QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 23, 2005 -> 09:50 PM) He's our next GM, not manager. Why not both?

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Aug 23, 2005 -> 09:43 PM) If you look back, I am in 100% agreement with you there. Ozzie Guillen might be the worst manager in baseball. But this year he is also the luckiest too. But i would say he isn't that good at managing. My dream manager would be Steve Stone, that guy is a freakin' genius. He knows a lot about the game and when to do certain things in a game.

I have very little hope left. It's a Chicago team, this happens all the time. (except for the bulls in the 90's and the wolves) Otherwise i have learned that even the biggest lead can be blown or choked away so i don't get my hopes up much.

QUOTE(southsider17 @ Aug 23, 2005 -> 09:47 AM) That's what they did with Buehrle in 2000. I know, but did you see how his name was spelled.

QUOTE(JTC2784 @ Aug 23, 2005 -> 08:59 AM) I'd love to see that (if nobody here knows me, I'm one of the worldcrossing members who came over here during the "fallout" season for wxing a couple of years ago). I've suggested all along that BMac should come up for relief duty to face ML pitching in a more controlled manner like we did with Burly. I also think that he's just a better option in a close ballgame than Adkins is at this point.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Aug 21, 2005 -> 12:15 AM) Now why did Aurilia make it through waivers? He's having a decent year, and b/c he signed a minor league deal, I'd think he'd be dirt cheap. Can he play 3B also? I know that he can play 2B and SS, but could he play third.

THANK GOD AND HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 09:07 PM) Hey, we can't lose tomorrow.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 11:29 PM) With the way this team started, that's not enough for me. With the way this team is playing now it would be for me.

QUOTE(ScottPodRulez22 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 11:15 AM) Lets see here. We are awesome on the road. We have the best record in the AL. Our pitching staff is dominate we lead are division by 11 games and our offense is bound to break out of the slump. Next time think of the glass half full instead of half empty and quit worrying there is nothing you can do. Just enjoy the great season were having. The Sox have been playing like s*** lately. They can't do anything that they did in the first half. If we don't get a bat, i think we are screwed.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 03:07 PM) and get swept? The point I'm making is to finish strong and carry that momentum into the playoffs. i.e 2003 Marlins What i meant is that i would be happy if we got there. But i, just as every other fan wants their team to succeed in the playoffs. As of right now we still have to make the playoffs. I know we have a 12 game lead over cleveland, but we aren't promised a spot in the playoffs yet. Until we make it to the playoffs, i will be happy with making it to the playoffs, then winning the ALDS series and ALCS series and making it to the WS then hopefully winning the WS. (all of which would come after making to the playoffs) This is what i would like to happen, as i am sure that you would also want this to happen also.

As long as we make it to the playoffs i will be happy.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 03:01 PM) Reifert's blog. Oh okay, thanks.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 02:36 PM) Timo's leading off again. Anderson is also in the lineup tonight hitting 9th and playing right. This is my last game before I go to school Where did you find the lineup at?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 01:36 PM) The White Sox are set up to win 2/3 this series with Garcia and Buehrle pitching today and tomorrow.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 08:12 AM) lol how many posts are their about Griffey on this page. When Soxtalk gets to 1,000,000 posts, I will personally congratulate Griffey for making it happen. Don't forget about all the AJ Burnett threads too.

OH NO, Media Attention. MUST..........FLY.............UNDER.............RADAR......

QUOTE(Jake @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 12:00 AM) I think part of our pessimism on this board is because our team wins, yes, but we don't look good on paper. Our lineup on paper looks absolutely flat, and no matter what there's no number for clutch hitting so we can't really know if that is true or not. Our staff looks decent on paper, although some things have inflated lately and our back end doesn't look stellar on paper. Our bullpen on paper actually does look good on paper although I personally don't have too much trust in it at times. But overall, i think its the fact that on paper we appear to be overachieving, and our keys to winning often can't be measured with numbers. No stat for team chemisty, no Ozzie Factor stat, no true stat for clutch hitting, no stat for judgement of fly balls, a lot of our claims to fame this year aren't exactly easy to measure. So yes, my friends, I can understand your pessimism, when our play seems to match our look on paper. If everybody matched their look on paper, we would still be seeing Yankee-Bo Sox ALCS series' for as long as we live. That's the great thing about reality, it doesn't always turn out as expected.

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccccccceeeeeeeeee said that he thinks KGJ will be on the Sox by the end of the week today on Silvy and Carmen. I totally trust Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccceeeeeeee that he is right.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 05:44 PM) Timo's here for the long haul, don't get excited. I'm not, just thinking of a possible situation that could get rid of him.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 05:37 PM) Timo Griffey I was thinking that ozzie's man love for timo would provide some sort of block to this.

Would this be a possibility. Say we do get KGJ in a trade and then we have an extra outfielder. Anderson would go down when pods gets back, and we could get rid of timo somehow and KGJ would take timos place.

QUOTE(Soxpranos @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 03:19 PM) By the Way Edmunds way above Rowand as well. Edmonds
