How are the fans at the game not booing like crazy?

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 07:10 PM) Crede's hitting .128 in August And that's a very soft .128.

Crede's best chance of getting on base is getting hit by a pitch.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 07:05 PM) I wouldn't pin it 100% on KW. The Sox as an organization have talked about how they like the makeup of this team, and how they wouldn't make a move just to make a move. As soon as Frank went down, I think that was the time to become more aggressive trade-wise. It's much more difficult now to address the offense from outside the organization, regardless of "where would he play". That falls on the shoulders of Ozzie and KW. There's no one else that can be criticized for the personnel we have on the field.

QUOTE(Ozzie Montana @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 07:02 PM) he started out so good and look what happened. He's facing a great lineup. Outside of the throwing error, he pitched pretty solid today. It's just pathetic that our offense is in one of the worst stretches in White Sox history.

QUOTE(Ozzie Montana @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 06:56 PM) we are bad What reason do we have to believe we should have won today's game? Look at our lineup! That's not the lineup of a MLB team that should win more than 3 out of 10 games.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 06:54 PM) exactly. Carl's just about on average for his career. I actually think the Sox will pull out of this on the road, not at home. More pressure at home. If we have no options on the bench, then KW has failed us. It's been obvious for almost a month that our offense hit the wall. I can't believe that we did nothing to replace Frank's presence on the roster and had no back-up option for when we decided to proactively put Pods on the DL.

One hit away from a 7 game losing streak, with no end in sight.

QUOTE(CWSOX45 @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 06:47 PM) Watching this team is like watching a train wreck....it's so bad....i just cant help but watch..... Lord make it stop... CWSOX45 It will get better soon. We face Randy Johnson and Santana in our next two games.

I never thought I would have seen the day where Duque is the most spirited player on the White Sox. Good for him!

Carl Everett is so far out in front of pitches, it's not even funny. Seriously, how can Ozzie justify keeping this same lineup? When you get very few offensive chances to score runs, you can't blow them trying to be cute cause your girlfriend is batting.

We have 5 innings to score 3 runs. How about this Ozzie.....lose the thought of bunting or anything like it. If this team can't score runs by swinging the bat, then you don't have to worry about the playoffs.

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 06:35 PM) I also didn't say the team doesn't suck right now, it does. But it doesn't surprise me that you can't find a positive out of anything that's been going on, jeezus. I sense you enjoy being miserable, I hope that's not the case. Thanks for telling me how I feel. Weren't you one of the people saying that Ozzie would never let this team go flat for an extended period, and that the division was locked up? JimH, I don't want to fight with you right now. I know a lot of people will take out their frustrations by ripping on people like myself and SSI. Lets just win some f***ing games.

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 06:31 PM) I didn't say the defense has been great did I? Iguchi hasn't been that bad, calm down and quit looking at the dark side of everything, GMAFB with that. Dark side of everything? This team just flat out sucks now. I don't know how anyone can find a positive out of anything that's been going on. Thankfully, we have the great Ozzie Guillen to motivate this team and the great Kenny Williams to make sure he makes proper personnel moves.

QUOTE(S720 @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 06:30 PM) It's not Iguchi's fault. It's El Duque's error. Why didn't he go to third instead of 2nd? Man, we are really playing terribly right now. I'm afraid WSoxMatt is correct with the way we've been hitting! Damn!!! You know what's scary! Don't even think about the playoff. We might not even make it now with the way we've been playing. Why would you go to third? The routine play is the 1-6-3 or 1-4-3 DP. There was miscommunication between our 2b and SS, no other excuse is necessary.

Super, we have ARod even more focused because we threw at him for no reason. Can someone throw at Crede, Dye, Iguchi, and Rowand?

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 06:29 PM) I am not even angry at this point, I am just completly emotionless. Just like the White Sox.

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 06:28 PM) Yeah, that play last nite on the deflected grounder off Blum's glove ... brutal. Wow, one good play, and that makes up for a ton of miscues over the last month or so. GMAFB, our defense has been awful overall for a while now. Outside of Rowand's D in NY, the defense has sucked lately.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 06:27 PM) What are the odds on an A-Rod homer here. Not sure it will be ARod, but I have a feeling this game will be out of hand before Yanks are done batting this inning.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 06:27 PM) Luckily I am leaving the house in 10 minutes, what the hell was Iguchi doing, catch the ball. Iguchi's had his head up his add in the field for quite a while.

This team is just expecting to lose every game, aren't they?

Yep, this team has totally collapsed. If you couldn't predict the error coming there, you haven't watched Sox games this month. Another brilliant play by our infield defense.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 06:23 PM) I wonder how many bodyguards they will need at soxfest for the Timo Perez autograph line. Well, he'll be hard to find as he's underneath the table that Ozzie will be signing autographs from.

Wow, this wasn't predictable. Lets go Seattle and Baltimore.

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 06:22 PM) that inning personified the last month of white sox baseball. It really did. It showed that our manager is overmatched, and that our execution is just terrible.
