It's too bad Garcia couldn't be facing the awful Twins line-up against today. He might have been able to keep us in this game.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:41 PM) Freddy's NOT going to get a W today OZZIE!!!! Yep.....but he'll still go 6 innings. Remember the big picture!!!!

QUOTE(WinninUgly @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:41 PM) He is real moody. If we get close by the next time he is up they should bring JD in. Ozzie would never ph for Everett.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:40 PM) 6-2... What a b****ass effort today If this team was to ever lose out by a game or so for the playoffs, these are the type of lame efforts you look back on and shake your head. The team didn't come to play today, it's that simple.

Ok, time to bring in Adkins.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:38 PM) This whole team is. PK is actually taking good swings today. Hopefully Rowand can get it going. It's pretty simple to explain why this team is slumping so much offensively when you look at what guys are batting in their last 50 ABs or so. About half the team is under .200.

QUOTE(WinninUgly @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:38 PM) Has Ozuna played 2B or just SS and 3B? I think he's played some 2nd base. Trust me, if he can play 3b (if you call that playing), then he can play 2nd base.

Good approach by Everett today!!

QUOTE(WinninUgly @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:36 PM) Yeah, he could use a day off. He's had plenty of days off. Hopefully he'll prove us wrong, but he looks like he might have hit the wall.

Ozuna should be used as the back-up at 2nd base, and not at 3rd base if we want to rest Iguchi.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:35 PM) Iguchi could use some rest And a confidence booster. Besides for the clutch homer, he's really been slumping. Just be thankful he came through in that big spot.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:33 PM) We will unfortunately have little FA money this year unless JR really bumps up payroll. So we will probably see Uribe and Crede Don't be surprised if we use guys like Contreras and Marte as chips to get a 1b and a 3b.

Even though Anderson hasn't had a hit in his last few ABs, he still looks a lot better at the plate than he initially did. For anyone that has seen him before, does he have any power to the opposite field? He seems like a dead-pull hitter.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:31 PM) No, for being a f***ing show off!! Wow, I wonder how other teams feel about Timo then?

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:29 PM) Did we seriously strand a man on 3rd with no outs? Oh ya, and rather quickly. Widger's having himself a phenomenally bad game, as is Iguchi.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:28 PM) If Bloomquist tries to steal 3rd, Freddy needs to stick 1 in his ear next ab!! Why, for showing more heart than anyone on the Sox besides Ozuna?

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:27 PM) Who wants to bet we lose this game 5-4? Leaving a man on third with no outs, should come back and bite us. It would only be fitting to how this team has performed offensively this past month. Considering we handed them two runs, and completely choked at scoring another run, a 5-4 game would really be disturbing. I don't think Garcia will shut down the Mariners though for the rest of the game.

Bloomquist has a better approach at the plate than any of our hitters now.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:24 PM) He probably will b/c Ozzie loves him. Jerry should spend some dough to get Furcal and Mueller. They would drastically improve us. Furcal's going to make a fortune with the Cubs. There's a better chance of PK running a 4.4 40 yd dash then there is of Furcal signing with the White Sox. If Furcal does sign with the Cubs, be careful driving at night around the city.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:21 PM) Next year no Uribe or Crede. They simply just suck. Uribe will be back. I think Crede is on his way out though.

I love Sunday lineups. It's a good thing Dye isn't batting 5th or 6th today.

Uribe sure seems to be holding the bat close to his chest.

Widger's having a very poor game.

Nice triple by the most underrated player in quite a long time for the Sox! Just kidding, but it was nice to see him go the opposite way with authority.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:14 PM) Rangers aren't hitting well right now, we should at least split, if not take 3 of 4............ A sweep would be AWESOME!!!! Last time I heard someone predict a Sox sleep, we lost 2 of 3 at KC. I'll be thrilled with a 3 out of 4 in Texas, and content if we split the series.
