3 pitches, 2 outs

Holy s***....be patient!!!! Everett really needs a day off, as he's been very unproductive for about 5 straight games now.

Excellent DP. Didn't think they had a chance to get him.

I think we'll actually score a decent amount of runs the rest of this game. Of course, I don't think Garcia is going to hold the Royals down either.

I'll be surprised if we have any Gold Glove winners. I guarantee you that Crede and AJP won't win one. Rowand might have the best chance, and that's cause of the NYY series and Hunter's injury.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 12:52 AM) Yeah, they sure were ripping the cover off the ball when we were packing em in :rolly He was being sarcastic, I'm sure.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 12:51 AM) All of them hit it hard. Right at fielders. There just isn't anything you can do about that. Are you talking about for the game? I just got back in the 2nd inning. If you're talking about that inning, Pods grounder was as routine as it gets. The other two were hit solid though.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 12:49 AM) Unreal. That coulda been 3 hits right there. Not much you can do about that. 3 hits?

Well....keep it going Freddy

Well, we're sure swinging early in the count against a pitcher who walked 2 batters in the first inning.

In the last 16 innings, our only offense is 2 solo homers by PK

It feels funny to me to criticize Ozzie for not giving his starters enough rest, but I really thought he'd mix in some guys like Anderson and Gload into the lineup once during this KC series to give Everett and others a rest. BTW, what's the weather expected to be at the Cell tonight? Any chance of a rain out?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 05:40 PM) I love this post more than anything. You some how managed to piss off and confuse numerous people with quite possibly the most sarcastic post you've ever produced. Congrats. Yep...it's funny just reading the reaction it's getting.

Free Brian Anderson!!

Brandon Inge K's with the bases loaded to end the top of the 7th. He's left 7 guys on base today.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 10:25 PM) Pods, LF Iguchi, 2B Everett, DH PK, 1B Rowand, CF Dye, RF Uribe, SS Widger, C Ozuna, 3B Garcia, P Ozzie's sure going with the starters day in, day out now. I'm surprised that Everett wasn't given a day off.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 10:01 PM) I hate cereal. Damn Tigers...we had to knock them into a slump right before they played Cleveland. We can't really b**** about the Tigers, because they were just awful when we played them also.

3-2 Indians. Good thing we've been on such a good run lately, or else this could have become real close.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 09:46 PM) 2-2. Indians just tied it up! No reason for the Indians to have a chance in this game. Tigers have left just a ton of runners on in scoring position, and the Indians have 2 runs on 2 hits.

Tigers have blown numerous chances to blow this game wide open.

Posada's story was on HBO Real Sports a few years ago, and it was just awesome. He's definitely a class-act.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 03:43 PM) + Quicker trips to the head, shower, nacho line, & beer tap! Lasts years attendance average was how many? & we still managed to create this team? That's fine....then just don't complain if PK signs elsewhere, and we have to trade someone like Garland or Contreras to clear payroll.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 03:35 PM) I have said this before and will say it again. I would much prefer having only 15,000 diehards in the stands than 40,000 corporate wannabefansforanightwhositontheirhandsandeatnachos. I never get back to chicago for a game, but when i listen to the games on mlb radio or tv it is louder with only 15,000. It allows the obnoxious diehards a chance to move down closer to the field and really band together. I love small crowds. And then you'd have a mediocre payroll.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 02:42 PM) I apologize for the blanket statement. I guess I should have qualified it. The sentiment stands. There should be more than 15,000 people at these games. I definitely agree with this. Like you, I have my reasons for not going to these games this week. I don't see why some people are getting so upset that you're calling them fair weather. First, we know that these people aren't fair weather fans, and you didn't call anyone out by name on it. Next, why would anyone really care what someone says about their team affiliation? Hell, I laugh any time that people on here suggest that I root for the Sox to lose. I could care less what the attendance was if it didn't impact our payroll. Like I said earlier, we just gave JR a perfect excuse if PK leaves.

Neither....Duque will still be in the game.
