Why, oh f***ing why, won't Ozzie pull him?

YOU f***ING SUCK!

No pop ups!

All I can say is keep it going!!! Boy, would this be a good time to Everett time a fastball down the plate.

Orioles out in the 8th.

Well...well..well... No double plays!

If he takes a called 3rd here......ugh!

Good AB by Crede. PUT CREDE IN THE 3RD SPOT!!! Just kidding... I think.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 01:44 AM) if he can run, hit, & field then you better get your butt in there if the playoffs are on the line. end of story! Well, he couldn't run that day. If you saw him on the news the night before, he looked so mentall and physically worn out.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 01:38 AM) i read your post...thanks didnt follow up that story it made me so sick. you know the oldtimers must really puke what goes on these days with the way money and attitude dictate everything. Money and attitude? Bonds just threw himself into action without any significant rehab time. He showed a lot more balls than most people would give him credit for by coming back when he did.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 01:39 AM) No, they won't. Sox are the better team and need to start playing there game. Things may work out tonight and this could be the win that gets the momentum back on the Sox side. And it may not be, regardless, Sox are a playoff caliber team and all they need to do is get back to basics and start executing. I have my fears that the staff has just been totally burned out, but hopefully thats not the case. You know I'm a pessimist, but I honestly believe the Indians are the best team in baseball. They have an extremely deep, talented lineup, a great bullpen, and some starting pitchers who have stepped it up big time. If you add confidence and their comeback ability, they're my pick to win the World Series.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 01:38 AM) Screw that. You take Freddy out now and you not only lose todays game but possibly tomorrow's and wednesdays. Yeah, this game is just about over. You keep Garcia in there, and make him save the pen.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 01:37 AM) That's what happens when Ozzie wants speed. He probably figured on having Frank here more than just a handful of games too. I said it the other day, but I can't wait for the justification after the season for the emphasis on speed. If you have the previous year's offense with this pitching, you have a World Series contending team. What you have this year is a division contending team.

Why does Garcia keep throwing him fastballs? Garcia ONCE AGAIN lives up to his reputation as a terrible competitor.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 01:33 AM) I suppose so. But when Podsednik struggles, so does this offense. I guess this offense can stuggle with or with out Podsednik. We've lacked a number 3 hitter all season.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 01:33 AM) 4 runs in the last 33 innings! White Sox baseball. Feel the excitement! I can't wait for the pennant run when this team stops coasting and turns it on! Thankfully, Ozzie has a plan, and he knows exactly what he has to do in order to motivate his players.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 01:31 AM) if i were bonds and realized my chances were dwindling...you would have had to kill me to keep me out of the lineup! ease things back? why did he play the first 2 games? it was a day game after a night game so they rested him. alou is not a good manager! Like I said, Bonds told him he couldn't play that game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This offense is as bad as it was during our 7 game losing streak.

AJP will explode if he K's here.

Great to see the Yankees get huge contributions from guys like Small, Chacon, and Wang...and our big 3 look like minor league pitcher sometimes.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 01:24 AM) back to the subject of giving guys rest on the third game...did anyone notice how stupid alou is of SF for letting bonds rest when they played the third game against the SD the other day? i mean what is he tired? if i were SF fan i would hate that manager. win that game and they wouldve been 4 back at the time. yeah no prob give him the day of WTF? Actually, he said he was extremely tired and didn't even feel like he could be at the park that day.

You know things suck when it's so damn predictable Garcia would give up a run in the first inning, and that the offense wouldn't score the first time through the order.

A crooked number for the Sox now is a 1 with the top and bottom slashes emphasized.

Another awful AB by Everett. For as much subbing as Ozzie has done all year, it boggles my mind he hasn't given Everett a day off.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 01:20 AM) I am never going to live at school if the Sox blow this lead even if they make the Wild Card. It was much worse around Cubs fans in college during the 2003 playoffs. Things never get as bad as you'll think.
