Punch and Judy Garland

bad play by pods not running

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 11:32 PM) Scott can not get a bunt down as of late. Make that Podsahito can't get a bunt down tonight

I like the H'N'R. Pods makes decent enough contact and Widge needs the boost. Widger might get thrown out on a sacrifice

I was pissed that Aj had to come out earlier but he is more ready to catch tomorrow than Assmus for sure. I feel bad for how the catchers will feel getting out of bed tomorrow afternoon. Glad AJ won't have it as bad

QUOTE(AbeFroman @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 11:29 PM) astacio might have the best gerry curl in the league... I'll give him that much Juan Guzman would be proud

QUOTE(AbeFroman @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 11:28 PM) no kidding... if you don't have faith to throw him so far, why is marte even on this roster Granted, everything would have been different because Mac would likely have been used a bit earlier but I think he would have stretched things out better.

QUOTE(Whitesoxfan56 @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 11:28 PM) stupid me....mark's arm was sore so there is no way he will pitch tonight...my bad Thats ok. IF this goes 20 then Mark might pitch!

we MUST play for the win tonight. 2-1 vs. 3-0 is the biggest difference I can imagine

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 11:26 PM) yea, but you really don't want to concede a game, especially when you have used your entire bullpen trying to win it. Doesn't B-Mac over Marte make so much sense now?

QUOTE(Whitesoxfan56 @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 11:25 PM) will they bring in contereas/buehrle or marte? Definitely Marte for awhile but it'd be Jose and not Buehrle later. Buehrle is on one days rest which I think is a day early for a side day. That said, its now Wednesday so you can be flexible!

QUOTE(sin city sox fan @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 11:25 PM) Woah!!!!!!!! Was that 1-2-3????? I'm in more shock than when we pitched our way out of the last 4 innings!! I think the dugout is using the laptop again and told Jenks to mow them down!

Remember this peeps, Jenks is out for tomorrow. Dustin Hermanson is your closer. That is what these games do when there is no off day the next day

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 11:22 PM) I dunno. If you do that you could be dumping 2 games. Well Jose can still go on Thursday if you limit him to just two innings. The problem is then what if it is still tied. Well, you could go longer with Jose and have Buehrle move up to game 5 which is not ideal, but we are past ideal. Again, these aren't plans that I hope we use but Ozzie needs to be prepared for anything at this point.

QUOTE(Elcaballo45 @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 11:22 PM) Anybody else get nervous when Poddy does those one handed stabs for fly balls? I don't like it when Timo does it and I dislike it when Pods and Paulie do it too

this is a war of attrition

I sort of hope there is a two out runner on so that we can get Qualls out. That said, Vizcaino would come in and that would suck

he has to take it for the team to an extent but this is a huge game-obviously the World Series. We can't dump a game so if need be I think Jose can give you two tonight.

I think Contreras is your emergency man. He is supposed to pitch in about 40 hours but he is closest to his side day. Mark is probably out, especially with a sore arm. Freddy is obviously off-limits. Jose is my guy if this were to go 15 or 16 or something like that

with the exception of the last inning, our offense isn't putting up the fight that there's is. Thats why it feels like we aren't quite in an even battle here, plus their last-bat advantage. Once Qualls comes out I think we wake up though

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 11:15 PM) I don't. well you'd not last as a big league hitter then

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 11:15 PM) Rowand is pathetic tonight. Scouting reports cna kill a guy in the playoffs. See Alphonso Soriano 2003

At least the Qualls era is coming to an end soon

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 11:14 PM) Cmon aaron, you've been due since about June. true dat

As bleak as things are with Jenks and Marte, they have Qualls and then two guys who are green and not very good. I hope the Martay Partay is ready to step up and be a man if needed

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 11:12 PM) Please. The guy has done it alot because of an enfatuation with Timo Perez the person, not the player by the White Sox manager, and he hasn't even been remotely acceptable at it. In the last three seasons he's batted .173 with a .419 ops pinch hitting. I think I'd take my 1.000 batting average over his .173. In my opinion, I believe you must take a pitch in the situation he was in, he didnt, and he nubbed a slow roller down the first base line. You swing at the first strike that looks hittable in an RBI spot
