QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 01:22 AM) Sox don't advance past the first round, or good forbid--collapse before the seasons end, this is going back to Williams. Don't make a deadline move or acquire Griffey, especially after these latest offensive troubles, you'll have a lot of explaining to do. If they make the playoffs, KW is off the hook. IF we don't make the playoffs (I pray that we do make it), KW should be fired. You better believe who our next GM would be......?

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 01:22 AM) How much of the lead will slip away before they bring up Owens? You mean the next Willie Harris? I'm sorry, but if we expect him to help us at all, we're screwed. I still have the feeling we DL'd Pods not cause he was really hurt, but because we wanted to give him a rest.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 01:22 AM) WE ARENT PLAYING THE WAY WE PLAYED WHEN WE BUILT THIS LEAD. WE ARE NOT ADVANCING RUNNERS, WE ARE NOT PLAYING DEFENSE, WE ARE NOT AGGRESSIVE. WE HAVE LOST EVERY BIT OF THE STYLE THAT HAS MADE US GOOD. NOW THE TWINS HAVE IT ON DISPLAY, REMEMBER? WE AREN'T GETTING LUCKY!

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 01:21 AM) I'm going for the jinx. Are you seriously rooting for the no-hitter? How would Hawk explain the greatest team ever being no-hit?

QUOTE(ChiSox_Sonix @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 01:20 AM) Just saw on YES that we're gonna see Mussina, Chacon and Wright vs the Yankee$ The 5 game streak could very well be 6 or 8 by sunday :puke No Randy? That's good.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 01:19 AM) JOHAN SANTANA HAS A NO HITTER THROUGH 4. Since it's likely we won't score 5 runs tonight, I hope he gets the no-hitter.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 01:20 AM) The funny thing is im not upset. Normally I'd be throwing things. I guess thats what a big lead does. FOR REAL, REAL YO!!!!!!!!! Funny thing is that I agree with you.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 01:18 AM) We need to admit that we may be seeing the beginning of one of the largest collapses in sports history. How pathetic. You think this is bad? If the lead gets to like 3, there will be meltdowns of biblical proportions. I'm actually sitting back and enjoying our double digit lead. I'm not sure how much longer we'll be able to say that.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 01:18 AM) Ozzie needs to get Burhrle out of here, Give his arm some rest. Put Adkins in and let him get hammered, this game is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO over! Ha, good luck with that happening.

Buehrle continues to struggle against the top teams in the AL. Outside of the Angels, he's been pretty awful against teams like Boston, Oakland, and the Twins. There's not a doubt in my mind that Garland is our ace.

For the first time all year, I'm changing the channel. This ship is sinking, and it's gathering more water day by day.

QUOTE(BlackBetsy @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 01:14 AM) Time for a MELTDOWN THREAD. No, no, no. Meltdown's can only happen if the lead gets within legit distance, such as 6. I do love how great our manager has been at motivating these guys.

QUOTE(tony72 @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 01:13 AM) I almost hope the lead goes down ...so Kenny and Jerry realize that this team needs help and snaps out of their complacency... By that time, it will be too late to make an acquisition.

Anderson looked pretty s***ty on that play. Buehrle just sucks now. Where's that guy who thought I was dumb for saying I'd take Santana over Buehrle in a heartbeat?

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 01:12 AM) 35:1 we don't win the division.... I would take that bet. Not saying it will likely happen, but at those odds, I think the possibility is higher than a lot of other bets at similar odds.

The Twins actually seem like they're having fun playing. The Sox players look like they have a stick up their ass.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 01:10 AM) THANK GOD WE HAVE A HUGE LEAD IN THE DIVISION!! Best post of the night. Every day, I look at the date, and just wish it was late September already with the Sox having the lead.

This is vintage Sox vs Twins late in the season baseball.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 01:08 AM) Yeah, this is getting downright pathetic. Wait until we face Mussina, Randy, Radke, Santana, Silva, and Felix Hernandez next week.

Watching this game, who would have ever thought that one of these guys was the AS game starter, and the other wasn't.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 01:06 AM) We suck right now. SUCK SUCK SUCK. Nice to see you come around. Will you now admit that this division is not a guarantee?

If we're going to lose, I really want the Sox to get no-hit. I don't think that makes me a bad fan. Rather, hopefully it would be a slap in our faces, and wake some people the f*** up. As long as it's not a Cubs pitcher, I don't mind it.

Way to go Buehrle!

We're missing these pitches by a foot. Not only that, but the crowd has already been taken out of the game.

Good grief. Someone might want to tell him Santana has a change-up.
