Sit down your overrated choker.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 01:07 AM) It's amazing observing the contrast between these two clubs. They're simultaneously aggressive and patient. It's as if they have an understanding of which pitches to hit in certain counts. Rarely do they waste AB's, and even outs are hard hit. Indians came in here determined. We wet ourself thus far. Their best players also have terrific line drive swings.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 01:05 AM) How did Millwood get his ERA under 3 in the AL? He has some amazing numbers with RISP, especially with the bases loaded.

Why can't Hawk just shut the f*** up?

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 01:03 AM) Why pitch Viz against the Indians, he throw so many balls with that slider and the Indians are a very patient team. Baj is a guy they haven't seen before and at least he will go right after them and pitch them inside. You must have not been watching Ozzie manage for the last two years if you think he'd go to Bajo before a veteran.

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 01:03 AM) 6 of those 10 wins were by a scant 1 run!!! And most of them were on days where it was definitely pitching weather. Remember that start in Cleveland where Garcia would have allowed 10 homers if not for the wind blowing in? He had similar stuff to what he has tonight.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 01:01 AM) This division is the Indians' to win. There's not a doubt in my mind the wild card is our best friend now.

Good play by Crede on another hanger by Garcia.

Question: Does anyone on here think we're a better team than the Indians?

Lucky that wasn't a gapper. Ozzie should pull Garcia now while this game is still a possible comeback.

Garcia was defeated before he even walked onto the field tonight. I know personal attacks aren't allowed, but maybe we should look to trade Garcia and his amazing work ethic, and build with our two home grown aces.

Bless this crowd, as they're getting extremely restless.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 12:56 AM) The man on the bump tonight is physically incapable of pitching inside and pitching there effectively. He did it once this year. Wrigley Field. And that was because the wind was howling in.

That should have been strike 3. This umpire doesn't seem to have the balls to call strike 3.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 12:51 AM) yeah, that 1-hitter in minny was a laugher That's one start out of a string of subpar performances from someone who's paid a lot of money to be our ace.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 12:50 AM) And Boston has tied TB 4-4. :banghead Seriously, does this surprise anyone? These teams have great lineups and have shown a sense of urgency lately.

Garcia's going to get himself booed off the field tonight.

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 12:47 AM) 1B ARod 2-1 Os Bags loaded 0 out That's about to be a Yankees lead. It must be nice to have the offense to comeback so quickly from a deficit. I bet H. Matsui isn't getting caught stealing.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 12:46 AM) Rowand is not a three hole hitter. We don't really have a bonafide three hole hitter. We have a clean-up/ five hole hitter in konerko. And one could argue the lack of a three hole hitter is what's hurt our offense the most this year.

We have to be on the worst base running streak ever! This offense just sucks.

Who the f*** told WCIU to use the angle behind the catcher?

I have no clue how Dye took that 0-2 pitch.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 12:38 AM) I think Freddy just got pissed off. Finally. He MUST challenge these f***s. They've made their run against a soft schedule. You cannot let them get ahead in the count. Attack, attack, attack. They've beat every team they've played lately, good or bad. This Indians team is EXCELLENT! They have no weak links.

QUOTE(CWSOX45 @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 12:37 AM) Yeah but our offense is to blame as well. It has been nearly non existant for the past 2 months. Minus the streak where we won 7 in a row. Our offense has been non existent basically all season. This team is where they're at because of the starting pitching. RARELY has this offense picked up the starting pitching. I wonder how many games we've won this year where our pitching allowed 5 or more runs. This is why we're an awful match-up vs these Indians now. They're swinging the bats so well, that we can't outslug them.

QUOTE(CWSOX45 @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 12:35 AM) This offense really does suck. I dont know why Walker is still around. CWSOX45 This has more to do with our 9 million dollar pitcher having an ERA approaching 4.75 in the 2nd half of the season.
