Interesting.

Ugh.

Thome is heating up again.

I think the one thing I miss the most about not being able to see every game now is DJ.

QUOTE($I Need Money$ @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 06:13 PM) so after one game he is officially better than thome konerko dye crede or even podsednik? wow... It's ok to have a fun thread around here every now and then.

The curse of our leadoff hitter. Must take a called third strike.

Gotta love the fact that I'm not in the Chicagoland area but I'll be blacked out anyways.

QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 04:22 PM) I wouldn't be comparing Sweeney to the Almighty God, Agreed, he ain't Jermaine Dye yet.

I'm done with this topic. Brian Anderson is becoming a damn good player and if you guys who have watched this team all season long can't figure that out then, well whatever...

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 01:07 PM) He's looked pretty clueless over the last week. I'm not sure that's my definition of giving a damn. It's been 3 freakin games.

QUOTE(Wealz @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 12:47 PM) In his last 10 games, Anderson is 6-for-27 with 1 run batted in. Overall on the road this season, his line is an embarrassing .204/.283/.299. He has knocked in 7 runs in 167 road AB's. Nice. You took 3 rough days in a row at the plate and spread it over 10 games to make it look like he's really been struggling for the last week and a half.

The reason this is all bugging me is because it's so painfully obvious that Ozzie has no clue about his own players and team. Ozzie has no freakin idea how good of a player BA has become.

QUOTE(Hangar18 @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 09:06 AM) WOW. Thats pathetic. I posted our record since the All-Star Break ......but it was deleted. This division was there for the taking. Even with all of the trouble the SOX had with the pitching and hitting, it was still winnable. Too much Mackowiak in CF, too much Thome batting 3rd, too much leaving Vazquez in too long. The games where these guys made the "difference", happens to be the same difference we are behind. This is one thing that I believe had absolutely nothing to do with the Sox being horrid for so long now.

This team makes me want to stab myself in the eye. So if that's fun, then yes.

Seriously, Brian Anderson is one of the only players who has done his freakin job the 2nd half of the season and he's the one getting called out, beautiful. I mean no rookie should ever struggle their first two full months of major league ball, so because of that lets look at his batting average on a whole. Ozzie Guillen might want pitching and defense but being one of the better defensive centerfielders in baseball means absolutely nothing if you struggle for the first two months of your major league career. Heads must be right, Brian Anderson is a communist, that's the only explanation I got.

After thinking about it for a bit, I don't think there is a person in major league baseball that I hate more than Ozzie Guillen right now.

I despise Ozzie Guillen. Absolutely hate this guy.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 05:51 PM) I hope to God they don't throw him out there in a situation when the game is on the line. We all know that will most likely happen.

QUOTE(G&T @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 05:48 PM) I'd rather have Thornton as the closer. MacDougal gets into too much trouble every time he comes in. He gets out of it generally, but I don't know if it will work in the closer's role. Well Mac has closing experience, so I assume that's why he's getting the opportunity.

QUOTE(Whitewashed in @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 05:44 PM) Even if its precautionary this still sucks... So now we have Thome, Dye, and Jenks with some problems... Eh, what have those players ever done for this team?

Very, very thankful for what he did last year and I agree that he is one of the unsung hero's of the Championship team but that being said, he's toast.

QUOTE(SABR Sox @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 05:24 PM) The MacDogual trade looks even better right now. Just out of curiosity, even though Jenks has only 3 BS, would anyone prefer seeing Mac in the closer's role? Uh No. Bobby has been fantastic this year, it'd be ridiculous to take him out of the closers role. Anyways, this year just keeps getting better and better huh?

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 05:18 PM) Eh, who cares. It's still a pretty useless website. Fixed.

QUOTE(LVSoxFan @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 04:50 PM) But doesn't that leave us with a dreaded five hole again? Well that would be the main hole to fill if you get rid of those two. Basically, I'm just saying I'd love to get rid of both of them, let Brandon start finally and find a new five starter.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 03:05 PM) that doesnt bode well for us. Just figures that everyone would return for this series.
