QUOTE(CYGarland @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 02:09 PM) And Cotts exits after only 1 batter again :headshake Seriously, sometimes I have the feelings that Ozzie is trying to hide and save Cotts for the postseason! Perhaps, Cotts will be Ozzie's ultimate weapon during the playoff.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 02:08 PM) 4 Two Down Four To Go!!!

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 02:05 PM) I just canceled a 12pm conference call!! And I thought I am the only bad worker!

Man, I'm doing anything at work. I am glued to this computer and of course to my favorite White Sox forum! Noone will be able to pry me away from this spot! It will be a pleasure to celebrate our winning AL Central division online with you guys!

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 01:42 PM) GO to Willie ends the 7th 4-1 Sox!!!! two more innings to go!!!!! LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS! Man, I am so excited!!! It has been such a long time since the year of 2000. On my way coming back to my office, I was listening to Murphy on the SCORE. Murphy mentioned that the Sox's TV rating has shot up through the roof, and he believed Cubs fans were the reason. Not surprisingly, a whole lot of Cubs fans called in and admitted it, but for the reason that they wanted to witness the collapse of the White Sox. I guess we just have to disappoint all of you!

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 01:29 PM) End of 6 innings... 4-0 Sox 3 MORE INNINGS TO GO!!! MAN, I AM SO PSYCHED UP!!!

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 12:35 PM) Look, I know that we'd all like to wrap this thing up and all but hear me out. I kind of want the Yankees to run the table to win the East and for us to tie Cleveland for the division. I say this because of how memorable one-game playoffs truly are. THink back to Angels-Mariners or the Sawx/Yanks for the Bucky Dent game. I will celebrate us making the playoffs when we win the division but there is a large part of me that knows how great a one-game playoff to move on or go home would be in Chicago on Monday afternoon. It would be an electric atmosphere You gotta be nut! Win today game, and just sit back, relax and enjoy the rest of the regular season. We need time to fix our hearts before the gruesome postseason begins.

If you look in the Cardinals, Red Sox or Yankees' message board, you will see at many times during this season Larussa, Francona and Torre were all being criticized and being virtually fired by their fans. That's the nature of watching games through such a long period of time. There will be ups and downs even in one game, let alone 162! To me, the bottom line is the number of wins, and whether or not we make the postseason. Well we are going to have more than 95 wins and make the playoff by winning tonight game. What more do you want to ask for from the 2ND-YEAR manager? And please do not tell me making the postseason is nothing, and any manager can take this group of players and advance past the regular season! How long have we been waiting for the postseason? Without Ozzie, we won't have this current record. All of the players believe in Ozzie. Remember we did not have Thomas for most of the season! We could have made the postseason last year if not for the ending-season injuries to Ordonez AND Thomas! Perhaps you guys can make your own league and be its coach, but this Sox fan think it's way OVER the line to create FireOzzie.com!

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 09:59 PM) Ok so its all clear now. Win tommorow and we are going to the playoffs no matter what. The Tribe if sweep us would be a tie assuming we both win tommorow. That would put us both at 96 wins. One team in the East will only be able to get a max of 95 wins so win tommorow and the "choke" is over. YES!!! Just win tomorrow and we are IN.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 09:53 PM) And they win the tie breaker with the better head to head. So a tie = win Well, according to Channel 32 Fox Sport, by the virtue of a tie-breaker, the Sox will clinch their division IF they WIN tomorrow game. Woo Hoo... Win tomorrow and pop out the champagne!!!

QUOTE(Ishmookie @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 09:17 PM) Grilli could go out and kill us tommorow let's just see this thing finihed and not take anything for granted. Come on! What happen to faith and confidence? Let's knock Grilli out early in the game; so we can sit back, relax and truly enjoy the game.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 09:23 PM) Definitely not the biggest thing, steve. However, it would definitely be huge if we can get him running again. ONE of the biggest things tonight is the absence of Crede, and we still won the game handily. This game is for his new-born babygirl.

HELL YEAH JOSE!!!! Who would have thought the most inconsistent pitcher in the first half would be the savior for the Sox's season in the 2nd half? Here is to you Jose:

QUOTE(knightni @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 08:35 PM) OMG AROW! About time Rowand! Many more to come in the postseason...

My gosh, I am feeling sooooo tired and exhausted guys! These kinds of games really screw up my heart. Not sure if I can carry on watching these cliff-hanger, nail-biting and heart-suspending games! I love the W's though!

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 09:10 PM) Wow...it got quiet there REALLY fast. Silver lining: No ground gained or lost. s*** lining...we could have almost secured our division if we had hit tonight. For five minutes, my face was turning purple. I couldn't hardly breathe. Now I can exhale a load-off-my-chest relief. PHEEW!!!!!!!

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 09:37 AM) OK, AJ Burnett has lost his last 6 games, and has been clubhouse cancer. Meanwhile, Contreras leads baseball in second-half wins, and BMac has been phenomenal. Boy, oh boy, sometimes the best deals are the ones you don't make. Thank God we did not make that trade!

QUOTE(That funky motion @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 08:47 PM) Ive been thinking about that all game! he would love to tick it to us and Ozzie! Remember we are very good in close games. Keep the faith!
