QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 02:08 AM) And his ERA is still north of 5 SIGN HIM UP!

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 02:07 AM) We have 2 closers and a lefty who throws near 100, and a future rotation guy in the pen. However our manager thinks that no matter how many runs you give up, you must pitch into the 7th. He wants his pitchers to win the game, of course some times at the expense of the team itself. Don't forget that we seem puzzled as to why our starting pitchers are fatigued.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 02:05 AM) Mike MacDougal is very good. Everything seems to be hit softly against him. We just need to keep him healthy and not overuse him.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 02:04 AM) I really wonder what the relationship is between Ozzie and Freddy. Freddy has been under the impression he was almost traded last winter, and KW has done nothing but deny it, and told Freddy to his face it isn't true. You would think Ozzie knows exactly what KW is up to. Either Ozzie is feeding Freddy some BS, maybe to try to kick start his fat ass, or KW is lying. Here's the thing I've always wondered: athletes, especially MLB players, are notoriously unfaithful on the road. Does Garcia have to keep it in his pants in order to not piss off his manager? I've heard some amazing stories about athletes and their ladies on the road though.

We can't let Neifi beat us.

QUOTE(SoxnGiants @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 02:03 AM) KC is on the verge of blowing a 10-1 lead. I saw that, and it seemed like deja vu from last year with the Indians "hulking up" against KC no matter how much they were down.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 02:02 AM) I think it does. Sweet...I might have to have my bachelor party there. There's no truth to the rumor though that I've invited Pods or Ozzie to my wedding.

I'd like to see Jenks start warming up in the pen.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 01:58 AM) I think if I would have accepted the offer from the woman who propositioned me last night, I really wouldn't know. She was a Canadian...does that mean you get more "bang" for your buck?

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 01:56 AM) Come on guys, are you IN or OUT? Did I join the "Ellen" message board or something?

QUOTE(cgaudin @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 01:54 AM) I'll bite...so what are they? The ERA of the relievers used by the Twins tonight. QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 01:55 AM) What you blew the last 4 times you were stopped for DUI? More like my GPA my first four semesters at U of I.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 01:53 AM) If Ozzie is the White Sox manager for the forseeable future, when does Broadway crack the Sox rotation assuming he keeps putting up good numbers? 2010? I still laugh at Broadway saying on TV last year "my specialty is backdooring guys".

.81, .96, 2.44, 1.54 What are these numbers?

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 01:51 AM) WHERE'S OUR TAYLOR LUMPSUM??? Flash has got to be happy with Broadway's showing tonight.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 01:50 AM) Maybe McCarthy. I was trying to make fun of the poster who botched his name worse in a bad way this afternoon.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 01:49 AM) What about that Brendan McCartney guy? I haven't heard about him in forever. Do you mean McCararthy?

QUOTE(ottawa_sox @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 01:47 AM) Ozzie wouldn't have been put in a difficult situation if one of his starters simply gets the ball down like Ozzie has been crying for all year long. Even extra bunting hasn't helped. It's on te players shoulders for not completing the easy task. I heard Sean Casey on the pregame show say this tonight "everyone in the clubhouse knows that if you're not doing the job, Leyland will replace you with someone that can in a heartbeat". I miss the days when we thought the same about Ozzie.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 01:46 AM) Even worse, what happens if we WIN this game? At this point in the season, I don't care if the other team makes 100 errors, I'll take a win no matter what.

That's bad baseball. In comes MacDougal.

It's too bad we had to waste MacDougal last night. No "Suck 'em up Joe"? Terrific play by Crede. At least he looks rejuvenated the past few days.

Granderson really is trying to resemble Pods now.

QUOTE(Allsox @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 01:42 AM) In all fairness, Brian was screwed from the second Oz called him to pinch hit. Should have left Pods in and try to bunt with two strikes. I'm not blaming Anderson at all. That was one of those situations where our manager didn't put a player in the best chance to succeed (Fathom's #1 rule of managing).

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 01:41 AM) So Pods actually found a way to strike out on only 2 strikes? Go away Yeah, not even I understand that statement about 2000.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 01:41 AM) At least the defense is now improved. Pods would have K'd too. He did.

Wow....one of the most impressive managed innings I've ever seen.
