I am afraid of the collection of crap lineups that Ozzie will envoke with more poor players. Think about the number of times he can rest his starters for next year.

Maybe Ozzie is resting our guys for the autograph sessions at soxfest.

Take it for what its worth.

A move better be made. This team has died over the last month in a half. Our manager keeps trotting these disfunctional lineups. If we blow this lead KW should be fired.

Next Series we face Cy Douglas, Robertson and Bonderman in 1-2-3 of the series. :uhoh

We face Cy Douglas tomorrow, then Robertson and Bonderman and then TBA. We are going to rock the s*** out of them

So the good news is this the last time we face Texas, the bad news is we face a Detroit team that took 2 out of 3 the last time we faced them and is hitting well and has Maggs back. Yeah we will just sweep them.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 02:31 PM) Ha! What is the Sox head to head record vs. the Indians this year? Oh yeah, and how much do you want to put down? Check the run differential in the injun games with the sox. If you think by our record we beat them down. I suggest you look again. The only convincing wins happend in that last 4 game sweep. We havent hit besides 2 games yesterday in a month. The indians have a great bullpen and good pitching. But yeah I can see how we are just going to beat the crap out of them.

QUOTE(AirScott @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 02:40 PM) or you can look at it this way: this month, the Sox are hitting .244, 26th in the majors. in June they hit .271 and July hit .279. even in May the team average was .254. or you could say it's a complete coincidence that the team's worst month in terms of average happens to be the same month that their leadoff hitter misses 2 weeks and hits .211. Or that the 271 and 279 months were when this HOF type hitter was hitting 3rd and went on the DL late in July. Then that + pods = bad.

Well we dropped 3 out of 4. Our top 3 pitchers got destroyed. Our offense came alive for 2 games. Ozzie making sunday lineups on a Wednesday. Timo is leading off again. Carl not being good enough to pinch hit for Timo with men on. Vizcaino pitching like he did earlier. I see a lot to be positive about.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 02:46 PM) Yes, that'll do.

QUOTE(Misplaced_Sox @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 02:41 PM) WOW.... I mean..... Ozzie needs to yell, throw, maybe just out right release Timo (I know he wont) to send a message He just let Carl Everett sit on the bench, while Timo was up late with men on. Carl Everett or Timo So again you think that the sox should release Timo. Great Idea, Paul Konerko is more likely to get released than Timo though.

Thanks Vizcaino. Thanks for the batting practice Signed Texas BTW How much better is our staff than the Injuns again.

We have had a problem scoring runs for most of the year, it was not addressed. It may be our undoing.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 02:27 PM) It might be a good thing if it goes to the end. If (and that's a pretty big IF) we have clinched too soon, whose to say they would be relaxed and not ready for the playoffs. If they clinch (again a pretty big IF) than at least they'll have some momemtum. Our starters need rest. Check out the innings pitched on the big 3. How fresh do you think they will be if they have to go 7/8 innings in every single start in September.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 02:26 PM) BTW, any other info on the Todd Walker rumor? Seems like that's died down. KW doesnt want to mess with chemistry. He wants to be the answer to a trivial pursuit question, biggest lead blown away in last month and a half. The 2005 Chicago White Sox.

This is so sad we have blown such a big lead. We could of clinched in two weeks if we didnt pull this roll over and die crap. Now we will be playing till the end. Our starters will be dead by the time the playoffs come. And think if Ozzie thinks that Timo is a better option than Carl Everett with men on late in the game, who do you think he will use in the playoffs when a similiar situation comes to play.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 02:12 PM) there is no reason Carl shouldnt be pinch hitting right here This is why people dont understand Timo time. When you would rather bat Timo over Carl Freakin Everett it boggles the logic. 2 men on, Can Timo get the runs back with one swing, sure maybe. But who is more likely to hit the 3 run dong, Carl or Timo.

Why is Timo batting. We have plenty of good hitters on the bench today.

This resting of the starters in large amounts is getting to complete joke level. Manuel only did it once a week. Ozzie does it like 2 to 3 times a week. BTW this is what happened to the 2003 Royals, they went out to a start and died in the second half due to bungling managerial decisions.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 02:01 PM) This doesn't look like the same team that went into Minny last week and won 2 of 3 The Twins cant hit either, and neither can the Seattle mariners. Texas can hit. Oh and btw so can Detroit who we play tomorrow.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 02:00 PM) If only Pollite had started the inning... This is the same manager who started Garcia in the 9th of a game, after throwing over 100 pitches and having a 1 hour rain delay. Maybe just maybe these are some of the reasons that our starters have all hit a wall. He doesnt know when to pull someone, then goes lefty righty matchup and burns the pen in an inning. Who thinks we miss Nossek?

QUOTE(daa84 @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 01:58 PM) no sense of urgency is exactly right. WE CANT f***ING PLAY TIMO BLUM OZUNA AND HARRIS ALL IN THE SAME GAME Ozzie wants to rest his starters for the offseason.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 01:57 PM) 2 runs on cameron loe. sheesh ken griffey your table is ready Why would we trade for anyone, we have great
