Nice stop there AJ.

QUOTE(Friend of Nordhagen @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 11:45 PM) Wasn't the one decent game he had in Boston when he batted 8th? A lineup never to be seen again. Why is Thornton still in the game? The same reason that Hermy was option A out of the pen tonight with Cotts backing him up.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 11:41 PM) This offense sucks Dont talk about the 12th best offense in the majors in the 2nd half that way. I mean we have the 14 million dollar Flordia Marlins beat by a few runs. over 500 runs in the first half, on pace for a little over 300 for the 2nd half.

Here comes the heart of the lineup.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 11:38 PM) Most teams swing for the fences in extra innings. Some analyst had a theory that a team with little team power would be a better extra inning team, because they wouldn't swing for the fences. If you can reach them, its a natural reaction. We must think that extra innings starts in inning number 2 then.

QUOTE(Maverick0984 @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 11:35 PM) Juan WILL swing for the fences Thats all he does on every single AB. Just please for the love of god make contact Juan, and try and center it up.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 11:33 PM) How'd Buerhle look? Not bad. His biggest mistake I thought was walking Vlad in the first inning with no one on. The next guy hit a good pitchers pitch and jacked it. Should of been a solo dong. Outside of that he was good. Our offense woke up and had a great approach for an inning. Then Pods decided to be a hero and was thrown out by 4 feet with Dye up and less than 2 outs.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 11:31 PM) Thornton makes pitching look too easy. Joe Borchard has a special place in my memory for getting us this.

If we survive this inning Its uribe vs K rod to start off the next inning.

QUOTE(DABearSoX @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 11:29 PM) Rob i expected he cant handle pressure thats his problem.....Crede on the other hand, that was where the clutch moment had to be..just a pop up for gods sake low and away to a right handed whitesox hitter. Its like kryptonite. Crede had some nice approaches against that tonight. But not that time.

How f***ing pathetic can our O be. 1st and 3rd with 1 out, and we cant make solid contact. Game.

Hopefully our next hitting coach can teach our team line drive swings and how to protect with 2 strikes.

Low and Away pwns another whitesox hitter.

Nice stroke by AJ.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 11:17 PM) Jerry Owens time We take a power hitting threat out of a tie game? Well at least Gload gets to play.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 11:15 PM) I don't know about you guys, but one of the things that pisses me off the most about Ozzie is how he thinks lefties can automatically get lefties out, even though both are lefties are probably more effect vs. righties. Damaso Marte in 2005 says hi.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 11:10 PM) That you Herm? Its how he has managed all year long. Its Cotts and Riske in tie games or when we are dog down. Only if you need a strikeout and its 2 outs does he bring in a strikeout pitcher like Thornton. McDougal would be in if we were up in that frame.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 11:10 PM) Why are Podsednik and Mackowiak still in the OF? Why isn't Anderson and Sweeney in? Makes too much sense, I guess. Because that would confuse our manager. Pods is on the WS DVD and they are not. So Ozzie goes with his bhoys.

QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 11:08 PM) I mean jesus, if he's not hurt, then f***. Hes not hurt. Ozzie is going with plan B if we are tied or down, and plan A when we are up. That how he is managing this pen right now.

You have 17 games left in your season, you are down 1.5 to one and 3 to another, and they both won. You then say well its a tie game, lets put in the guy who spent the last 6 months on the DL because his back hurt so freaking much, he couldnt throw back to back days. Makes sense.

QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 11:05 PM) McDougal has gotta be hurt. Nope, someone is going with his gut. You put way too much logic behind your reasoning.

Now riske is up, with Thornton.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 11:03 PM) Why wasn't Anderson in to play LF and CF? He would have had that ball from both positions. Simultaneously. When you get out of high school you will realize that this attempt at humor is not funny.

Just when you thought you saw enough of Pods being a turd. He outdoes himself.

Ozzie freaking is in a timewarp. he litterally thinks its 2005 again. I bet he goes to Cotts next. Thank god we got rid of marty party.
