South Side Fireworks Man

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 05:28 PM) Time for Frank to seriously just kill our season. Could be the season right here.

I just logged on, but I have to say Thome is not pulling his weight. I'd rather see Gload in there.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 11:28 AM) So we want our best offense to be in the lineup every game. And that means that Gload's not in LF for Podsednik....why? Ozzie can't quit soon enough. Pretty soon, he's going to want a team of all 30 year old players and older. Maybe he can go manage the Giants. I hope the Sox win the World Series again this year and Ozzie decides to retire and go out on top. Then, I hope they put up a statue of him at the Cell. No matter what though, I hope he is gone after this season.

Start Gload from now on.

Let's see if Thome can justify his salary this inning. He was brought here to come through in games like this...

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 11:34 PM) Brandon looks G-O-O-D. Everything is being hit softly on the ground, I love it. Not that one.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 11:32 PM) Thank god Gload and Cintron get a good view from the bench. We keep a .230ish hitting SS in the game who can barely I mean barely hit the ball because he swings for the fence no matter what is happening. Then we keep a lefty hitting LF that can barely hit. Gload is on the bench with Cintron trying to figure out why Ozzie hates them. Gload is the best LH hitter on the team. Ozzie must have a "gut feeling" about keeping him on the bench while Pods continues to suck.

QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 11:28 PM) Well, its safe to say that even if we do make the playoffs, the Yankees would obliterate us. 2007 is going to need some creative Kenny Williams solutions. Razor Shines?

Nice AB, Brian.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 11:23 PM) Thome? Trade him. We need pitching, speed and defense.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 11:21 PM) The Sox desperately need to find a way to improve their team speed next year. LF and SS should be the places we look to upgrade at. And RF also. Move Dye to DH.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 11:20 PM) The slowest developing double play tandem in baseball folks. Nah. It just seems that way because you're used to seeing White Sox runners going down the line.

This game sucks.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 11:09 PM) If we lose this game 3-2, I'm going to be really pissed at Ozzie for putting Mackowiak in CF and costing this team 2 runs. Sox have one of the worst defensive outfields in baseball. Mackowiack is out of position in CF, Dye is over-rated in RF because he is too slow out there, and Podsednik flat out sucks. Tonight, you can make a case that both Dye and Mackowiak cost the Sox those two runs.

Cotts in = game over.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 10:48 PM) I think Thome's bad wrist changed that whole AB. He has no bat speed anymore, and he can't pull that inside pitch with any authority. I don't think his wrist is the problem, but if it is, then play Ross Gload.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 09:41 PM) MACK Mack Daddy!

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 09:35 PM) Martinez walked, bases loaded for Cleveland with 1 out. Garza at bat. Garko.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 09:34 PM) Drums, air horns, ect..... Nice pitch by Jon, two down. Everything about the Oakland A's sucks.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 09:29 PM) One extra base hit on an inside fastball to Frank. As DJ said, Ozzie should have just shut the hell up. All Ozzie knows how to do is talk.

Stupid Frank Thomas.

Gload is the best left-handed hitter on the team. And he hustles, too.

Buerhle shutting them down 1-2-3, after we got the lead was huge.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 10:27 PM) He was safe if he would have given 100% for 90 feet. He sucks, and there is no defense for lack of effort. Agree 100%.

Pods should be benched for that.
