QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Sep 27, 2008 -> 12:31 AM) nice play OC, idiot What happened?

Really wish they would have played German at 3rd and not Gordon tonight.

Nearly every single pitch Danks has thrown so far has been up in the zone.

It seems like forever since a Sox hitter took advantage of being up in the count and punished the ball.

Not good that our hitters are getting jammed by an 86 mph fastball. Lewis throws a lot of hittable pitches it seems.

We're hitting some rockets so far.

That didn't take long....1-0 Indians.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Sep 26, 2008 -> 05:38 PM) I disagree as well. I found the episode quite funny. Earl, on the other hand, I thought sucked last night Just watched it again, and it was significantly better. My wife pointed out a big continuity error with Michael's goatee. He went from having it to not to having it and then not.

Things are getting very ugly between Ozzie and OC. I really, really hope this s*** doesn't prevent us from offering him arbitration. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/baseball/wh...-ssep26.article

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Sep 26, 2008 -> 08:40 PM) Hence the reason they have the same # of wins we do. If those 3 games are played at the Cell, we don't get swept. Simple as that really. Both teams sucked ass and had injuries. We had more/worse injuries and psyched ourselves out of winning in the dome. I totally agree with this. The turning point of the game yesterday was Gavin laying in a cookie for Gomez to triple in a run with 2 outs in the 4th inning.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Sep 26, 2008 -> 08:30 PM) Fact: the Twins have 0 rings. Sox have 1. Fact: Twins have 6 wins in 17 PS games and 1 series win. Sox have 11 wins in 12 games. with 3 series wins. The loss of Q, Linebrink, Jenks, Contrerass, and Crede cost us the season. Nothing else, there is no overcoming the extent of those losses, i don't care what anyone says. It's not like the Twins haven't had their fair share of injuries either. They've been without their main set-up man for the whole season (Neshek), and they lost their 3rd best offensive player in Cuddyer for a majority of the year. I firmly believe that Span is their MVP.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 26, 2008 -> 06:51 PM) Its a hunch. He pitched in 3 innings last night. That's 34 pitches, plus three innings worth of warm ups. But he didn't pitch in the 3 days prior. I think he can give us one inning tonight if needed.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 26, 2008 -> 06:45 PM) Jenks isn't going to be available for at least tonights game. Is that just a hunch? I would predict he'll pitch if it's a save situation.

The White Sox played 8 teams in the Majors this season with a record over .500 at the end of the season. Their cumulative road record vs Tampa, Boston, New York, Toronto, Minnesota, Angels, Cubs, and a Manny-less Dodgers was: 8 and 29

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 26, 2008 -> 06:40 PM) Ozzie ball is execution ball. That's what this team lacks a lot of. Ozzie ball is a freaking myth.

Ozzie sat on his ass waiting for the 3 run homer this series. I can't remember the last time a Sox player had a clutch homer in Minnesota. There were a few times where he had someone like Wise or OC on first base with no outs, and he didn't put any plays on. It just seemed like the Sox had their ass kicked in terms of scouting this series. I was impressed when Gardy called an 0-2 pitch out when the Sox had a runner on 1st with 2 outs. Even though the runner didn't try and steal, all Sox fans know that is Ozzie's favorite time to have a runner take off. Also, why was Jermaine Dye playing every hitter on the warning track in right field. At that place, any ball hit with authority will be a homer over the short porch.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Sep 26, 2008 -> 07:22 PM) Until this season the Twins have been wildly inconsistent. Us too but we've been hurt more by injuries. The teams as they are right now...about even, just very different. I mean, that staff of theirs is pretty horrid guys. In road games that totally cancels out the execution w/ their bats. The White Sox staff isn't exactly lighting it up. Danks and Buehrle have been good recently. Vazquez has been terrible, and Floyd's ERA seems to continue to rise towards the 4.00 mark.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Sep 26, 2008 -> 04:59 PM) and Lee isn't pitching fo the Indians Here is the line-up I would throw out there for all four (hopefully 3) games and say get it done you are all veterans Swisher-Cabrera-Thome-Dye-Griffey-Konerko-Ramirez -AJ-Uribe Bullpen for all three games Dotel - Thorton - Linebrink - Jenks, that's it. Just say no to Griffey starting vs LHP.

QUOTE (HeGone33 @ Sep 26, 2008 -> 05:33 PM) Source? Rotoworld yesterday

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Sep 26, 2008 -> 04:44 PM) So if the Sox have a chance to sweep, then he will pitch in order to be a spoiler? If the game matters towards the AL Central standings, he will pitch.

The more time passes this month, the more frustrated I get that we never gave Poreda a chance to be a valuable member of our bullpen. I don't care if his slider sucks...a mid 90s sinker can be very effective one time through the order. Look at the Twins...they just put Mijares right into the mix, and he's been golden for them.

I heard some rumblings that AJP was upset with Cabrera's comments, and said that OC would know nothing about guys like Konerko, Thome, Dye, and himself since he's never around them. Sure sounds like a tight clubhouse.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 26, 2008 -> 04:16 PM) I wonder if Greinke will do the same?...sounds like that's a much more unlikely scenario at this point. No, he's shut down for the season.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 26, 2008 -> 04:15 PM) I'm not following? I'm sure he's referring to Danks.

I heard Lee will pitch if the game means anything.
