Thome chases a 2-0 pitch in the dirt.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 12:44 AM) Exactly, still no faith in him. Of course, it's still nice to see him look good. It can't hurt his trade value.

Good job by Vazquez. He's trailing, so there's a little less pressure on him.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 12:42 AM) Doing something like this, embarassing a player the way Ozzie USED TO throw players under the bus, might put a sense of urgency in these players. Ozzie did that too much earlier in the year, and people close to the team seem to believe that he's lost his edge with the players.

So Manny, who missed a week with a sore knee, can run hard to first base? I hope Pods was watching.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 12:39 AM) Dude, he freaking killed the ball on that play. Just right at the 3rd baseman. No, I was saying it was pretty ironic.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 12:39 AM) he didnt get teh job done, but im not gonna fault him too much for the swing he put on that ball Well, if we're going to try and play smallball, you have to get the sac fly in that situation.

Hey Ozzie....your team absolutely sucks at fundamentals. Much more intelligent baseball managers will be fired this offseason for lesser mistakes.

Bench Iguchi. That's just terrible fundamentals. I love how Crede can't hit a fly ball in a fly ball situation, when he's been the king of pop ups lately.

Looks like we have a new Jose Valentin. Sets up the heartbreaking DP nicely.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 12:35 AM) im convinced hes better than pods I'm convinced I'm better than Pods.

QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 12:34 AM) if you are serious, i like the idea. if you arent, ill pretend like im joking too. I'm serious. Way to hit the ball on the ground Ozuna...great fundamentals.

Terrific swing by Sweeney.

QUOTE(jasonxctf @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 12:32 AM) New Lineup for the rest of the year 1) Iguchi 2) Cintron 3) Dye 4) Thome 5) Crede 6) Konerko 7) Pierzynski 8) Anderson 9) Sweeney I want to see Gload leading off

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 12:30 AM) At least when the year is over I have all 3 World Series DVD's to watch. I'm a huge Ga Tech basketball fan....and the 2004 Final Four DVD sure made me feel better when they choked in 2005.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 12:29 AM) It's hard for even the most optimistic to say yes. Im sure a few do, but your going to be hard pressed to convince me. One thing I will say, this is a playoff team. They just haven't acted like it since July. Well, I still point to Cora sending Iguchi home against Runelvys in a tie game about 3 weeks ago as the turning point of the season. We had won 5 in a row, and had our swagger back. Immediately after that terrible decision by Cora, Vazquez had his meltdown, and we have sucked since then.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 12:29 AM) Konerko f***ed us out of our only chance, and now we are hibernating. Awesome. Thank god we won the World Series last year.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 12:27 AM) We suck. How can anyone look at this team and think "contender?" We have one f***ing hit against Kason Gabbard. That's not frustrating, that's laughable. This team should commit hari kari. It's too bad we couldn't have extended Soriano. QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 12:28 AM) Kong thinks nothing is wrong. Until they are elminated they are still in it. PK is a terrible captain. He's my favorite Sox player of all time, but his attitude sucks right now.

Legit question: does anyone think we'll make the playoffs?

This is absolutely pathetic baseball. I still can't FATHOM how we manage to play so many s***ty guys, yet Gload can't find a way into the lineup. He's about the only one giving consistent tough at-bats.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 12:24 AM) For me, he has turned out to be one of the most frustrating things about the 2nd half. He is right up at the top for me. He is disgusting to watch. Yep, he went from my MVP for the last season and a half to a liability. His approach at the plate is pathetic, and his pitch selection is awful.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 12:23 AM) Who is going to provide the solo dong tonight. My money is on Taz, he will corkscrew himself into the ground King for the rest of the night. But one profundo. Hrniak fixed Uribe last year, then he came to ST and was back to being bad. Then old Greg said that the leg kick really didnt work, msut of been an illusion, and he was going to work on a new spread stance. Well after a year of the spread stance, I want Hrniak back for a weekend refresher. He told Farmer he would hit a homer tonight.

Great....the bad Brian Anderson is back. He looks like a Little Leaguer again.

We might as well have Sandy face lefties now. AJP seems lost against them also.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 12:20 AM) KW and the players have just as much to do with this team losing as Ozzie. KW >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ozzie Guillen
