QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 25, 2006 -> 06:07 PM) Oh come on now. These lineups include a guy with a hyphenated first name, a guy who can't spell Johnny, a guy who never goes by his actual name (initials only), a guy referred to once as "three gorilla strong", and players from at least 6 different countries (including 2 different Asian nations). I think that's pretty interesting. Crap. You're right. They need to sweep and have MIN lose 3 of 4, don't they? Yessir.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 25, 2006 -> 06:02 PM) So, if my math is right, if we win 2 of 3 in CLE, then MIN needs to lose 3 of 4 to KC for us to be alive going into MIN. Alternately, if we sweep CLE, and MIN goes 2 of 4 or worse, then we go to MIN mathematically in it. I know, its basically over. But that won't stop me from rooting for my team. Let's sweep 'em!!! GO YOU WHITE SOX!!! Your math is incorrect

I got a feeling Detroit is going to surprise a lot of people in the playoffs.

Shot through the heart

So as a lot of you guys know I'm very anti facebook. Anyways, I spent the weekend at U of I and all the sudden there are pictures of me all over that stupid website. My goal was to never, ever be involved with that thing in anyway and now I feel violated. Boo.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 24, 2006 -> 11:55 PM) Time to dust off the golf clubs Tex>Tiger. True Story.

If Bonds can't find a legit team, a team like the drays would definitely take him as he'd bring them in way too much money to pass up.

So I went to Champaign this weekend to watch Illinois-Iowa and ya that was some bad football. I'm convinced that SIU would beat Illinois and Iowa has been so unimpressive every game I've seen them play(all except the Montana game).

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Sep 22, 2006 -> 09:28 AM) Because the 3rd team may have to give up less for Garland than they would for Willis. And because they know if they can't trade for Willis, well Garland is a pretty good backup scenario. I'd imagine we'd have to give up a prospect along with Garland to get Willis. Which wouldn't be smart considering Jon is better than Dontrelle. Willis is going to need to stay in the NL to be effective for his career. After his first or second time around in the al he'd start to get hammered.

Jon Garland>>>>Dontrelle Willis.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 22, 2006 -> 02:17 AM) You know what, I trust the Trib's Gonzalez more than Orel f***ing Hershiser. Give me a break on Orel Hershiser. Stupid f***. Gonzalez said in a Q and A the Sox didn't quit. I mean believe they quit if you want but I wouldn't trust some hoser like Orel Hershiser. I'm sure he got the scoop about all the Sox talking about offseason plans, etc. He's a dumbass. So Orel Hershiser who has absolutely nothing to gain from saying something like that just decided to make that up? Ok, whatever. How about the fact your manager even said tonight that he was disgusted at the effort the players gave? Whatever though, it's a matter of opinion and I'll leave it at that.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 22, 2006 -> 02:09 AM) What the hell does this mean? Please be specific. Who quit? Did Pods quit or does he simply suck right now. Did Uribe quit or did he overachieve much of last year. Did Dye and Thome quit? Did Paulie quit? Did AJ? DId the bullpen quit? No the bullpen sucked. Did the starters quit? No the starters during a long stretch sucked. Did Iguchi quit or just fall in love with the long ball? Did Anderson quit or can he not hit anything but little league pitching? Who the f*** quit? Cora was braindead, but who quit???? When you read stuff like the players are packing up there things and are making offseason plans what does that tell you? When pods doesn't run hard down the first base line, when Uribe drops one handed catches, when aj wont get down in the dirt to block a ball, all that stuff is lack of hustle and lack of caring. Think what you want but there is no doubt in my mind that the majority of the team just mailed it in a few weeks back.

QUOTE(diegotony06 @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 10:34 PM) I saw this on the SOX message board and it really pissed me off. Wjat the heack happened to the heart of this team, and what happened to Ozzie, i never thought he would let this happen Orel Hershiser was on Baseball Tonight talking about the Sox (He did the Tigers game last night on ESPN). He mentioned that it disturbed him to see the clubhouse atmosphere and it wasn't what he'd expected out of the defending world champs....he said he noticed players making offseason plans, signs up about cleaning out lockers, etc. This was very disturbing to me considering they are not yet mathmatically eliminated Once again, this team just quit.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 11:50 PM) Do you still eat Macaroni and Cheese all the time too? What's wrong with Mac and Cheese? So now adults can't have ketchup, can't have mac and cheese..what else aren't we allowed to eat?

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 02:25 PM) If my math is right, 14 games over by the time they played the cubs, their first nl series. Not too shabby. Well ya. But what I'm saying is, you look at their overall record and they went 10 over agains the NL and only 8 over against the AL, not too impressive.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 02:08 PM) It does, but we didn't magically get to 20 over .500. Most everyone seems to forget that were were looking pretty good the first half... National League.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 12:10 PM) It doesn't matter. They are highly paid athletes who are supposed to be above ALL of this. They aren't HUMAN, they are MACHINES! Get it right, Rock. Besides, every other team overcomes it, obviously (Sometimes, green isn't needed). Isn't Ozzie's constant playing of backups supposed to be so our team is the most fresh down the stretch? If that's not happening then why are our bench players playing so darn much? It's an 162 game season, everyone is going to be tired and banged up by the end of it. All the teams in the al that are going to make the playoffs had at least one big time injury this season, we did not, but our excuse is that we're banged up? Cmon now.

So being banged up is the new excuse, eh? Sorry, I'm not buying. The Twins, Yankees, Tigers and A's have all lost key players for the majority of the season due to injury and we're banged up so that's the reason for this team struggling? Nope, I don't buy it.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 06:29 AM) uh oh, the offense didn't show up for his last 3 of his last 4 starts. He should have won the Boston game, the Oakland game, and even though he gave up 5 runs last night, he still should have won. This offense has just been disgusting to watch the past month or so. So, lets all congratulate Jon Garland on what should be his 20th win! Good job! Does a 4.4 era pitcher deserve 20 wins? If not then you should be thanking the offense for all the wins they got him early on.

QUOTE(mreye @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 09:12 AM) This is my whole point. Why is it for the 5-10 age group? Why am I not allowed to enjoy ketchup because I'm over 30? Why can't the hot dog nazis let us ketchup lovers be? I've always wondered this as well. What did ketchup do to deserve all this hate?

QUOTE(pcullotta @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 08:06 AM) It is true that BA's average climbed extremely well in the second half but it is also true that Ozzie did not play BA against a lot of tough pitchers (especially tough right handers). I wonder if his average would have continued climbing at that pace if he had to face all of the pitchers Ozzie protected him from. This is also why we had to put up with Mack in CF for all those games. Everyone yelled "why is Mack out there when BA is hitting .300 this month" but no one wanted to mention that BA was doing it against pitchers Ozzie thought would be easier for him. Of course no one will ever know what BA could have done against those tough pitchers but I just wanted to throw that out there. Instead BA gets to play against all the tough left handers when he hits righties much better. That is not protecting him.

Wow. Steff, I think you've went too far this time.
