QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 08:13 PM) Seeing Ramirez play left field is comical. Seeing him and Ortiz hit vs Us is comical

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 06:58 PM) Right, that's why all the geniuses on this site who want Anderson called up right now with a 12 game lead to have him sit on the bench for the most part will be the same guys who will scream when he files for free agency early. If you call him up, he better be playing. There's a thing called arbitration.. and long term contracts.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 06:56 PM) I'm scouting the Little League game on ESPN to see if there's any possible replacements for Crede, Timo, and Ozuna. My brother coaches a great 9 year old 3rd baseman that can field and hit.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 06:50 PM) Ozzie fails to remove Garland prior to this inning, so as if one cue, he surrenders another run. I suppose now we'll score 4 runs and fall short the one given up this inning. we'll be lucky to score 1.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 06:46 PM) Ozzie and KW are responsible for what's in our stable right now. Just look at what guys like Francoeur have done for the Braves this year. Why not allow Brian Anderson the chance to contribute to the MLB team. We desperately need some right handed power off of the bench. Dude .. I was gonna post the same thing, but decided not to. Braves have 11 rookies on the team. 4 on Offense that are every day players... they produce given the chance. Sox are always gun shy on bringing prospects to the majors , unless they are on fire in the Minors. Great point Fathom

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 06:43 PM) Let me introduce you to Corey Patterson. Amen

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 06:41 PM) Ok, I'm ready to get bashed for being negative, but am I the only one who feels like we're just trying to survive the rest of the season with our lead? In a way, we're playing not to lose? I just get the sense that Ozzie is praying we can just coast the rest of the way without it becoming a race. Ozzie can only do with what he has in his stable. In regards to that.. Timo needs to be turned to glue and get a Bat with some pop in there.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 06:40 PM) I have seen teams where a guy or two get cold. But not entire groups of our players at once. This is mays offensive struggles all over again. Hopefully they pick up someone. Or we are toast in the playoffs. Sad but true.

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 06:38 PM) We have a better pen, better rotation, and score more runs. Can we score some soon?

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 06:36 PM) the angels are the most beatable team IMO Im sure , those temas are saying that about our Juggernaut offensive team as well.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 06:34 PM) Remember when people on this board were predicting that we shouldnt be worried about Boston because their pitching staff isnt good and good pitching beats good hitting. Well our pitching outside of 1 game hasnt shut down their good hitting so far. The road to the WS goes through Boston. Hopefully the Angels win the WC and we face them in the first round. We can walk Vlad. And let the Bosox and A's beat up on each other. The Angels can score runs and have decent pitching.. not to mention a great bullpen. We need to hit or like D.J. says... Bye, bye

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 06:33 PM) Good, strong, solid, productive, monster inning. LOL

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 06:31 PM) Crede is f***ing trash So is Blum. Its a no win situation.. rather have Credes glove in there.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 06:26 PM) While they had two great starters, I wouldn't say their offense sucked. They did have a guy with almost 60 homers in their lineup that season. Yeah, when I read that Article I was pretty surprised. 14 of the last 15 Champs have been hitting teams.

Just to much pressure on our pitchers... they know they need to shut down the other team completely.. due to our offense. Takes them out of there routine.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 06:25 PM) Who would that be? Diamond backs I believe.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 06:23 PM) Haven't you heard? Good pitching will always defeat good hitting--except when it applies to games such as tonight. Then the excuses turn to how great of a hitting lineup Boston has. No one can admit they're not concerned how Garland and Buehlre have pitched these last two games. Only 1 top 10 pitching staff (team) has won the World series in last 15 years.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 06:22 PM) Isn't it time for Hawk to say the White Sox offense is superior to the Red Sox? our Double A offense is better than what we got.

Go Hurricanes. Univ. of Miami

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 11:26 AM) 3 vs. Tampa 3 vs. Texas 3 vs. Baltimore 4 @ Tampa 3 @ Toronto 3 vs. Detroit 3 @ Minnesota 3 @ Detroit 3 vs. Minnesota 3 vs. Oakland 3 vs. KC 3 @ Sox 4 @ KC 3 vs. Tampa 3 @ Sox Whoa...ten against the D-Rays? 7 against the Royals? 15 more against the scuffling Orioles, Tigers and Twins? The only playoff bound teams are Oakland, who they have at home, and us. Wow, they could go on a serious roll here...maybe this division isn't as secure as we thought... EDIT: sorry, slightly off...forgot one royals game Looks like our schedule in the 1st half of the season.

QUOTE(Benchwarmerjim @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 05:50 PM) I LOOOVE the Truck Stick. Sometimes Ill go for a trucking of the safety instead of going for a touchdown. lol I still am having troubles with the passing deal and I am confused on the buttons. Totally different (on xbox at least) from the 05 version The X boxs only down fall, is that damn controller configuration.

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 10:02 AM) good teams make their own breaks. Correct. here's to more solid play on defense and to wake them bats up.
