QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 01:55 AM) DAMMIT. You gotta be kidding me. Rowand put a very good swing on that ball. And Dye just took an absolutely great pitch to mash on 2-1.

QUOTE(That funky motion @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 01:53 AM) Another guy swinging for the fences. A bad catcher and willie at 2nd! Oh and Bmac as your 5th starter in the beg of the year when he was bad! As opposed to Duque being bad in the 2nd half of the year and handicapping your payroll next season with his contract? AJP and Iguchi were huge upgrades over who would have been at their position though.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 01:51 AM) Well JG is doing HIS part. Yeah, he's overcome a ton of leadoff hits. I'm proud of the balls he's shown tonight after the last two just heartless efforts by our "stud" pitchers.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 01:49 AM) What this offense would look like with Carlos Lee instead of Pods. Trust me, there have been hundreds of times where I want to make the statement that I would do anything to take that trade back. HOWEVER, the rest of the roster would have been a lot different.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 01:49 AM) The point was more that it was a hard hit ball hit right at a defender. Gotcha, I agree. Everett's at least swinging the bat better now. Ozzie has got to put PK back in the 4th spot immediately.

QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 01:47 AM) punto Silly me

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 01:46 AM) This is looking fairly reminiscent of the last few years :banghead Which means Lew Ford will get a cheap infield single to score a run with 2 outs.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 01:45 AM) Boy, the twinkies announcers are just loving the sox collapse Can you blame them?

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 01:45 AM) Just incredible. Don't let Nick c***o's size fool you. That wasn't a very tough catch, nor was the liner back to Baker before. Jones was the only catch of the game that was a true tough catch.

Big inning for Garland here.

Anyone notice how we're a lineup who relies on the homer, but whenever we play the Twins late in the season, the field always seems like it's 1000 feet deep?

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 01:44 AM) CLE now 30-11 in their last 41 Don't worry, I was told they were going to cool off.

Dear Ozzie Guillen: Please move Paul Konerko back to the 4th spot of the lineup.

Well, I'm 1-1 with my predictions.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 01:40 AM) He's 4 out of his last 12 with a couple of pick offs. Its time for a stop sign. Wasn't he pretty awful before that?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 01:38 AM) Here comes pitch 10 of this at bat Pop up to 2nd Grounder to 3rd base Fly ball to LF

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 01:38 AM) Our offnse is just not that good. If our pitching and Defense doesn't step it up were going to be looking at a humiliating offseason. I'm honestly not worried about the offseason. If this team does choke down the stretch, then we deserve anything bad that happens to us. Just remember this: no one really cares about the Sox. I know a lot of people think the national media will bury this franchise. In all honesty, the biggest concern for me is that the fan reaction for next season would be just awful, and attendance would really suffer.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 01:36 AM) I'm growing tired of all the outs made on the basepaths... At some point, you just have to say enough already. If you want to put Pods in motion, then put the hit-and-run on. He isn't even coming close to stealing bases lately. I don't want to be rude about it, but Pods is an extremely below average player if he can't steal bases.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 01:36 AM) we're getting 2 hit by a rookie One hit into the outfield.

Baker doesn't even have great control. We've been able to work the count on him and draw some walks when we're not weakly making outs on the first pitch.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 01:32 AM) Yes it does. Caught stealing totals don't include pickoffs if the player was headed back to the base.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 01:30 AM) It kinda feels like the perfect storm. Everything is going against us. Great D, perfect throws. Mercy. It starts with the Sox. Good defense is just another obstacle they have to overcome. KC played some real poor defense in the last series, but we just made stupider decisions and played even worse defense.

QUOTE(Brian @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 01:30 AM) Horrible jump by Pods. Has been thrown out 22 times now. Don't forget about the 8 times he's been picked off that don't count towards that number.

What an absolute joke. Pods might as well be on the bench now, he's making an out on the bases everytime he gets on base. Here's an idea.....if he's in such a slump on the bases, DONT SEND HIM! Indians lead 3-1 going into the bottom of the 8th. They're playing superb defense.

Another weak grounder to SS. Our hitters look like they can't touch the inside fastball by Baker.
