QUOTE (griffey17 @ Sep 26, 2008 -> 04:21 PM) i think the one game playoff would be a day game as well.... Possibly. Wasn't the Colorado/San Diego game last year a night game?

I don't fault Cabrera at all. I too wonder where has our "so-called" leader gone in Paul Konerko? I've thought he was overrated for awhile. Well before 2005, but fans seem to love him. He really does not lead or say anything. Just because he's a nice guy does not make him a leader. I rather have more guys like Cabrera who seem to at least give a damn instead of guys like Dye who are calling fans ignorant.

Anyone got the complete lineup?

They should trade a CB if someone is willing to overpay for them. Their CB's and S's absolutely are brutal.

QUOTE (letsgoarow @ Sep 26, 2008 -> 02:37 PM) i think a new rule should be if you say the season is over when its not you should be suspended....all we have to do is win at home When was the last time we won 3 games in a row? How about swept a series?

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Sep 26, 2008 -> 10:59 AM) and Lee isn't pitching fo the Indians Here is the line-up I would throw out there for all four (hopefully 3) games and say get it done you are all veterans Swisher-Cabrera-Thome-Dye-Griffey-Konerko-Ramirez -AJ-Uribe Bullpen for all three games Dotel - Thorton - Linebrink - Jenks, that's it. I would do it too, but we all know Ozzie won't.

And so much for not going to the Metrodome anymore. Kenny ended up going to all 3 games.

QUOTE (almagest @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 02:31 PM) I have. A friend of mine lives in Portage Park, which is right by there. He complains constantly about how awful the Blue Line is, though, which is one of the reasons I haven't looked at much around there. Blue line is awful. Constant construction on it to remove "slow zones" which in reality was supposed to be done last year.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 26, 2008 -> 10:23 AM) Lets Go KC!!!! they are fighting for 4th place, 1/2 game up on the Tigers...gotta stay out of the cellar and show some improvement Royals! Go Royals.

QUOTE (hawksox13 @ Sep 26, 2008 -> 09:53 AM) Some of you guys are unbelievable! The Sox and Twins are TIED in the loss column. How can anybody say these games don't matter. If the Sox win these next four home games, where by the way, they win 70% of the time, they will win this division. I don't see the Twins sweeping the Royals. I think Greinke will shut them down. Yeah the last three days sucked, yeah the Sox didn't show much, but the upcoming series is huge. Fans need to show up and cheer for their team. But b1tching on message boards and feeling sorry for yourself isn't going to do anything. Go Sox! Greinke isn't pitching against the Twins.

QUOTE (Nokona @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 09:35 PM) You, sir, are retarded. Not really. Yes, he's been a good bullpen arm, but he is far from dominant, he allows runners on a lot, and he has turned into a bit of a nibbler. And let's face it, the only reason he doesn't throw 101mph anymore is because he can't, not because he doesn't want to.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 09:33 PM) Well, this is the worst, most inaccurate title of a game thread in history. Close this thread, and let's start the game thread in a few hours with more positivity. Heck no. Everyone else got to make their thread. This is mine. And I have a winning record making threads. Change the title if you want mods.

The worst part is, the Twins, before the series, were playing as bad as the Royals or Pirates. SMH. It looks like Orlando and Griffey came to play. Swisher really didn't have a shot. Jenks needs to be traded because this whole control bulls*** isn't for him. He's worthless without his 101mph heater.

Who's pitching? Who cares?

Span is going to get a walkoff hit.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 08:52 PM) That's the biggest load of s*** ever about Jenks. He's lost 4 mph on his fastball, and has fallen apart during the 2nd half in 2 of the last 3 seasons. I know and that's what I said when I first heard that stupid s***.

So much for being able to still throw 100mph when he needs to.

I'm telling you, Griffey has been very valuable this series. Wise has been awful.

BA should be in left. Wise should not be playing. That, or play your best offensive lineup and put Swisher in there because he's your best threat.

QUOTE (HeGone33 @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 08:59 PM) Jenks 7,8,9 or Danks.............Fuc* it! Honestly, I'd throw a starter out there. f*** it, throw Javy for an inning or two.

He said nothing wrong. I hope he's back next year.

This team needs Carl Everett. Whether you liked him or not, the players respected him and he would rally the troops. We can't let this s*** go any farther. Sadly, if we do beat them 15-2, it doesn't make up for other losses. I mean, we still must go to Cleveland too.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 24, 2008 -> 09:04 PM) Hit the f***ing ball, or work on your golf swing. It's the same thing, isn't it? Anyway, you guys make them early. I really wanted to make the game thread. Damn you guys. Now we'll lose because only I stop losing streaks.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 24, 2008 -> 10:45 AM) Come on people, get with the times. It's the Jobu this year. Rally Crede was a 2005 thing SMH get with the program. Crede will play in the 9th inning tonight and hit a game winning G-Slam.

Yes we do. I've had him in my avy forever and I guess someone stopped hosting him. Time for the rally Crede to rise from the ashes.
