QUOTE(3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 07:26 PM) God, I hate a Francona managed game, he's all about situational matchups, even if it means 5 pitching changes in 2 innings. Let Crede swing the bat or PH? Or you could have the Ozzie way where he lets his starter give up 6 because he wants to get him the win.

Thank god their bullpen sucks Then again their crappy bullpen has to face our crappy hitters. So its kindoff a wash.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 07:21 PM) If Crede learned how to catch a pop up it would be 5-5 right now. Crede again f***s up in a boston series. Great.

Meyers in to face AJ. Remlinger is 6th inning guy. Meyers is their lefty specialist.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 07:18 PM) I would imagine that Remlinger will be in there only to pitch to AJ. THen Bradford. Bradford was already in.

QUOTE(3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 07:17 PM) You're silly if you think this is over, especially with Remlinger warming last inning Remlinger would of came in last inning. Timlin comes in this inning. Then Schilling.

Mark is at 109 pitches he has given up 6 ER and he is still out there. GOOD JOB Ozzie.

At this point if Ozzie was trying to win this game he would actually be using the bullpen. But s*** let see how many ER Marky Mark can give up.

Our manager is trying to get a player something instead of the team. So much for grinder baseball.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 04:40 PM) Couple of notes from Chicago Tribune Live: 1)Griffey is as of now on waivers according to Bruce Levine. 2)Griffey has no problem with Chicago. 3)Griffey and his family actually visit Chicago a couple of times of years. Please clear waivers and please please come to the whitesox. We get Griffey and we get a WS. He will do what Thomas does when he is healthy. He will instantly not only give us a bat in the lineup, but someone who gets hitters around them better pitches to hit.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 04:34 PM) Jim reminded me this morning that at Sox fest I told Kenny in the Q&A that this team "had me excited" and that I felt this was "our year". I honestly don't remember what I said, other then getting busted for -> I was at soxfest during the Q&A segment. You sounded like you were going to rush the stage and hug him. This after nearly rushing the stage the lynch him the year before.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 01:29 PM) Who's Atkins? Thank you spelling police.

Great Atkins is warming. Are you nuts. Go with your best until you need to go with Atkins.

Warning track out. PHEWW

Our team BA for the month of August is now .230. I cant wait until we stop facing everyones number 1 pitcher.

Leadoff walk erased by bulls***. Gooch should of pinch hit there.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 01:05 PM) If Chacon and Small are really as good as their numbers would indicate, the Yankees will make the playoffs. Smalls line so far 4 hits, 1 run 7Ks This is a line I would expect from Mark Prior, Randy Johnson, Johan Santana, etc. Not Aaron Small.

Posada is a pinch hitter.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:50 PM) I got a question, overall these yankee starters have better era's then the Sox 3 guys, so does that mean the Yankees offense sucks or is our pitching good, I'm confused, these things don't add up. When it comes to our offense we seem to run into everyones ace night in and night out. When the sox leave I have a funny feeling that the Yankee bats will come alive again. We lead the league in pitching, do the mariners, do the yanks, do the Jays, etc etc

The TOP 5 webgems tonight are just the AARON ROWAND SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:44 PM) Yep, Mussina's 4.01 ERA is truly pitiful, so is Chacon's 3.53 (that inclues 7 games at Coors), and Smal'ls 2.77 Look, I'm not defending the offense but don't bash it for dumb s*** Are these pitchers that should K large numbers of our team. Are these pitchers that should absolutely shut you down for large amounts of the game. NO. We should be able to score a few runs off of them. I am not saying that we need to rock them. But when we are looking at less than 3 or 4 hits by say the 5th inning its a worry point.

The sad thing is if our offense was even par with the middle of the league we would go on a bunch of 10+ game win streaks with this pitching staff.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:41 PM) what slide is everyone talking about?? Have I been asleep that long?? Cause i dont remember a losing skid??? Jesus people, havent we learned anything. This is why we are so good this year. Offense is streaky, offense slumps, pitching and defense usually do not. This is why we are still in this game and every game against the yanks. God!!! Our pitching has been steller. But its August now and this offense needs to get a bit more consistant before the postseason. Or it will be 2000 redux. We didnt pitch that bad in 2000, it was a million popups and no clutch hits.

9 in a row by Cy Small. We were lucky to get a solo homer off of Cy Chacon last night. And barely scratched anything across Cy Mussina on monday. Oddly the Yanks have been a mash unit with their pitching staff. They have been outslugging teams. Our hitters however have allowed them to K above 5 per game and have barely ecked out some hits. The offense is fine though.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:30 PM) We've sure done that a few times this year now haven't we? I forget our offense is fine. You are the one who was talking about how great this pitcher is and that pitcher is when they shut out the sox only to watch them get destroyed by their next opponent. I am sure Aaron Small is Randy Johnson version II, but I think our offense should be able to hit him.
