QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 10:21 PM) The loss last year where Valentin dropped the foul ball against the Twins when the standings were much closer was a harder loss to take for me. Credit goes to Hawk, he didn't like the feel of the game all night. WHY is it that our starting pitching staff all of the sudden has been so DAMN TERRIBLE lately? Every single one of them! What is going on with them? They better wise up, wake up and start pitching like there's no tomorrow; otherwise, we will never see OUR postseason this year! GOT 9 RUNS AND STILL LOST TO THE LOWLY ROYALS!

We scored 9 RUNS, and with our number 2 starting pitcher against the LOWLY Royals, and we LOSE! How could this be? DAMN YOU GARCIA & HERMANSON!

HE GAWN! One down two to go.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 08:46 PM) There's the sac fly, now get this guy out and take a seat on the bench. I guess coming down the stretch, the offense has to carry the pitching. If it were not for our pitching, we could not have been leading our division right now. I guess our pitching staff is getting exhausted as we're heading to the end of the regular season. AND THAT IS WHY I WOULD LOVE TO SEE BMAC TO START FEW GAMES FOR US BEFORE REGULAR SEASON ENDS. PLEASE OZZIE!

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 07:58 PM) Your eBay! I know this is kind of late, but You really cracked me up with that one!

I don't believe in the notion that Garcia only pitches good games against good teams. Garcia flatout stinks right now. As a matter of fact, I don't have any trust in any of our starting pitchers right now. I don't know the reason, but it seems like our starting pitchers have run against a wall or something! And that's not one or two. It's all of them! Read carefully! Right Now as in This Game!

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 07:29 PM) Before he even threw a pitch, I wrote "somebody needs to tell Freddy this is the Yankees" on another board. There's no excuse for not caring at this point of the season. And yes, that's what it is. Freddy thinks he can just throw his uniform out there and the Royals will lay down in front of him. It's disgusting. I don't believe in the notion that Garcia only pitches good games against good teams. Garcia flatout stinks right now. As a matter of fact, I don't have any trust in any of our starting pitchers right now. I don't know the reason, but it seems like our starting pitchers have run against a wall or something! And that's not one or two. It's all of them! Against > a 6-ERA pitcher, and we can't even win the game. How the hell are we going to win against MUCH BETTER teams???

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 11:34 PM) I wanted Contreras out before Stairs batted that inning. However, once Ozzie decided to keep Contreras in, you let him finish his mess. Not only that, but if there was any batter Contreras should face that inning, it was the poor offspeed hitting Berroa. And if Ozzie let Contreras stay and the next batter got a hit, what would you have said Fathom? You know you are going to b**** anyway.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 11:30 PM) The most annoying response ever on a message board is when someone says "well, if you know so much, why aren't you a manager". The reason a lot of us can't be managers is that we didn't have the physical ability that someone like Ozzie did which allowed him to play baseball, and then coach when he was done. The reason we are pissed at you is of your flip flop. First you wanted Ozzie to take Contreras out, and when Ozzie did not, you b****ed. Then when Ozzie took Contreras out, you whined again! Make up your damn mind!

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 11:29 PM) Iguchi's defense continues to just deteriorate. Not saying he should have made the play, but Hawk seems to think he could have. Come on Fathom. Did you see that play? There's NO WAY noone can't make that play. Stop being so nitpicking!

What the HELL is going on with this team? THIS IS THE ROYALS, the WORST TEAM in the two leagues, that we are playing against! If we can't even hit against their pitchers, how the hell are we going to play against the top pitchers in the playoff??? Honestly, this is the first time that I truly feel a little bit of panics rising inside of me!

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Sep 10, 2005 -> 01:47 AM) He's allowed 5 runs or more in 8 of his last thirteen starts.... Name me another ACE you can say that about. /hat tip to knightni Should Contreras continue to pitch his domination way until October, let's start him in game one in the playoff. I'm beginning to see the cracks in Buerhle, Garcia and Garland's pitching, while Contreras's pitching has become stronger and stronger as we come near to the end of the regular season.

QUOTE(Ozzie Montana @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 10:51 PM) Whats the lead now? 7 or 8 What the heck is wrong with Everett? How the heck you wanted to hit that way down low ball? Man, it's just so PAINFUL to see our hitters hit right now!

QUOTE(That funky motion @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 08:29 PM) What the hell is wrong with Mark! Get in this game! If the playoff starts right now, I DEFINITELY will have Contreras as my starting pitcher for game one. I just don't have the faith on Buerhle, Garcia or Garland right now. And it's sad to have that feelings!

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Sep 7, 2005 -> 10:09 PM) IMO, The number one obstacle standing in the way of the Sox and their first trip to the World Series in 473240464604 years is Ozzie. This is the DUMBEST statement of the year! Without Ozzie, do you really think the White Sox would be PLAYING this good? Having the best record doesn't mean anything to you? Gosh, some of the peoples on this board are truly whiners!

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Sep 7, 2005 -> 09:43 PM) Once again Ozzie is bailed out of one his bullpen mistakes. Are you telling me that Ozzie was bailed out of all of the team's 87 wins? You guys really whined too much!!!

QUOTE(bighurt4444 @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 03:55 PM) Just in case Ozzie forgot, the everyday lineup should go something like this: 1. Podsednik 2. Iguchi 3. Everett 4. Konerko 5. Rowand 6. Dye 7. A.J. 8. Crede (when healthy) Blum now 9. Uribe This is the lineup that should be playing 6 out of 7 days a week in order to win this division. The lead is now at 6.5 games, not 16.5 games Oz. Just thought he might need a reminder of what this team looked like earlier this season. Get it together and get your starters back into 90% of the games! YOU CAN NOT PLAY THAT LINEUP EVERYDAY. They will break down by the end of the regular season. You have to sacrifice some games so that the regulars can have their rest. Stop criticize Ozzie. Let him do his job. For one thing, your knowledge is NOTHING compared to Ozzie's. Period!

QUOTE(Chifananthony @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 09:49 PM) I think everyone here would be back on the bandwagon. Why is it so terrible to criticize your teem when they have been underperforming, and to point out flaws in the team's game. It seems that once u do that u r no longer a fan. Thats how they treat people at WSI. Its hypocritical to attack flub fans when they think there team is going to the playoffs when they are 8 games out, but yet when a sox fan takes a realistic look at their playoff chances they are not true fans. It doesnt make sense. First of all, let me ask you this question. At the end of last year, did you foresee that the White Sox would be leading in the AL Central division right now? It's not that you criticize the team when they are underperforming that I TRULY want to kick you in your you know what. It's just that you focking whine when the Sox are still leading the division by 7 games. Outside of St. Louis' division, what team currently has the largest lead right now? For you to blame KW is just unbelievably STUPID on your part. Who do you think put together the team as it currently is? If you can't be thankful or grateful enough, get the hell out of this bandwagon AND STAY OFF!

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 02:54 PM) El Duque was left in too long. he should never of been in a position to give up 5 runs this inning. Too much trust out of the coaching staff It's not even Duque. It's all of our starting pitchers. All have pitched like hell lately! What the hell is going on with our starting pitchers? It seems like everyone of them has pitched horrendously after the AS break.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 08:05 AM) From the Southtown, so take it fwiw. I guess finally we will get to see how good Baj really is? Can't wait!

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 09:44 PM) That's why you keep Burly in. And if he got shelled, you're the first one to blame Ozzie.

QUOTE(fullcollapse @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 09:20 PM) dp #4, now thats what i'm talking about Man, watching Iguchi turning a double play is just a PLEASURE!

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 09:03 PM) OOOPS My bad! I thought wrong It's top 9th 13-3 Tampa. Tampa WILL win this game. Period!!!

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 09:00 PM) 12-3 Tampa. Safe to say that Tampa's probably going to win. What are you talking about "probably?" Tampa WILL win that game. Period!

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 08:56 PM) f*** YEAH JD Great Precision Throw. Wow JD!!!
