QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 09:47 PM) I actually went with Borchard. I wouldn't mind seeing Joe get some at-bats with his power potential. That said, you really need to straighten Carl out come playoff time. It's a tough call. I think I went w/Timo because it's the more realistic choice. Of course, I would have liked to see the trio of Gload/Borchard/Anderson get some ABs in the last few weeks. I would like to see Anderson get a start vs Robertson in Detroit.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 09:45 PM) Timo...? Bingo

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 09:44 PM) Yah, but I doubt Gardenhire even bothers to be real honest. Maybe if they are down 1. I definitely think he'll manage to win this game. If he gets the chance to, he'd love to spoil things for the Sox.

Quick managerial suggestion: With the loaded bench the Twins have, you have to either keep Buehrle in this entire game or go to Cotts if he needs help. A righty pitcher will just end up with Mauer, Jones, and Morneau batting.

I can't believe what I voted for in the Everett poll.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 09:41 PM) That's an amazing hop. Bounced straight up off the front of 3rd base. I don't know if I've ever seen that. Looks like something that would have happened to the Sox at the Twinkie Dome in extra innings with a man on 2nd, and would prevent the Sox from scoring.

QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 09:41 PM) damn bag Saved us a double.

Buehrle has had terrific control of his fastball today.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 09:38 PM) Not saying he shouldnt' be benched, but Ozzie could just be trying to give him a chance to work out of it. He didn't bench Konerko or Dye earlier this season when they were in funks like this. Because there were also no legit replacements on the team at the time. Also, he knew he was going to need those two for the entire season. Right now, Ozzie should be taking this one game at a time.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 09:37 PM) Did he K on 3 pitches again? 4, and he wasn't even close.

Ozzie is hurting the team by being stubborn and leaving Everett in the order. BTW...I'm not blaming Ozzie for this. He's trying to stick with his veterans, but Everett is just a liability that is showing no effort to try and do better.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 09:33 PM) Like how many games or how many minutes today? Games?

How long have they been showing that magic number on the screen?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 09:31 PM) "middle of the order" I know, but those guys still have some good power.

Excellent double play. Iguchi throws better on the run than Kyle Orton.

Holy s***, that was bad! Not a promising start with the middle of the order looming.

It would be nice if we can get a few more runs.

Good job by Buehrle. He's going to just stick with that fastball, and that's what he needs to do.

There's that one. Need to get Bartlett out.

Great sequence by Buehrle.

And here comes trouble. Buehrle has to keep the ball in, and just stop throwing that awful change-up.

We need a double play here.

QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 09:11 PM) thats what the edit was for :banghead Hey, no problem.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 09:10 PM) This is so much our year! Cleveland gave the game away today! Thank you very much! I'm not going to start proclaiming it's our year when two of the three teams chasing us for the playoffs lose about once a week.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 09:06 PM) We still are. Trust me, I've wanted Everett benched for about a month now. If Ozzie wasn't going to bench him after the s*** in the paper, he never will.
