Kubel should be eating dirt tomorrow or our team needs a nut check.

Offense, thinks its cold again. Must be flashbacks to April and May. September numbers OPS .706 good for 12th in the AL Runs 79 good for 12th in the AL BA .243 good for 13th in the AL OBP .299 good for last in the AL, 29th in the majors 4th in homers, with 24.

Well Ozzie better play his best f***ing defense with Buerhle.

No excuses, he isn't pitching well, he needs to be hit hard Our offense needs to concentrate. The two AAA pitchers that kept us in check on Saturday and Sunday shouldnt of been in each game past the 3rd inning either. Yet here we are. Our bad offense can make anyone look like Cy Young.

Maybe they can pass these out tomorrow before the game, before the big bad dome and those evil little baseball players scare them again.

QUOTE (soxfan3530 @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 08:44 PM) nice griff. hopefully that has some momentum for tomorrow. Each game is a seperate entity. There is no "momentum". This team could be on a 15 game winning streak playing the best baseball in the world. Play that team in the dome against Johan and we are shutout trying to figure out what the f*** ran us over. We hit lots of 9th inning junk homers. We are always swinging for the fences. And they are just pumping strikes in, trying to get outs.

Well that f***ing sucks. His old ass will be out there tomorrow night now, missing balls.

I cannot wait for the post game interviews. Paul Konerko saying, well they are a good team, and man, we are playing in the dome. I just tip my cap to Baker. His ball was moving, and he was changing speeds, you know the s*** all pitchers do." Then Ozzie "Man, these piranhas bite, they nibble they look for blood. I hope we are ready for the indians and the tigers at home. No Brian Anderson wouldnt of gotten to that ball, Griffey is a HOFer and didnt" Buerhle "Well I dont like our chances, we are at the DOME. Strike haunted music."

Who will be tonights meaningless solo home run. You have to drink a shot the minute Hawk states his stupid comment " Well give them a finish "INSERT PLAYER NAME HERE""

Great shot of Guillen with his arms folded, looking like he is pouting. No one near him. He better take a bat or a chair to the card game after this. And rip these motherf***ers a new one.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 08:18 PM) The disconcerning thing to me is forget the blowout loss. The entire team seems to really believe they cannot win in that building. They have been convinced every which way. I wish the organization as a whole would quit kissing Twinkie ass. Ozzie should come out and say the White Sox are far better than them. Maybe even say they suck. I bet if you switched rosters right now with Minnesota, the Twins would kill the White Sox just as much as they do now. Dick you remember Kenny and Ozzie during the hiring press conference. That they are sick and tired of the twins beating us with fundamental tough baseball and that we would adopt that style of baseball. We would be hard nosed, and bring the game to them. Like the twins. Then Ozzie used Frank as an example. How he would not let his players get over on him and how if they didnt run out a play he would bench them. Here we are, and its the same damn thing. Hulking players who hit homers, and cannot make contact. Bad fundamentals and defense. And mistake pitching. Its the same thing we have seen for years, sans 2005. Its one thing to admire a way a team plays. Its another to fear a team. We fear the twins. We wait for the bad things to happen. And when they do, we crumple.

I wonder how many of our players pooped their pants today. Boone Logan. LMAO@You

QUOTE (ROC Sox Fan @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 09:01 PM) BASE HITS BASE HITS BASE HITS BASE HITS BRAIN DOES NOT COMPUTE. BASE HIT DOES NOT EQUAL SOLO HOMER. HOW ARE TWINS WINNINGS?~! We have hit over 100 more homers than the Twins, yet they have scored more runs than we have. They get men on, they drive them in.

Monster cut for Thome trying to hit the 8 run homer. Warning track power now for Konerko. Corpseball is back.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 08:55 PM) It's sickening to hear some of you say a sweep is inevitable. And you know I'm never one to say something like this. What we're saying here is exactly what the players are thinking. This "OMG, history is repeating itself!" s***. If they don't win one of the next two games, there are but a handful of players I'd want on this team next season. If they can't get over playing in this dome, why will it be any different next year? How about we develop a few players or maybe bring in some that don't piss at the thought of THE DOME. The pitcher going tomorrow has a case of the Dome boogeymen as well. And to think he questioned Floyd's mental toughness.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 08:54 PM) I just got back from a meeting and am checking in only to see the Sox have checked out. Pathetic display by a team wanting, or so it says, to win the division. But, as Yobi Berra once said "It ain't over till it's over." Maybe a miracle will happen We dont want to win the division. We want the season to be over, and hope the other team loses more than we do.

QUOTE (BlackBetsy @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 08:50 PM) Zen like philosophy - This game has already been won by the Twins. The Sox have nothing to do but reclaim. All upside. Twins were down 8-1 vs. Cleveland last week and came back. The twins didnt swing from their heels on every pitch trying to homer their way back into the game. The twins learned to play baseball, we learned to play home run derby.

Did the trailer just advance to 2nd on the throw towards 3rd. Is this pony league s***.

Well Guillen is 0 for 3 here with his calls. Moving Vazquez in an important series. Check Playing a guy who a 90 loss dog didnt even trot out to CF in CF. Check Batting a cold guy in the 2 hole, when you have a guy who has been hot in the 2 hole.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 08:40 PM) As jphat says, everyone has gone into a slump at the same time (out of our usual starters). I have never seen a team go into slumps for months at a time. They went into a slump for April and May. Now September, and its another month long dumper.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 08:39 PM) What we're watching isn't Baker dominating. It's the offense choking. Baker has looked TERRIBLE. He can't find the zone worth a s***, continually pitches his changeup up and hangs his breaking ball, yet we can't do anything. Wait till your hear the players tip their caps, like they did with crappy Royals pitching. Well there is nothing anyone could do with that deceptive 88mph straight fastball.

Twins get a man on first and second. The entire game slows down, they foul off pitch after pitch, put the ball in play. We get man on first and second. Our game speeds up. Its almost like our team feels that we have to be defensive.

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 07:32 PM) for those of you watching, what's Ozzie doing in the dugout? Is he going nuts, or silent? Eating sunflower seeds, trying on his Jerry Manuel costume for halloween.

There is no reason that Griffey is playing in this series. I blame the rift in the space-time-continuum that tricked our GM into thinkin that old Griffey is the same as young griffey, and our manager in thinking that Griffey can play CF.

On the scores website, they have Orlando Cabrera on the Boers and Bernstein show today. He basically told a not so good story of how our team sits back, when we get down early its all over, and how they brush off losses with no killer instinct. Listen to that for a minute, and then realize we need to make sure that some players need to leave as well.
