QUOTE(3E8 @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 09:19 AM) We've seen Lohse before. But I can tell you one thing, Konerko better not be in the lineup with Gload available. He is 6 for 46 lifetime off Lohse. I thought we were facing Liriano. We might get to Lohse. We better hope we do. Cleveland's up so they're not going to lose.

Don't go to the Cell. Our team f'n blows with fans in the seats. Now is not the time to start going.

Those Yankees look like they'll be making the playoffs over us as well. Mariotti is right. And Mariotti was a supporter of us since late June. Even on Friday when on the Coors 6 pack of questions with Jeff Brantley, he said he thought we'd still hang on slightly when Jeff Brantley thought we wouldn't make it.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 07:01 AM) On Sep. 7 the lead was 9 1/2. People were starting to fret and doubt the Sox then. If this is what drives them and has them lose 6 games in the standings in 12 days with no head to head games against the compitition, I'd hate to see what would happen if nobody worried. This would be the biggest collapse in major league history. After looking like a AA team in KC, where they were lucky they weren't swept, they have scored a whopping 2 runs in 2 games in Minneapolis. I don't think the prospects for victory are very good Sunday afternoon. This team is choking big time. I agree completely. Today we're facing a pitcher we haven't seen which means total shutdown for the offense.

Funny stuff by the guy. He at least tried. I honestly don't care what others do though. The White Sox brought all this taunting on themselves with their piss poor play.

Looks very ugly.

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 08:49 PM) God I hope he isn't. Cuz if he is, it's not working and I'm out of ideas. I agree. I think he's very late in deciding to play his opening day lineup for the stretch run. Like 2 weeks late. If I'm Ozzie and Kenny I chew this team out completely. I want thrown chairs and Gatorade, broken doors, bent steel and cracked bats. If this team chokes it away, I want to see it completely blown up. There is no excuse for this s***ty play.

It bothers me that he says could. It's more like will the way the team is playing.

I think it's time to put up the Crede banner up there and leave it up for good. We must drain it of it's resources. Before, all of us fans were thinking, there would be nothing worse than being one and done in the playoffs. Now we found something worse. The power of Crede is summoned upon by us fans as if we were Power Rangers calling upon our megazords. Mods, make it happen and let's use up all of the Crede banner power. Put them at the top and bottom of the page. Tried to flip them so you could put them on the sides too. Oh Crede banner, us Sox fans calleth upon thy.

I'm guessing by the reaction in this thread that we lost.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 01:05 PM) Buehrle can shut teams down just as well as Santana did today (albiet, with fewer strikeouts.) He just hasn't done it lately at all. I don't think so. Buehrle always gives up hits and his K numbers are low. Buehrle is a strong benefactor of the players around him. Santana is a guy who could go and get k's for half the outs if need be. Buehrle is not in the same ballpark as Santana.

QUOTE(farmteam @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 08:15 AM) Anyone know WHY it's only on radio today? Basically Fox has the rights to any Saturday Morning games. Usually this game would be picked up by Fox, but their games don't start until 12. The reason for the game starting at 11 is because the Minny Gophers play later tonight and they have to get the game in and the field ready for that game. Therefore no tv.

If Duque wins this, you could pretty much put him in a lock to start in the playoffs, even if it means Ozzie goes with a 5 man rotation. Why? Because Ozzie is someone who would do something like that.

Oh nice, we're going to attack people for their musical taste. *rolls eyes*

It's rocket fuel baby!

Good thread. We're f***ed.

Well he went with the pitch and did nothing. Crede continues to dominate however.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 04:15 PM) Can you name any players who you'd expect would be signing with the D-Rays? Not with the way they're doing business. They'll never build up a nice fanbase if they don't do business the right way.

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 09:45 AM) Of course not...did you not look at Pods stats in September? He is doing great. If the Everetts, and Dyes, and AJs turned it up, we might have something. And Ozzie, quit taking TAGUCHI out of the lineup. Pods' job is not only to get on base, but to get steals and score runs. He hasn't done that. Right now, he's the crappiest .300 hitter(for the month of sept) in baseball. Getting on base for him just means he's prolonging the out. Don't make a difference if you get on base and they make an out opposed to making an out at the plate.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 04:11 PM) I thought that was the Griffey line. Nope, it's Hawk's.

Do it Ozzie. DO IT!!!!!

you may remember this article from a couple of months ago...

I don't blame him. They keep holding him down. The guy is supposed to be the next Manny or Vlad. He'd help the White Sox right away. We know Chuck Lamarr would probably ask for the farm for him.

Um, Crede has actually been pretty decent since he's come back. And he provides a nice glove. Everett looks lost. Aaron Rowand has digressed offensively. Last but not least, welcome to soxtalk.

QUOTE(Wong & Owens @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 12:53 PM) To answer the question, I think the lead will be 3.5 games come Monday. 2.5 simply because I said CLE will pass us up on Wednesday.
