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

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

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 12:18 AM) Why do we want that? So he'll leave, and take Cora and Garcia with him. With Ozzie as our manager, I have no doubt we'll keep Cora and Garcia on the team.

The mental midget starting his meltdown two innings early?

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 12:16 AM) And that should about do it... We can only hope Ozzie snaps in the press soon and calls someone another derogatory name.

QUOTE(G&T @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 12:16 AM) Crede's hitting .380 with RISP. I think Oz wants to get him a few more AB's with men on. And Coco is hurting the Sox again. Then he should be batting behind PK and Thome.

Nice hanger by Javy. I'm so happy we gave a meatball to Crisp with the s***ty Mirabelli on deck. Keep up the great pitch calling AJ.

BTW...how much was PK out at first by?

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 12:13 AM) Konerko sucked, but Crede could have easily gotten a run home that inning. Greg Walker should be fired. I don't understand why we moved Crede into the 3rd spot. If Dye is out, then just move Thome back into the 3 spot, PK 4th, and Crede 5th. Of course, this is another game where our lack of a back-up righty outfielder is killing us.

Any estimate on when the rain's going to hit?

Listening to the radio, you could predict the PK DP coming a mile away. It's funny, but I was always taught that if you're on 3rd base, you should be running home on contact on any ball hit on the infield.
