QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 08:37 PM) I know you weren't talking to me, I was just sticking up for him because there's a lot of us that don't think he's a good manager. Does that make us a bad Sox fan? I sure hope not. AJP f***ed up big time that inning. The question is, should he have been up in that situation to even screw up? Also, why is he even batting in the 3rd spot? This is my last response to this unfortunate distraction. Many times I did not agree with Ozzie's strategy. Sometimes, he even showed his rookie coaching ability. With that being said, none of us have the right to call our team's manager stupid. It's just not right! If all of you do not agree with my way of thinking, it doesn't matter to me. I still stand with my belief! Give Ozzie some respect. He is our team's manager, and our players truly believe in him. Let's go and bring this game home with a W!

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 08:31 PM) Wow, calm down. Just because we don't think our manager is very good, it doesn't mean we're not a Sox fan. I was not pointing at you. If he can not see it were AJ and Dye that f***ed up that inning, why bother watching the game! Stop calling others stupid when all of us know Ozzie has MUCH MORE KNOWLEDGE about this game than anyone on this board will ever have! It is so f***ing easy sitting behind a computer and type your ****!

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 08:28 PM) Ozzie is stupid. Pretty simple explanation. If you think Ozzie is stupid, why don't you stop watching this game and go f***ing coach a little league team! STFU!

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 08:23 PM) Shut up. Leave. I second you! Such a goddamn whiner!

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 02:01 PM) They're bringing Guillen back for the last week of the season? If true, that's pretty stupid of them to risk injury. Ruin the White Sox's chance to get in the postseason worths it though!

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 12:31 PM) 94-61 CWS: 4@DET, 3@CLE 92-64 CLE: 3vTBD,3vCWS 91-64 BOS: 4vTBJ,3vNYY 91-64 NYY: 4@BAL,3@BOS 85-70 OAK: 4vLAA,3@SEA 89-66 LAA: 4@OAK,3@TEX tie WC: 2 more wins. win WC: 3 more wins. win ALC: 4 more wins. win ALHF: 5 more wins. If we win 4 straight games against the Tigers but lose 3 consecutive games to the Indians while the Indians win all of its 6 remaining games, the White Sox and the Indians will have the same record. If this situation unfortunately occurs, do we win the division by a tiebreaker rule, or do we have to play a one-game playoff series with the Indians to determine the winner of ALC?

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 11:15 AM) I know where I stand, the Sox still have to take care of business and until they do, I'll be rooting for White Sox wins. Cleveland, Boston, and the Yanks losing will be icing on the cake every day. Should we clinch the division after this Thursday, would we go in and sweep the Indians out of the playoff to face Boston/NY, or leave them in so that we can play against the Angels in the first round? I guess my question is what team do you think we would play better in the postseason - Angels or Red Sox/Yankees? It's a tough call, isn't it?

I think Mike Bauman was talking about you Moronotti!

QUOTE(Steff @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 09:11 AM) I'll be there.. Let's wrap up this season at home with a winner guys!!! Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the game nor watch it! Prior engagement with my wife and the kids to see an Orchid Show will not allow me. However, I will certainly tune in the car radio to catch up with the score. Bring home the W Buehrle.

Whether anyone like Konerko or not, he is one hell of a first baseman. Tell me another first baseman who is better than Paul in next year market. Losing Konerko will hurt us a lot. Bring him back! However, if we somehow can trade for Overbay, then I don't mind losing Konerko at all. The Chicago White Sox will be in the playoff again next year. You know why? Starting Pitchers: Contreras, Buehrle, Garland, Garcia and McCarthy. That is one awesome lineup to hit against. If we add another good DH bat, we will be wonderful!

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 24, 2005 -> 07:56 AM) Well, at least this guarantees Everett won't be back next year. I'm proud of Ozzie for doing the right thing in this case. Of course, he'll probably be in the lineup tonight, which he should be. Everett has been amazing vs Mays in his career. Fathom: It doesn't happen often, but I TOTALLY agree with you in this. Ozie is the manager; Everett is one of the players. Keep your mouth shut and play! Everett needs to be in the lineup though. We can't lose a bat like Everett in this crucial stretch of the season. Win these last two games with the Twins and the four games against the Tigers next week, we will make the postseason, either as divisional leader or wildcard.

I don't care what people say. If we make the postseason, I want Contreras to start game one. Period!

QUOTE(Wanne @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 01:02 PM) I know this was probably hashed and rehashed....and second guessing has become second nature...but I just sat there all night wondering why. If Ozzie replaced Dye with AJ, and AJ popped up, you guys would demand Ozzie's head! Hindsight is always BS!

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 10:26 PM) I'll tell you fathom, publicly, right here and right now. Every time you bash this team, and say they are not going to make the playoffs, you turn around and say "please don't question how much I root for the Sox". f*** that. You know, if you did, you'd say something positive once in a while. 95% of your posts are about what is wrong... but we're supposed to believe that you're all Sox, all the time? I have trouble with that, and I know others do, which is what gets us into these conversations. I *WILL* question you based on your history here. Sorry, but that's the truth, and I'm just calling it as I see it. That is what's wrong with so many peoples on this board. Whine, b****, moan, groan. That's all you hear coming out of their mouth! Why can't you negative minds at least support this team when we are so close to the postseason. I know what's in your mind, "So close but yet so far!" At least the White Sox have the opportunity this year to control their destiny, which they didn't have at all eversince 2000. I was very much down after tonight game. What hurt me the most is Santana did not beat us today. We had several chances to win this game, especially the Bases Loaded With 1 Out situation, and we can't even bring one run in! Regardless of the outcome, it has been such a fun ride for me this year though.

QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 10:20 PM) Just wanted to say f*** YOU to KW for not getting us reinforcements during the deadlines. You once again fail to reach the post season. What a disaster this season has turned out to be. Do you guys think Cleveland will lose 1 game vs KC? I think not. Can we win 3 in a row vs Minny? I think not. 2 if we are lucky. We will either be up .5 after this series, or down .5 after this series. Hell i dont think Cleveland will lose any more this season. And Hell i don't think we will win AT ALL the rest of the season. Up 15 games at August 1st down to 1.5 games at September 22nd. puke: Before f***ing KW, do you really want to lose BMAC for a good hitter? Do you really think that adding that hitter will take the White Sox to a WS? I am very much as frustrated and disappointed as anyone else on this board. Perhaps, it's not meant to be! Don't give up yet! 10 games left with 1.5 games up on the Indians and 3 on Boston. At this point in time, I just want the White Sox to make the postseason to get rid of that "choked" label. Once they are in, with the way they are playing right now, they will be eliminated 1 round! That's the sad fact!

Well guys, I have now resigned to our fate. We are heading nowhere! No closer! No clutch hitting! It's kind of sad to literally taste the postseason on this side of the line, but unfortunately we will be watching other teams cross to the other side of the line, while we once again are stuck on this side for another year. And it's so tough to bear the pain!!! Bases Loaded-1 Out-Dye f***ed it up!

If we lose the pennat race, please don't blame Ozzie. You all just saw what happened. It's pathetic! We are in a tight situation with the Indians, and we had such a golden opportunity to win the NEEDED game. Bases loaded with only 1 out, and we can not get anyone in. Pathetic Dye! I guess instead of WIN, he died!

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 12:28 PM) You didn't sleep good? I slept great. My wife was asleep by the time the game ended, but knew the outcome by my mood this morning. My wife was already aslept with the kids. For me, I was just too excited to sleep well. I finally woke up around 4:00AM to get myself ready for another heart-rate-is-out-of-whack game. Can't wait!

Guys, I can't control my sanity and excitement anymore! I'm beginning to sweat profusely while clinging to the sides of my head. I'm trembling violently. My voice is changing slowly into low guttural growls! I'm growling! I'm howling! My hair is growing out! My fingernails are getting longer and sharper! And I'm in pain of anticipation! Tonight is full moon, isn't it? LET'S GET READY FOR THE ONSLAUGHT! RIP THOSE INDIANS APART!!!

QUOTE(bighurt2719 @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 08:56 AM) if you arent a sox fan why are you here You might as well put it in green. Otherwise, ........ Best of luck to ya!

After the terrific and heart-suspending game last night, I did not have a nice sleep at all. I only slept for 4 hours but woke up to a much better morning than Tuesday. And the coffee really tastes delicious this morning. Now I am ready to rumble... WIN TONIGHT GAME AND THE DIVISION IS OURS LET'S TRAMPEDE THE INDIANS!!!

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 01:57 AM) Tomorrow would be a great day to give Everett a rest, DH Konerko, and put Gload at 1b. No, from here on out, all of regular starting players are going to be in the lineup, at least until we clinch.
