Milkman delivers

QUOTE(Mplssoxfan @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 09:35 PM) ??? What? Don't understand the wording?

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 09:33 PM) The milkman was the man. Pfft, understatement.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 09:29 PM) 2000 playoffs. Maggs, Lee, Frank, and Konerko combined 3-40. Frank and Konerko combined 0-18. I know at least one guy that didn't choke that year :rolly

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 09:02 PM) Yeah I think he is absolutely horrible, Ive never seen a guy more full of himself... He is like the black Jay Marrioti to me. Who the f*** markets a nationally televised program by showing continuous New England Patriots commercials? Ooh, the Patriots are better than your team. Now I really wanna watch that show.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 09:16 PM) Bill Melton also just said that with 2 men on in the 9th, Rowand was probably trying to hit a home run. They have had 2 meetings in the last month about pitch selection and working the counts. Nothing seems to be working. Uribe just reacts. Hopefully he's singling someone out for a trade.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 09:10 PM) Bill Melton just said that this team can only score runs right now via the long ball. They dont do the same things they did to start the season. He said outside of yesterday we havent been hitting good at all. That every team seems to 5 hit us. Its not just me making these comments. A few weeks ago, I said we must get 4 hits or less in more games than any other team in baseball. I still think it's true.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 09:00 PM) They'll make the playoffs. Come September, when the games count, they will come around. I'm not as worried about that (though I still have a fears that they'll choke somehow), but I'm definitely worried about them getting disgraced in the postseason. If they pull something like they did in 2000 or something like the Mariners did in 2001, I'll probably cry. I'd never be able to believe in them again.

With the way I feel after games like this, I don't even know what I'll do if the Sox somehow don't make the playoffs or get humiliated in the postseason. That just scares the living hell out of me.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 08:48 PM) I am so sick, really I need a KW trade to lighten the mood. We seem like the worst first place team ever when we lose. I guess all this winning is new and when they lose, it's just something we're not used to. Damn right, I want a trade like no one's business. I don't even know what that means, but I f***ing want a trade.

God, we really need an offense. For having changed the format, we still score a lot in one game, and then score almost nothing in others.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 08:15 PM) Well, this is twice in this series in a key at bat that Uribe has grounded out on the first pitch. That generally means he doesn't have enough pitch recognition or isn't experienced enough to be patient. Solution? Ride it out and hope his defense makes up for it, or make a trade and have Uribe be the super sub. What will Ken Williams do? I hope to God that the answer is that he trades for Vizquel. This team really can't go 4 straight games without looking horrible at least once.

Haha, Uribe's really making a case for the SS spot to be the one upgraded at. What an impatient f***. I hope he gets hit by a car, too.

This team f***s me over every time I have my own pride on the line. I told my friend a while ago that Miller would never be anything like his former self, now he's gonna go 7 shutout innings against us. I'm gonna catch so much f***ing s*** for that. f***!

If any more runs score, this game will seriously be over. That's not even sarcasm or anti-jinx this time.

Since this game's over, I have an idea of something to argue back and forth that has to do with the Sox. If a pitcher on the Sox is going to win the Cy Young, it will be Garland.

Hey, I didn't know Wade Miller was up for a Cy Young this year. Gee, here I thought he sucked.

Ha, so everyone's abandoned talking about the game?

QUOTE(Soxpranos @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 07:01 PM) Everett or Konerko, face it guys our run producers are pretty bad.. Konerko , Everett and Rowand. manny and Ortiz alone have more Rbi than them 3! Sigh... never been a Konerko or Rowand fan and Everett just to damn old and we gave away 5 minor leaguers in 2 diff. trades to get him ? Just stop right now, you don't know what you're talkign about. Everett was the only one producing down the stretch two years ago, and he carried the offense the first two months this year. Don't complain just to complain, have a f***ing reason.

QUOTE(Cerbaho-WG @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 06:58 PM) How can you be late on a 3-1 fastball that you know is coming? It's pretty easy when you suck.

Refer to my sig. f*** this fat, unclutch, swing for a homer every single f***ing opportunity piece of s***.

That was f***ing great.

Carl letting him off the hook, it seems.

Yeah, it was Nossek. I was thinking Narron because I knew it was an N, but he's the Reds' manager.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 06:44 PM) Duque's looking sharper now. Just no more fastballs down the cock to Manny, and he might have a chance to give up less than 4 runs tonight. At some point, he's going to have to face Ortiz and Manny again. I'll decide how well he's doing if he can get through those two without giving up much more.

Who was that one bench coach we had that was supposed to be the best sign stealer in the game? He retired a few years ago because of heart problems or something.
