Seriously, Ozzie should have followed his heart and let Carrasco start. What a bunch of s*** this is.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 07:08 PM) That's the second time Konerko has f***ed up on a ball to his left in this series and the second time the official scorer gives him a gift. Ridiculous. If it's an error, give him a f***ing error. What happened?

What a joke....the problem is that Carrasco's going to end up throwing 4 innings anyways today.

Jeff Nelson!

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 04:40 AM) This may be an unpopular opinion here (and in this country), but baseball and softball don't deserve to be Olympic sports. To me, simply not enough countries play it for it to be as competitive as it should be. Considering how unimportant the baseball results are in the Olympics, I totally agree with this. Thanks to the WBC, I could care less about watching Ernie Young represent America.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 04:23 AM) The United States has a 6-0 lead over the Netherlands at the 7th inning stretch. They should beat on the Netherlands, but good to see they are apparently going to get on the board with a win after last night's crushing loss. Watching the feed of this on the nbc olympics website is funny, you can hear fans cheering/heckling because there is no broadcaster. I heard Strasburg looks phenomenal.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 04:20 AM) Serbia with a huge win vs the USA in water polo. Pretty low scoring, but a foot in the right direction and they have easier matches coming up vs China and Italy. LOL, this Horton guy is ridiculously corny. What an attention whore. I hate Horton....besides for the USA softball team, he's the only American I won't cheer for.

QUOTE (YASNY @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 05:24 AM) Santo's not the only one on my list that fits that description, hence my final remark. I was just making a tasteless joke.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 05:27 AM) Richard is god awful, he is just bad bad bad He's bad, but I don't think he's as bad as you do.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 04:25 AM) Where the hell is Poreda???????? A friend heard today that the Sox don't want to start his arb clock this season. I think the only way Richard can get called up is if someone goes on the DL. There were rumblings yesterday that Matt Thornton's back is in terrible shape.

Bartolo was a bust?

QUOTE (YASNY @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 05:20 AM) Let me just throw out a few names. George Foster Ron Santo Rocky Colavito Jim Gentile Steve Carlton Cory Snyder Ken Griffey, Jr. ? Jaime Navarro Steve Sax Steve Kemp Some of these guys were big names at the end of their careers, like Griffey, so maybe I'm being a bit harsh. Santo was on his last legs when he was on the Sox

Where's Griffey Jr?

Maybe for D. Wise?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 03:01 AM) Well I don't have the stats. What has Juan hit in his last 50 at bats? If Juan plays D like this and can actually produce at the plate, I guess I'd keep Juan in there and spell him with Joe. Give me Juan's BA and RBIs over his last 50 at bats. I am not of the belief Crede is suddenly a bad fielder. You better believe Oz and KW are not going to play him if he's hurting. I tend to trust Oz on this one rather than panic about Joe's return. Players are afraid to tell their managers about injuries. Contreras had soreness for a month before he finally told Ozzie. Also, you have to be crazy to think Crede's going to pull himself voluntarily from games during his contract year.

Hawk always says he's one of the nicest guys to ever play for the Sox.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 02:24 AM) Pitching and defense. That is all. Uribe's defensive stop was play of the game.

Awesome performance by pitchers tonight. The offense got hits when they needed it.

This umpire is cracking me up.

QUOTE (That funky motion @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 02:06 AM) Why do they call Beckham, Slayer? Someone on this board who knows a guy at UGa said that Beckham slayed more pussy than anyone.

What was Buehrle's pitch count?

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 02:38 AM) Is the 6th too early to sub in BA for Griff? He better be pulled for Anderson after that AB.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 02:24 AM) Getz just won himself the starting 2B job for 09 in Ozzie's head. I've said this since seeing him bat last night...he doesn't seem like the typical Sox player. BTW, kudos to a few members on here who touted him for a few years.

Getz with a beautiful hit-and-run! Great job Ozzie

Bad vibe to the game tonight, as KC keeps threatening and Sox offense looks lethargic.
