Mulligan this morning was practically in tears. saying the season's over, etc.

anyone else real pissed at gamecast right now

what did overbay do

ok, that air throw was good stuff.

Nice to root for Blum again here. EDIT: yea, thats about how i remember it being, result wise.

Sox and Twins currently fighting The Battle of Who Could Care Less http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7-jiEbWUUc In all seriousness though, goes to show that teams with nothing to play for (Tor, Cle) can be the most dangerous and will cause pennant chasers to out-think themselves.

It's great how all the anti-Crede people now get to wear the guise of having always been so pro-Juan When in reality they'll just turn on him later when he's cold b/c of their own personality types

This seems to be a consensus about Floyd, or at least not just Mark, I should say I heard Matt Thornton on the Score once, and he was asked a bunch of questions. Amongst them: "If the whole team was stranded on a desert island, who would be eaten first?" Without missing a beat, Thornton said "Gavin Floyd." Obviously it's a joke, but it's a way of saying he's the nicest guy on the team. Or maybe least aggressive. In any event, Buehrle can be a tough guy all he wants, but I'd rather he have Floyd's stuff right now than his own mindset.

fortunately this is shaping up to look like the classic runs-allowed-but-save from Jenks.

Stone: I thought he would be running before. ! hilarious

K, 1 out

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 09:32 PM) We do not string hits along, and we have a hard time driving in runs outside of the long ball. Good teams keep the ball the park and usually have good pitching and defense. Our relief lately has had a problem throwing strikes and getting ahead of hitters. this results in a lot of hitters counts and free bases. what gives me some hope is the sizable difference in OBP from the '05 to '08 teams even though this team isnt as well rounded as that one, i'm going into this postseason with the same expectations as that year. i figure we're not the best team in the league, but we'll see if we can steal a series or two. that year, we did. well, and then some, b/c pitching appeared. this year it might have to be a real steal.

Uh oh Discuss

such a weird feeling being a fan of this team and watching a strikeout pitcher. starting.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 05:33 PM) Uribe. Let me propose this. Crede's range on diving plays is a more helpful trait than anything Uribe provides. Offense or Defense.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 05:27 PM) Awesome recovery by Javy. Loads the bases with nobody out and only allows 1 quasi-unearned run. Like I said a few days ago: there is not f***ing grace period for Joe Crede. Either he's close to his '05/'06 levels or he shouldn't be playing. He doesn't get 2-3 weeks to "find it". What's the solution? Underperforming Fields, Uribe who everyone has apparently absolved after nonstop absolutely hating, or an All-Star? EDIT: yes that last word was meant to madden all, but the point stands.

All in all, good recovery by Javy. Usually he folds like a WWE ringside chair in that situation.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 05:12 PM) I can't believe some people still try to argue that he's a good defensive player. well he hasnt been bad this year because of bad judgments like that one he's been bad in my view b/c he's hurt and not getting off the throws like he used to and not gloving it as well

I actually am glad that he looked pissed at himself after catching that popup

That is so unbelievably stupid

Anyone who brings up OC's comments about Scioscia being the best manager he has played under... Hope no one who dislikes that has also criticized Guillen's in-game managing. If so, then you're likely agreeing with Orlando, no?

HOLLA aaaa

Couple big bats sit down.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 10:26 PM) I'm not about to put Jon Adkins in my rotation, Darin Erstad in centerfield, or Ben Davis at catcher any time soon. He looked like he had completely flamed out as a prospect and the Sox found something in him. Jon Adkins wasnt as high a pick as those other two guys
