QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 09:23 PM) When we face the Twins next weekend Santana's going to no-hit us. FIXED

What a pitiful way to end the season. They should be ashamed of themselves.

QUOTE(SoxHawk1980 @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 09:17 PM) Don't blame Konerko. He's tired/hurt. You don't KNOW what is going on with the team.

Back to back 120+ pitch games for Vazquez. I thought our team was tired.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 07:15 PM) 7:30 Thanks. I'll be logging off soon.

OMG!! Santana is not invincible. Down 4-0 in Boston.

QUOTE(SinkingShip06 @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 06:50 PM) Looks like Boston found a way to bead Santana. BUNT Bead Santana? Is he flashing his chest?

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 06:39 PM) Screw this. I'll be watching The Office. What time is it on? 8?

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 12:46 PM) My whole point was, and continues to be, all you know it alls (and don't take offense, anyone... if the shoe fits, wear it, if not, don't) don't KNOW what's going on. There's a lot that could be the reason for our "collapse" of being 20 games over .500 when we should have won 115 games on paper. Well then we should close the board down since we can't comment on anything. Afterall none of us know what's really going on.

Although I am annoyed with the results they did remain competitive until the final weeks. I'll never forget 2005. Hopefully the drive will be there next year.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 08:14 AM) Hmmm, and with a $200 million payroll you also have the ability to go out and buy new players every year too, which they did, repeatedly. (Hi Bobby Abreu!) From 98-99 only 1 change in the 9 man lineup and it was the DH. In 2000 there were 2 changes from the previous season. (Source: baseball almanac. I went by the player who had the most starts at each position for that year.) 1998 Yankee starters: C Jorge Posada 1B Tino Martinez 2B Chuck Knoblauch 3B Scott Brosius SS Derek Jeter LF Chad Curtis CF Bernie Williams RF Paul O'Neill DH Darryl Strawberry 1999 Yankee starters: C Jorge Posada 1B Tino Martinez 2B Chuck Knoblauch 3B Scott Brosius SS Derek Jeter LF Chad Curtis CF Bernie Williams RF Paul O'Neill DH Chili Davis 2000 Yankee starters: C Jorge Posada 1B Tino Martinez 2B Chuck Knoblauch 3B Scott Brosius SS Derek Jeter LF Ricky Ledee CF Bernie Williams RF Paul O'Neill DH Shane Spencer

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 21, 2006 -> 07:45 AM) How many of those guys played an extra month of baseball last year? That's a lame excuse. The Yankee teams that made the World Series almost every year a few years back played an extra month every season.

Congrats to the 25K man! Do you get a prize for that? Maybe some Soxtalk parting gifts?

QUOTE(Bhay99 @ Sep 20, 2006 -> 07:42 PM) crede ripped that ball, cant fault him for that....just the way things have been going the last couple months My bad. Following via gameday.

Crede has been the anti-clutch lately. But who hasn't been?

Lupe Fiasco album is solid. There's even a little Sox logo on the cover. Represent!

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Sep 20, 2006 -> 07:13 PM) Game thread could not be more dead if it were 1988. I think Becker is on or something.

Accoriding to the homepage Estaban Loaiza pitches against us next.

Here we go again.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 18, 2006 -> 09:52 PM) Kenny Rogers sure looked good for a guy who supposedly can't pitch in the second half of a season. Someone forgot to inform White Sox hitters of this. I can't believe you left the game so early. We can still come back. We have the best 3-4-5 hitters in the game.

Congrats to the Tiger fans who frequent this board. Your team has had a helluva year. Good luck in the post season.

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Sep 18, 2006 -> 09:36 PM) To quote from years past: Can't we just get along people? Jarry Manual Jarry?

That's the kind of meaningless HR Thomas bashers hated.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 18, 2006 -> 09:04 PM) So we ph for Anderson, and not Uribe when we have a dugout full of lefties? Manager of the year!

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 18, 2006 -> 08:48 PM) I'm convinced AJP is the most overrated player in baseball. I am embarassed I voted so many times for him for that last All Star position.
