QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 02:12 AM) It doesnt get much worse than this. We better f uckin win tomorrow It's a good thing I can't watch tomorrow's game. If we lose that, we're in a ton of trouble.

Gotta love how the Twins 8 and 9 hitters are both 3-3. Bartlett is batting .366.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 02:07 AM) I just tuned in, 7-0 are you kidding me??!! At least it was over in a hurry.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 02:05 AM) Tigers lose. That makes tonight's debacle hurt double. The last thing I want to see happen is head to Minnesota tied for the WC.

I hope KC hits the next 10 balls to CF.

Gardenhire pulls Silva in a 2-2 game to start the 6th inning. Quite the concept. QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 01:56 AM) Did anyone hear Joey Cora today on the radio. He had no clue what he was saying. You could tell that B & B were biting their tongues having to hold back from calling him an idiot.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 01:54 AM) No, it knuckled on him1!!!! As if that never occurs against other centerfielders. I suppose it's just Mackowiaks luck the mother of all flyballs finds him. When a ball knuckles on you in the outfield, it usually goes down, and doesn't sail on you.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 01:52 AM) With the way our starters have been the last month or so, i thought it might be a good idea to limit these guys to 100 pitches or less. But then again, W's for the pitcher count more than W's for the team, right Oz? It's just a point that hasn't been brought up much this year in the media, but it seems like it would help our pitchers. We keep having these guys throw 110 pitches every night, every 5th game. With their workloads from last year, fatigue should be expected.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 01:51 AM) And mackowiak takes a bad route, and its a double. Anderson strolls back and makes that catch. He made a few of those over the last few games the same way. Keep putting the corner OF in center ozzie. It's just amazing that Ozzie continues to put him out in CF. It's inexcusable by KW to not have brought in a back-up outfielder. Between that and the Vazquez groundhog day 6th innings, there's been a lot of frustration. On the other hand, Dye's consistency has been amazing also.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 01:50 AM) Could Pods have realistically scored on Paul's double? We've had more guys thrown at home this year than I can ever remember in my 16 years of being a Sox fan. That's the thing...we can't seem to score from first on a double or from second on a single. Meanwhile, teams are running AT WILL against us in those situations.

HA...thanks, I needed that.

QUOTE(Harry&JimmyRocked @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 01:48 AM) you're just not looking at the positives Here's a positive...Contreras has a great forkball tonight. It's just too bad AJP forgot about that pitch in the 3rd inning.

Contreras is still in the game? Maybe these guys wouldn't be so fatigued if we found a way to not make them throw 100+ pitches every game. QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 01:48 AM) Crede and AJ need to take tomorrow off. Stick Cintron at 3rd and Alomar behind the dish tomorrow Crede demolished Odalis last time we played KC. We need to play our normal lineup with Sandy behind the plate.

Well...that was a perfect example of what's wrong with this team. Our speed guy can't score from first with 2 outs on a double. Meanwhile, some of our other hitters look physically and mentall fatigued.

QUOTE(SoxnGiants @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 01:43 AM) I was referring to the way he played the game. His intensity & desire - he is lacking in many areas (so-so average, poor obp, not much power) but he brings great intangibles - which could be an asset to this team. So to be more clear - I feel we need more desire & intensity, not AROW. But if I give you more to b**** about (as if you need it), then that's fine by me. It just bugs me how people think Thome is this so-so clubhouse guy, but Rowand was the king of the clubhouse. Maybe more people should review the player surveys that say how Thome is one of the 3 best clubhouse guys in all of baseball.

Another home run swing

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 01:39 AM) Last year, Podsednik is sitting at second base right now. Pods and Freddy must train together in the offseason. Another home run swing

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 01:36 AM) We take 2 out of 3 against the Yanks. Fight like animals. We take 3 out of 3 against the Tigers, things looking up. Then we rock Redman, and then our offense goes into the s***ter. Because they are into pull and lift mode. Man do I appreciate 2005 more and more.

QUOTE(SoxnGiants @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 01:34 AM) I think this team needs leadership right now - from Ozzie, Paulie, Thome, AJ or anyone. Someone needs to take charge. As much as I love Thome, we need a grinder like AROW at times like these (I still like the trade, I'm just saying we need the desire he brought everyday). I was really hoping we could lose a game without hearing how much Rowand would have helped us. In 20 years, he might be the most overrated player in Chicago history.

Is it possible that we're playing worse as the game goes on? I hope Ozzie knows Mackowiak's history of being extremely streaky. He went from being red hot to being 1 for his last 13. We really, really, really would benefit by trading for another outfielder.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 01:31 AM) He's only pitched like 30 innings this year. Still, IT'S JASON GRILLI!

Give me a bat, I could make contact off of Bernero.

These fans are definitely fiesty. I like to hear the frustration.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 01:28 AM) A pitcher that has been released by the pitching starved Phillies is 3 hitting our team. We let crappy Runnynose Hernadez and his 8 ERA own us last night. Now we are getting shut down by this guy. Start your f***ing A team Ozzie. Stop with this b team s***. Will we score more than 5 runs all weekend?
