QUOTE(illinilaw08 @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 12:19 PM) The lineup I like against righties now would have Gload at 1B and PK DHing. Gload is another lefthanded bat in the lineup, plays the field well, and can give PK a day or two off in the field. Thoughts? I like that a lot. However Ozzie wont go for that. He will play Everett until he compltely breaks in half.

With the lefty in the lineup today, it would be better to give Anderson a shot at DH today. Or even better, make Pods or Dye the DH, and put Anderson in the field. His glove has been stellar so far.

Happy Birthday Man Have a good one and drink up.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 09:09 AM) You can't just blame the Church for the secrecy. If the victims come forward, the Church can't hide it. Problem is, these are situations where both the accused and the accuser do not want publicity. I have a hard time finding fault with someone who does not want the public attention of coming forward and reporting having been abused. Its a sexual assault. The victim should not have to make themselves public. All they need to do is to make outcry to the authorities. Sexual assault is one of the most unreported crimes. Especially sexual assault on children. The church should be proactive. I dont see where in the mission of the church does it say anything about protecting the predators. Children are the most precious resource and the church of all places should be a haven for the protection of the innocent. My church spends a lot of time out at abortion clinics protesting the murder of the innocent. What about the protection of the innocent post birth.

As a Catholic any priest that molests a child should be ex-communicated from the church. Kick them out, hand over all the evidence to the authorities and put them in general population in the jail. Becoming a priest is a sacrament, its a promise to God to teach the word of the lord. There is only one way to deal with this type of evil, root it out, and eradicate it. No more of this pussy footing around it.

Oddly Brandon Inge can be pitched too. Before Garland gave up two dongs to this guy, he was hitting a grand .165 in 91Abs this month. Lets see Bmac step up and shut down another offense.

Just f***ing hit the god damn ball. Its another piece of s*** pitcher, try not to make him look like f***ing Cy Young. Hit him for about 6 runs like other first place teams at this point in the season would. Man the f*** up already.

QUOTE(JimH @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 08:39 PM) Amusing. Some of you guys b**** at Guillen for lefty-righty pitching matchups and then crucify him when he doesn't pinch hit for Pierzynski with Spurling out there. Pierzynski is a contact hitter, doesn't K much, supposed to be clutch. Seems to me it was Pierzynski's fault, freaking awful at bat from my view. AJ bats .226 against lefties.

I am confused. Playing pretty good is not leaving a bunch of guys in scoring position with less than 2 outs.

Well it was to be expected, we scored 3 runs, and last week the Royals scored 2 against them. Considering that the Royals hit better than our team thats pretty good that we were able to scrap together 3 runs against a great pitcher like Jason Johson. Hopefully we put our hitting shoes on tomorrow so we can get a jump on Cy Robertson. HOW CAN THIS TEAM NOT HIT A 4.63 ERA PITCHER. Nothing like having men on 2nd and 3rd a few times in a game and not scoring any of them.

Can someone explain to me why when we get men in scoring position and less than two outs, our hitters are more likely to K than get a base hit. I mean the whole idea is to put the ball in play, and all year long they K instead of make contact.

QUOTE(Sox Hustler @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 07:57 PM) If they wanna play like s*** before they head into cleveland and thinking they can just beat up on them to win the division their nuts, they need to play everygame like their playing cleveland. I swear ozzie doesn't have a f***ing clue, even though Everett got on base tonight he should still be benched, looks like a damn lumberjack out there. Oh yeah and maybe he might want to start pinch hitting some guys because AJ today killed us. It's gonna be nice seeing Cleveland oust us because of our DUMBASS manager. :headshake AJ cannot hit a LOOGY. I have watched just about every game, when a LOOGY comes in AJ Ks. That is pretty much that story. With that in mind and having 3 catchers on the roster, we can pinch hit for AJ.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 07:55 PM) D.J. even mentioned that Cliff isn't throwing as many fastballs as he was before. He's been relying more on sliders and changeups. Cliffy is not shaking off AJ, AJ is putting down the slider call. So blame the gameplan on that. 93mph should be enough if you hit your spots.

Why didnt Ozzie pinch hit for AJ with the bases loaded, when AJ who cant hit a LOOGY had a LOOGY pitch against him. Corpseball again. Nice way to play momentum. We have a 17 game winner on the mound, and they have a pile of s*** and we lose this. Carl Everett what can I say, can we drop him out of the lineup.

Walkoff f***

Notice the pedal on the right. Keep foot firmly on that until magic number = zero.

This is all about our offense. Hit the ball, score some runs and let Garland do his thing. HIT THE f***ING BALL AND WE WILL WIN

I have been impressed with the offense over the last few days. Hopefully they will keep hot going into the post season. The pitching wont be a problem in the playoffs. It will be the ability for our offense to score runs. If they hit like they did over the weekend the possiblities are endless. Kazmir goes against the Injuns I think on Wednesday. That will make it tough. He is a hard throwing lefty and should give them fits.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Sep 24, 2005 -> 09:05 PM) God Bless the Rally Crede. Good Lord, this is Nitetrains wet dream. A rally Crede. LOL Nice game Whitesox. Keep f***ing hitting and you will win this thing.

EAT s*** MINNY THE COUNT FOLLOWS THE KID AND MANS THE f*** UP. THE OFFENSE STILL NEEDS TO BATTLE AND KEEP WORKING THIS THING. LETS GO f***EROOS AND LETS GET A WINNING STREAK GOING.

Its real f***ing simple. Our offense was horses*** when we started in April and its horses*** now. The difference was that when we would lose a 2-1 game in May it was thats okay, we have the best record in baseball. Now of course that the lead is down, when the same horses*** offense struggles the same way it has struggled all year long people get all bent out of shape. Its not a new thing, this offense has blown all year long. If the stars align, the moon is in flux, and our hitters realize that they just need a single with men in scoring position we can score a few runs. We face Cy Lohse tonight. Hopefully a few of our hitters realize that Lohse is crap and put a few good ABs against them instead of trying to figure out how far their moon shot will land. All this team had to do in September is beat the teams they should of, and played decent against the good teams and its a walk in to the division.

JUST HIT THE f***ING BALL AND LET THE REST FIGURE ITSELF OUT.

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 01:43 PM) LINEUP... Pods, LF ... Iguchi, 2B ... AJ, C ... PK, 1B ... Dye, RF ... Everett, DH ... Rowand, CF ... Crede, 3B ... Uribe, SS ... Contreras, RHP. Numbers vs Lohse Pods .389 Gooch .500 AJ .286 Kong .125 Dye .143 Everett .500 Arow .286 Crede .152 Uribe .091 How can so many hitters have such a hard time with such a piece of s*** hitter.

QUOTE(Allsox @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 01:06 PM) Agreed! No more Carl Everett in the 3 hole....In fact, no more Carl Everett in the starting lineup....Sit him on the bench and make him your first pinch hitter....Maybe that can motivate him to hit the ball instead of telling us stats lie and dinos didn't exist :banghead Actually he is right, stats dont lie and acording to some stats collected over the last month, Everett is very very very very bad at hitting right now.

Anderson or Borchard or Gload should be in instead of Everett. Either DH Dye and put Borchard/Anderson in RF so Dead doesnt kick the ball around out there. or Put Gload at first and have Konerko DH. Something needs to be done.
