QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 05:10 PM) Bring it on YTown! -Your flame is about to be burned out!! I was away for 5 hours, and someone already beat me to my tomorrow game thread. I got you a win today, didn't I? Anyway, here it goes: Garcia vs. Millwood Monday, 09/19/05 7:05PM CT Let's whip those Indians. And WHIP THEM GOOD!!!

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 09:19 AM) I agree completely. Today we're facing a pitcher we haven't seen which means total shutdown for the offense. Other external peoples expecting us to collapse is one thing, but to see our very own fans having no faith in our team during this critical stretch of a pennant race is just unbelievably ABSURD! If you guys expect the Sox to lose the rest of the way, don't bother to watch the remaining games AND don't bother to spread your contagious, weak and inferior feelings to others who still have belief in our team. Heck, that's the only thing we have right now. Buckle up, stand up and get ourselves ready for a very ROUGH ride, good or bad.

QUOTE(beck72 @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 07:36 AM) Time for the bats to break out vs. Mr Lohse. Time to say goodbye to Johan Santana 'til '06 Time for the Twins fans to eat crow about the sox "collapse" Time for the sox to start believing in themselves. Just win baby! I thought we have to face the Twins and Santana again? I believe we have four more games with them at the Cell.

Can't sleep, can you Beck? Same here. Great post! I still have the faith in our beloved White Sox. No matter what happens at the end, I'm going up or down with them. Should we take care of the Indians in the 6 remaining games we have with them like the four games we swept them after the Allstar game, we will be fine! Destiny, good or bad, is in our hands. And THE HELL WITH THE EXTERNAL MEDIA AND ALL. Noone gave a s*** about our team before the season started. Everyone outside of the White Sox Pride is now pulling for us to choke then collapse, especially that Brantley guy. Guess what? The 2005 Chicago White Sox will make the playoff. Period!

All right, this is my first ever game thread. We will win this game and head back home to whip the Indians. We're going to eat the whole Twinkies today!!! Yum... Yum...

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 01:05 AM) Well, there's a big shocker. They all are wishing the Sox are going to collapse. They can laugh at us now. Let's see who will have the last one?

QUOTE(hi8is @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 04:00 PM) tonight, if the cheifs loose, what is the magic number at? 11

QUOTE(S720 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 02:30 PM) It's not the matter that we lost the game that REALLY upsets. It's the gutless, spiritless performance that we are showing that DAMN ticks me off. Last night, bases loaded no outs no score. Today, dejavu again! What the hell is going on with this team??? This team has lost all of its gut and spirit, I'm sorry to say! This is the first time that I suddenly realize that we might not make the playoff ONCE AGAIN guys, and the feelings is really hurtful right now!!! I HAVE TO LET THIS OUT: HOW CAN YOU F*%#^#G HAVE THREE STRIKEOUTS IN A ROW WHEN THE BASES ARE LOADED? PATHETIC!!!

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 01:05 PM) Absolutely. Not only would it be nice to have a big enough lead that if we get swept, we're still in the lead. But also, it would be nice to have a big enough lead that if we win 2 out of 3 vs Cleveland, we can be in the driver's seat again. Good stuff today Don't jinx us man. We will win tomorrow game and head home with 4 1/2 games lead. How come I don't feel the almost-dead frustration on this board today even if we lose the game? Remember we only need one of the Indians or Yankees to lose tonight. Both lost would be caviar.

Man, BMAC has looked good so far. One thing is for sure. BMAC HAS to be on our 2006 starter rotation. Very happy that KW hanged onto him.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 12:52 PM) So out of Buehrle, Garland, Contreras, and Garcia, which pitcher do you pull out of the 4 man rotation that we'll probably use in the playoffs to insert McCarthy? Damn Balta, why do you have to ask me that question? Let's just assume that Buehrle and/or one of the four pitch terribly and BMAC pitches great until the end of the regular season, and that the White Sox still make the postseason, do you still start all four over BMAC?

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 12:45 PM) If McCarthy comes in and shuts down the Twins for 3 innings, Ozzie's going to have some amazing quotes to the press I have a feeling. Fathom: I agree with you. Sit Duque and let BMAC take his place. There is no way in the world I will start Duque in the playoff. Perhaps, BMAC can be Beckett version for the White Sox!

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 12:03 PM) Ever since Santana became incredible during the 2nd half of the year last season, he's just dominated us. And Santana is supposed to have a blister on his finger(s)! Man, the Twins are trying to kick the Sox out of the postseason. Well, let's see if they succeed, or we have the last laugh.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 11:21 AM) Duque gives up a leadoff single to the weak hitting Jason Tyner. Well, if Duque messes up this game, McCarthy time!

Damn, two K's in a row to start off the game by Santana!

QUOTE(beck72 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 07:16 AM) should this have been in Green? I'm taking a more conservative way. With the way the Sox have been playing lately, I am not sure if they can play .600 ball the rest of the way.

QUOTE(beck72 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 05:02 AM) The sox haven't been playing good ball lately. No one is denying this. Yet besides the Indians, no one else is lighting it up either this month. Here are the records this month for the playoff contenders: Cle--11-3 NYY 9-5 Sox 9-6 Bos 9-7 LAA 8-7 Oak 6-9 As far as worrying about Cle? If the sox keep up their pace of .600 ball, the sox could go 9-7 the rest of the season. That'll give them a 98-64 record. For Cle. to just tie the sox, they'd have to go 13-2. That's a tough thing to do. But hats off to them if they could pull it off. Also, the NYY's would have to go 14-2 to tie the sox for the wild card. The AL pennant is up for grabs this year. All the sox need is a ticket to the playoff party to have a chance at the world series. Since the sox won't have to play Cle the first round, they'll likely face another team that has been playing .600 ball like themselves. Go Sox! Stay healthy! Well, if the Sox play .500 ball, then the Indians would have to go 12-3 to tie the Sox and the Yankees 13-3. Thanks Beck. I feel much better now. Life is much easier to breathe...

QUOTE(soxman352000 @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 10:03 PM) Way to go Jenks LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, YOU JUST WITNESSED CHICAGO WHITE SOX'S PRESENT AND FUTURE CLOSER!!! YYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

QUOTE(S720 @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 09:59 PM) AND THAT'S THE WHITESOX WINNER!!! YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH

AND THAT'S THE WHITESOX WINNER!!!

QUOTE(S720 @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 09:53 PM) That's a shame! Bases loaded no out and can't even get a run across!!!

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 09:53 PM) GOD f***ING DAMN IT SON OF A f***ING b****!!! That's a shame!

QUOTE(S720 @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 09:48 PM) A walk-in run right now, and have Iguchi take a whack at it! Man, Pods is really bad right now!
