BACK TO BACK TO BACK WERE ALIVE DYE WITH A HIT.

QUOTE(beck72 @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 06:17 PM) Even with the horrible play of late, the sox have me more encouraged that they'll get it out of their system before the playoffs start and be ready for October. Sure, there are the doubters who worry the Indians and Twins may yet overtake the sox. But IMO, the sox pitching is strong enough that the offense will score enough runs to keep the AL Central teams at bay. today was a prime example of why the sox should be OK. Before, when the sox couldn't buy a hit or get on base by standing on the plate, I wasn't so sure. But they had the scoring chances, had guys on base. They execute, they win. It didn't happen today. Yet even at their worst, they still were in the ballgame. Up and down the lineup, most of the guys are at their obsolute worst hitting wise--avg, OBP, SLG, situational hitting, working pitchers. They can't get any worse if they tried. This collective funk will pass. All it takes is one game to get over it. It's not like in years past where you'd feel the sox were overmatched, and unable to mount a serious threat against even weak teams. Against possible playoff opponents who've been playing good ball, the sox, at their obsloute worst, have been in the games. They get back to playing the unselfish team game, working pitchers, playing solid defense, they'll be ready for the playoffs.

QUOTE(knightni @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 04:27 PM) You are as superstitious as a Cubs fan. "Oh God, teh Sox must be loosing cuz someone posted a thread on soxtalk.com about the Indians being lousy!" Get over it. ...and yet you took then dancing magic numbers out of your signiture

we have a longer losing streak then the royals

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 03:33 PM) A few questions I cannot tell from being at the game... -Did El Duque miss 1st? -Whose fault was the blown DP? el duque got first and i didnt see the other one

QUOTE(mooja @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 03:30 PM) anybody know who's going to be free agents on the sox after this year? Konerko and Thomas. Crede and garland are eligible for arbitration.

we suck

In the 16 days that this thread has been around the lead has went form 15-9 LOCK THIS THREAD DELETE IT do what you have to do. Seriously mods lock it see what happens

Thats it im done witht he positivity that ive been showing during this streak. THIS TEAM f***ING BLOWS!

Duque gets a bonus if he goes 5 2/3 today because he meant the IP thing in his contract. He is pitching storng. Maybe we should offer him bonus everyday.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 12:48 PM) How did Duque not get tossed there? He was on the verge of it very close.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 12:39 PM) BTW, Iguchi is now 5 for his last 34. Also, that Everett ball looked like it was fair. Anyone see a better angle? It was alittle sunny where it landed so you really cant tell from that view.

That looked just alittle fair let see another view

QUOTE(UC76 @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 10:55 AM) 1. Ask around. People who aren't diehard Sox fans. When do you hear Hawk's name mentioned as some great, likeable TV guy? It isn't. By anyone - except Sox fans. SOME Sox fans. 2. OK, you're using ticket sales numbers of a franchise notorious for low ticket sales. 3. I used my mom as an example of someone with absolutely no prior or prejudiced opinion. What's wrong with that? That actually makes perfect sense. Maybe you think it would be better if I asked someone who already hated Hawk or liked him. Yeah, that would make sense. 4. Paciorek? I've heard it. I bet plenty of others on here have heard it as well. I'm not making anything up. And I SAID that I HEARD it. I didn't say it was fact. 5. He's grooming DJ? Hahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!! Good one. Whatever. Get in the $%$#@ booth and do your job and stop stuffing your face with free food. Grooming DJ? I'm laughing here. 6. I never said Hawk's GM skills = broadcasting skills. I mentioned it as a completely unrelated topic within the same post. It's called a tangent. 7. I never mentioned my "Cubs fan buddies." Try reading the post. I mentioned baseball fans who aren't Sox fans. I'd say their opinion is pretty objective. And they don't hate Hawk. They just say he's boring and dull and repeats the same hamburgers over and over. 1. you said yourself you were asking cubs fans. 2. you got me there 3. you already said that she watched the cubs more often which shows her opinion is one of a biased cubs fab 4. Nobody knows what happened 5. THIS MAKES ME LAUGH HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!! In case you didn't realize Hawk is old and DJ is young Hawk is helping DJ with his future career if you noticed during those "breaks" that hawk usually says a word here and there which shows he isn't in the back stuffing his face with food. 6. Then why go on the tangent? STICK TO THE TOPIC 7. Usually those baseball fans are going to be somewhat biased I'm sure there fans of some team ask someone who knows nothing about baseball.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 11:12 AM) Damn EA! They couldn't compete with the 2k series, so they bought the NFL rights. This Madden game is bad. The players look cartoonish. On All-Pro mode, you can't give up points, I'm throwing for 300 yards a game with Chad Hutchinson... come on! The game is decent, but monopolizing the NFL license was a horrible thing, and you would think that EA could do SOMETHING with presentation. There is no pre-game, no halftime, it's just pathetic. The whole radio show/newspaper thing is so generic it is killing me. MADDEN = POTTY. im glad there is no pretime and halftime all that does is waste time.

Kevin Wheeler Im probaly the only person who gets this

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 11:17 PM) A speed player coming off of a groin injury doesn't exact equate to a lot of success coming out of the gates. Hopefully, other players on our team will pick it up, and Pods won't have so much pressure on him. thats what im hoping happens i just answering someones question.

So what your saying is we should kill everybody on the white sox because there not winning?

QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 11:10 PM) our offense is pathetic. we might not win the division now. in fact i bet we get swept by the yankees and go into the baggy dome with our tales between our legs. many cub fans are mocking me saying we are the repeat of the '69 Cubs. And sadly im starting to be scared that something like that can happen. When does Pods come back? september 1st

QUOTE(Sox Hustler @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 11:03 PM) LOL ok did he really say this guys or is this a joke?? no he said that

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 11:00 PM) Go to soxfest this is what you will hear. This INSERT YEAR HERE Whitesox team is the best team that I have seen here yet. INSERT STRATEGY/SMARTBALL/POWER/COMBO is the reason we will be sucessfull. Kenny Williams is the smartest man in baseball. INSERT YEAR HERE is the best Soxfest yet. Trust me I know but this year is defiantly the worse I mean crede over A-rod

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 10:56 PM) Normally, that is true. But Hawk has become like a senile grandma right now who only cheers for her kid (even though she's naive to the fact that maybe he's not the best player), and blames the umpire for every close call that doesn't go their way. I have noticed this and my respect for hawk is slowly droping he is in love with this team to much.

QUOTE(knightni @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 11:12 PM) Ronald secretly posts as SoxFan1 on soxtalk.com. LMFAO!!!
