fathom

Congrats to this team for holding on to 1st place for so long with such a red hot team on it's trail. Hopefully this is a very short thread.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 08:23 PM) I don't think Greinke should be suspended, even if he wasn't facing the Twins next. He didn't throw at anyone's head or anything. Automatic though in that situation.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 08:20 PM) I like you fathom. People call me negative and pessimistic, but I am nothing compared to you. It's true though, his next schedule start is supposed to be against the Twins. Hopefully he appeals it.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 08:18 PM) You knew that was coming. I'm surprised they let Grienke do it though, he's going to get a 5 or 6 game suspension. That hit Swish right in the hip I think. And watch him miss his start against the Twins next week.

This game has been so predictable.

So you're saying Farnsworth can't handle pressure situations?

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 08:14 PM) There are 30 teams asking that. Just a joke

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 08:11 PM) This is really embarrassing. It's simple -- we don't deserve to be in first place after this last week. Can we ask again....where's our Liriano?

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 08:09 PM) If you love your team you don't claim that THIS.TEAM.IS.DEAD after every loss. I still can't picture what this board would be like if we were 15 games out like last season.....does the opposite happen? Like is everybody optimistic about how awesome we will be next year? Because its obvious when we're a 1st place contending team, the consensus is that the teams sucks balls. The game threads have about 75 posts in meaningless games.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 08:08 PM) you don't think these two teams are heading in opposite directions? Of course they are, but as of right now, the Sox have a realistic chance.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 08:07 PM) Roscoe Goald is killing us today. Why did we trade that guy anyway? Cause Ozzie hated him?

When making their last 38 outs for the Royals, I believe they have 35 hits.

Too bad we didn't make that Buehrle for Wily Mo trade like he suggested.

So I turned on TBS to watch Yanks/Angels slugfest. In a tie game in bottom of 8th, Jeter was up with 1st and 3rd, no outs. The infield was in, and Jeter grounded out to SS. The runner got to 2nd base, but the runner on 3rd didn't score. Chippy goes "a very productive out for Jeter".

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 09:02 PM) Did his name start with red? yes

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 09:00 PM) Wait, what? This makes me feel like we have a chance, no matter what: http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/standings

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 08:59 PM) Some posts make it extremely hard to tell. There's only one guy who I ever thought was a troll, and he "came out" a long time ago and left this site.

Guys....thanks for being here right now for this. I know it's a b**** fest right now, so let's all remember we're Sox fans.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 08:56 PM) BA to hit for CQ. That's good...might as well pull GJr. also

It's too bad the trade deadline can't be this coming week.

OC can't like that he's missing 2 opportunities to pad his stats.

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 08:51 PM) 6-0 isn't a blowout. Technically the Sox have enough hitting to make you think they can score 6 or more. They came back yesterday. You and I know they usually quit during these situations but it's still possible. Well, Ozzie pulled starters in a 5 run game in the 7th yesterday.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 08:50 PM) If Carrasco was throwing intentionally at Olivo, I'm pretty sure he would of hit him with the 1st one. Bases were loaded and nobody will convince me Ozzie told him to do it unless Ozzie says he did. He tried to, no doubt in my mind.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 08:49 PM) Yeah our inherited runners scored stats the last month have to be all time bad. Quite simply, this team sucks right now and shows absolutely no signs of turning it around.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 08:47 PM) Uribe, OC and AJ up for us. There'd be something funny about Juanny rushing the mound if he was thrown at. Since this game is over, I really don't care what happens the rest of the way. DO get our old guys out of the game, though. BA for Dye, Wise for Thome, etc., etc. Can we see OC get hit, and when he charges the mound, the Sox just stay in the dugout?
