AJP deserves a lot of credit for that great inning. His 3-2 slider pitch selection was the beginning of the end.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 2, 2006 -> 01:22 AM) So maybe we will get to see Sweeney.... Did you hear that Sweeney was called up to only play CF?

QUOTE(SoxHawk1980 @ Sep 2, 2006 -> 01:21 AM) At least you're focusing on the important stuff. I'm waiting for someone to say they have Contreras on their fantasy team. QUOTE(CWSOX45 @ Sep 2, 2006 -> 01:22 AM) Wow. This is pure dogs***. I am so f***in pissed that Kansas City continues to beat us around. Was that shot to centerfield catchable? Or did Mack just f*** it up as usual? We need to have our f***ing starters in every game from here on out. God dammit Ozzie. Cintron and Mackowiak should not be playing. Mackowiak had no chance on any of those plays.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 2, 2006 -> 01:20 AM) We can put bmac in the rotation now Ozzie. The count has given up a s***load of runs in 4 starts in a row. Something is wrong. Don't worry, Ozzie will have ANOTHER talk with him, and Jose will tell him everything is fine. No s*** he's going to say everything is fine...he's a strong man with a ton of pride.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 2, 2006 -> 01:19 AM) Take the prancer out of LF, and put Sweeney. He can actually catch the ball, hit the ball and throw the ball. He isnt super fast, but neither is the prancer. I'd rather see Sweeney pitch than 3 of our starters right now.

Good thing we locked up Contreras for 3 years.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 2, 2006 -> 01:18 AM) How can you not be amped-up to play when its September 1st and the playoffs are on the line? Cause it seems like these guys almost feel that it's their right to make the playoffs. How many freaking times do we have to hear that such and such series isn't important? The funny thing is that people 3 months ago would have said that Ozzie would have never let this happen. Ozzie hasn't done a single freaking thing to try and generate excitement.

Time for the DL for Mr. Contreras

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Sep 2, 2006 -> 01:16 AM) And no reporters question him. They do, and his answers are as idiotic as his decisions.

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Sep 2, 2006 -> 01:15 AM) yeap we lead the wildcard because every member of the team is garbage...BRILLIANT!!!! We've been carried by Dye, Crede, Garland, MacDougal, and Jenks for about two months now.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Sep 2, 2006 -> 01:14 AM) Well at least Ozzie doesn't even preach defense anymore. It's the one part of the formula for winning that he has completely abandoned. There's no excuse for his managing.

Even if they weren't as successful, I think I liked the 2002-2004 teams more than this team.

I'm so thrilled Ozzie continues to put his best defensive team on the field.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 2, 2006 -> 01:12 AM) The count is a submarine pitcher to righties. Another tinker job at its best. If not for last year, Cooper should be fired.

Ah, the great baseball continues. We don't deserve to win s*** right now.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 2, 2006 -> 01:10 AM) I was at the game yesterday and there was a guy who looked like Jermaine's double if JD gained about 40 lbs. He was with a little kid. I wonder if it was his brother, I don't know if JD even has one. You sure it wasn't Michael Jordan?

Is AJP retarded? A 3-2 slider, a pitch that Jose rarely throws for a strike?

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Sep 2, 2006 -> 01:09 AM) I can already read the quotes... "You just have to tip your cap...blah blah blah" Hawk was saying at the beginning of the game how concerned he is about this series.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 2, 2006 -> 01:07 AM) Nice approach for the 7th best offense in scoring runs in the AL in the 2nd half. How many of those runs have been unearned against the opposition? It seems like we've been the beneficiaries of some terrible defense in the last month. QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 2, 2006 -> 01:07 AM) Its beginning to look like a pre-2005 stretch run for the White Sox. Where's everyone that says Pods is our catalyst? If that's true, then we should release his ass right now.

Hey Ozzie....WHERE'S THE FREAKING INTENSITY?

Thome can't make solid contact on a fastball. It doesn't make sense, since he's cheating on the inside pitch so much.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Sep 2, 2006 -> 12:58 AM) clutch hit clutch pitch

Someone might want to wake up Dye in RF. He couldn't have played that slower. Another amazing 2 strike pitch by our starters.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Sep 2, 2006 -> 12:52 AM) reverse psychology! (actually, I've run out of negative things to say) Nope...an appropriate acronym.

Nice pitch...can't let up with Teahen at the plate.
