One day, Crede's going to learn that when a sinker pitcher is on the mound, you have to guard the line.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 12:45 AM) One of the easiest outs in the league...hands down. Not only that, but when he's struggling, he is the easiest out in the AL. Our left side of the infield is just a disgrace at the plate.

Mr. Gold Glove Crede continues his f***tacular play.

Wow, where is everyone?

Is that a run? Keep it up.

Give 'em hell Timo!

No homers to ARod here. Garland has a good sinker, but his slider looks very average tonight.

Jeter just saw more pitches in that AB than Timo will see all night. Ok, I swear that's my last Timo bash for the night. Prove me wrong Timo!

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 11:05 PM) I wish TImo would poke his eye out with his mascara brush and go away. Sadly, Timo has as good of a chance as having a good night as half of our players. At least with Timo, there's a chance of him hitting a line drive. Crede is well past the point of being a tough out. And yes, this is coming from the founder of OMIT TIMO.

Well, go Orioles and Mariners!

At least Ozzie can't pull our best hitter with a one run lead in the 9th inning tonight.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 10:54 PM) Paul Konerko is the root of our problems anyway. What we need is a lineup full of hitters who aren't concerned about silly stats like HRs and OBP. A line-up full of Timo Perez' will bring us a world championship. If PK is out for an extended period of time, we will not make the playoffs. He's the only one who's been having consistently good ABs lately.

Hey KW.....HELP!

QUOTE(3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 10:43 PM) Lineup changed, ESPN Radio saying that PK is out because of his back, Blum is in Things keep getting worse and worse. Figures, by far our most dangerous hitter in the lineup goes down.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 08:34 PM) Why is it awful? Is it becasue it's August 19th and they're worried about selling playoff tickets now instead of the last day of the season, or is it awful because of the actual commercial? The actual commercial is just real lame. I fully understand the purpose of trying to sell season tix next year in order to piggyback playoff tix with it.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 08:33 PM) The Neyer comments were about Clemens back. There is concern about his back, and thus why he might not be a good bet down the stretch. Not sure why everyone read something else into it. Neyer's comments had everything to do with the steroid rumor. He was definitely talking in "code", but if he thought it was cause of an injury, he would have said something like that.

QUOTE(ChiSox_Sonix @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 08:30 PM) For the rumor to be this widespread, you have to think there is at least a decent possibility of truth to it. Either way though, I hope it is confirmed one way or another soon. Oh, and it'snot just message boards. Radio shows have mentioned a similar rumor too, plus with Neyer's comments yesterday, I dunno, i personally have a hard time believing its bulls*** Or maybe it just so happened that a source who's usually accurate with his information received bad information.

Anyone else hear the latest Sox radio commercial dealing with playoff tickets? I appreciate the work that B. Boyer has done this year, but the commercials have been just awful.

Eckstein comes from a family with a history of a lot of medical problems. I will basically guarantee he's never done steroids. I think a lot of these rumors are coming from the same suggestion everyone is making that it's all-stars from the NL Central and AL East. And BTW, that J. Damon comment sounds like quite the alibi already.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 01:08 PM) Carpenter has a lot of wins. I was thinking Bud Selig. And yes, Carpenter deserves Cy Young this season.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 12:27 PM) On the NL side, I hope the voters recognize that in 7 of Clemen's starts the team was shut out. Zero runs in 7 starts. He should be the clear front runner for the Cy Young, but his record will probably knock him out. I'm thinking that someone else will probably knock him out.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 03:32 AM) Like I said earlier, the logic is that it forces the Sox to stay sharp. Remember how in 2000 the Sox ran out to a huge lead then were flat as could be in the second half and cruised into the playoffs and got swept cause they weren't sharp? Thats what Im afraid is happening now, the parallels are too strong to ignore. One big difference between 2000 and this season in regards to a team chasing the Sox is that the Twins have all the confidence in the world when they face the Sox. Also, the 2000 team was clearly better than any team in their division. I'm not so sure the Sox are clearly better than the Indians and Twins this season.

Well, Twins are on the verge of winning another game. They just seem to dominate teams the last 50 games of the season or so. I can't believe that anyone could have ever said they'd like to see the Twins stay close to the Sox.

Why's everyone guessing who it might be? It's obvious that the rumors are all centered around Clemens and Damon. There's no reason for people to be guessing it's other players, just because they're all-stars, etc. How much you want to bet that some people could say it's certain White Sox players? You know, we do have an all-star of our own who hit double-digit homers last season, and doesn't have one this year! Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Pods is on the juice. However, this whole thing has become a witch hunt. I'll believe the Clemens/Damon thing when it's announced by MLB.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 10:17 PM) I really like Roger Clemens, but in some sick way I want these rumors to be true about Damon and Clemens. I don't want these rumors to be true about Clemens at all. The Astros have been very good to Sox fans/Cubs haters like myself, especially last year. The Astros need Clemens in order to stay in front of the Cubs this season. I don't care if people dislike the fact I hate the Cubs....but I do!
