QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Sep 24, 2008 -> 12:47 AM) ...and later brought up his performances, or lack thereof, in big games. Yeah, those comments by Ozzie were mind-boggling. I still can't believe we didn't alter rotation to have two lefties face the Twins.

Yay, could have been worse. Remember, we have 3 games to win one! Also, Cliff Lee's magic is running out.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Sep 24, 2008 -> 01:45 AM) anyone else think Hawk is retarded?

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 24, 2008 -> 01:43 AM) Javy's never lost to Minnesota. Has Alexei ever dove for a ground ball? Never lost? He's 6-5 vs Twins in his career with an ERA near 5.

On the bright side, there's only one more Javy start for the Sox in his career during the regular season. There's no doubt in my mind he'll get traded this offseason.

Just remember this...our dumbass manager adjusted the rotation schedule so he could have Javy pitch here.

I love how Hawk b****ed that Javy hadn't thrown a change-up, and then after the homer, he says "Kubel probably has 3 homers against the Sox off of the change-up".

I hate you Javy. And Hawk...his change-up is not one of the best in the game.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Sep 24, 2008 -> 12:34 AM) Let's hope so, but lately it's the homerun or nothing. He might be tired or something, but his BA had dropped about 15 points He's dropping his back shoulder, which is making it impossible for him to hit line drives.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Sep 24, 2008 -> 01:33 AM) Griffey sucks,put Anderson out there,this could ve been a nice inning I'll take that inning.

QUOTE (Sox It To Em @ Sep 24, 2008 -> 01:32 AM) Not to beat a dead horse but remind me why Griffey is playing over Anderson again? Griffey outhit Anderson in batting practice.

Fantastic base running by Thome. Is it too early to pull Griffey for defensive reasons? Someone needs to tell Hawk that batting practice doesn't mean s***.

Seriously Hawk, stop praising the Twins so much.

Umpire calls: Sox 3, Twins 0

How much more evidence does Ozzie need that AJP needs to be down in the lineup, and Wise moved to the #2 spot?

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Sep 24, 2008 -> 12:00 AM) anyone have any good suggestions for something to watch on tv tonight? 90210

Yep, Reggie Ball at Ga Tech changed my mind about booing college athletes. It seems like every program has one or two guys that just turn into the anti-fan favorite.

QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 11:03 PM) Are you serious? Yes, it was on the radio before.

Deja vu? Vazquez isn't feeling well due to an ear infection.

Griffey's playing? Obviously, one thing is clear: Ozzie spent the day off watching Little Big League. Junior...you gotta do whatcha gotta do. Just don't fall for the hidden ball trick at the Twinkie Dome again.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 01:56 PM) The only way you see those guys on the mound is if we are getting our asses kicked. Disagree, one of them will pitch in an important situation sometime this series. I'd much rather it be Logan, as he's had some good outings vs Morneau in the past. On the bright side, at least Ozzie can't let Masset face Morneau.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 06:00 AM) Why you can't blame the 72 win season on ozzie? Do i really need to point that out? Having 1 guy in the bullpen, 2 sometimes 3 decent starters, an entire team in a hitting slump, etc. How is any of those things his fault? Thats like saying "well if the pirates had a good manager they'd be contenders". If the team blows/underperforms theres only so much a manager can do. Well, then when is it ever the manager's fault? Don't most teams that have a disappointing season have a lot of injuries and underachieving players? This isn't just for Ozzie, it's for everyone.

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?
