QUOTE(ChiSOXin05 @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 11:33 AM) Hello all, I am a new poster to this forum. I usually post on the whitesox.com forum and read the soxtalk.com forum. I first want to say Congrats to the SOX for a great season. OK now if any of you are going to a Playoff game. We need to get as many people to start the GO GO GO chant anytime we get a player on base (even Konerko) It would be great to have 40,000 plus chanting GO GO GO and watch how the pitchers react. So If you go, get everyone around you to join in. java script:emoticon(':bringit') smilie I'll ne there and will pass the word around.

Congrats to the Sox and lets keep it going in the playoffs... great job guys.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 08:17 PM) nope it happened in 01 with Houston and St. Louis. St.Louis won the Central because of their head-to-head advantage and Houston won the WC. Josh is right Sox win tomorrow they ate Central champs..... Go Sox

Anderson >>> Rowand

Great to see are future CF doing some damage. hellz ya

Interesting..

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 04:26 PM) You made the claim we had the worst offensive OF in baseball. Recent struggles and injuries have 0 to do with that. Podsednik-Rowand-Dye is far from the worst OF in baseball. Timo plays the outfiled as well. Pods , Dye and Rowand have been in a funk for a while now... so your saying that you would take there production on any given day?

Maybe we need Harris to come up and light up the big leagues like he has done in the past. :puke

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 04:23 PM) Ya it's definitely the worst I mean... White Sox CF'ers are 16th in the majors in OPS White Sox LF'ers are 18th in the majors in OBP White Sox RF'ers are 14th in the majors in OPS Ya that's no doubt the worst in the bigs...wake up and stop saying untrue s*** pal. OPS... what has that done lately. Middle of the pack... take a look at the overall offensive responsibility. Pal.

"Not even close. God that's a ridiculous statement. Am I sayin these guys are studs? No. But that's just insane. When your LF leads the MLB in steals and has an OBP around .350, and your RF is 3rd in the MLB in HR's, and your CF hits over .275...you do NOT have the worst hitting OF"

When you have the worst hitting outfield in baseball what do you expect? If it wasnt for Iguchi we would have the worst hitting team period. Man i miss Maggs... Rowand can go and be a so called future gold glover somewhere else.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 09:15 PM) This is a very sad offense to watch right now, plain and simple. KW HAS to get another bat or 2, or this dream season could end up in disaster. They will pitch around that bat or 2... if they are decent. the rest of the team is bad..... not hard to pitch around 2 guys. Dont wast talent for the same result.

QUOTE(WSNS-TV44 @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 10:01 AM) I hope you don't mean Terrell Owens! I vote "Other" because sure they still have the pitching (barring a bad inning or two).But they need that one bat for a offensive spark.Can you say Griffey at DH? it's hilarious if you think thats all we need 1 bat. If he comes he will be the only guy to hit, we need 8 other hitters... its a team game not a one man show. Teams will just pitch around him, not rocket science.

No kidding..

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 08:43 PM) I don't really want to bring this up, but I gotta ask, where do you think we'd be with Magglio on our team? He was our best hitter but sometimes the buisness aspect ruins a good thing. When Frank Thomas says "he's the best hitter he's seen " you know he aint bulls***ting. Maggs would help but I belive we would be in the same hole where in now... because maggs would be the only one hitting and we would still be looking to add a bat or 2. We just need to play with the cards we have and make the best of it... hopefully in the offseason we correct a few things to make our offense consitant and then work on trying to make it lethal. Right now its just plain pathetic.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 08:41 PM) Jerry Reinsdorf has said to KW that the purse strings were open this year. He's said that he'd value a White Sox championship more than all those titles with the Bulls. I'd like to think he means it. We need that bat. You know 1 thing that probably really is hurting us as well? The simple intimidation factor. There's just no one in our lineup that is really really frightening when you look at it on paper. Konerko's close, dye is when he's on fire, but other than that...who's there that you don't want to face? Wake up... we need more than 1 bat!

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 08:03 PM) Since July 1 IP H R K BB RA/9 Mark Buehrle 59.0 73 39 30 14 5.95 Oh boy, hes smoking vs the AL playoff contenders.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 08:00 PM) Not sure if you were there, but do you remember when I said that we shouldn't be too pissed if this team fails to go far if they make the playoffs? There's absolutely no reason to think that this was THE YEAR for the White Sox. It's not like we've geared up our whole franchise for this one season. It's not like we have more talent than every other team in baseball. Our pitching has overachieved so much this season, and our offense has underachieved. However, since all you have to do is score 1 or 2 runs when your pitching dominates, we were able to feast on s***ty teams in the first half of the year. I've made the comment before, 14 out of the last 15 World series winners are good hitting teams.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 07:59 PM) booya Look at the bright side... we still have a future gold glover in CF....

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 07:58 PM) cause the sox are "en fuego!" LOL

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 07:57 PM) Is there no one we can get to fill in as a leadoff hitter? Is Rickey Henderson still playing in one of those indie leagues? I believe he still is.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 07:57 PM) you weak weak man Weak , Our offense is beyond weak.

QUOTE(SpringfieldFan @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 07:54 PM) Yeah, I see the light there. Until now I was holding hope KW would surprise us and snare him. If the team is going to be like this, I don't want to waste the talent and dollars it would take just to get the Griffey band-aid. SFF To reality and logic

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 07:50 PM) Did you see that? Aaron's Amigos !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They still believe. Good guys, sat in row 2 behind them a couple of times, Funny fellas.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 07:49 PM) Sweet Jesus we need another bat in this lineup. I almost wish Carl hadn't gotten the hit. Being No-Hit might wake up either KW or JR and convince them to really go ahead and make a move. 1 bat will not fix this... anyone that thinks that griffey will save this offense needs to be checked.
