QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 03:02 AM) With all due respect some of you sometimes think you know soo much and won't accept anybody else's take. OK so Fred is 14-9 instead of 14-6. The guy just flirted with a f***ing perfect game. But you think he's finished, he's toast. Think about what he did LAST YEAR. Sometimes I think you guys think the Sox will someday get 5 superior starters. Name one f***ing team in baseball with 5 superior starters??? Freddie Garcia is NOT a stiff. Sox fans are starting to remind me of fans of some college teams that act like their team is the ONLY one out there. My god. Freddie Garcia will have a job on any staff in baseball, why not ours??? Because he's a bad pitcher? Player A: 25 GS | 4.84 ERA | 1.31 WHIP | .262 BAA | 27 HR Player B: 30 GS | 4.82 ERA | 1.33 WHIP | .275 BAA | 31 HR Player C: 27 GS | 4.66 ERA | 1.39 WHIP | .283 BAA | 28 HR Player D: 30 GS | 5.09 ERA | 1.31 WHIP | .246 BAA | 33 HR 4 pretty damn similar pitchers one of which is Freddy Garcia the other 3? Let's just say they're pitchers that you wouldn't necessarilly call good. This is the same Garcia who has mysteriously lost around 6-8 MPH on his fastball over 1 offseason, has shown up teammates, said he only pitches well in "big games", has sucked in "big games" and has posted monthly splits that are consistently bad, showing no signs of improvement. April: 5.86 ERA | 1.59 WHIP | .259 BAA May: 3.70 ERA | 1.11 WHIP | .280 BAA June: 4.81 ERA | 1.43 WHIP | .279 BAA July: 5.52 ERA | 1.48 WHIP | .295 BAA Aug: 5.72 ERA | 1.40 WHIP | .299 BAA If Scott Podsednik were a pitcher he'd be Freddy Garcia, except I've never seen Podsednik show up a teammate.

QUOTE(RX Bandits @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 01:15 AM) agreed. the team needs to start hitting. Perhaps if the Sox didn't have 2 automatic outs in the lineup most everyday *cough*dergenuribe*cough* this team could produce a little better at the plate.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 01:09 AM) BTW, I didn't see the Mackowiak screw-up. Was it the usual, bad read type play? It was a blooper out into shallow right center field, he got a bad jump followed by a lame ass diving attempt which was highlighted by his knees hitting the ground only a split second after his feet left the ground, ball his off his glove and rolled away. It didn't help that Dye attempted to throw a runner out at the plate flat footed on a sac fly shortly afterward. It was just a pathetic defensive showing by the team as a whole.

Dear God I am in a terrible mood right now, f***ing Sox always do this to me. QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 12:10 AM) At least Pierre will make contact, won't take a called 3rd strike, will hustle on defense, and can bunt. I don't want him to sign with the Sox....but I'll take anything over Pods. I just really don't want the Sox to settle for mediocrity this offseason and I do believe Pierre is just that. Can't we just for once have a decent fielding, non-pussarmed, high OBP leftfielder/leadoffman? I don't think it's that much to ask. Or is it?

QUOTE(scotty22hotty @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 12:00 AM) another great game by Pods It will be a beautiful day in the city of Chicago when that useless scrub is finally dismissed. It should be fun watching Pods Blak™ blow ass in the leadoff spot in '07 and beyond.

Am I the only one that noticed Konerko's bat was still on his shoulder when that final pitch crossed over the heart of the plate?

I'm still shocked he took that last pitch. That right there is incredibly representative of the way this team has been playing. QUOTE(tealeafreaderii @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 11:55 PM) I'm convinced Y'all willed that K. Thanks. No, thank you Kotex boy.

What a horrendous way to end a ballgame. WOW

How unclutch of Thome.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 11:47 PM) You know your going to miss that face...... Actually I'm going to miss that ass more than anything.

This is going to be quick.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 11:43 PM) If Street comes in, I'd rather see Gload face him than Iguchi. Sadly the one guy I'd love to see face Street was pinch hit for last inning.

Well, boone made that look easy.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 11:39 PM) sign Pierre in left i know thats now a popular idea, but i think the guy could have some good years here Funny because he's been pretty horrible in the National League. Should be fun watching another puss armed s*** fielder out there in LF again next season. And Brandon looked damn good tonight. Good for him.

Well, this b**** is just about over.

Brandon looks G-O-O-D. Everything is being hit softly on the ground, I love it.

QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 11:31 PM) there are a lot more potential 5th starters out there than speedy outfielders. What does your rotation look like?

Wow, just wow. DID NOT SEE THAT COMMING.

QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 11:29 PM) so do you want dave roberts in lf then? young SPing is no rarer than a 20 homer 60 steal 300 hitting leadoff man. Then what the hell would the rotation look like next year? If you trade McCarthy suddenly '07's rotation begins to look a lot like the Cubs'. Minus a dominant starter like Zambrano.

Fantastic, here comes Douchenmeyer to mow down the rest of this pathetic lineup.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 11:26 PM) Nice to know I wasn't the only one who noticed that. He seemed deeply depressed when he started this inning. Perhaps he knows that Anderson blows ass against lefties.

This is a shocking turn of events. Anderson and Kennedy?

Is there even a remote chance the Sox can get to Douchenmeyer?

Brandon is pitching well this inning, it's a damn shame that it's not working out . If he can be even remotely effective the rest of the way . . .
