QUOTE(WinninUgly @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 09:22 PM) I know that Griffey keeps coming up in trade rumors, but what about Sweeney at DH or Vizquel at SS? normally id sya maybe, but who am i joking. we arent adding anyone. why would we after waivers when its 100 times easier before waivers and still didnt get anything done. this is our team.

QUOTE(Soxpranos @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 08:02 PM) I've made the comment before, 14 out of the last 15 World series winners are good hitting teams. thats true, but in order to win the world series its quite simply really. you have to be a great team. that means great pitching, great hitting. those great hitting teams had some great damn pitchrers that helped carry them. we are not a great hitting team, we arent even a good hitting team. in order for us to win in teh playoffs we are gonna be facing colons/zitos/hardens/clements etc. not to mention we are gonna be seeing the best of the best outa the pen (ducschererer, shields for 2 innings, krod for 1+, timlin for 1+) so our pitching is essentialy gonna have to flat dominate, and we are gonna have to get some lucky blasts, and clutch hits in order to win in october

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 08:00 PM) Mark is 2-0 against Baltimore, Cleveland, Detroit, and Seattle. Mark is 1-0 against Texas, Toronto and the Dodgers. Mark is 2-1 against KC. Mark is 0-1 against Boston, soon to be 0-2 against Minnesota, and 0-2 against Oakland. Mark is 0-0 but with 3 very good starts against San Diego and The LA Angels. He has an ERA of 0 against SD and 2.08 in 2 starts against LA. usually mark pitches well against minny too. hard to say he hasnt beaten anybody this year with those recrods. oakland is the only team who he never gets

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 07:57 PM) Is there no one we can get to fill in as a leadoff hitter? Is Rickey Henderson still playing in one of those indie leagues? i hope youre joking

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 07:56 PM) f***. i really thought we had a chance to come back. f*** f*** f*** you weak weak man

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 07:53 PM) They hit oppo a bunch of times in the Orioles series. The last time we hit the ball well. Then of course Greg corrected that. man, people need to lay off of walker for our guys not hitting oppo, our # 1 and 2 guys do it probably more than anyone in the league. konerko is a power hitter, and never has gone oppo. carl does on occasion, usually from the leftside tho....AJ does it, tho not as much. but the fact is that compared to other teams, we do it alot more. there are teams out there who id say rarely ever go oppo.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 07:51 PM) We get our 2nd hit. How pathetic is this. IT TOOK THEM 7 f***ING INNINGS TO REALIZE THAT YOU NEED TO GO OPPO TO GET ON WITH CHANGEUP PITCHERS. check that......it took them teh last 2 weeks

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 07:49 PM) Sweet Jesus we need another bat in this lineup. I almost wish Carl hadn't gotten the hit. Being No-Hit might wake up either KW or JR and convince them to really go ahead and make a move. another bat???? where would that bat play??????

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 07:49 PM) i wonder if our fans would have stood up and cheered for the no hitter in the ninth if it were to have gotten to that point... i would have booed, and i would have booed every single fan who stood up to cheer

QUOTE(daa84 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 07:46 PM) if one guy gets on with a walk, that would potentially bring up carl to save us with 2 outs in the ninth. remember what he did to mussinas perfect game....2 outs, 0-2 count...little flare into right for a base hit or carl can just do it now....phew

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 07:45 PM) Well, looks like we'll finally get the attention so many feel we deserve. Too bad it'll take a no hitter to achieve it. if one guy gets on with a walk, that would potentially bring up carl to save us with 2 outs in the ninth. remember what he did to mussinas perfect game....2 outs, 0-2 count...little flare into right for a base hit

QUOTE(SHAFTR @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 07:43 PM) why? If you are going to get no hit....Santana isn't embarassing. At this point, I hope he gets the no hitter tonight. This offense has just been anemic and something needs to be done (either through acquisition, improvement or call ups). If this whole month hasn't been enough of a wake up call...perhaps this game will be enough cause for alarm. um...maybe because no hit by anybody is embarrassing?

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 07:42 PM) You have to understand how much I despise the Twins. I mean, more than any other team, I can't stand the twins. yeah not to mention ill never root for my team to be the butt of any record. that takes alot of pride away imo.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 07:32 PM) For the SOX or the O's? WH 54? No way! Do you have a link? it was AA bowie, so for Os......... edit: but does it matter who it was for? http://forecaster.chicagosports.chicagotri...player.cgi?2782

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 07:28 PM) WH never had 45BB & 32SB that I'm aware of. Pods definitely was hurt. You could see it when he would take off on the split screen. His initial push-off was slower. I'm not saying Owens is the solution but he's got better instincts as a LO hitter than Timo. nope. but he had 54, 38 and 32, edit: that 32 was really 40 includign his time in the bigs

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 07:25 PM) ITS TIME FOR A CLOSE DOORED MEETING KW AND OZZIE NEED TO BEAT THIS TEAM. I THOUGHT THE PURPOSE OF GETTING RID OF CARLOS LEE AND ALL THIS IS SPEED NEVER EVER EVER SLUMPS AND THAT OZZIEBALL WOULDNT HAVE THE OLE 15 RUNS ONE NIGHT AND 1 FOR THE NEXT 4. THIS IS THE SAME f***ING TEAM WITHOUT CARLOS LEE WHO WAS A POWER HITTER(A MEATHEAD AND ALL) BUT A 300 HITTER. AND NO MAGGS, WHO IS ALSO A 300 HITTER WTH POWER. NOW WE ARE A 250 HITTING TEAM WHO HITS THE OCCASIONAL SOLO DONG. who is fast on this team? who is fast and getting on base?

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 07:24 PM) I'm announcing the no-hitter (which seems to be a baseball sin), in hoping he loses it. Though this game's basically over already. I don't know what I'm watching for. JOHAN SANTANA WITH THE NO HITTER THROUGH 5. thats like reverse.....when your guy has a no no, and you announce it its bad, but when the other guy has one, and you announce it, you are jinxing your own hitters, so it would be best to not announce it, if you want him to lose it

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 11:35 PM) Who here agrees with me that we're just trying to coast into the playoffs, and we're playing not to lose too often? I didn't see jack s*** done by Ozzie in order to spark the offense tonight. I don't call having a dead power hitter in Dye trying to bunt as smartball. i personally think ozzie resting guys like iguchi, pods and others now for a reason instead of in 1 month. he wants them sharp by sept and i think hell have this team ready come septemeber

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 08:37 PM) Out of Young, Sweeney or Anderson if 1's dealt, I'd actualy like it to be Brian. He's probably got the least potential out of the 3 but is the most sure thing. Maybe in a trade for a 3rd baseman in the off-season perhaps? im still not sold on sweeney i mean i know hes 19 with a sweet swing or whatever but 0 homers, i dunno maybe i just havent seen enough of him to be sold. young tho.....who i also havent seen so im not relaly qualified to make an opinion. but everything i read or hear sounds like this kid is gonna be some kind of good when he figures out how to play this game.

QUOTE(ottawa_sox @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 08:33 PM) When Frank came to Ottawa for 4 games with the Knights, I saw Anderson throw out a couple of guys at home. He threw absolute peas and they didn't even bounce - low strikes - absolutely took my breath away. yeah, i found the article sayin he had the best arm in teh international league, you need subscription tho.... http://www.baseballamerica.com/online/feat...sttoolsaaa.html i also remember when he was in zona fall league they said he was the best defensive OF there.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 08:31 PM) Right now, I'd sort of guess Jacque Jones like production. Around .270, 20-25HR's, 90 RBI's. good comparison, i think hopefully he could add more power than jones, maybe get a year or two in there where hits 30. hell be a rowand type player with better power

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 08:24 PM) Is Anderson's arm really that good? I still laugh about the Angels outfield for a few games last year with Vlad, Guillen, and Mondesi. The Braves have a great throwing outfield, as Francouer has an absolute rifle. supposedly anderson has the best throwing arm in the IL. threw mid 90s heat as a reliever at arizona....ill see if i can find the link about anderson having the best arm in the IL

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 08:22 PM) No, but he's poop on defense. Compared to Anderson. Compared to anyone with two legs, actually. i hate that one handed catch he does. ill say this right now, there may not be an OF out there that has stronger arms than the one out there now. even if rowands arm is only average-slightly above average

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 08:19 PM) Watchin him on those high fastballs obviously he's got to work on that quite a bit, with his swings. A very good AB that was though. ill say this....there is something to be said about a hitter who can take ugly swings at good pitches and foul them off waiting for the right pitch. anderson still didnt find that right pitch tonight, but id rather see an ugly swing that fouls the ball off like he did tonight than and ugly swing and miss (ie uribe)

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 08:15 PM) no one will ever think you're a genius god guys, settle down abotu timo......anderson is batting .110 higher
