QUOTE(CYGarland @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 07:34 PM) NOPE. Looks like alot of people have jumped off the bandwagon thanks to our wonderful August Yeah, the crowds have been quite poor. I'm not going to lose sleep over it, but our players obviously took offense to it. I would love to be wrong that my prediction after those comments were made that a full collapse was upcoming. Lets go Twins!

Not a full house at the game today, is it?

QUOTE(ottawa_sox @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 07:24 PM) Perhaps this will be a blessing in disguise. This performance might hasten the permanent arrival of McCarthy. Yeah, just how we thought Marte getting roughed up in the first game of the KC series would show Ozzie not to use Marte late in the game. That hope lasted about 24 hours.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 07:21 PM) Don't worry we should make the playoffs. We have an 8 game lead in the WC if we fail to hold the Division. And Oakland still has to play Cleveland, and the YAnkees have some more games w/ the BOSox....... I'm more worried were going to be 1 and out again come playoffs :banghead We still have 6 games left against the Indians, who are playing better than anyone in baseball.

QUOTE(ottawa_sox @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 07:18 PM) I feel a little more apprehensive about the old guy on the mound than Ozzie. The old guy on the mound shouldn't be starting over McCarthy. His ERA now is just about 5.

You know, maybe, just maybe, our pitchers are struggling so much in this 2nd half of the year because Ozzie refused to ever pull them from the game until he got 100 pct out of their arm every game.

QUOTE(SnB @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 07:16 PM) all you can do is laugh right now And just hope that a lot of people get fired if this team doesn't make the playoffs.

HOLY f***ING s***!!!! I hate our manager, plain and simple. Duque should be pulled right now.

Great catch by Rowand.........DUQUE NEEDS TO JUST LEAVE!

When do we play the Tigers again?

PULL HIS ASS OZZIE! Stop playing guys who have continued to fail! McCarthy deserves to be starting before Duque.

Anyone else just really annoyed with the Sox now? Between the in-game managing, the commenting in the booth and in the papers....I've just found myself really irritated with this team. Reminds me more of recent Cubs teams than anything else.

Nice f***ing start Duque.

QUOTE(SnB @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 07:08 PM) i think he has a better chance than duke Who the hell would want Duque at about 5 million next season?

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 07:04 PM) Why? Count has had a really nice year. I can guarentee Count is with this team unless we're getting a stud in return. With the weak FA crop this offseason, and the Sox offensive needs, Contreras is easily our best trade chip. Trust me, I'd rather get rid of Duque...but that would do nothing for our team in regards to getting talent in return.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 06:42 PM) I would not rule that out at all. However, I believe KW is going to rekindle some talks with TB or MIL, and Overbay or Huff will be on the Sox next season. I just think that Furcal is going to get a ton of money from a Chicago team....and he'll be playing SS for the Cubs. I think there's a very good chance we trade for Overbay if Konerko leaves town. I'll be shocked if Contreras and Marte are on the Sox next season.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 06:38 PM) Furcal will be our 2 hitter next year, imo. I'll guarantee that the Sox don't sign Furcal. Iguchi is our 2b, and Uribe is our starting SS. It's the 3b spot we need an upgrade, and we're not going to stick Uribe at 3b.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 06:31 PM) Best thing I see there is no Everret. Sit his ass on the bench. Yep....about 5 games too late. I also serverely disagree with the plan of putting McCarthy into the game as a long reliever. If he's going to pitch, it should be as a starter. No reason to put him in a situation where he doesn't have a lot of experience just because Duque is washed up.

I'm sure happy the Bears took a RB in the draft instead of another WR to compliment Moose. He's the only WR that can get open.

I'll gladly take my chances against Escobar or the rookie instead of against Colon. This Sox team isn't exactly a terrific hitting team against top fastballs.

We'll see Marte frequently this series with G. Anderson on the Angels.

Big series this weekend, but as long as the Sox don't get swept, no reason to really panic if we lose a few games. I'm not going to be in the game thread for the next two days, so I'll say it now "PULL HIM OZZIE!". Go White Sox!

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 03:49 AM) You guys are missing the thing. If the Indians win than the Sox would probably play the winner of the AL West (I'm guessing they'll have the worse record of the division winners) and not Cleveland in the 1st round. I don't want to talk for everyone, but I'm pretty sure people were aware of that concept. For the time being, I'll root for the Sox to win every game, and cheer for the Indians and every other wild card contender to lose. Lets go Johan!

QUOTE(Colorado Sox Fan @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 03:46 AM) We could easily get our asses kicked by Cleveland. Hopefully no bashes you for this comment, but it's definitely possible. The Indians are playing sensational baseball, and even if it was against subpar teams, it has given them a TON of confidence. This isn't the same Indians team we beat up on earlier in the year where guys like Blake, Perralta, and Boone were automatic outs.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 03:42 AM) I'll worry about who I'd rather see in the playoffs when we officially clinch the central. Best post of the night!
