This is why none of us are gm's, the tendency to overreact to one game. I'd love to have Overbay and I'm sure Kenny's looking but he's not going to go nuts now because of tonight.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 09:53 PM) Overbay will cost us more than A. Huff would, I guarantee that. Huff is a FA after this season, and Overbay still has a few more years before he's a FA. Also, Overbay has turned into a fan favorite in Milwaukee. If we do trade for Milwaukee, can we get their announcing crew also? Those guys are great. Huff's not a free agent at the end of the season.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 09:45 PM) I'll actually agree with you on this. I'll take being 30 over .500 right now. It does matter, as the record is the only thing that counts during the regular season. One game isn't going to bring that record down to .500. And I don't want the Sox to acquire Overbay at all! He's extremely slow, and is no guarantee to handle the stress down the stretch. He had been struggling pretty bad recently, I believe. I like Overbay and I think he'd be a great addition. It's so frusterating though when there is so much overreacting to one stinkin game. We're 10 and 0 against them coming into today, unfortunately a game like this was bound to happen.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 09:43 PM) He would of been sent down if it wasnt for Credes back. That is well documented. But hey maybe we can start him in front of Gooch. I think he is a difference maker. Have you missed the 2-3 times he's said Willie's been bad this year. The point is every single a game there's a scapegoat. Willie was bad tonight so were a ton of other players.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 09:41 PM) That we are 30 games over .500. It doesn't mean s*** at the moment. Tonight we played like a team 30 games under. Why? Because Ozzie put in all the s***ty players on the universe! "No, it doesnt make my points moot because if your going to tell me that just because we are 30 games up this team doesnt need improvement? BS. Overpay for Overbay." You know what, I hate to be like this but to be honest you have no f***in clue what you're talking about.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 09:33 PM) STOP BRINGING THAT UP! See, Willie just blew another play!!!!!!! Stop bringing what up?

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 09:29 PM) I don't doubt this. I wonder, has Freddy pitched with the crappy line-up this year? Someone else can look that up if they want but he played with Crede as his shortstop and widger as his 3rd baseman. I know it was cause of injuries but it's not like Freddy hasn't had to work around poor defensive lineups before.....

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 09:26 PM) And if this was Garcia the A team would of been starting Let me guess, cause he's latin, right?

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 09:26 PM) I dont f***ing know. If you defend Ozzie for putting out a s***tyy lineup and an even more horrible defenseive infield.......you = dumbass. Think it through. Now, I know tomorrow, everyone, cough kalapse cough, will be throwing it in my face that I conceded the season yadda yadda yadda. Bulls***! This is unacceptable! I find it hilarious how you overreact to every game, very laughable.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 09:19 PM) Nope....he's a product of just a ridiculously pathetic lineup by our manager tonight. What the f*** was Ozzie trying to accomplish tonight by benching 3 players? Maybe he read the thread about starting Willie??

This got ugly, quickly.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 09:13 PM) TIMO. ?

Yeesh, could Timo get any unluckier today?

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 08:57 PM) Fair enough...just the same way I find it hard to believe you'd ever say one negative thing about anything involving the Sox. We've agreed to disagree in the past, and this is just another scenario. Look no further to Saturday's game, I said the offense was real bad and that they had pitches to hit. Today Lima's just awesome.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 08:53 PM) I disagree that he's been awesome. Lima has poor control tonight, and is getting bailed out by the Sox B squad. Lima is making Wade Miller looks like he had amazing stuff. Even Timo came within a few feet of hitting a 3 run homer against Lima tonight. We've had chances to score some runs, but our players don't seem to be focused at all. To be honest I find it hard to believe you'd give an opposing pitcher credit. The movement on Lima's pitches tonight is just nasty.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 08:50 PM) Tell that to our manager. You said you'd give the pitcher credit if you thought he deserved it. Lima has been absolutely awesome tonight, how about giving the pitcher some credit?

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 08:44 PM) The day Willie Harris is removed from the roster, I am going to have a party. Everyone here invited?

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 08:41 PM) MB should be picking these guys off. What the hell. Get your good move on MB!!!! The Royals are just guessing right, that's really the only way you'll steal off Mark.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 08:40 PM) He looked awful there. That was... bad. Really bad. Yes it was, I swear he has to have that play running through his head, he seems to back it down a lot now, that play from yesterday and today seemed like he was very cautious.

Anyone else think Willie has last years collision go through his head everytime there's a little pop up like that?

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 08:35 PM) I hate Mike Sweeney. He might be a nice guy and all, but I f***ing hate him. There aren't many hitters in baseball I respect as much as Mike Sweeney but goddamn I hate that guy when we play them.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 08:34 PM) If that scout for the Giants is here looking at him, among others, I would rather he came yesterday. He was there yesterday.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 08:26 PM) They just showed the Giants top scout, Ted Uehlander, sitting there in the front row of the Sox KC game. Harrelson mentioned he talked to him during the rain delay and specifically mentioned the Giants are a team rumored to be in discussions with the White Sox (duh). But it is a bit unusual for Harrelson to comment specifically on a rumor by naming a particular team. He also said Uehlander has been watching the Sox minor leaguers too. Can you post that in the game thread. Someone asked me to give a description of what Hawk said and my description sucked.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 08:26 PM) I thought PK owned Lima? (Yes, I know the stats. Don't bring them up, I'm just pointing out that he's looked bad twice today against Lima.) Lima's a different pitcher today.

AJ just looks so damn good as of late.
