Well Mr. Granderson thank you and merry christmas for pulling an Uribe and swinging at the neck high away meatball.

QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 07:47 PM) If Freddy gives up anything in this inning, please yank him. Our manager wouldnt pull Vazquez if he gave up a run in this inning, do you think he is pulling a relative.

The worst player on the cubs just got a hit and stole a base on Freddy Maddux. Strained Left Hammy according to DJ.

Ball takes a high hop and speedy von Dergan cant beat it out to 1st. Does he have lead in his shoes.

Mack gets a hit, I guess that makes up for his defensive foobar. Well in Ozzies eyes only.

I wonder if we are in mack for the righties, anderson for the lefties platoon. Its sad that our backup guys are going to get 300abs this year

We we are hitting home runs, so we score tonight. How long before Freddy gives this back up.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 06:34 PM) Most of our starters have looked tired or injured at some point during this season. I thought the point of having 6 starters was in case this was the case. I guess I was wrong, but I will tell you one thing, Buerhle and Garcia aren't going to get better. They are either injured or exhausted. OUr manager thinks bmac was terrible last year. He isnt a better option than what we have. So we will go down because our starting pitchers need MRIs, a Psychologist, and some balls.

Thank god Freddy is a big game pitcher. The minute he leaves this team, the better.

So basically our management is full of s*** with this BA is a starter, we dont have a starting CF, we have a platoon.

Why in the name of god are we playing a corner OF in center every other game. This is so dumb its not even funny.

2 Ham and Cheese Sandwiches on Wheat Bread, and an Apple. I wish I had a double wonderburger basket with curly fries.

Good luck Los!!!

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 09:31 AM) I'd love to have a tally of how many "sox fans" said that at this time last year. I'm in!!! They are capable, they have the talent, they need to put it together. Rowand44 is probably one of the most optomistic posters on this site. So he probably wouldnt of made your tally last year. I think we will win the wild card. Once in we have as good of a chance as anyone. Its just up to our pitching to perform.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 07:36 AM) I've heard Portsmouth have pulled out of the race to sign Petrov. I imagine Martin O'Neill and Aston Villa if the Randy Lerner takeover goes ahead, would try and get that $7M pound deal done before the transfer window closes though. Steed Malbranque looks like he's moving from Fulham to West Ham on a 1.5M - 2M deal as well. Steed is a good player. I watched a lot of fulham games with Bocanegra going there a few years ago. He will definately help the attack.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 07:28 AM) So I just want to get a grasp on this here. So far this season Pablo Ozuna has 137 AB's in 61 games. Ryan Sweeney for Charlotte has 421 AB's. That's almost a 3 to 1 ratio of AB's right there. So my point on this whole issue is this. If you're going to use Ryan Sweeney next season, he should play everyday. If he's going to be in a platoon situation, why not just keep Ozuna, who has hit well this season, let Ryan get much more AB's in Charlotte to continue his development, which will help him immensely. I think it's more likely Josh Fields would get used everyday over Sweeney at this stage for next season though. I figure that Fields will be a counter balance until Crede signs a long term deal. The minute we lock up Crede, Fields get dished for pitching. Sweeney makes a better move for LF for next year. He can platoon like Pods did this year. He has a nice swing, and we have enough power on this team already.

To the Offense: Hit the f***ing ball, score some runs, dont do dumb things on the basepaths, when a pitcher is wild and is walking people dont swing at the first pitch. If a pitcher is constantly throwing you low and away, please hit that ball the other way. Pulling it results in a 3 to 4 hit shut out, and a quick and lifeless game. To the Pitching: For the love of god, if you have a fastball please throw it, stop with the lob league crap. Keep the ball down, and try to pitch ahead. To the defense: If its hit to you, catch it. If you cant throw the guy out at third or home, please hit the cutoff man so we can keep the man on first. So one run doesnt turn into 4. To Joey Cora: Please take note of who is running and who is getting the ball out in the field and where they are getting the ball before doing your wendell kim impersonation. To Ozzie: You can in fact pull the pitcher and rely on your bullpen. And Cotts is not the Cotts of 2005, so he should not be option A out of the pen. Just win!!!!!!

Celtic transfer rumor. Celtic in talks for Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink of PSV. He would help balance the attack up front, and help in Europe. the fee between the teams is agreed on, however Jan wants more money. Vennegoor of Hesselink to Celtic

Well the bunny is doing his best hawk impersonation tonight Its the umpires fault.

Welcome to Corpseball 2006. Remember to pull the baseball son.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 22, 2006 -> 08:39 PM) Chris Rongey and Pat Boyle if they are members. Then Ozzie. Damn Fathom, beat me to it!! I am curious how PFB will spin this

Thank God McCarthy isnt using this talent anywhere near the rotation. Obviously our starting crew is light years above this kid. Maybe some day he can learn to throw 86 mph fastballs like 2/5s of our starters. /sarcasm

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 22, 2006 -> 08:25 PM) I said this earlier, but this was as awful an approach by our entire team as I've ever seen. Its the same thing as always past the allstar break. Dip you back shoulder, get around of the ball, pull and lift. When we do this, any crappy pitcher will 3 to 5 hit us over 7 or 8, we will struggle to score a run.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 22, 2006 -> 08:24 PM) Hey!!! Cy McCarthy isn't dead after all, at least Ozzie is using him regularly and in big spots. So much for streching him out, so we can give one of the multimillion dollar dead arm crew a break.

I am waiting for the opposition to put 3 guys on the left side, then Konerko hits 216 for a season. f***, now we use Bmac.
