Maybe BMac's bad outtings earlier led to the Sox getting lowball offers in trade talks, therefore no trades involving BMac. Now it's paying off and if he keeps it up could he be in the playoff rotation?

Sock'em White Sox !!

Oh no everybody toeing the company line . It's worse than I thought .

I hear AJP is staying home too . So Widge will be in the lineup.

This sweep should ease the minds of anyone who was worried about the Indians catching us. And if you're honest ,August scared the hell out of you, myself included. Winning makes me happy and right now I'm smiling ear to ear.

I've seen the same threads over the past couple of days. Seems like with the Sox on a roll and getting ever closer to a division title things would be jumpin' around here. But with the exception of the game thread and "thats another White Sox winner" few new topics have been posted recently. I know the admins wanted to make it easier for people to start threads without having to be personally lambasted with the new policy , but it seems to have had the opposite effect. Is it just my imagination runnin' away with me or is Soxtalk on red alert and running scared when we should be in the most giddy and enthusiastic state ever ?

Willie 4 hits in 2 days ! Whoda thunk it ??

Contreras' 3rd start in a row with 0 walks ! Whoda thunk it ??

Please, please ,please, start winning again. Do not limp into the playoffs. Please, please start winning at home. And please for heavens sake put a competitive lineup out there everday. Now is not the time to rest any one. If the Sox blow this division everyone will be talking about the collapse of 05' in the same vein as the Flubs collapse of 69'.

Congrats BMac on your 1st ML win !!! If he comes back with 15 added lbs. I will be very surprised. With that kind of frame it is extremely difficult to add weight. I should know because I am a"tall drink of water" myself. But then again I never had a personal trainer. He can add a few lbs. to his legs and upper body but that isnt a guarantee for more speed on the fastball. If extra muscle messes with a fluid motion it could hinder it. If he can add 6-8 extra lbs that should be good. He will fill out as he ages. (Everyone kept telling me that but it never happened.)

Aww Poor Jabroni. He wasnt such a bad guy. Opinionated? Oh yea . But there's no denying his Dead-ication to the Sox.

I think I'll just punch this dude in the ass.

Balta we need to watch some games together man. You probably live closer to me then anyone on all of Soxtalk. Playoffs come round we have to party especially if we play the Angels.

Mark (of the beast) Hellborn is Satan's spawn. Sorry, just felt like being stupid.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 06:56 PM) For me the main thing is I love the game. I'll watch the playoffs irregardless of who is in them (although if because of some freak tragic thing the Sox don't make it--I might not watch, or at least cry while watching, in my bathrobe with ice-cream). When the Sox do well I'm super happy, but I just love to watch the game. Obviously it's preferable for the Sox to win, but I think when you get so focused on winning you forget what a great game baseball is. You hit the nail on the head. I live and breathe Sox baseball but when it's World Series time I'm watching every game.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 08:23 PM) Hmm... what to trust... defensive statistic like UZR, or fathom's eyes. Tough call. Idle baseball speculation since he was designated for assignment by Boston.

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 05:11 PM) oooooooohhh ... stop yourself and grow up and then read the thread at the top of the page. No sexual references to players, you can criticize their performance but none of your normal humor, stop it and have a PBR or maybe even a Strohs. Did I mention to stop yourself? I thought so. I have the 1977 CSN cd on the stereo right now ... underrated. I used to listen to that album constantly. Fair Game, Dark Star, Just a Song Before I Go, Cathedral, I Give You Give Blind and Shadow Captain ; all great songs. I got it on vinyl.

QUOTE(whitesoxjr27 @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 07:24 AM) i agree 100% los. it will go either way. just have to wait and take it one game at a time. Have you been watching Bull Durham lately ?

Amen to that brother. Helluva game.

DAMN HIPPIES !!

"We put the 0 in 0ffense." "Chemistry isn't everything, it's the only thing." "Ken Griffey, Jr. or bust." " And we will all go down together." Borrowed from Billy Joel. "At least we're not on steroids." "Remain calm,all is well. DON'T PANIC, DAMN IT !!! " "Good pitching will always beat good hitting, won't it ?"

wHO DELETED MY POST ?

I've watched Sox games for years and know baseball . What any announcer says has little impact on me. They're doing what I would love to be doing and in Hawk's case in a style all his own. But when a Sox players hits a HR you can hear me yelling "YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOARD.....YESSSS !
