QUOTE(the People's Champ @ Aug 8, 2005 -> 09:41 AM) Ok what does that have to do with 2005??? The Sox don't get any respect because over the last few years, they haven't earned any. I'm not saying I agree with it, but that's the way it goes. When your team wins 91, 96, 102 and 103 games over the past four seasons and you get as hot as the A's have been the last month, it's easy to see how people might give them a little more credit than they gave the Sox initially. Beane consistently puts together winning teams and this year is no exception. Unfortunately for us, this season has been the exception to the rule for the Sox in recent history.

How many times have the A's won 90+ games from 2001-2004 How many times have the Sox won 90+ games from 2001-2004

Plus they've been over 30k for 21 of their last 22. it's amazing how well fans have responded to this season.

Seeing as how they've had 35,000+ for 14 of the last 22 home games, I think 2.43 is extremely likely.

Sox are 17th in attendance, and there's 0 chance they'll be 16th. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/attendance

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Aug 8, 2005 -> 08:01 AM) 8/5/05 with mom -> Mariners 4, Sox 2 Sox are 1-1 when I attend. Next game for me is 9/24 vs Minnesota (have the tickets already -> mom, brother and me!) hey, I was at this game too.

if you're ever in the upper tank anywhere behind home plate, MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE you don't get the first two seats or the last two seats in row 7. There are two staircases that go up beside each tunnel entrance in rows 1-6 and then the two aisles converge to a single center aisle at row 7. basically everyone blocks your view coming up the stairs from 1-6 and logjams happen in front of you every inning. Ugh. Worst seats in the house. What a f***ing nightmare.

no friggin walks please...argh

ahahhahah that was awesome

christ uribe

this is going well....

Hawk just said "another full house" ....wow

guys, it's mid august, hot as hell and the balls are flying out in october, the balls won't be carrying nearly as much.

What this team needs, more than anything else, is a doubles/triples hitter. We are dead last in the majors in doubles and need guys that are an extra base threat.

QUOTE(ScottPodRulez22 @ Aug 6, 2005 -> 11:44 AM) I think were flat because our team is playing small ball in a long ball park seriosly we only struggle at home. It also could be that there not used to playing in the huge crowds we are getting now a days. Last Pods needs to heat up right away 1 time on base each game in 2 out situations in not cutting it. We scored all of our runs on homers last night and are in the top 6 in home runs in the majors.

he also says "Poz" has 58 stolen bases how the f*** is this guy writing for Sports Illustrated?

um, guys....July 27th at KC

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 02:59 PM) Ozzie didn't help himself out any with the stupid decisions he made either. so we put gascan in first and give up a quick 3...no matter what 6th inning MR is playing with fire no matter how you slice it. If Marte had it we could've maybe gone Cotts/Politte/Marte/Hermanson over four. I'm sure that's what Ozzie initially had in mind...

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 02:56 PM) Just able to get online now, but why in the f*** did Ozzie use Cotts and Cliff so soon? On what planet are Cotts and Cliff the middle relievers to get to Marte and Viz, the set-up men? If Jose Contreras could avoid throwing 100 pitches in less than 5 innings, maybe Ozzie wouldn't have to go to his f***ing bullpen in the 6th. Contreras' pitchcount is what got us in trouble initially.

isn't their anybody else who could've started the eighth other than damaso? He clearly didn't have it today, got some great defense by blum to bail his sorry ass out and then ozzie runs him back out there?
