QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Sep 6, 2011 -> 03:05 PM) Yes it is. Regardless of where we are in the standing right now it is a good thing to think positive. Too many ups and downs in this game to always be thinking the worse. I will settle for them going downm fighting anyway. You play to win and Pierre is doing a good job. Probably won't be back next year but that remains to be seen I guess. So why are Dunn and Rios playing? Better question...Why am I bothering with this argument?

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Sep 6, 2011 -> 03:59 PM) Have you given up? Is that a serious question?

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Sep 6, 2011 -> 03:56 PM) Also need a utility IF younger than me Already have one of those.

QUOTE (Fantl916 @ Sep 6, 2011 -> 03:34 PM) My question for those who want Sale to start is who's sits/is traded? If I were the gm, Humber and Danks(assuming John doesn't sign an extension, if he does switch him and Gavin here) would be traded and Mark would be re-signed. Buehrle Floyd Peavy Stewart Sale But I am not the gm and that's not going to happen but if I had my way, that's what our rotation would be going into next season.

Just watch boys and girls, Ozzie and Kenny are both going to be back. We're about to go through a worst nightmare type of scenario.

Apollo 18 was horrendous.

Stewart, no doubt in my mind.

QUOTE (SnB @ Sep 6, 2011 -> 09:16 AM) I am eagerly anticipating this story. You can check my facebook, look at the picture of my bar tab that my buddy posted. And that was within like a 2 hr span when we had been drinking all day before that and 3 of us already finished 2 cases of bud light. I'll post details when I get off work and have a little more time.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Sep 5, 2011 -> 02:28 PM) Yeah, right You don't understand...

I really think both of them will be back. I hope like hell I'm wrong but I don't think I will be.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Sep 5, 2011 -> 11:28 AM) That was then and this is now type thing. That's baseball don't you agree? You're hilarious.

Last night was by far the most embarrassing night of my life. I might stop drinking for a while, my god...

Boise-UGA was the coolest uniform game of all time.

CARBONNNNNNNDAAAAALLLLLLEEEEE

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 31, 2011 -> 11:09 PM) I like Ozzie. In my mind he was a good shortstop and a fun player to follow. I wouldn't call him an overrated fielder either. He was a good fielder. People on this board act like he hit like Mark Belanger and fielded like Bee Bee Richard. He was a good player. Our 05 team won in spite of him ... sure it did. Bulls***. He led us to the city's only WS title in about 80 years. I think his quotes are funny. And he's young. He's learned a lot here. It ain't really his fault he can't work with KW. The two are like oil and water. Those are facts. I hope they both get canned, not just one. Because of that they deserve to get axed. Jerry should have yelled at them both last year and said if they didn't grow up and work together and meet once a week in a civil setting they were GONE. But Oz WAS a good player and IS a good manager ... IMO. I don't even know why I bother to respond to you because you're so blinded when it comes to Ozzie. But the fact that you believe he's batting Rios 4th to spite KW and also believe that he's a good manager is truly one of the more insane opinions I've ever seen on this board. QUOTE (Tex @ Sep 1, 2011 -> 04:22 AM) Because some on the board realize that players have to play. couldn't win consistently with the types of seasons some very key players have had. If only he'd actually let his best players play... QUOTE (Lemon_44 @ Sep 1, 2011 -> 04:32 AM) Being a tactician is ,in my opinion, so overrated. The key part about being a manager is managing the clubhouse. Just because a guy can make a double switch doesn't mean he's a good manager. I think OG does a great job in the clubhouse. He keeps the heat off the players and let's them play the game. Other than some lapses by Rios, the team plays the game the right way. They just need to execute better. The White Sox haven't played the game of baseball the correct way in years now, no freakin clue what team you're watching. And it's one thing to not be a great tactician but it's another thing to make moves that are just plain idiotic. Pinch hitting Adam Dunn in a key situation for Lilli and batting Rios 4th are literally some of the dumbest moves you'll ever see a manager make.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 31, 2011 -> 10:00 PM) . . . while less than 10% recognizes Williams' incompetency. Before this season, Kenny still had a lot of Sox fans on his side, at this point, a LOT more than 10 percent want him gone.

You're preaching to the choir. I'd say about 98 percent of this board at this point realizes that Ozzie is incompetent.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 31, 2011 -> 09:28 PM) I know how payroll works. I would rather pay guys who actually give a f*** like Quentin and actually produce over hacks like Peavy, Dunn and Rios. It's not my fault our GM acquired those wastes of money. There is absolutely no reason for the hatred on Quentin on this site. By all accounts he's a gamer and has good stats! So in other words, you don't understand.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 31, 2011 -> 07:30 PM) "Hopefully, further in my career, I'll be the guy that they want up there," Lillibridge said. "I always want to be in there to get the opportunity to win a game or at least give us a chance to win. But I trust in [bench coach] Joey [Cora] and Ozzie and the decisions they make." "Dunn can go up there and hit the ball out of the ballpark or walk," Guillen said. "Obviously, he struck out, but that's the matchup I liked the best. Unfortunately, it didn't work." Because you're an absolute moron.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Aug 31, 2011 -> 03:50 PM) BTW, anyone notice how polished PK has become as a hitter? He's hitting to both sides of the field and does just as much damage without putting the ball in the seats. He should be a keeper. He's just flat out awesome.

MDGonzales Mark Gonzales Brent Lillibridge led the Sox with six home runs in August. Ahh so that's why we pinch hit for him in the 9th as he was the tying run...

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 31, 2011 -> 04:39 PM) In his last season where he played full time in AAA, which was in 2007, he stole 13 bases in 14 attempts (and had double digits in years before that too). He was injured in 2008 and has been a backup since, but stole a few anyway. Plus I've seen him play. And an Al pitcher who never hits/runs is a much higher injury risk. Zero doubt in my mind that Lucy is a decent baserunner and made more sense there, the only reason he didn't is that as someone else pointed out, Ozzie NEVER plays his backup C for the game. In any case, this was well down the list of his stupid mistakes, and it turned out not to matter. If Rios got a hit though, it could have. Well I gotta admit, as much as I do follow the minor leagues, I never really paid attention to Lucy's stolen base numbers and I really don't recall off the top of my head, seeing him run. Well played, you win this argument.

Actually, forget blaming everyone else, shame on me for actually letting myself get worked up about this f***in team and this f***in season. This is my own damn fault that I'm so pissed, not the morons that run this team.
