QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 12:36 AM) I guess a run is good? YES

I'll take the run!

QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 12:35 AM) 7-1 blue jays but the yankees have tied orioles, 1-1 Alex Rodriguez is pretty good.

Better get at least one run this inning.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 12:34 AM) It livened up the mood in the dugout too. I think the Sox are gonna score a few more runs tonight. Folks you heard it here first, if the Sox find a way to get into the playoffs..there offense will come through in the postseason. I'm not the optimistic one, but I agree with your belief about the offense picking up. These players are under such negative stress right now, they're pressing so much at the plate. Once they get into the playoffs, they'll basically go from chokers to underdogs.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 12:33 AM) that is why we are going to clinch playoff spot tonight! i say we all bend our ladies over real hard tonight! STOP IT!

QUOTE(Y2HH @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 12:32 AM) Wow this is SAD seeing Sox fans, no matter how desperate for a win we may be, wishing for nature to help us out. If we can't do this on our own, against the TIGERS, we don't belong here in the first place. I'll take the win however we can get it. I don't care if the other team has to forfeit because they're pitching Danny Almonte.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 12:32 AM) i just wanna say that JC is right now tied with Johan Santana as the best pitchers in the AL. i am so happy that KW's made that deal happen. & it all stems back to Esteban doing well enough to have trade value. i hope we play the yankees first and that JC kicks their butts! Man, you don't believe in jinxes, do you?

Blue Jays have a chance to break open their game.

Great f***ing inning by Contreras. Take your time at the plate!

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 12:29 AM) That radar is 35 minutes old. The grounds crew looks to be getting ready behind home plate.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 12:28 AM) Anderson isn't much of a drop-off, in any at all, from Rowand. I think Ozzie knows how good he is out there. Trust me, I'm not disagreeing with you. I honestly do like Ozzie's philosophy of going down with your core guys. However, that doesn't mean you can't sub them out once every two weeks.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 12:26 AM) I agree, I'd probably give him and AJ another day off. Everett earned himself another start with that triple. Jose please please put it on cruise control from here. We could really use it again. Everett earned himself the starting spot for the rest of the year. As dire as things have been, that was a huge, huge hit.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 12:26 AM) I'd give him a couple nights off. Let Anderson play a little bit, get Rowand's s*** straight. I can't imagine Ozzie doing that with the big center field here.

BTW, did anyone notice that Everett went back to hit 2 strike stance during that AB? I hadn't been noticing it recently.

That was a big run squandered on 3rd. Can't get greedy though with this team.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 12:24 AM) Still a few innings away. Damn

Anyone have any clue how close the rain is?

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 12:22 AM) I will cry if they have a 3-1 lead and the game doesn't get past the 5th. CRY I tell you There will be enough time to get in the next inning. Contreras just has to hold them down.

Rowand...hit the ball in the f***ing air!

Maybe the Tigers will forget and leave their SS back for Rowand's AB?

GOOD CALL OZZIE!!! That ball hung up so long, I was worried Granderson was going to come flying into the picture at the last second. I was worried for jphat's health for a second.

HOLY f***ING s***!!!!

I'm so thankful that Everett is playing.

QUOTE(Y2HH @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 12:16 AM) I think we also can look at Uribe's recent run of success. He added a little leg kick and took batting tips from a DIFFERENT HITTING COACH...then goes on a tear...then after working with Walker again for a few weeks, he's right back where he started. I don't know why you people cant see it. The Indians, WITH the offense they have, had this same problem, saw it...and fixed it. We sit back on it and say it's not his fault. Yea...it is. Trust me, most of us want Walker to be fired at the end of this season. SSI has been on his case all season. However, this blame goes on the players now. They need to grow a pair and focus with RISP.
