QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 01:28 AM) TB has runners on the corners 0 out, Huff at bat. 2 outs

Huff has first and third, 2 outs. Lets see if Aubrey can help us out this season.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 01:25 AM) I'm not exaggerating when I say that thought makes me physically ill. Regardless of the season outcome, this August would have to be considered a major collapse. I've been preaching all year that I didn't think we'd maintain our lead, but never in my wildest dreams did I think we'd lose 5 or 6 games in the standings so quickly. We just need to win some games, especially ones like tonight that are toss-ups.

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 01:24 AM) props to freddy for keeping us in this thing Yep, he's pitching very well. It just sucks to think that one mistake could cost him this game.

QUOTE(chisoxfan79 @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 01:22 AM) This is what happens when you play the Royals and D-Rays and the Yankees and Orioles

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 01:20 AM) If our lead is 5 games or less going into September... I'm not even being pessimistic when I say that's very possible with our schedule the way it is, and the pitchers we face.

I'm getting sick and tired of the Indians coming back in all these games where they're down by 4 or 5 runs.

Indians have so much confidence coming back in games now, it's not even funny. This would be like the 6th time in the last month they've comeback from at least a 4 run lead to win the game (assuming they hold on to win). This lead is diminishing at a frightening pace (assuming our great offense continues tonight).

Blum fits right in with White Sox players who suck from the right side of the plate when switch hitting.

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 01:17 AM) this magic number might as well be dead. it doesn't move No s***. Where's all those people who were making fun of certain posters who were concerned about the Indians score a few weeks ago?

Indians lead 5-4 after the top of the 7th.

Indians have the lead....f***! Lead will be down to 7 likely if we can't score a f***ing run.

Maybe our hitters should take a different plan?

AJP might as well try to get hit by the pitch, as he's not even close to that change-up.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 01:14 AM) Alex Gonzalez contributed to one of the greatest collapses in history in 2003. Cut him a little slack. I was just about to type that. An all-time favorite of mine because of it.

QUOTE(ScottPodRulez22 @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 01:11 AM) What happened? Blake flew out, but Alex Gonzalez just bobbled a soft grounder. 4-3, 1st and 3rd, 2 outs.

f***ing Alex Gonzalez.

QUOTE(Dam8610 @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 01:08 AM) Last time, he was having a problem with tipping his change, which caused him to screw up his mechanics. As evidenced by his stats over his starts since going back down, he's fixed those problems. I'd say call him up and give him another shot if none of the regular starters can start that game. I'd also prefer to see him on the playoff roster over Adkins. We wouldn't need 12 pitchers on the playoff roster.

Indians have 2 on, 1 out in the 7th for the red hot Casey Blake.

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 01:03 AM) they're the devil rays..... Can we have their offense then?

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 01:04 AM) Guys were traded that could have helped this team. KW is looking for the home run or nothing. Nothing would be a disaster.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 01:02 AM) I just think he's doing his job and exploring as many avenues as possible. Let me just ask you this....will you still feel that way if we don't make another trade this season?

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 01:02 AM) Rowand has a very long swing right now, especially for him. His swing last year was as compact as I have ever seen. Big difference I've noticed in Rowand is that he's been fouling off a TON of good pitches to hit over the first base dugout. Also, he had a lot more doubles down the left field line last season. That all relates back to having too long of a swing this seaosn.

Rowand is getting a lot of good pitches to hit.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 12:59 AM) Be a little more realistic than that. You and I both know that Kenny Williams is doing anything to bring offensive help to this team... I disagree w/that. I think they either want to add a superstar like Griffey Jr., or nothing at all. Ozzie also doesn't want to be put in a situation where he'd have to bench Everett or Dye every other night, etc. I just think there are a lot of other players available, who aren't superstars, that could really add to this offense.
