HI JAMEY THIS IS JI JIM THOME

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 02:15 PM) Woo Hoo! i mean crap! i mean woo hoo! 2 run lead, but we'll see Wise even more! Crap! I mean woo hoo! +2

QUOTE (Sox It To Em @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 02:07 PM) Slightly off-topic, but aren't awards voted on the day after the regular season, so postseason performance doesn't factor in? Yes. But I meant it as Alexei showing off why he is a legitimate ROY contender, too.

Feeling that Alexei will lead off with homer to establish his counter-ROY credentials.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 02:00 PM) Haha. Settle down guys. You know what our deficiencies are. We did a great job to make the postseason. Try to enjoy this s*** instead of getting all pissed off in the second inning. It's amazing we even made the f***ing playoffs with our injuries. Enjoy the show. +2 I am enjoying the show.

We needed to score to win this game anyway. Newsflash - Evan Longoria is good. Javy is bad in clutch situations. We probably weren't going to win with Javy on the mound anyway. All upside from here - the Sox can only RECLAIM this game.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 01:57 PM) Wow javy, way to f*** your fans, AND Alexei. ROY voting has already taken place. Right after regular season.

+1 Amazing how this is only raised when the winner of the season series loses home field advantage on a coin flip. If Bobby Jenks doesn't blow last Thursday's game, there ain't no tiebreaker anyway.

I think they put the fact that every ESPN "expert" picked the Rays on the bulletin board as well...

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 09:41 AM) They cant afford either one and Crede is an injury risk, which is good for the Sox. Twins fans are chatting about how they want Mauer moved to third to save his knees for the future, so not sure about Cuddyer over there. Please move Mauer to third and put Redmond or some other scrub into the lineup on a regular basis. Mauer is plus plus offense and defense behind the plate. Move him to third and he's nowhere near as valuable. I'd love to see them make Mauer a 1B man, move Morneau to DH and force them to fill the 3B and C positions with below replacement level folks.

QUOTE (rangercal @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 08:14 AM) I would say I am relaxed for a few reasons.. -Already Winning it all in 2005. -Eliminating the Twins already makes this season a success no matter what. -We have Vets vs Young Guns in the Playoffs. -We are on the road and expected to lose this series. I think the pressure is on the rays to win the first 2 games. All the Sox have to do is Split the first 2 and the Series swings their way. +4 I feel the same way. You hit all the points on the head. ESPN Experts 100% pick the Rays = we are supposed to lose = nothing but upside from series. Beating the Twins in the pennant race makes the season a resounding success for me.

Everything is gravy after that win last night...so I feel like the Sox are playing with house money. The Rays are a better team than the Sox this year (even with CQ and Crede and Linebrink healthy) and I expect them to beat the Sox in 3 or 4 games. Everyone knows at this point that Vazquez chokes in big games and he'll probably lose game 1. Since I'm OK with where the Sox are right now, I'm OK with that as well.

It was so indescribably sweet to beat the Twins, I just had to create a T-Shirt to commemorate it. I bought two of these for myself, figured if anyone else wanted one, it is easy to share. Not looking to make money here, if there are any payments from CafePress, I'd just give them to Sox Charities: http://www.cafepress.com/TCDelendaEst.312314733#

Nice for US to get a 0-2 hit for once.

QUOTE (scenario @ Sep 28, 2008 -> 01:30 PM) So... BlackBetsy, fathom, whitesoxfan101, and anyone else I called out... I'm sorry. You were right. I was wrong. You called me out? On the White Sox e-mail list I'm know to sign off e-mails with "F@#& Javier Vazquez" Happily, I'm 95% sure he will be gone next year, to somewhere like Washington, Cincinnati or Atlanta where he can win meaningless games in peace. (I'm for Javy Vazquez + as much cash as it takes for Lannan or Hanrahan)

Is their a OZzie post game press conference on CSN ? Can someone liveblog it?

QUOTE (BlackBetsy @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 10:35 PM) Meaningless runs? You can put them on the board yes.

Meaningless runs?

QUOTE (Sox It To Em @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 10:33 PM) Seriously, I've been a Hawk apologist for a while now but he's making it very difficult. I wish they had a transcript of Hawk tonight for the out of town folks.

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 10:28 PM) I am so glad that we gave Javy Vazquez $10 million but wouldn't pay Jon Garland. +90

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 10:17 PM) Does anyone agree with throwing a bean ball right now? Maybe we don't want to get them fired up for the last 2 games but something to change the White Sox perspective is needed right now...it's getting time for some desperate measures.... I agree. I wouldn't mind a brawl. Throw at Mauer. That will get the Twins riled up and the Sox too.

No pitches even close to the inside on these Twins guys. They are laughing at the White Sox. Why doesnt this team show an ounce of pride?

LOL. I mean, totally gutless.

How does Ozzie not order a knockdown?

Please please beanball on Morneau.
