fathom

manager....what could he have done at the ASB if things went bad? There was absolutely no trade market this season, with so many teams in contention.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 02:47 AM) Frank and Magglio have it in for us for sure. At least Ozzie hasn't egged them on by acting like an immature P.O.S.

Good job Jermaine...Thome would have just K'd anyways.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 02:43 AM) since you arent able to have a memory here we go one more time: take notes please for gods sake! YOU RESPECT YOUR WS CHAMPION PLAYERS BY KEEPING THEM! AT LEAST THE MAJOR CONTRIBUTORS! GM couldve reevaluated at All-Star break.... What was he going to re-evaluate at the ASB? Everyone in the world thought we'd coast to the playoffs with a 6 game lead in the WC. We did keep the major contributors from the postseason.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 02:41 AM) What's the deal with Urbina anyway? Is he still in jail, is he gonna be able to play this year? Unless season 3 of "Prison Break" is filmed in Venezuela, he's not going to be playing in the majors anytime soon.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 02:37 AM) I honestly don't care. If Urbina would be willing to pitch for fairly cheap I'd sign him right now, machete and all. He'd bring new meaning to the term "throwing gas on the fire".

QUOTE(whitesoxfan99 @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 02:36 AM) Don't you know that it is trying hard that wins, not actual talent. This sounds like an argument a college spots fan makes when their team has a bad recruiting class.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 02:35 AM) It wouldn't suprise me if he came to the Sox, he is one of Ozzies buddies. I think Ozzie said he went to visit him in jail over the winter. And like the good guy he is, he asked Ozzie if he wanted him to kill someone in that jail who had killed Ozzie's best friend.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 02:35 AM) i respect Arow as a baseball player...you spit on him and bring up .230 average to support your dislike... Well...how dare SSI bring up a player's stats.

QUOTE(SinkingShip06 @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 02:34 AM) and this whole season hasn't been? No, it hasn't been embarrassing. I'm all for being negative, but it hasn't been embarrassing.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 02:33 AM) I never even thought about Uggy Urbina. That would be embarassing. There were people on this site earlier this year saying that his attempted murder charge wasn't too big of a deal, and that he's a good guy.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 02:32 AM) I got 5 bucks on the runner scoring from third via wild pitch. Seriously, why was Thornton taken out? Is he injured? Thornton needs to decide if he'll be a power hitter or a speed player.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 02:31 AM) How many balls bounced in front of Rowand when he broke back on the swing. Bobby Jenks had a few blown saves againt Cleveland that come to mind. We never have the JOE CREDE moment if Rowand doesn't misjudge a line drive to center field that allowed the Indians to tie the game.

QUOTE(SinkingShip06 @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 02:31 AM) SOXFEST IS GONNA BE FUN THIS YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What time will the autograph sessions with Juan Pierre and Uggy Urbina be?

QUOTE(BearSox @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 02:30 AM) It is not tough to get a base hit here or there with RISP. The Sox can't do it for some reason though. The bunts and hit-and-runs have been pretty to watch.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 02:29 AM) That is solid baseball from the Tigers. Their execution and managing is amazing tonight. QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 02:29 AM) I really dont know how to respond to this. I use stats, and measurable evidence to support my point. And you smile and giggle at your autographed Rowand poster and dream of last year and the 3 stooges. The stats also don't show the late game defensive struggles that Rowand had last year.

I'm 100 pct convinced that our manager should be fired for how this team has laid down since the ASB....too bad it will never happen.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 02:27 AM) He's actually been trying to go the other way with the ball, and getting hits. Maybe Dergan decided not to sleep with him for a couple of days... He's 6 for his last 23 now...not exactly looking like Ichiro these days.

I think we face a lefty tomorrow...Josh Fields better be in the freaking lineup. I have no desire to see Thome go 0-2 with a walk.

What did Hawk say about the move? QUOTE(BearSox @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 02:24 AM) Anyone notice how Podsednik and Garcia have just decided to show up to play in the final week or two of the season? Podsednik doing good once the season is out of reach is a nightmare for us....but I'm still confident he's gone in a week and a half.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 02:22 AM) Whomever has come up with the approach to attack the hitters this year is border line dumb. I have never seen so many times that our pitchers get to 0-2 on a hitter, and then either put a changeup over the plate to be crushed, or they nibble and get the count back in the hitters favor. Too many times, guys have been burned on their 3rd pitch. Contreras' slider and Garland's changeup are mediocre pitches, yet they keep throwing them far too much. One of the reasons that Garland gives up so many homers, as a sinker ball pitcher, is that he doesn't trust his sinker enough.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 02:21 AM) It's been an incredibly annoying season and it's going to be an even more annoying offseason with all the excuses that will be tossed around. I'm also done debating the future of Freddy Garcia with people. This whole f***ing team sickens me. I'm sure Buehrle will have a good start in his last game, and then we'll hear about how the starting pitching was just hitting their stride. At least we're bringing in MacDougal now...might as well blow out his shoulder now.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 02:19 AM) It happens when you try and throw a perfect game because you have an offense that forgot how to hit... these grinder rules are starting too piss me off. Did Greg Walker make them? Because all of them are about lifting, pulling, and hitting the home run. It also happens when you throw too many changeups up and over the plate.

Congrats to Ordonez for continuing to shove it up the ass of Ozzie.

At least we can say that we're 150 games or so into the season, and Ozzie still has no freaking clue how to handle his starting pitchers.
