QUOTE(WinninUgly @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:36 PM) Yeah, he could use a day off. He's had plenty of days off. Hopefully he'll prove us wrong, but he looks like he might have hit the wall.

Ozuna should be used as the back-up at 2nd base, and not at 3rd base if we want to rest Iguchi.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:35 PM) Iguchi could use some rest And a confidence booster. Besides for the clutch homer, he's really been slumping. Just be thankful he came through in that big spot.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:33 PM) We will unfortunately have little FA money this year unless JR really bumps up payroll. So we will probably see Uribe and Crede Don't be surprised if we use guys like Contreras and Marte as chips to get a 1b and a 3b.

Even though Anderson hasn't had a hit in his last few ABs, he still looks a lot better at the plate than he initially did. For anyone that has seen him before, does he have any power to the opposite field? He seems like a dead-pull hitter.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:31 PM) No, for being a f***ing show off!! Wow, I wonder how other teams feel about Timo then?

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:29 PM) Did we seriously strand a man on 3rd with no outs? Oh ya, and rather quickly. Widger's having himself a phenomenally bad game, as is Iguchi.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:28 PM) If Bloomquist tries to steal 3rd, Freddy needs to stick 1 in his ear next ab!! Why, for showing more heart than anyone on the Sox besides Ozuna?

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:27 PM) Who wants to bet we lose this game 5-4? Leaving a man on third with no outs, should come back and bite us. It would only be fitting to how this team has performed offensively this past month. Considering we handed them two runs, and completely choked at scoring another run, a 5-4 game would really be disturbing. I don't think Garcia will shut down the Mariners though for the rest of the game.

Bloomquist has a better approach at the plate than any of our hitters now.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:24 PM) He probably will b/c Ozzie loves him. Jerry should spend some dough to get Furcal and Mueller. They would drastically improve us. Furcal's going to make a fortune with the Cubs. There's a better chance of PK running a 4.4 40 yd dash then there is of Furcal signing with the White Sox. If Furcal does sign with the Cubs, be careful driving at night around the city.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:21 PM) Next year no Uribe or Crede. They simply just suck. Uribe will be back. I think Crede is on his way out though.

I love Sunday lineups. It's a good thing Dye isn't batting 5th or 6th today.

Uribe sure seems to be holding the bat close to his chest.

Widger's having a very poor game.

Nice triple by the most underrated player in quite a long time for the Sox! Just kidding, but it was nice to see him go the opposite way with authority.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:14 PM) Rangers aren't hitting well right now, we should at least split, if not take 3 of 4............ A sweep would be AWESOME!!!! Last time I heard someone predict a Sox sleep, we lost 2 of 3 at KC. I'll be thrilled with a 3 out of 4 in Texas, and content if we split the series.

Has Rowand thrown out any runners at home this season? I can't remember any.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:09 PM) They shouldn't be celebrating s*** until they wrap this division up! So, what's our projected clinch date? Honestly, I'm thrilled with how this week went. I'm nervous about the Rangers series, as I don't think we can outslug them. Their hitter seem to match up very well with our pitchers.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:09 PM) Anyone ever see the movie Hostage? Does that have to deal with Cotts and his life in the last week?

What's the chances that some of the games in Texas are rained out because of the impending hurricane?

QUOTE(qwerty @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:07 PM) He is one of the top fielders in baseball. Realistically i would only take hunter over him and maybe sizemore. Offesively though he has been very disappointing... but these are the numbers i was thinking about at the start of the year. When you combine throwing arm/accuracy into the equation, that's where I think someone like Rowand is overrated. Basically, if we had a power offense, then he would fit in well. However, when you already have a SS and 3B who could be defined as defensive specialists, then you have the makings of a bad offense.

Iguchi looks like he's in slow-motion out there. If this game gets out of hand, Ozzie needs to get Everett out of RF before he hurts himself or someone else.

QUOTE(WinninUgly @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:03 PM) Bring in Adkins! How could Garcia get the win then?

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:02 PM) If Garcia gives up anymore runs, it's Adkins time He'll be in for 6 innings no matter what. Where have you been all season?
