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?

christ, this sucks.

whew

what is the f***ing point of leaving him in????

no no no no

interesting stat I just figured out...if my math is right we are 58-14 when scoring 4+ runs if we could just add a number 3 hitter....

Jon just doesn't have it tonight, it seems

I'm on board for the Adkins diet

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 03:16 PM) I've been worrying about them coming back for a long time and even I'm now ready to admit this. They're dead and buried. I agree with you, but if we scuffle against these weak teams and then go through our toughest stretch and come out of it only up 9 or 10 games, the Indians and/or Twins are gonna be clammering about the Sox choking. Let's just end this s*** now, that's what I say.

Well, that would be about right... I think if we can maul Toronto and Seattle, take 5 of 6 and increase the division lead to 17 games or so, we can put the final nails in the coffin of our AL Central rivals... after next week the schedule gets brutal so let's bury them now!

Sox won't clinch prior to Sept 1....how likely is it that the Twins and Indians will both lose 20-23 games this month AND the Sox will win that many? They'll clinch second week of september....

QUOTE(Balance @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 02:20 PM) Does anybody else wanna see.... ...a meteor strike the stadium?

Seriously, the streak doesn't really matter. There are a ton of circumstances entirely out of the pitcher's control that can interrupt a streak like this...a 2 hour rain delay in the 4th inning, for example, and of course a judgement call by a jackass umpire. Sure, it's a nice little stat to have, and something for Mark and White Sox fans to feel proud of, but at the end of the day I don't care. A couple of times it seems like Ozzie left Mark out to get his six despite the fact he didn't have it (@Oakland earlier this year and then last week). What's more important is that the team could've responded by laying down after their ace was tossed. They didn't...they finished the job and responded like a championship team should, unlike what happened out in Oakland when the umps took over the game with that Crede situation.

BIRDS BLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

christ, how does byrnes always kill us

I think a lot of writers will maybe not vote him in because of this I sure wouldn't vote him in now

QUOTE(Cerbaho-WG @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 10:58 AM) He could be indicted on perjury charges as well. not really. he said he had not used steroids previously. how is that perjury?

QUOTE(MurcieOne @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 10:52 AM) Canseco's on the Surreal Life and contemplating sex with that ice queen Janice Dickinson... he has no right to laugh at anyone. I think you misconstrue my meaning...he's laughing his ass off because book sales probably went up 1000% with this announcement.

Canseco is laughing his ass off somewhere right now

Is something wrong with Podsednik?

Christ, how can Timo be leading off.
