I believe it's the same time as Game 1.

They'll probably go on sale a week from Thursday.

Who's TK?

QUOTE(SoxRock192 @ Oct 9, 2005 -> 04:03 PM) Still, why would Dye be 1B anyway If we are unable to keep PK or feel he's too expensive for our tastes, then Dye to 1B is a realistic option. Dye doesn't have the range he used to in the OF anymore because of his leg. Dye at 1B though has the strong arm and not as much as area to cover(about 1/4th if that of the OF). Plus he's taller(which is a plus) and gets good reads off the ball. Last but not least, it's easier to find an OF replacement than a 1B(offensively).

Playing 1B is one of the easiest things you could do unless you're a pitcher. I don't know why people think it would be such a shaky move. I would go as far as saying that Dye would have more range at 1B than PK. I'm not saying I want Konerko gone, but if he's in bigtime demand, Dye to 1B isn't so far fetched.

I would switch Garland and Buehrle honestly. I rather have the sinkerball go at home and Buehrle go on the road which would be a bigger ballpark.

Haha, good s***. Whatever works for the team is fine by me.

Rogers is crazy.

Awesome thread. I love it.

QUOTE(SnB @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 11:36 PM) an active crowd > a non active crowd. i love stuff like that, it's better than the wave or something that has nothign to do with the game. Agreed.

QUOTE(MinnySoxFan @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 09:25 PM) I don't have a huge problem with bandwagoners. If they want to hop on, go ahead. Don't worry. We're never going to turn into the SAUX or the Cubbies. The bandwagoners just have to know that it will be more fun and mean more to the rest of us than it does to them. That's all. Otherwise, hop on board. Give us money. And support this awesome awesome team. Go Sox. I agree strongly with this. Great post.

QUOTE(iWiN4PreP @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 11:24 PM) I love it - its a way of recognition to our best bat. "Paul-ie Paulie" just gets the intensity going in a big-at-bat However - some1 on this board said something that usually when the paulie chant erose's - then paulie ends up getting out - im not sure if thats true all the time or not, but that wud suck if it had something mentally wrong with paulie and made him try to hard lol That would be me. And because of that, I hate the chant. I've only seen him be successfull with that chant going on 3 times(and that was this year while in the chat).

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 12:13 PM) Much as people bash Konerko I think he's proven himself many times over in the second half and so far in the playoffs. f*** this s***bag Ramirez.......let the Spankees have him. Let's not get crazy here Nuke. Manny on the White Sox would automatically be the best hitter on our team as soon as he joined(though that will probably never happen).

Yep, if it wasn't for Boras(who he'll prolly hire) I think he would fit in with the latin clubhouse and he'd help keep everyone at ease. I don't think Manny's personality would be any problem really. I mean Ozzie would tell him like it is and Manny knows by now what type of team we are. Boras would be a huge problem however. Oh yeah, don't hate on redsoxjamie. He isn't so bad. He's like benchwarmerjim.

I need a job. Steff, how much does it pay?

QUOTE(Felix @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 05:30 PM) Angels bullpen > Yankees bullpen Top 2 vs Top 2, I'd take the Yanks. Rivera + Gordon >> F-Rod + Shields. I'm not worried about bullpen guys overall, I'm worried about getting shut down by a great closer. Look what Lidge did in the playoffs last year as the only bullpen option.

Angels. Yanks have the overall lineup and Mariano Rivera. K-Rod

QUOTE(gosox41 @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 09:28 AM) Why him? Why not go with Contreras the first game? He's been the team's hottest pitcher. After that I'm all for comparing stats b/w Buerhle andGarland for Game 2. Game 3 on the road should be Freddy since he pitches so well there. There's no reason not to start your hottest pitcher on the first game of the playoffs if he has the rest. Contreras last pitched Tuesday. Let him pitch this Tuesday. Bob Reasons why Garland starts Game 1 is all over the thread.

Lol.

I won't say no right now. Depends on how far we get. Let's talk about this after the season is over.

Welcome to Soxtalk As far as a slogan, "Deez Keedz Kahn Play!"

Ozzie is perfect for keeping the guys on their toes, but yet keeping them comfortable.

I'd do what someone suggested earlier. I'd have him throw a simulated game today actually. Just so he isn't 100% for Tuesday. He's going to need that heavy sinker working. You can't keep him out because the guy hasn't had any work for almost 2 weeks when the game is played. That's not good and would render him useless if you don't start him. Also, I don't want Buehrle anywhere near Game 2. Let him get his Yankee Stadium/Angel Stadium(or w/e the ell they call it) start. It's harder to hit a ball out of Yankee Stadium/Angel Stadium than it is at the Cell. Contreras has to start Game 2 in my mind. At home, with everyone behind him and probably his family again. Let's give him the most comfortable atmosphere possible.

Awesome stuff.
