QUOTE (Wanne @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 04:50 AM) pathetic effort all the way around. Floyd deserved better. Good team don't lose to s*** teams at this point in the year. Absolutely embarrassing. I hope these guys are embarrassed...they should be. I really have no faith in this team the rest of the way out. I have a prediction right now..Gio will make this team look ridiculous. No, Floyd really didn't deserve better.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 04:50 AM) You do realize this division could come down to one game right? And that if we lose two out of three this weekend, it's because of that game. And that Minnesota is now tied with us instead of one game back because we just gift wrapped a win for Oakland and begged them to take it. But sure, if we win tomorrow, and are forced to play a rubber match Sunday instead of look for a sweep, this game doesn't matter. Ok. Considering how awful the Sox have looked at the Twinkie Dome this season, my philosophy is we're 3 games back in the standings but we don't play the Twins again this year.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 04:49 AM) This loss is irrelevant if we go out and win tomorrow. I like the optimism!! This team has to start playing better baseball on the road. Way too many blown leads and poor defense.

Does anyone know what our bullpen ERA is since the Joe Morgan debacle? I'm all for using Thornton for 2 or 3 innings in games where he has it rolling. Also, if we can't trust Getz at 3rd base, then get Fields back on the big league roster. It's embarrassing that Uribe had to face Street in the 9th. Street is the exact type of pitcher that dominates Uribe.

Nice pitch....high fastball in a sac fly situation. What a terrible job by AJP tonight.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 04:42 AM) Wow, right at his goddamn face. That almost looked intentional. Maybe not to hit him, but in case of a squeeze.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 05:40 AM) The A's are a truly awful baseball team, and momentum is tomorrow's starting pitcher, so we won't get swept. The problem is, this is yet another in a long, long list of games that we've given away if the likely result occurs in the next 5 minutes. If there is a team that has given away more should be wins than the Chicago White Sox, I'd love to know who they are. This team is so damn stupid, and although I can't blame Ozzie for many tactical decisions this year, the blame has to go to him (as well as Kenny Williams to a certain degree) for having a stupid ass ballclub. I don't blame Ozzie for tonight...shocking

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 05:38 AM) wish we had someone in our pen that could strike someone out, now that a runner is at 3rd base I wish we had someone in our pen, besides Jenks, who can actually throw a quality offspeed pitch.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 05:38 AM) I've said it a lot this year, and based on the IQ level of this team I'll say it several more times, but this would be the worst loss of the season. Simply pathetic. I get more upset about games that we lose that we actually deserved to win. Even though there were errors, the game at Baltimore earlier this year when Jenks gave up two, 2 strike hits with 2 outs to let them tie it was much worse.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 04:36 AM) You're kidding, right? This is a horrible team. We have Danks going tomorrow. No, when the Sox go on to lose tonight, it sets the tone for just a terrible weekend. They look defeated right now.

Ozzie sure looks confident in the dugout.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 05:34 AM) Uribe has had quite the night!! I didn't think it was possible, but this team will be a bigger frusteration/failure than even the 2003 White Sox were if they don't make the playoffs. It amazes me how stupid this team is and how much they give away to their opponents. Was Scott Linebrink our first half MVP?

It's going to be HoRam this inning.

This has all the makings of an A's sweep...please prove me wrong this weekend.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 05:31 AM) Do you trust Getz at third? If we can't, then sending Fields down was f***ing stupid.

Terrible, simply terrible baseball tonight.

Uribe shouldn't be batting against Street. It would be a good situation for Griffey Jr.

FWIW, Dotel's ERA on the road is now around 5

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 04:22 AM) Goddamnit Ozzie...WHY leave him in there?!!!!!!!!! Yep, leave in the fastball pitcher to bat against the fastball hitter. Boone Logan's fall from grace really hurts there.

Ozzie needs to start treating Cust like he's Matt Stairs.

f***!!!! What a terrible pitch to Cust. Simply put, we don't deserve to win this game.

Big out in Gonzalez there. Dotel against Cust scares the crap out of me.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 05:17 AM) Absolutely correct. He doesn't hestitate to look...he scores. That's not Anderson's fault though. His coaches have to be communicating with him that the ball got away. When you're picked off like that, you're only focusing on getting to 2nd base.

Ugh, it's 4-3 now. That Anderson play reminds me of similar momentum changers at this field.

QUOTE (almagest @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 05:13 AM) Yeah, with 2 outs and 2 strikes on Swisher, definitely. Looked like someone in Oakland's bullpen touched the ball, though. Doesn't it then become a dead ball? That's our bullpen out there.
