2nd half records in the AL Central....This is the tale of the tape. TEAM W L PCT GB Minnesota 32 18 .640 -- Detroit 26 24 .520 6.0 Chicago 22 27 .449 9.5

Another retard calls up the score to profess the problem with the sox is lack of rowand. Because Rowand dove for a ball and Anderson doesnt have to. Moron. For any person that lacks the insight this is all that needs to be said. Anderson >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Rowand in the field. And Rowand hit .245 in August, and .235 in September. Any child with a slider owned Rowand late last year. How many balls bounced in front of Rowand against the Indians. Just because someone runs into a fence, doesnt make him a good fielder. One more rowand call, and I am going to vomit.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 07:58 AM) On the crappy lefty we are going to face tonight. We actually got video of him," hitting coach Greg Walker said. "I watched him the other day. There's a lot to be said for that." Well Grego you have video of Julian. How about this, stop with the lift and pull crap and start having your hitters use the entire field and maybe we can rock this joker. You are telling me that we cant scrounge up video of minor league pitchers when we face them. How about this Greg, have someone in the Whitesox organization purchase a milb.com gamecast account and then capture the video. A few bucks, and a freeware capture engine and you can analyze some more pitchers. Worthless, good for nothing....... Thank God Greg had that video. Worthless POS Hitting coach. The sooner we can get rid of him the better.

The good things from todays game. Was seeing Ryan Sweeney take that sweet swing to the major league level. After seeing that kid in ST in person for the last few years, its nice to see him make it. Hopefully he gets some playing time. Vazquez pitched a hell of a game. Sad....that our o didnt show up.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 08:50 PM) I think everybody knows that when you say quit, you mean they have given up. No need to try to spin it any other way. You've said as much at other times, no need to try and spin it. If you are gonna say it every other post, at least stand by it. I get a kick out of someone talking about spinning posts when.... Last year they stated that they wouldnt trade buerhle for santana, because at the time Buerhle's ERA was slightly better. Then this year did the same thing because Contreras was starting off great, and even had a siggy with it. The minute Contreras started getting rocked, the siggy disappeared. Revisionist history is kewl. You are just upset that you can spin or be oober positive about the dung on the field.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 08:48 PM) That really doesn't mean anything. And I said lately, not from 3 months ago and plus. Over the last 7 days. .240 BA

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 08:43 PM) This thread was about the team quitting. Why would you put something in the thread that wasn't about that discussion? Hmmm, I wonder.... You should put your resume together, and get that over to the FBI stat. They could use someone with crack deduction skills like that. Osama you better hide better, Jphat is coming for you.

Shockingly it seems that the Twins have figured out how to beat the juggernaut Devil Rays at home. I dont know how they figured that one out, but they did. My hats off to them for going into the hornets nest and coming out with a W.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 08:40 PM) I don't think anybody would dispute that there is something wrong with the offense right now. That doens't mean they quit. WHat kind of deduction is that? I never said they quit. Our offense is bad though. The Tampa Bay Devil Rays\Royals\Pirates would of put up at least a 4 spot on Julian last night, and this kid tonight would of been rocked.

If you quit on the team now, Allah wont let you enjoy the fruits of championship glory. There is nothing wrong with the offense. We have the best record in .... ah Chicago..

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 08:28 PM) Not only have the quit, they are trying their hardeest to piss off the fans on this board. Not for any particular reason either. Just for the hell of it. Dont you have a post game show on 670 to get ready for.

We need Jermaine Dye in the lineup. He at least can hit a line drive swing. Rob Deer at first is incapable of doing anything but being a 1 trick pony. When he gets his hits, they are pull shots. His outs are pull shots. Worthless.

Thome its only 290 feet to the pole. Just do what you do best, and swing like you are going to s*** the bed and hopefully run into one.

Gooch is behind a fastball down the cock, because he is thinking of tying the game. Then he rolls over on a breaking pitch. Credepopitup. This version of corpseball sucks.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 08:18 PM) Round of applause for Javy tonight. Great outing. Javy pitched well. The offense can go f*** themselves.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 08:16 PM) I hope Ryan Sweeney stays as far away as possible from Walker. Dont worry, Greg probably has video of that line drive swing and has some tweaks he can give to Ryan to get those doubles into the stands. You just give up a tad on average, but the power numbers speak for themselves.

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 08:15 PM) MVP chant is annoying. Its nice that they give Dye the respect he deserves. What a classy group of fans.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 08:13 PM) Back into a slump and looking bad at the plate. Sounds like he has been working some drills with Greg. Ozzie said Anderson needs to work on speed, or power and Greg doesnt want to lose another to the dark side. So he is working on the lift and pull technique that has made this team what it is today. Its time to unleash the power.

Okay Mack should never ever ever play CF again for us. Sweeney can catch a fly ball and is lefty, and Anderson can catch a ball and has a right hand.

I hate Fenway. Only a group of fools would imortalize a Neal Diamond song as part of their baseball tradition.

QUOTE(chisox72 @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 08:07 PM) Pods will wake up tomorrow, call Ozzie and tell him that he is done putting too much pressure on himself, Ozzie will agree and pencil him in. Ozzie will be damned if he is proven wrong about anything. We had a guy come out on the teams website, tell the world he doesnt feel comfortable playing CF and that Brian is a much better option. The manager then promptly talks about if he doesnt play Mack in CF its like giving up. Whatever that means. I guess not putting prancer in tomorrow as leadoff is like giving up.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 08:05 PM) Watch Ryan not start tomorrow, that's how Ozzie works. Ryan will play tomorrow. He will pinch run or be a defensive replacement.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 08:04 PM) Bring in Mackowiak...and swing for the fences. Thats what we are best at.

Uribe could of done that Alex.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 08:00 PM) I like the decision to have Gload hit for Anderson. Gload for Anderson is a smart move. Cintron for Profundo is a good move also. Keep sweeney in though.
