for brooding about playing time. Sun Times mentioned it again today. For the 100th time, Ozzie is playing Wise in LF because he doesn't feel like Swisher has the speed to help Griffey when he's out in CF. Ozzie said before the series that you will always see Wise in LF if Griffey is playing.

There's nothing worse than being stuck at work getting play-by-play about a Sox game from Cubs fans.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 05:11 PM) Definitely relaxed. Honestly, I'm just happy to be here. Once God went down, I didn't think we had the team to get here. I'm definitely the same. I feel like the fat girl at the prom...just happy to be there. I don't mind Tampa at all, so I will root for them if they beat the Sox. I've told my friends that the Tuesday game was my Super Bowl. Anything else is gravy.

QUOTE (JDsDirtySox @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 04:46 AM) I loved how after we made the last out of the 8th... when Bobby's music hit... the place went nuts. All I could think of was Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn in Major League. It is always fun to see Bobby come into the game, but last night gave me goose bumps. Also loved seeing Carlos Gomez suck at the plate... man I hate that kid. Didn't the bottom of the 8th seem to last forever?

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 02:58 AM) The Anderson catch for sure. It made it extra special that my only black jersey in Anderson, so it was on my back. I was getting huge pats on the back after the HR, and the walk down the ramps. It was just an amazing game. Every pitch was so vital, the entire game. I felt worn out when the game was over. I felt drained in the 4th inning yesterday. I got my second wind, and the adrenaline kept me going until I got home. After that, I felt like I had been in a boxing match. I woke up this morning thinking "was that a dream yesterday, it was just too damn perfect".

HELL YES! Great first game.

Soriano will not get a good crowd reaction if he makes an out here.

Strike 4

Wow, that looked like strike 3 to Derosa.

Ugh, why would you bring in Maddux here? If you're having Saito warm up, just bring him in.

Even the Dodgers routine fly balls seem to be close to going out.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 01:32 AM) my my,a bit touchy I see No, just saying there's no reason to jinx things.

Are the Dodgers using aluminum bats?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 02:30 AM) Billingsley has actually been better than Zambrano this year It would be nice if the wind is blowing in tomorrow.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 02:30 AM) You could always count on the Cubs to under perform,Dempster was terrible out there Seriously, can we stop with these posts for now?

QUOTE (chisox72 @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 02:28 AM) Zambrano will put a TON more pressure on himself to go out and succeed tomorrow night, and he won't likely handle it well. He hasn't been that great since his no-hitter. I could see him doing a complete meltdown job on the mound. That being said, this is rather amusing. Every single one of us, I am sure, have Cub fan friends who spent the last few days telling us how easy this series was going to be and that they were going to sweep the Dodgers. Actually, a lot of Cubs fans told me that they don't care who they play. They were like "bring them on, no one can beat us".

Jeez, I thought that was way out. How did Loney's get out, and that one stay in?
