It's a tactic I'm scared is approaching. Damn you alcohol, for being the end of my metabomalism.

great thread caulfield! I hope we don't have to really think about this stuff for another month, though. We'll see. Question, should beckham come up, people see him as a #2? And there doesn't seem to be a leadoff hitter in our system. So unless we get Furcal, we are looking for a short term leadoff hitter, but eventually we'll need to find that long term guy we haven't had since Ray ray.

The only players I don't like is OCabrera and Vazquez. I like any player that is giving his all for the sox. As long as you show me the effort I'm not gonna hate on you, just because the skill might not be there. f***, I love Griffey, always have. Sucks he strikes out so much but it's such a thrill for me to see him in a sox uniform. It's that type of stuff in baseball that goes beyond the numbers. I can't believe you hate Konerko, guys been a class act on the southside, and the face of the franchise.

Didn't help matters much that I was flanked by my Rays fan wife and byddy who both had the cowbells going in my ears. As bad as these last two losses were for y'all to see on teevee a home, trust me, they were much worse suffering through them live. I bet. Cool that you went, though.

and, conversely, the baggier the shirt, the more awkward they are. Never fails.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Oct 4, 2008 -> 11:28 PM) not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but about 70,000,000 people watched that debate. http://www.thrfeed.com/2008/10/vp-debate-ratin.html Goodness!

I don't find tighter jeans uncomfortable. I hate s*** flailing out like a windsail.

Hmm... I don't get to many sox games, went to a bunch in 05. Saw JD's walkoff v. the angels the day after? Timo had that single for the walk-off. I remember one half-price monday game against the indians. We were up 8-0, they went up 9-8, we then tied it. Then in extras, Jose Valentin hit a walk-off home run. That was fun. I've seen a bunch of Crede walk-offs. One was a grand slam v. the tigers. The games I saw in 07 were BRUTAL. Saw a CQ homerun v. I think the Angels this year. It was a good game.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Oct 4, 2008 -> 04:19 PM) But, I bet you and I know I certainly do give it our best effort to cheer the Sox on hell yeah man, my house during a sox game is rockin. We don't get much, though. That's why I love the playoffs, I finally get to watch the games!

CAN we PLEAAAAAAAASE, if we are losing on sunday, just have CQ go up and stand there so I can give him a standing ovation that I never got to give him.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Oct 4, 2008 -> 02:34 AM) You must of forgot the thundersticks we had in 05 in the DS. The proliferation of our tsticks ain't no where near the old men with cowbells. Plus I don't remember a thunderstick when i went to the CS

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Oct 4, 2008 -> 02:28 AM) Watching Tampa and Minnesota play against us make me realize how bad this team needs alittle bit of speed. Granite we have a homerun hitting ballpark, but to succeed in the post season, it is almost impossible to win with out it, esspecially on the road. I think the 2005 team had a perfect blend of power and speed. I have no doubt in my mind that we cant win games 3 and 4. But i have no doubt in my mind we'll lose game 5 if it comes to that. Orland Hudson would be a perfect 2 hole hitter. But this team really needs a true leadoff hitter. A guy who can steal 50-60 bases and a decent OBP. I mean this is true. But BOY we look so much better when CQ walks up after OC and swish.

I can't wait to see us in Chicago again. I really hope the Sox give you guys somethin to cheer for. Watching on the TV isn't too fun, I've found after our 2 playoff runs.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Oct 4, 2008 -> 02:26 AM) Yeah, that's all he does. He hit what, .245? I never said he doesn't get on base for us- that would be the reason I'd want to keep him actually, if his AVG wasn't so bad. So yeah, he isn't a good hitter. Probably 75% of Adam Dunn's hits were extra base hits, does that make him a good hitter? Don't think so. Ryan howard hit .230...does that make him a good hitter. I don't think so. oh wait.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Oct 4, 2008 -> 02:25 AM) thing I'd be worried about with Lincecum is him breaking down. Guys with his frame that throw that hard usually have problems at some point. But he is young so maybe he'll fill out some. that ESPN article on him had me believin though.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Oct 4, 2008 -> 02:24 AM) Are we really ripping on the rays for their attendance. How very cublike of you. I don't really give a s***, obviously they come for the playoffs. But those cowbells are stupid as hell. Use your hands and mouth like the rest of us. I have a great Idea brooks, "Air Horn" day, we pass out air horns to the first 40,000 in attendence!

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 4, 2008 -> 02:22 AM) That team was also better than everyone else in the playoffs. This year, I don't know if there's a single team we're better than (without Quentin/Crede/Contreras). Take Dye/crede/contreras off of 05 and the same s***.

Right, There's still a play to be made afterward. Congrats. I said that already. Doesn't excuse the s*** call.

I think some of you guys forget how HOT we got in 05. I remember thinking during the playoffs with the offense "who is this team" We were hitting opposite field hits, opportunistic as hell, it was fun. BUt it's not like we were constantly like that all year.

QUOTE (Sox It To Em @ Oct 4, 2008 -> 02:17 AM) Bucknor gave them a pitch. They gave us a baserunner. It's what these things lead to. That's the point. They create new opportunities that shouldn't be there.

QUOTE (Sox It To Em @ Oct 4, 2008 -> 02:14 AM) Um, no. Apparently you missed the point. No, you don't understand logic games so sit down.

GREAT AB!!!

Just sit down THome and think abotu what you've done.

QUOTE (Sox It To Em @ Oct 4, 2008 -> 02:12 AM) Because Bucknor made Buerhle throw the meatball, right? because the 1b umpire could've made PK hit a homer right?

PK SHOWS WHY He's GGRRRRREAT!
