QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 09:30 PM) I'll glady take these two, along with a trade for Chad Tracy. You improve your offense a bunch just by adding these two (not counting Durazo). And, I'm talking Nomar at third -- money talks, and I doubt teams are going to be chomping at the bit to sign him as a SS -- though I could be wrong. His bat makes up for his defensive inefficincies, plus he's versataile, you can hit him pretty much anywhere from #2-6. Make.Me.Happy. No one else. Just me. I'd take Nomar at least as a DH. I don't know if I want Durazo. I would try to trade for Texieria(trade Young, Rogowski, and a Lumsden; give or take a little). I would also look at Jim Thome for DH. He absolutely would rake at the Cell. Yes, he's been injured this year, but the only guys worth going for in the offseaon this year IMHO are guys who have injury concerns.

He needs to worry about making the playoffs right now instead of his contract.

I've been on this bandwagon for some time now.

Any possible way to switch Ozzie and Lou after the last game of the regular season?

Better offense and a new manager. Since the site began, I can't think of a time in which pitching wasn't mentioned up until now. That's good, but we have glaring holes on offense. Problem is that all the decent worthwhile FA's that are available play positions that are already good enough on this team. I mean Bengie will be getting alot more than AJ and I also think AJ is a much better game caller than Bengie. Crede has the best glove that's available to us. He saves Mark and Jon a lot of runs. Plus his offense seems like it's coming around as long as he keeps his current stance. He's a 9 hitter anyway. Ask the Yanks if they would like that type of production out of their 9 hitter and they would love it. Uribe is a necessity at short. Only because of his strong arm. He's very streaky and I think he should be a platoon player if we do go look at SS. Giles is the only real option. Especially since Pods doesn't steal bases anymore. Pods is as useful as Willie right now. He better learn how to steal or he should be traded and room should be made for Giles. We need to desperately do something with that DH spot though. Either Frank or some massive power hitter via trade.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 07:26 PM) I'm going with that as well. Fooled on a 1-1 changeup, I'm going to say K as well.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 07:25 PM) Konerko is the only guy on this team who isn't a quitter. *cough* Crede *cough*

Well we scored. We'll still f it up.

We'll probably load the bases and whoever's up there next will f it up.

Aaron is the worst #3 hitter I've seen behind Carl(of the past month and a half). Another soft grounder. Can't pull the trigger on a fastball down the middle or a hanging change.

2-2. A-Row is looking to be an automatic out or DP.

I agree with Ozzie using the bench. He must finally realize his guys aren't doing it and he's sending them the message that if you didn't get it done, someone else will have a shot. I disagree with throwing in Geoff f***ing Blum out of all people to use. Use Gload or Anderson, not Blum. And now AJ comes in behind the plate. He must be f***ing pissed.

DP for Blum. This is why I wouldn't take Ozzie over Dusty Baker.

Hope everything turns out okay.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 09:43 AM) Here's the beauty about this last week: all four teams involved in the race control their own destiny. If they win, they're in the playoffs. Lose, and they're likely out. One quick thing, the White Sox have a problem of winning.

Happy Birthday!

I voted Anaheim before I thought of the fact we can't win out west. Boston is my 2nd choice. Under no circumstances the revived Yanks or Injuns.

QUOTE(bighurt2719 @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 05:28 PM) i hate the name papi. please can we call him anything but that. It hates you too. That's why despite your hate, it continues to blossom into wins. Cheers to Little Papi and the Rally Crede.

Illini. Bears defense was left out there to dry because their offense simply sucked.

Since the inception of the Rally Crede, Joe Crede has been the most dominant player in the league.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 03:01 PM) Two spots left. Fill those up. The Sox are back. s***, put me in.

s***, error by Uribe.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 01:42 PM) I hope they don't start the game prematurely, because if they can only go 3 and there's another 1-2 hour rain delay, who comes out to pitch? Adkins? Probably Duque.

Problem is that they'll probably leave Greinke in for too long. They have no bullpen for the most part. I'm not holding my breath and expecting a Royals win.
