QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 06:31 PM) No doubt it will be KW. OG will get away with his job where he'll stay for the remainder of his contract to suck and continue to prevent us from being good enough to win the WS. It should be Ozzie, without a doubt. But, it will be KW. You know I couldn't agree more with you. I wonder if Ozzie will get along good with Steve Stone.

I don't think AJP was trying to hit a single there, do you?

Great screen and patience all around by the Bears on 3rd down.

At what point does Ozzie try to get something going and go out and get ejected for going on a tirade against the first base umpire? Did you notice the frustration by PK and Pods?

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 06:24 PM) Yep. If we do blow this, it's going to be VERY hard for this franchise to overcome this for quite awhile. Sad but true. And that's one of the reasons that either our GM or Manager will be fired.

Good play by Blum. Question though: why is Crede being benched when he's been swinging well, but we don't give Everett or PK the day off?

QUOTE(tony72 @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 06:21 PM) I am so tired of seeing Carl swing at ball four...he can be a very selfish hitter.. He just needs to go this offseason. I appreciate his hustle, but he's just not a good overall player.

QUOTE(downstairs @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 06:21 PM) Yep. He's getting pathetic. "You had two calls, and you blew them both". Ummm.... hows about Paule goes ahead and jacks that questionable pitch into the stands, rather than letting the ump decide?? Or lays off two sliders well outside. With this umpire's small strike zone, we could have easily had our first 4 batters reach base.

QUOTE(SnB @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 06:20 PM) no no 2 awful calls. god hates us right now. Yes, it's really hard right now. At least there's soxtalk to talk and rant about stuff with other fans.

alert! alert! Full Hawk meltdown is possible today. Have your tape recorders ready, because there's going to be some memorable quotes.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 06:18 PM) Well Hawk is blaming the collapse on that call now. Haha, I was going to start a thread with only updated Hawk quotes for the rest of the season.

Cleveland's winning 8-0. It must be fun to be a fan of theirs right now.

QUOTE(Sox Hustler @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 06:16 PM) That still doesn't make our situation better. To me, that would mean it wasn't meant to be. We'll have no Bartmans or goats to blame for this.

Everett chases ball 4, and flies out weakly to the outfield.

QUOTE(tony72 @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 06:15 PM) I think we seriously have to look at the wild card.... Yankees have a much easier schedule than we do.

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 06:14 PM) It really sucks that we have come down to rooting for Kansas City to beat Cleveland. God damn it Sox if you blow this, I think a part of me might die. Don't let it get to you this much. If this team can't make the playoffs with a 15 game lead, they don't deserve to make it.

This umpire has the smallest strike zone ever.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 06:13 PM) JESUS CHRIST STOP RUNNING YOU DOUCHEBAG! I'm the first person to blame Pods for stuff, but that was a balk without a doubt.

Unbelievable. Pods gets picked off.....AGAIN! Ozzie's arguing it was a balk. After further review, that was a massive balk.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 06:10 PM) CC had a so-so 1st half, and he's having a great 2nd half. That does not equate to an upper echelon pitcher IMO. But he is stepping it up when it counts the most. No, but I would refer to him as an upper echelon pitcher in general. Yes, he was awful in the first half of the season. However, whatever was wrong, he cured it and he's just dominating teams now.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 06:08 PM) Because I thought you said it. Upon looking at it again, you didn't say it. I apologize for the false accusation. No problem

Well, Ozzie's quote was that you have to tip your cap to Santana and just move on. How many times can we say this about him until we try something different against the guy?

Cleveland won. They're up 4-0, and KC has no chance against C.C., who over the last two months has stepped up like the upper echelon pitcher he is.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 06:03 PM) No, you got ripped because you said Santana Moss burned him all day, when in reality, it was Azumah who couldn't cover a piece of grass last weekend. And, well, because you said "f*** this board" about a month ago, and are still here. That's probably the funniest thing of all. I'm still waiting to know why you accused me of b****ing about the defenders not getting their hands up?

ARod homers, making it 4-2 Blue Jays in the 3rd inning.
