Oh Jeez. It is practically a tie game right now.

the dreaded 6th inning

QUOTE(G&T @ Sep 10, 2006 -> 02:07 PM) I was just checking out the Twins/Tiger's game and if I hear one more reference to piranhas, I'm gonna be sick. I propose we have a fish fry here at SoxTalk. Are piranhas good eating?

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 10, 2006 -> 02:00 PM) Sandy's a much better hitter than Stewart at this time though. That's not saying a lot for either.

In a related note, I hope having a 3rd catcher on the roster will signify Sandy's last game behind the plate.

2-0 Twins. The central could get a lot tighter by the end of the day.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 10, 2006 -> 01:42 PM) Frank Thomas is on an absolute tear. It would be nice if he cools off before we face him next weekend. It would be extra special if he compensated for his upcoming cold streak against the Sox by tearing the Twins a new and extra sore one.

Crede doing his Brooks Robinson impression again.

Light It Up! 2-0 Iguchi getting hot would be big too.

Vaz pitching well down the stretch would be HUGE!

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 04:29 PM) Good to see Sweeney playing, but I'd rather have him playing for Pods. Did BA sleep with Ozzie's wife or something? In the first half when he was slumping, Ozzie would not take BA out of the line up. Now that BA looks like an actually player, BA is getting treated like "the other man".

I was gonna say that they all have funny first names especially "Some".

No reason that Sweeney should not be our starting LF the rest of the year, ... except the fact that Ozzie is stubborn as a mule.

Gooch will A ) POP OUT B ) K Crede will A ) POP OUT B ) K Thome will A ) POP OUT B ) K and just in case ... Konerko is A ) already planning how to hit into his next double play B ) Running extra slow because of the extra weight from his championship ring

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 08:09 PM) Does it really matter? The ninth will include three batters swinging for the fences that will either K or pop out. So know it really does not matter.

One game and I am convinced Sweeney >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> pods

Just when you think the sox could not look any worse in a loss, they have to go and top themselves by getting swept in a series to the team that I thought was colder than the White Sox. Whoops.

Standardized Test Reasoning. Evaluate the Left Field Situation. Statement 1 Defense is a wash. Statement 2 Pablo is a better hitter than Pods. Conclusion Pods should sit on the bench while Pablo plays.

I really think Konerko would find a way to hit into a DP with the bases empty.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 07:43 PM) Ozzie did that too much earlier in the year, and people close to the team seem to believe that he's lost his edge with the players. And would "those people" suggest Ozzie current approach is working? Not that I disagree with what you said Fathom.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 07:39 PM) Bench Iguchi. That's just terrible fundamentals. I love how Crede can't hit a fly ball in a fly ball situation, when he's been the king of pop ups lately. Doing something like this, embarassing a player the way Ozzie USED TO throw players under the bus, might put a sense of urgency in these players.

Sweeney is already our best hitter ... by default.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 04:32 PM) So two notorious optimistic posters are arguing about who said this team sucks first? Mercy, this ship is really sinking. It only took a couple of hours for the Titanic to go down.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 04:28 PM) No he didn't. He did mention that with only 3 homers, that particular stat is quite troubling. Particularly since the primary job of the lead off man are to put the ball in play and get on base.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 04:25 PM) Melton just mentioned that Pods is 2nd in baseball at taking a 3rd strike. I don't know if I'm more surprised he's still considered a lead-off man, or that someone has actually been caught looking more. BTW, Papi is back on Tuesday. Did he say who #1 is? I suspect that it is not a lead off man.
