QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 10:07 AM) That there were words between Oz and Dye because of JD's actions Sunday during the Garland incident. hmmm....all I saw was not only Dye, but Thome also walking in Ozzie and Jon's direction in the dugout. It looked like they were ready to step in if it got ugly. Of course, we have no idea what might have been said by Dye. By the way, I have a whole new level of respect for JG based on how he handled that incident. It takes a big man to stand there and take it the way he did.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 08:42 AM) Don't forget that the Sox are 9th in the AL in bullpen ERA either, so replacing a SP earlier with a reliever ain't necessarily the best strategy when your relievers aren't having the best years. And hence why KW has brought in MacDougall and Riske this season so far. Don't know what is up with Cottsy lately, given up a couple of jacks, but before he was showing pretty good form, hopefully it's just a couple of bad games he's going through. Ozzie has faith in his SP's to get the job done. When Jon Garland was struggling earlier in the season, people might have said he was being left in the games too long, but look at Jon now. His confidence will have definitely been higher knowing that Ozzie has faith in him throwing at least 6-7 innings. .......not only is our pen not always the answer, but a reasonable trade for another starter is probably not the answer either. You've heard the cliches a million times before, live by the sword, die by the sword, you've gotta dance with the girl that got you to the party etc......

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 09:58 PM) No matter what happens, it's Leyland. I realize it's not probable, but if Detroit spiffs the bed the rest of the year, it's still Leyland?

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 08:33 AM) Uh, yes it is, because it isn't working and its costing the Sox games. Why stick with a strategy that has proven, time and again, it won't work this year. If you know your starter melts down in the 6th once some runners get on, PULL HIM before that happens or when you see the first sign of it. Its the end of July, and if we just let them "work it out" we'll be out of the WC race by the end of August. What do you think that does to a guy's confidence in the big picture? Pretty soon his 'big' inning becomes the 4th, then the 3rd.....

I'm hoping for a washout. This team needs another day off.

I have no problem with the way Ozzie handles the starters. We all know his philosophy: Here's the ball, if you get in trouble, pitch your way out of it, I'll be in the dugout and won't bail your ass out, see you in the 8th inning. It worked last year, but since so far this year the starters haven't pulled their end, it's bad startegy on Ozzie's part???

Long ball or spiff.

QUOTE(CWSOX45 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 07:42 PM) Well let's see..... Sandy to the Sox....did we hear much of anything? no. MacDougal to the Sox...did we hear much of anything? no. Goes to show you that you never know what Kenny plans on doing next.... ....and the stuff you 'hear' he's gonna do, never happpens.

Carlos Lee is NOT coming here, Ozzie doesn't like him, period.

QUOTE(rcpweiner @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 03:30 PM) Anyone who's pissed about trading prospects ... can someone name the last one we got burned with trading? There's no Liriano's or Bagwell's in Kenny's past. I'll paraphrase Allen Iverson here: "Prospects. We're talking about prospects here. Prospects. Prospects, man. Prospects. Prospects. We're talking about prospects here."

It always surprises me that more people at the park don't really get INTO the video. Maybe they should only do the Thunderstruck intro before the game and play this video for the 7th inning stretch when the place is full and everyone is in their seat.

Just last week, most of this board wanted The Widge to be crucified. Today, we're wondering if anyone held his hand as they broke the news to him. Interesting.

Don't give Morneau anything to hit.

The true motive for White Sox G.M. Ken Williams might be drive up the price for the Tigers, who lead the Sox in the A.L. Central by 61/2 games. Ding ding dign ding ding

Anyone find it kinda funny that they plunked Pods...our speed guy....in the shin....in the 9th....with 2 outs....and the game out of reach?

I know this, Buehrle CANNOT hold a lead.

No thx. I'll take my chances with what we have now.

Whether it's intentional or not, the team seems to play better when Ozzie is running his mouth and in the spotlight. Hopefully the press runs with these quotes and the Sox put together a good win streak.

QUOTE(maggliopipe @ Jul 21, 2006 -> 08:45 AM) Everyone keeps saying this, but it's a lot to assume that this team, or any, will hit on all cylinders simultaneously for an extended period of time. It's just not guaranteed to happen. It's a good point of optimism but it's not money in the bank. But excusing Javy's 6th inning, we've had 3 nice starts in a row, so hopefully it's the start of a run. It's like I've said a million times before on this site, it ultimately comes down to is the glass half full or half empty?

We're looking at roughly a 10 game turn around, with roughly 10 weeks left to play. We'd need to shave off 1 game per week. No chance in hell.

Adversity? The Sox: Could possibly win the division Will probably win the WC Match up pretty well against all the potential AL playoff teams Still have not been even close to hitting on all cylinders Have almost half a season left to play

OMG! Kill yourselves now
