QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Sep 7, 2005 -> 03:55 PM) Olivo is doing very well withthe Padres though isnt he? And Reed's season isnt that bad considering he is a rookie and everything..... Although im happy with Freddy G ill say that. Yes and good for big MO, I hope he keeps it up, I wish him nothing but the best. As for Reed, he's been bad offensively this year but it's his first year so I definitely wouldn't give up on him yet. That being said, that deal was an absolute steal.

QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ Sep 7, 2005 -> 03:24 PM) Big crowds. Last 5 wins at home were small crowds IMO. Every game should be sold out this season based on their record. So get your ass out to more games.

QUOTE(SnB @ Sep 7, 2005 -> 03:09 PM) i'm on my way to become the most useless poster to make it to 10,000. Until I get there.

QUOTE(SnB @ Sep 7, 2005 -> 12:17 PM) I'm honestly believing that our postseason results will all go by how paulie performs. If he's on (like he has been lately), our team actually has a threat in the lineup. If his swing is off, like we know it can be, the lineup is brutal. It'll be an interesting october. It's been on the whole 2nd half, so hopefully that'll continue. Another guy that completely changes this lineup is Juan Uribe, if he's hot he can hit any pitcher on any team.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Sep 7, 2005 -> 08:47 AM) Thanks a lot. I think most overrate our players, especially prospects, a lot. No, people give up on our prospects way to damn quick. Bmac had 5 starts, 3 of which sucked and 2 of which were fine and people were ready to give up on him, kind of ridiculous. Anyways, I bashed the hell out of Paul in the first half, he's been absolutely fantastic the 2nd half of the season, I'm eating crow all day long because of his performance. I went from not wanting him back no matter what to definitely wanting him back next season, hopefully just at a good price.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 11:41 PM) Um, ok? You have to give Jenks his chances. He has an electric arm, and a nasty curve to go with it. I'd much rather see him in a 5-0 game and a chance to learn from his mistakes against the best hitting team in MLB - AND still come out with a W then have Shingo go in there and give up the same amount of runs and not be here next year. He was being sarcastic Kap. ADMIN CAN'T EVEN READ.

That's to bad. Hopefully he'll bounce back and have another year like this next season.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 10:23 PM) No, the beer definately tastes better in the midst of a winning streak. Just ask Ozzie.

With this win the Sox move to 41.5 games ahead of the Royals.

QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 09:04 PM) Detroit's elimination number is 3 now. You people are absolutely sick, I can't believe this thread. I love it.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 09:30 PM) One thing: I'd rather win with 15K than lose with 30K. Of course...who wouldn't?? Ok there is an obvious answer to that question.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 09:27 PM) We've had great attendance numbers lately, so that would be foolish if someone started another thread about it. I'm simply saying that I can't believe the crowd was so small, and I've never seen Hawk so upset about the attendance. This series is just at a bad time. It's a weeknight series against the Royals when everyone just went back to school.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 09:02 PM) and i saw the replay of that ball and Floyd should've caught it. It was right to him. Cabrera absolutely smoked that ball. Anyways, good luck Shingo I really want you to succeed.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 09:24 PM) BTW, in the postgame show, Hawk said the attendance tonight was very disappointing. I smell an attendance thread. YIPPIE

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 09:21 PM) If Marte ISNT moved in some sort of package this off-season, I will be very, very suprised. I beleive Williams, along with Ozzie, is fed up with Damaso. EDIT:ISNT! Ya know you'd think so but the way Damaso is used in more crucial situations then Neal leads me to believe ozzie trusts the guy for whatever reason. Anyways, I don't want to complain, 16

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 04:47 PM) If Owens hits .330 or above in a stint of 200+ ABs in the major leagues, I'll eat my shoe. Webcam?

CONGRATS to the Pierzynski family :cheers

QUOTE(Brian @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 04:14 PM) That's what I meant. I'm sure Warren will destroy Stevenson AGAIN this year and Rowand will go hide in Carbondale dorm with a pizza from Quatros and 5 pack of Natural Light. If we lose my excuse is that I wasn't there to cheer them on.

QUOTE(Brian @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 04:08 PM) When you pay off the officials, anything is possible.

QUOTE(Brian @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 04:04 PM) Anyplace south of Libertyville sucks. Still sour about that playoff game last year..eh?

QUOTE(Steff @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 03:43 PM) You mean your parents win. Pssh, I contribute. Ok, I don't at all.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 03:26 PM) DUPAGE COUNTY...YESSSSS My county is richer then yours Brian and I win, Lake county it is.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 03:18 PM) Pods, LF Iguchi, 2B Everett, DH PK, 1B Rowand, CF Dye, RF Uribe, SS Widger, C Ozuna, 3B El Duque, RHP Aj maybe getting a few days off cause of the wife?

QUOTE(YASNY @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 03:02 PM) I think it's finally "clicked" for Contreras. If so, then his head won't get in the way of him using his great stuff. No walks in his last 3 starts, that's just simply incredible for Jose. What was his era in August? It was around the low 1's but as impressive as that is, that no walks in 3 starts is the most impressive stat to me.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 02:50 PM) I expressed some hesitation in giving the ball to McCarthy vs. Hernandez is an earlier post. The more I think about it, the less hesitation I have. Having said that, at this point in time I'd go with Contreras as the number 4 starter in the playoffs. No doubt, if Jose pitches half as well as he did in August he should be our number 4 guy in the playoffs.
