QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 11, 2006 -> 09:16 PM) It's too bad, the Bears magic number was ready to dwindle down even more. Yah. I don't think you'll have too much to worry about in that division though. Minny wasn't all that good, Skins just sucked ass on D bigtime. It was awful to watch.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 11, 2006 -> 09:14 PM) Washington lost? Unfortunately.

So yah, we better win tonight. As a Skins fan and Sox fan, the football game and the Twins game have crushed this night. Cmon Jose!

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 11, 2006 -> 09:09 PM) I was actually going to say that you were being good luck. What's your opinion on McCarthy? I know there's certain young guys you're not fans of, so I was wondering what you thought of him. Dissapointed. I am hoping that it is a bullpen thing. I desperately want to believe it because we'll need him next year in the rotation. He is flat out not good right now. Also dissapointed BA is slumping again, but that shouldn't be a huge surprise.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 11, 2006 -> 09:07 PM) s*** stops here guys, Just stop going back and forth already. Not going to happen tonight. Thank you. I came in trying to be civil. Fathom and I were having a good convo! And it appears as though I am good luck to boot!

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 11, 2006 -> 09:04 PM) Be careful, you'll scare off the good posters. I'm not exactly sure why you keep responding to my posts? Don't start nothing, and there won't be nothing.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 11, 2006 -> 09:01 PM) Is this a serious question? Sure why not? I'm feeling particularly pessimistic tonight.

So how is everybody gonna feel about not making the playoffs this year?

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 09:40 PM) I like him. I love Guillen. How a White Sox fan couldn't is baffling.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 10:05 PM) Because I'm living a life outside of Soxtalk. I only saw the ninth on Gameday (b/c I had no clue we were on WGN). Well thats too bad. You were a good poster in there. Kept things reasonable.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 10:00 PM) Way to ruin a good thread. Your act is lame. You are right. I'm sorry about that. Just really dissapointed about what happened to the game threads. No need to call out those posters like they call out our players. It's hypocritical. How come you don't come anymore?

Great job guys! It's a good thing Paulie and AJ didn't give up like some of our fans. THen again, since they are all quitters anyway, I guess it doesn't matter. HUGE WIN!!!!!!

Man our fans are awesome.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 07:48 PM) It means exactly what I said. If it literally meant they quit, then that would mean they "to cease normal, expected, or necessary action". It's just like when we discussed choking last season. I think every person in this thread knows exactly what the term quit means in regards to sports. I think everybody knows that when you say quit, you mean they have given up. No need to try to spin it any other way. You've said as much at other times, no need to try and spin it. If you are gonna say it every other post, at least stand by it.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 07:45 PM) Comment? I didn't know I was instant messaging with a 16 year old girl. So quit doesn't ACTUALLY mean quit now huh?

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 07:43 PM) The term "quitting" in baseball is similar to "choking". Obviously, they're not literally doing one or the other. However, when a team looks lazy on the field, shows no urgency on or off the field, and things go bad, then the term quitting is thrown around. LOLOLOLOLOL

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 07:42 PM) I never said they quit. Our offense is bad though. The Tampa Bay Devil Rays\Royals\Pirates would of put up at least a 4 spot on Julian last night, and this kid tonight would of been rocked. This thread was about the team quitting. Why would you put something in the thread that wasn't about that discussion? Hmmm, I wonder....

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 07:38 PM) They're just playing bad baseball right now, they'll pick it up soon, all they need is for Podsednik to go on a tear which he will afterall he was the MVP of the World champs last year. This team is still 20 or so games over .500 and still has not hit their stride, just wait until they start playing their best baseball LOOK OUT AMERICAN LEAGUE!!!!!11111111 What does that have to do with the team quitting. It doesn't take a genius to tell that they aren't playing right now, but it seems I've stepped into bizarro world where playing like crap means they've quit.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 07:39 PM) If you quit on the team now, Allah wont let you enjoy the fruits of championship glory. There is nothing wrong with the offense. We have the best record in .... ah Chicago.. I don't think anybody would dispute that there is something wrong with the offense right now. That doens't mean they quit. WHat kind of deduction is that?

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 07:35 PM) Thanks for the personal attack. You've really been missed. Do you really think this is an awful post? You really don't think this team has quit? Of course they haven't quit. Are you really serious? Why would this team quit? I mean, I can't believe what I'm reading around here. But I shouldn't be surprised. It was the same type of stuff going down the stretch last year, led by you.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 07:34 PM) Awful=contrary to your opinion, it seems. That's all anything on this board is. Opinion. Despite the fact that there is no evidence that anybody on this team has quit. The one guy people would pen that on went out and shut them down tonight. Just because you are playing like s*** doesn't mean you aren't trying.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 07:29 PM) Thanks for the quality post. I feel honored that you only seem to respond to me now. Nobody seems to have so many awful posts as you, so yes, I would say you have a special distinction. Though the guy with the ridiculous post on Paul is trying for that distinction.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 07:27 PM) I see absolutely no hustle by our core players, no urgency by our coaching staff, and just no enthusiasm by anyone on or off the field. It's sad that the only people who are hustling are Ozuna, Gload, Mackowiak, Sweeney, and Sandy. Someone might want to tell guys like Crede, Dye, and PK that the season isn't over at the end of August. The good news is that I have absolutely zero confidence that Guillen can turn this ship around. Not only have the quit, they are trying their hardeest to piss off the fans on this board. Not for any particular reason either. Just for the hell of it.

QUOTE(Jenksismyb**** @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 06:56 PM) Paul Konerko. He can hit into a double play with the best of them. Now 5th in all of the majors with 22. I'm willing to bet if you analyzed them, they were all at critical points in a game where we had a great chance to either take a big lead or put a game away. Once my favorite player, I'd like to say you are worth every penny that the Sox are wasting...err...spending on you. Yah, that .347 he hits with RISP is just terrible. I just can't believe some of the stuff I'm reading around here.
