QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 08:32 PM) He induces wild pitches with a runner on 3rd. OK I'll give him that, but assure me there will be 100 of them next year

Rios batting and a wild pitch scores CQ 4-2 Sox!

YES ALEXEI 3-2 Sox. Let's keep it coming

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 08:24 PM) Only 2 starters did not reach base in any AB today. Can you name them for $1000 Tell me again what Rios was suposed to bring to this team and assure me it will be a plus for 2010

Wise steals second and CQ takes a3-2 bal for a walk. Ramirez up. Go Sox go!

QUOTE (longshot7 @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 08:23 PM) Setting ourselves up for another walkoff loss? We need to stay posiitve. we still have guys fighting to win

Dye takes a walk and Quentin is up. CQ needs to be selective and not swing at the first pitch and pop up

Beckham and Konerko with homers off Nathan. We still have some fight left in us after all

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 05:33 PM) They oughts shut Buerhle down for the rest of the year although not getting a win after the perfect game would not be a nice start to the offseason. Three hits allowed in two innings shows me he isn't sharp yet, but the guy always seems to find a way to get that GIDP. He is such a battler. Only hope he doesn't hang one of those pitches and gets hammered for a homer. The sox don't seem to have any offense anymore.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 05:33 PM) have we even seen crede this series? DL or shut down becasue of back problems is what I heard

QUOTE (Tex @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 12:54 PM) Steve, you are at the second stage. You need to work through the anger and get to bargaining, then depression, and finally acceptance. There is time left this season, and we all will be working through these stages. Some quicker than others. When does death enter into the picture?

Go get em Mark Buerhle and let's win this last one at the HumphreyDump I think this game is on WGN so I'll record it for later viewing if we win. Otherwise it will self destruct

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 06:49 PM) Did you even read about the Contreras deal? What we got was more than I had expected. You must not have expected too much then

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 11:34 PM) I love this idea. I want to see Johnny Danks hit Justin Morneau in the face with a 94mph fastball. Then I want the benches to empty with the Twins players kicking the majority of the Sox players' asses. Beckham, Rios, Floyd, Danks, Buehrle, and Thornton can stay out of it. And DJ Carrasco and Peavy too, if he's there. I'd say keep AJ out of the fray but he's our biggest weapon. The rest of them can fight to the death. And give Flowers some more steroids so he can go on a rampage, breaking his bat into shards and then stabbing Carlos Gomez with it about 47 times. And get Jim Ross to replace Hawk. Stoney and his teenage wife can head on back to Taco Bell for all I care. I hate this team. I don't want to see anyone hit in the face with a baseball. You shouldn't either.

QUOTE (son of a rude @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 10:12 PM) ozzie take the heat, he never let players take the heat, he take it all. And it's hot right now-very-very hot

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 11:59 PM) Thome supposedly had talked with the Dodgers directly as early as yesterday morning, so I think it's very possible if not likely that Kenny talked to Thome about the arb situation before the trade and explained matters from the Sox perspective. Thome doesn't have a lot of options and the Sox organization still seems to love him. He's still productive and a great veteran presence and clubhouse influence, which will be even more important now that Dye and maybe even Konerko are out the door. I think there's a very good chance he's back with us next year, especially since Thome still wants to play in Chicago or Cleveland, and Cleveland isn't going to be doing anything for a while. All the speculation about Thome being back next year is just that total speculation. Thome talked with the Dodgers after knowing they wanted to trade for him and he told them he coulf not physuically play 1B anymore. I do wonder if he could as an emergency or some similar reason? I do buy the idea the Sox are hoping to give Jim Thome a chance to play in a World Series again and traded him to LA when we failed to get into position for a run at it ourselves. My speculation is that Jim T will not be abck here in a Sox uniform in 2010 regardless if he is a great guy or not, which he is for sure. The Sox will rebuild and we may obviously see more changes. Dye may be gone as well as Konerko and we will see some pitching changes.

QUOTE (whitesoxlove @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 06:26 PM) Why is Buehrle turning his head like that?? It fills in the picture better

Looking forward to seeing him and deciding whther he was worth trading a 15 game winning picther for. My hope is yes he was and is

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 07:09 PM) Added Peavy Added Rios No walk up crowds for Septmember games Jenks gets expensive. My thoughts on Jenks are if he isn't playing hurt then he is definently losing his touch. Trade him over the off season. He is not perfomring and hasn't for awhile. Now it could be just a bad year, but his driop in velocity and pitches grooved down the middle are troubling signs

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 08:54 PM) I can't believe we only called up one pitcher, and it wasn't Hudson. Is he up against an innings limit right now? Is there any playoff stuff happening for teams other than Charlotte?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 08:53 PM) It's about time Wise is back. Anyone else notice that once he went down the team tanked? Come to think about...

Adios Amigo, Buena suerte in Colorado!

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 01:20 PM) I'd love to see Peavy pitch sometime next week. There's no reason to let all of his hard work be for naught. My sentiments exactly. Lwet's see what we have to look forward to in 2010

After the trade of Thome and Contreras and basically the admission now of KW that we are done for the season it will be interesting to see how the team reacts. We need to win 2 games here at the HumphreyDump and maybe as Ozzie said thse guys have looked themselves in the mirror. It is too bad we didn't get something in return for either player, but in this day and age I guess that was to be expected. I hope to listen on XM radio tonight.

Thnaks Jim Thome and Jose Contreras for the god things you did for this team. Sorry we couldn't win one again with you guys.
