QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 09:16 PM) When's the last time the opposition threw a ball away at first base against us? Sometime during the Clinton years.

Would love to see Soriano PH here.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 09:13 PM) You mean the parts of it that are left? Touche

We need to tie it here. For my sanity.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 08:49 PM) BIG INNING11!!!!! Don't ever tell me Contreras is comparable with Santana. And of course, who's the person responsible for a bad pitch during a close game but one of our pitchers. Santana was barely better today.

I loathe Joey Cora.

Splendid

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 08:34 PM) Gooch's first game last year against santana he put the pall in play real well. Then after that he was done. Perhaps he started listening to Greg Walker after that game.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 08:28 PM) feels like I'm just waiting around to watch minny score again and put the nail in the coffin. I hate feeling like this. No doubt. Doesn't matter who's on the mound for our opponent. Seems like we have little chance to get more than 3 runs per game.

I see the 4 hours of praying on my flight back to Chicago have not gotten the deal to go through yet. Come on Kenny! Make it happen.

QUOTE(Princess Dye @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 12:51 PM) i like how people are laying down the truth in the last couple posts. Colbert would be proud. I feel the truthiness in this thread.

He was probably fired because it was his job to take down the 'Soriano to the Sox' article and he left it up for too long.

Was just sent this link from someone: http://fireozzie.blogspot.com/

This team will be fine. Lots of good teams go through slumps. Once the offense starts getting locked in we will go on a tear. (trying to remain positive but it's really difficult)

Anyone think Ozzie has lost this team? This almost reminds me of Tony Pena's short stint with the Royals. The team seems very unresponsive.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 10:23 PM) Ozzie just said the quote that governs his decisions I want to give my starters the best opportunity to win the game. Well thanks Oz, but as the manager maybe you can worry more about geting the team a win. Screw your starters and their personal stats. This is a team game. There is something very wrong with his line of thinking. He should be getting a lot more crap over this line of thinking than he does.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 10:06 PM) On Espnnews alert window, it says CHW close to Soriano trade............I hope so That's probably been there for 7 hours.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 09:52 PM) And we will get some silly Ozzieifed lineup. We'll get an all righty lineup tomorrow even though that never works against Santana.

I can't wait to tell my grandkids this story some day: "Children, back in 2005 the White Sox had a magical season. They won the World Series for the first time in 88 years. The following year we all thought they would do better but their general manager traded for a played called Javier '$hitty pitcher' Vazquez. We called him that because he was a $hitty pitcher."

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 09:37 PM) Something to make you guys chuckle: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/player/profile?playerId=148900 Good stuff.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 09:36 PM) "Vazquez can build on this start after looking great for the first 5 innings..." They might as well play a recording of that for every Vazquez outing.

What's the crowd like? I'm following via gameday. Any boos?

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 09:31 PM) The percentage of outs that have been pulled or popped up tonight. 90% Greg Walker rocks.

Thank God I won't be able to see tomorrow's game.

I remember the good old days. When the Sox were able to win 2 games in a row.
