The Ginger Kid

no walks

suck it up, shut the rest down

pk looks a little hobbled - i guess he tweaked an ankle hitting first base in that last game.

javy - please do this all day

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 06:51 PM) They are that Naive. All I've heard all week is how they are going to sweep the dodgers blah blah blah. Can't wait until the World Series starts, blah blah blah. wow. i'm not saying this series is over, the cubs are very talented and well coached. but the dodgers have been playing some solid ball over the last month. they're not going to be lying down.

damn that crowd was DEAD tonight. didn't even try to pump up the cubs at the top of an inning. are they really in shock? are they so naive as to think it would be easy?

Kent is such a dick.

im plo sion

hee hee - i have tickets to sunday's dodger game (if necessary) -- i'm thinking it won't be.

ramirez is such a great hitter.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 03:25 PM) They wouldn't have sent him, as Cuddyer wouldn't have moved into 3rd base on Anderson, as he did with Griffey. And I completely agree with IlliniKrush. anderson could've easily uncorked one of those airmail throws to the backstop that we've seen him toss. you act as if his arm strikes fear into opposing teams. Anderson is a legend...on soxtalk.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 03:32 PM) Which is really ignorant, as Wise is terrible on defense. He plays extremely deep, yet he's terrible on plays near the wall. that and the fact that this is not a "speed" team - it relies on power and having guys on base to maximize it. At least Swisher can make a pitcher work and get on base with a walk.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 03:10 PM) I like it, aside from Wise starting in LF. I give a lot of credit to what he did for us down the stretch, but his true colors are coming out, which was to be expected. Get Nick back into the lineup, hopefully have him finish the season on a really positive note. i so agree with this. i can't believe how much weight a few good games is carrying.

i remember a very good AL team, youngest in the MLB that year, who wound up with the best record in the league heading into the playoffs. Sadly, the 2000 White Sox got swept in the first round.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Sep 30, 2008 -> 06:21 PM) Hey Ozzie... Great call bringing the outfielders in for the final out, allowing Brian Anderson to seal a division title. Thanks, Your true fans. yes, if this is an ozzie appreciation thread, then i would like to add my congrats on great managing. funny...but things seem to be falling together at just the right time.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Sep 30, 2008 -> 10:11 AM) Wear a tuxedo condom tonight, or don't bother wearing any at all. If you bear a masculine child, name him Alexi. nice godfather reference. speaking of which, does anyone know if Konerko's wife had her baby yet? I thought she was scheduled to deliver yesterday but they postponed it.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 30, 2008 -> 12:22 AM) I missed another start of Danks against MN. 2 IP, 7 H, 7 ER, 0 BB, 3 K's Overall, 2-2 against Twins...ERA in the stratosphere, which is the same as Blackburn's recently. So who knows...? Relax, sit back and strap er down....although no relaxing tonight I don't think. he needs to dig deep and get it done. if gavin and buehrle's last performance can't motivate you, nothing will.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 05:03 PM) Yup,that got under my skin,watching them celebrating like they just won the WS,stupid move because they didn t count on the possiblity of facing the Sox again?We have owned them at the Cell so it s looking good for us. and the thought of them celebrating at the cell would make for a very, very long winter.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 05:17 PM) There's a couple guys on this team who just decided to say "That's ok guys, we got it" the last 2 days. would love to see thome become one of those guys - i think he had yet another hat trick today. in a HUGE game no less.

i think tomorrow is going to be like the first game of the alds in 05 - a laugher for the sox. Not feeling cocky, just think blackburn was less than impressive in minny and on the road? hammer

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 05:05 PM) This is going to be one of the all time most uncomfortable interviews right here. Wow. i thought it was pretty cool
