QUOTE(Felix @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 10:27 PM) This umpire is the biggest piece of s*** I've ever seen in my life. How much is Boston paying him? Let me ask you this: Why in the f*** would you bring in a pitcher with terrible control when you know the umpire has a small zone?

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 10:24 PM) LOL> You all wanted him to go to the bullpen. Yeah...and not to our worst bullpen guy who has the greatest chance of having a meltdown.

Thanks Ozzie

In an elimination game...you go with your best. This should have been a 12 out game with Politte, Cotts, and Jenks.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 10:19 PM) 2 lefties and a switch hitter due up next. Politte is just as good against lefties.

It wouldn't be a Garcia start without him allowing the last batter he faces to score.

Why not go to Politte in the 6th? Why are we messing around with pitchers who have been erratic all season?

You guys have watched games all season. Right or wrong, Garcia will almost definitely be out there next inning.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 09:42 PM) Ouch. No cheapie that time Papi. :finger When I first read that, it made me think he hit a 3 run bomb.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 09:25 PM) Although he's worse, I just hope they ultra-pessimists don't come out either... There shouldn't be a single person ready to jump off the ledge if the White Sox were to lose today.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 09:24 PM) No, on any other day thats a fly ball for an out though. Even better. Who gives a s***, it was a homer. We just need to get the ball in the wind also.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 09:20 PM) I bet neither one of these f***sticks hits 40 homeruns in a normal f***ing ballpark. 250 ft shot is a homer, and that's foul in any other park. Those are two of the best power hitters in baseball. For every cheap homer they get, they probably hit a rocket off the monster that would be gone at any other park.

I'm not seeing the game, but Freddy sounds less than sharp today.

Garcia's struggled all year holding the opposition after the White Sox score.

QUOTE(Felix @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 09:00 PM) Because he was on first and Nixon has a good arm.. Thanks. That's what I thought, but someone in the office said he was on 2nd.

Question for those who can watch: Why didn't Iguchi score on Dye's 2 out hit?

Is it raining at the game?

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 08:41 PM) still waiting on someone to show me bias today...... I have heard them say nothing that is not accurate, nor fair Some people are getting way too worked up over the announcing. Who gives a s*** who Berman is cheering for? Personally, it makes winning games that much sweeter when you stick it to that ego king.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 08:30 PM) 3 run hr by Arow after a leadoff triple and walk! With so many people at working following this thread for updates, don't post s*** like that unless it happens or make it obvious it's a "prediction". Thanks

Was Pods out by a lot?

Rub your eye like crazy, and tell your boss you have pink eye.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 02:13 PM) Anyone else think we didn't see the best of Bobby last night at all? I know he's been struggling as of late, and he was throwing a lot of those fastballs high and away last night. Not having a go at him, because he still got the job done, and for a rookie in his 1st season in a high pressure situation, that's fantastic, but Bobby can be better, he can get that curve over in the strike zone more, and he can get that fastball in on the hitters more. I was thinking about this today driving to work. It's amazing how far Jenks has come this year. He was able to get 6 outs against a great hitting/patient teams without anywhere near his best stuff. He was overthrowing his fastball, which made it lose velocity and either cut too much or stay high and up. His curve, besides for one or two, was just rolling to the plate. It's fantastic he was still able to get guys out for 2 innings with just his talent, and nothing else. It's a lot better than seeing a less talented player get burned just cause he doesn't have the stuff to get MLB hitters out. If I was a Red Sox fan, I'd be furious at the terrible Damon AB in the 9th.

The White Sox have a total of 5 men LOB in the first two games of the season.

Berman's an annoying announcer, but some people seem obsessed about nitpicking every thing he says. It reminds me of Illini bball fans that would get pissed about everything Dick Vitale said last season. Who gives a f*** what the announcers say? It's the game on the field that matters!

It would sure be interesting if Wilder got the Arizona GM spot. We've often talked about the DBacks being a big trade possibility with the Sox this offseason. http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...-home-headlines
