QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 09:18 PM) It's plain and simple....we're not a playoff team right now. At last, the standings reflect that. Right now? We haven't been a playoff team for over 2 months.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 08:03 PM) 2-1 I believe we need an update...

Good call on the thread.

Mike Timlin's last outing without allowing a baserunner was August 12th and we go 1-2-3 just like that.

Sox extra innings offense consists of scoring on a solo HR or not scoring at all, which means Jenks' blown save is going to finish us.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 09:04 PM) Bobby clearly didn't have 'it' tonight. We're lucky to get out of that inning going to extras. We're in a pretty good position with our bullpen, too. McCarthy and Haeger can both throw some innings. I'd bring in Logan, actually, as our next 'high leverage' reliever, ie if we get a chance to save the game. Yeah, Haeger and Logan really warm my heart in extra innings at Fenway.

I wonder what our hitters are thinking in the dugout?

QUOTE(kwolf68 @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 09:00 PM) ...one night it is the hitting, the other night starting pitching, some nights middle relief, and other nights the closer. Yeah, you just described a bad team. Your 2nd half White Sox.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 08:46 PM) It is a shame Ryan Sweeney's MLB debut is as a pinch runner. It should have been as the LF in tonights game. He debuted in KC.

For us gameday followers, please post any TV updates on Dye.

Jon has thrown 30 more pitches through the same amount of innings as Tavarez.

Someone please re-assure me Juan Uribe is gone at the end of the year.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 07:29 PM) Walk Come on guys, dont let this little bump in the road stop you, stay the course. We are in the AL we need to hit home runs. Remember to clear your hips and to dip your back shoulder, and let the power do the rest. I think he cant keep up with the pinpoint control on the outside corner. He will eventually throw it over the middle. Ross Gload "But Coach, we have had teams throw us low and away all 2nd half." Walk "Shut up Gload, that is why you will never be a big home run hitter like our big boys, and that is why you sit on the bench, you pull baseball son or sit down"

AJP has to be the stupidest f***ing player in baseball. Had a good first half when not attempting to pull everything. Now he sucks. You would think any idiot can spot the differences in his approach.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 07:18 PM) Is this Tavarez's first start this year? 2nd start. He threw 64 pitches in his last start last week against Toronto. We can only hope he's on a pitch count.

Thanks for the explanations. Let's get Garland some runs.

Bottom 4TH B:3 S:2 O:1 Manny Ramirez lines out, pitcher Jon Garland to first baseman Paul Konerko. Gameday does not make sense on that last out.

f*** this.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 07:01 PM) Too bad they don't take the AJP/Uribe approach. Or at least the Pods "I'll strike looking but see a couple of pitches before that" approach.

Garland's looking pretty strong but already at 50 pitches or so. These bastards have a way of working the count.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 06:53 PM) I like that someone actually started a thread the other day saying how we will do really well against Boston, based on the pitching matchups. Since when did we start beating up on bad pitchers? Yeah, especially coming off a split against Tampa and KC. Never assume anything with this team.

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 06:50 PM) Tavarez is breezing through this line-up. This is unreal Not if you've watched us the last month and a half.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 06:50 PM) greg walker would probably be the first hitting coach ever to be fired after the team lead the league in AVG HR...and they even have a chance to lead in runs Von Joshua got fired mid-year 2001 after the Sox lead the league in runs in 2000. What have you done for me lately... this offense is middle of the pack 2nd half in large part due their horrible offensive approach.
