QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 02:25 AM) Base hit. Marte sucks. How come Ozzie gives him a free pass. I hate conspiracy theories.....however!

Nice fastball right down the plate by Marte.

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 02:23 AM) WORST POST OF THE YEAR :headshake um...72 wins Also, I don't see Ozzie pitching. :headshake Are you really defending this 9th inning managing? Even the most optimistic posters on this site are livid at Ozzie. Look around, it's not just me.

Is it too late to put Cotts in to face Tino? I'm so worried about the hanger. At least with Cotts, you don't really have to worry about that.

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 02:21 AM) GET MARTE OUT YOU DUMB MOTHER f***ER POSADA KILLS LEFTIES TO YOU STUPID ASS Our manager is a f***ing idiot. Even if we win this game, he's put us in a situation to lose.

Marte just can't throw his slider for a strike now without hanging it over the plate. That was a ball Hawk, STFU!

Remember when Marte had lights out stuff?

QUOTE(Sox Hustler @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 02:19 AM) f*** man, Hermy is flaking out, hes great but s*** man we need someone healthy. He's up in the pen. I think we know who flaked out.

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 02:17 AM) Matsui kills LHP and Marte can't get LH out. GOOD COMBO 2 more outs please with no runs!

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 02:18 AM) Ok, if Dustin is hurt I apologize. But if he isn't htis is f***in dumb, real f***in dumb. He's warming up in the pen.

Just remember this: Cotts hasn't allowed a run in 15 outings.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 02:16 AM) he is your closer for a reason. Let him fail if he has to but bring him in. If Hermanson blows a 2 run lead, you tip your cap to the Yankees and go get them in extras or the next game.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 02:15 AM) I'm in total agreement with Ozzie's move. Politte has been, in my mind, the best righty reliever the Sox have had this year. Better than Hermy. Didn't work out. Oh well. You have a closer for a reason...to get three outs in the 9th when you have a lead. Not only that, but why Marte instead of Cotts here?

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 02:14 AM) And I know a lot of people are desperate to get rid of him, but if they're not using Gload now, are they going to use him to replace Paulie next season? I don't know, at least not everyday. Your team will not be good with Gload as your starter.

Not only that, but Marte is coming in now. What in the world is Ozzie doing? Even the biggest Ozzie supporters must be scratching their heads.

You're an idiot Ozzie. Simply f***ing stupid.

Wow, Politte is starting the 9th? Why's Ozzie changing things around?

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 02:12 AM) Ugh. I'm so nervous. we need that big first out. Here's my thinking in games like this: You have the lead going into the 9th inning. You can't ask for anything more. 3 outs, no matter how easy or difficult, without letting the other team tie you, and you win.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 02:11 AM) Yeah I threw out about 6 teams that would definitely have an interest in him. The Mets would be the most dangerous, and they would probably offer around 48/4. Mets are definitely the team I think would have a lot of interest. I wouldn't be surprised if the Dodgers trade Choi, and try to get PK back in their organization. Basically, what I'm saying is that I don't think it's very likely he's with the White Sox next season.

Good AB by Uribe. I swear, from the 6th inning on, he makes more weak outs on the first pitch than anyone else I can imagine.

Haha, you don't see many MLB hitters check their swing on a 3-0 pitch. At least Crede got on base. Hopefully, Uribe doesn't make an out on the first pitch here.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 02:08 AM) Let's just hope if he does stay with the Sox he gives us a hometown discount. 3/30 sounds pretty fair to me. There's going to be a ton of people going after him. 3/30 would be on the low end, I would think.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 02:07 AM) He's beed good since June 1. This isn't a recent occurance. But it's magnified when others around him are struggling.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 02:05 AM) Paul's already made a ton of money, with this first base market and the Mets and Yankees both needing 1st baseman(Giambi's a dh) he'll make some money. Yes, but he has the chance to go from 3/30 to about 4/50 with a good 2nd half. If Sexson can get a lot of money with his serious shoulder injury history, then PK should be in for a big time contract by someone in need of a 1b.

QUOTE(tony72 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 02:05 AM) I have been to the cell several times in the upper deck and I am surprised it hasn't happened there and hasn't happened in baseball more often.. The Sky Dome was the scariest I've ever been to.
