South Side Fireworks Man

Why leave him in???

I thought Thome was going to be out on that! LOL!

That ump's bad warning just may have saved AJ from getting drilled---for tonight anyway.

The ump's a chump.

Uribe is baaaccckkk!!! He's on his hot streak---just at the right time!

2005 defining moment: A.J.'s walkoff against the Dodgers. 2006 defining moment: A.J.'s walkoff against the Indians??? QUOTE(Brian @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 11:15 PM) I though Gload's grand slam was the defining moment? Good call. That too!

Polish Power on halfway to St. Pat's Day!!!

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 10:50 PM) A regular sacrifice bunt like all NL teams can execute, sure. The way Thome is running, he'd have a hard time making third on a single to LF.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 10:47 PM) If you want to blame Ozzie, here's where I'll accept the criticism. This game was lost when with runners on first and second we can't ask AJ to bunt because we know he can't get the runners over. We need to bunt there with the 2 run lead to expand it. We can't bunt because our guys can't bunt. You think a bunt is going to move runners along with an injured Thome on second and Konerko on first???

QUOTE(S720 @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 10:45 PM) Jenks is our f***ing closer, if you are not aware! Do you think Torres will pull Mariano after two men got on base when his team is leading by two runs? Have some decency to acknowledge this is all on Jenks! Sox were not up by two runs with two men on base. Sox were up by one run with one in and a man on second base after back to back doubles. Jenks had nothing. Not his fault, he's hurt. Ozzie left him in to give up yet another double. Get it now?

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 10:42 PM) They said he was brutal on Monday night in Boston in the bullpen, and they still put his fat ass on the mound. If that's true, again the finger points to Ozzie and his staff.

Can't they tell in the bullpen when a pitcher is warming up that he just doesn't have it????

Huge insurance run! Let's get more.....

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 10:23 PM) Which makes you wonder why Ozzie gave Brian an ultimatum to become either a power hitter or a speedster. I hope Ozzie doesn't ruin him by causing him to swing for homers. Let the power develop naturally over the years.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 10:20 PM) When he does this for more than a week, then I will say he is going to have his one prototypical good month. Until then he is a .230 hitter because he hits like a .230 hitter. I've seen Uribe long enough to know he goes on an extended hot streak at least once a year. I'm hoping this is it. I've got a feeling it is.

I want some insurance runs here!

Uribe is baaaaacccckkkk!!!!!!!

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 10:17 PM) Brian should be batting here. Brian should have been starting in CF tonight.

Oh well!

My favorite Backyardigan!

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 10:07 PM) Shouldn't we have Ozuna hit for Mackowiak? I believe so!

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 10:05 PM) Not sure if we can get a successful bunt down with Thome on 2nd base. This is what I don't like about our lineup this year.

Thome made it all the way to second base on that hit by Konerko! It'll take a home run to score now!

Wow. Thome didn't even flinch!

We need a crooked number this inning!!!
