QUOTE(greg775 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 12:43 AM) Please don't play the race card. This is baseball. Oz is better than that. My gosh. I'm not saying what he said is true...but I'm also not saying that Ozzie doesn't favor some of his buddies. I can't wait until next year when McCarthy gets pulled at the first sign of trouble.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 12:44 AM) Maybe it's just me not having seen him pitch for a month, but McCarthy's delivery looks slightly different than last time out. Seems less violent to my eyes. I can't tell...it's like a man who's been in prison for 20 years going to a strip club once he gets out.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 12:42 AM) The Twins sure act like its a big series. Maybe thats why their kicking the Sox ass again. If the Sox continue to fall apart, it will be interesting to see what KW does with the roster. I don't think he'll make a lot of changes, but I think he will make a couple big moves. I want to see the Sox trade for Jimmy Rollins (one of our starters and a good prospect) and then try to sign Mathews Jr. to a 2/3 yr deal. My ideal lineup would be: Rollins, Mathews Jr, Dye, Thome, PK, Crede, Iguchi, AJP, Anderson

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 12:40 AM) Never has a team given me such bad headaches before. I think I'm gonna go get some DQ, but I wanna watch BMac pitch seeing as how I might not get, and haven't gotten many chances this year. Lets just hope that the DQ manager doesn't put the janitor in charge of making the blizzards.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 12:38 AM) Just shows Ozzie's lack of urgency. I doubt you'll find any other manager in the MLB that would start 4 back-ups in a crucial game in a playoff push. I'm so f***ing sick of the comments in the media that go like this: "This isn't a big series. No matter what, our season won't be decided when the series is over". Nice pull approach that inning.

At least PK looks to be bringing back the leg kick. That's a promising sight.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 12:37 AM) Even when Johan Santana looks very human and the Twins 3B makes a big error we can't do s***. I hate when we face him. He's the only pitcher in baseball I feel like we have no chance against.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 12:36 AM) Our rotation is like the Nasty Boys and Brutus Beefcake. They're only in there because they're friends with the most powerful guy on the team. Wow!! Well done...I still have a smile on my face.

QUOTE(GOD @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 12:35 AM) We have also been extremely unlucky this year Maybe it's me, but I think we more than used up our share of luck last season.

QUOTE(G&T @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 12:34 AM) All season he told us that Ozzie won't let them lose intensity. Hawk lied. He also said that Ozzie would never put up with guys not hustling.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 12:33 AM) If Hawk is questioning the White Sox intensity level, you know there's a huge problem. I also don't hear Hawk say how Ozzie will figure everything out anymore. I guess he saves it for when the Sox have a comfortable lead. ^^^^^^^^^^^

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 12:31 AM) Can we give Jose back to the Yanks please? Um, no QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 12:33 AM) Can you have a home run and an error on the center fielder on the same play? Thanks for the laugh!

QUOTE(Felix @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 12:32 AM) Wait, are you saying Jose Contreras isn't the best pitcher in the league? He isn't better than the leagues elite? What are you on? sigh, I hate it when the Twins play the Sox I miss stats people show to try and prove that such and such pitcher is better than Santana.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 12:31 AM) Because left handers can NEVER get hits off of left-handed pitchers. The world will end before a lefty can hit a lefty or a righty can hit a righty. Unless the Lefty is Mackowiak. He's a God. Could the world handle Cotts vs Mackowiak?

Isn't it amazing how when we were up 3 last night, it seemed like such a small lead. However, we're down 4 tonight, and I'd give us 0 pct chance of winning.

Milkman...is it time to start using wrestling references to make this more fun?

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 12:29 AM) OMG!!! ARE YOU IN OR ARE YOU OUT!!!??? Milkman = Lance Bass

QUOTE(greg775 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 12:29 AM) Jose doesn't even last 3 innings? I got a feeling he'll be on the DL tomorrow. The guy is hurt, folks, let's face facts. As of right now, he's just another guy on a long list of players that look to have caught lightning in a bottle last year.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 12:27 AM) The only positive that can come out of this game would be for McCarthy to throw four-five dominant innings, really forcing Ozzie and Coop's hand. Ozzie would still say: the real Cy Young was on the hill for the Twins. I've been preaching about our pathetic outfield defense this season (besides for Anderson's range), and it's been a killer tonight. Two fly balls that Mackowiak showed no range on, and Ozuna letting a high pop fly fall for a hit. Meanwhile, Sandy crushed a ball to the gap, and Tyner makes the catch easily.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 12:27 AM) With our inability to get get any kind of consistency out of the rotation, and the Twins just man-handling us constantly, I'm starting to think this year is over. You mean every year besides last season?

QUOTE(G&T @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 12:27 AM) Another fastball down the middle with 2 strikes. There's some real bad pitch calling tonight. Add Sandy to the list of guys that we need to wind up on the DL.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 12:26 AM) I feel sick. Nah, this is funny in one of those bad ways. I was thinking about this earlier: I get pissed off when we lose this year, but it's not even close to the emotions I had around this time last year. I remember feeling like my body temperature increase by 20 degrees when Bobby Jenks blew a save against Aaron Boone.

Ozzie....keep letting Contreras die out there.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 12:24 AM) Have the Sox ever scored 5 runs in a game that Santana was the opposing pitcher? Yes, we bombed him about 3 years ago early in the year when he was having some elbow issues.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 12:24 AM) Gardy just bends Ozzie over backwards and rams him everytime we play Yep, he really does. Even last year, he managed some damn good games against us when he had a lot of injuries.
