QUOTE(sti3 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 03:38 PM) How ironic. The meaningful calls in the last couple of games all went in our favor. I thought all the umps hated Ozzie! Wait... do you mean... they actually exhibited some PROFESSIONALISM? No way! I think there was plenty of complaining about the umps...on a few tags, on that ball that ARod ran into, on a few stolen base attempts by Pods, etc.

QUOTE(Ozzie Montana @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 03:17 PM) 14 runs in the last 5 games and we win 4. Thats what I call living on the pitching and defense. I think our offense is running low on life support but with Everett back its gotten reinforced. Our offense is completely on life support right now...before today we were hitting a paltry .231 in August (although that's still better than the Twins and Seattle). The fact is that we're not going to be this bad of a hitting team all year. We are a .260 club, plus or minus about 3 points. In other words, at some point, we're going to have a stretch where we hit .285-.290 for 7-8 games in order to make up for this stretch.

QUOTE(upnorthsox @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 01:58 PM) Surprisingly we're 15-10 since the break which is our usual .667 win %. Um, actually that's a .600 winning %age.

All of the pitchers were great, but they wouldn't have been as great without the vacuum cleaner running into the walls in CF and sucking up absolutely everything. If we put another pitcher into the starting lineup, or even threw Adkins out there for a few innings, we might still have won. But you put anyone else in Center field, and I mean anyone, and we would have been swept.

You know what else brings a warm feeling to my heart... We just took 2 of 3 from the Yankees...Holding them to 5 total runs... AND NOW WE GET TO THROW MARK AND JON OUT THERE.

QUOTE(bmags @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 01:56 PM) that was what i was gonna comment on...that was ridiculously clever and funny. "Chris where have you been?" "I DON'T KNOW " Personally, I think I'm still a fan of a few of the moments in the first episode of the season...in particular the "It's just turned his whole life upside down face"

OH MY GOD. WOW. I LOVE THIS TEAM!! NO MATTER HOW MUCH I HATE THEM WITH THE BATS, I LOVE THIS TEAM!!!

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 01:07 PM) We scored 6 runs against the Yankees without our 2 aces going and we win the series. Impressive, f***in impressive. :headbang If we can do this while hitting .220, we can beat ANYONE.

Dustin Hermanson now has as many saves as Rivera. We just beat Rivera. Was someone on ESPN saying that Rivera is a Cy Young candidate? Dustin should just point at the sky and pump his fist and smile.

SOMEBODY CAUGHT IT!!! AND THE WHITE SOX WIN 2-1!!!

SOMEHOW HE MADE AN OUT!!!

And here's the man we've been waiting for for about 3 days...

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 01:02 PM) You do not bring Jenks in to close at Yankee stadium in the 10th inning. Jenks will get his chances against teams that are not made up of multiple MVP's. SB Absolutely agreed. Hell...what do people think happens when a person makes solid contact with a 100 mph pitch?

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 01:01 PM) Dustin's the closer he should have got the ball to begin with. Dustin's hurt and should be saved as much as humanly possible. He's in at exactly the right time.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:59 PM) Things have to be interesting to make sure I have a heart attack every game. But if we win who gives a s***. Maybe the Sox think this helps their ratings...I know I'm tuned in.

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:57 PM) Ozzie needs to really get a clue with Cotts. He is better vs. RH than LH, you use him the exact opposite. Who would you use against LH? Marte's the same way.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:58 PM) you can't like this situation I just like seeing it in Dustin's hands.

Bubba Crosby in to run for Tino. Here comes Ozzie...so here comes Dustin.

4 pitch walk before Jeter.

3-0

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:55 PM) Cotts should stay in to finish the job. I leave him in unless it gets to Sheffield.

QUOTE(sircaffey @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:55 PM) Hermy's back trouble is a big problem. This s*** can't happen come October. With any luck, we clinch in like 25 days and Hermanson gets a month off while Jenks and Bajenaru close games.
