Lets go PK, Dye, and Crede. It's on you guys tonight to get some runs produced.

Another tremendous play by Crede.

Their team speed is just killing us so far. We seem to give up a lot of doubles on plays like that because our LF are playing on the warning track.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 12:28 AM) Yeah... its too bad we don't have any other "leadoff" hitters though. Mackowiak should get a start at the top and in LF. I would have no objections to that. Flat on both sides to start.... Come on Jon, 1-2-3. Actually, we should have acquired a 4th outfielder who's righty and can play solid defense. I'll be stunned if we get any production from our 1-2-3 hitters tonight.

Ozuna is 2 for his last 30. Stay hot 1-2 hitters.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 12:24 AM) Alomar was brought here to be Mark's personal catcher, that's all. Yep, and it's a shame that we then have to play AJP against real tough lefties. Ozuna can't be playing anymore. Isn't he like 1 for his last 30?

Thankfully he got away with only one run. One quick lineup comment....playing Sandy vs Escobar on Monday and AJP tonight vs Randy Johnson is just retarded.

Fantastic play by Crede! Hold them to one run, and you'll have some momentum.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 12:16 AM) Man, how many times is this team going to kill the momentum they gained from the night before? Unbelievable. When your starting pitching stinks, it's hard to keep momentum going. This particular Yankees lineup is going to hammer pitchers if they don't have good stuff.

This is about to get ugly. This team coming out flat tonight is inexcusable after last night's win.

2 batters, and team speed playing a huge part already in the game. Good stop by Crede there though.

Good start to this game. It must be nice to have a leadoff hitter that can create so much offense.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 10:13 PM) God I hope not. Yesterday's Sun Times had the quote. If someone can find it and post it, I'd appreciate it.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 09:44 PM) That's pretty funny that within the past few days we've had IMO the best and worst quotes of the season from a person in the White Sox organization. The AJ quote is beyond perfect, there should be a serious sense of urgency right now for this team and I can't say that I've seen it from them but this quote shows me that atleast one guy in the Clubhouse knows what the current situation is. The worst quote, was from Guillen talking about McCarthy, Brandon went out there last September and put together 5 starts that the Sox desperately needed, HE was the best pitcher in baseball last September picking up 3 victories and posting a 1.69 ERA/0.91 WHIP on a team that was circling the drain, I'm not sure the Sox even make the playoffs last season if he doesn't step it up in the final month. For Guillen to speak ill of him like that was just sickening. BTW, was Mariotti accurate when he wrote that Ozzie Guillen said that the reason Joe Crede is good is because of Ozzie Guillen?

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 09:35 PM) The fact that she was in Playboy makes me think she really doesn't care how many barely legal girls her husband is nailing on the side, as long as she still gets to spend his money. ^^^ It's official....anyone who has a wife that was in Playboy should be released by their current team.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 09:23 PM) Well yeah obviously I'd do her too, but she's not like extraordinarily hot or anything, and certainly Lo Duca should know better than to cheat on his playmate wife with her and cause all this trouble. That, and cheating on your wife isn't all that honorable either. I'm sure this was his first affair.

"I'm tired of people saying there's time," Pierzynski said. "There's not time. You got to go out and do it." This is the best quote I've seen out of the White Sox organization all season

QUOTE(MarlinFan84 @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 09:05 PM) I dont know if I am a good poster or not. I just hope I dont come off as trollish. After what the Marlins did in 2003, you can talk crap about my mom in every post, and I wouldn't have a problem with you.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 08:46 PM) Can a great fan also be a great poster? Sure...but just because you're a Sox super fan, it doesn't mean you're a good poster/smart baseball person.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 08:40 PM) thats too easy...plenty of non good sox fans stayed up for that one....now if you watched every pitch of the marathon boston game just before the break thats better...tho i think the best one was if you stayed up in 03 to watch the game i believe vs. KC after a long rain delay, the game didnt even start til like 10 and hten colon gave up 8 runs....sox came back to nearly win Trust me, I've talked to plenty of people that consider themselves "the greatest Sox fans on the planet" who went to sleep prior to the end of Game 3. Unless you're in a coma at the hospital, there's no excuse for a living Sox fan to not be able to watch the full game. QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 08:41 PM) Especially because that game didn't mean nearly as much. I believe the game was against Detroit. I had tickets for the game, but I left after an hour and a half.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 08:06 PM) And none of them were for anything more than mediocre talent. The Guardado deal was a great low risk, high reward trade. I can't believe some people actually thought Majewski was going to be a great fit with that team at that park. I still can't believe they gave up Lopez/Kearns.

A good poster should only talk about being a good Sox fan if they stayed up for all of Game 3 of the WS.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 07:53 PM) A good poster knows how to spell Sox player's names correctly. What's wrong with John Garland, Mike McDougall, Freddie Garcia, and Scott Podsednick?

QUOTE(Felix @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 05:28 PM) Or they are like Bobby Jenks/Kerry Wood and just can't pitch the innings required without likely getting hurt. (I think this was the case with Gagne, although I could be wrong) Or maybe Gagne went to the bullpen and discovered something magical

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 05:23 PM) Your right, Liriano, Santana, all the other saviors had real problems in the pen. Care to back up your opinion with any proof? From my experience, it is easier for a pitcher to go from the starting rotation to the pen, then vice versa. You have guys like Gagne, etc who have become dominant in the pen. Gagne was a SP prior to being converted btw. A lot of the times, starting pitchers are turned into relievers because they lose their velocity as their pitch count increase and they only have one or two pitches (example is Neal Cotts). McCarthy is the opposite of this type of pitcher. Someone like Liriano shouldn't be used as an example...he's a rare talent. QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 05:24 PM) Fathom, If B-Mac's problem is the pen, then why are his stats basically the same this year as last year? It would seem that if the pen truely was a problem he would of tanked. If McCarthy is as average as you think, then everyone in our organization should be fired for not being willing to trade him for some marquee talent.
