Way to go in ducking the reason the previous poll was closed. You should run for office with those manipulative abilities. I like the topic anyway.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 09:18 AM) I thought we hit him good before Cy Tomko came in for relief and shut us down in game one? Actually I checked and Jose Mesa was the winner. Our bullpen was also very effective in the game.

I Sense a TROLL on this board. Aren't trolls banned when they contributed nothing but venom to the boards in their first 15 posts?

QUOTE(JimH @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 08:19 AM) Jeff Torborg would be a great choice, I hope he gets it. As an aside, how did the **** in the mouth post get past our esteemed moderators? Not Sure. My posts have been deleted for less.

How about Jimmy Piersall?

Thank you. ... no, that's not a banana in his pocket, he is just happy so see him. Anyway, isn't the subject of this post getting a bit to hot for TV? I still think it would be fun to forward to Mike North though.

Here's to hoping the Royals don't dress up Cy Friggin' Young as Mike Wood Again. After the game, we feast on Slugger, that Wizard of Oz reject, acting as the Royals mascots.

On North's Morning show, he is allegedly the only Chicago baseball show in Chicago. Yet, whenever I flip through the stations he is talking about something else. Could you imagine it being a key point in the game and this goof talking about how beautiful he thinks Condi Rice is. Mike North is unitelligible and unlistenable. NO NORTH

Like winning without actually winning!

QUOTE(Mercy! @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 01:32 PM) I personally find his public negative sniping about teammates to be annoying in the extreme. But there’s a lot to like about Paulie as a player. Still, I think he just doesn’t handle pressure especially well. When he’s in one of his extended slumps, he seems to become a head case when batting with men on base. And these stats are appalling (apauling?): 2005 RISP with 2 outs .167 career RISP with 2 outs .220 On the positive side, he hasn’t been grounding into as many double plays this year. The numbers just don't lie, do they?

Because Thursday is a day game, you know it will be another "Sunday Special B-Team line up" game. Nostradamus tells the line up will look something like this: LF Perez 2B Harris CF Rowand DH Everett RF Dye 1B Blum C Widger SS Uribe 3B Ozuna

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 12:55 PM) Why not DH Pods for a few days a week and rotate Anderson and Borchard into LF? Its gets Pods a little more rest on his weary legs, and it gives us a chance to see the kids play. Actually, I think DH'ing Pods is a great idea, though he might have to adjust to the role. I would rather have Borchard, Anderson, or even Ozuna than watch Everett stumbling around out there.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 12:09 PM) I see no reason to play Carl, none at all. He has bottomed out this month, and looks damn near lost from the left side of the plate. I agree 100% about Everett depite Hawk salivating over his clutch hitting. But who do we DH then, much like most people on this board, everybody in the organization seems to hate Gload. Ozuna might not be a bad choice. Borchard and Anderson are stuck on the end of the bench as defensive replacements. They are just like the scrolling background in a Flintstone's cartoon to Ozzie.

QUOTE(WHITESOXRANDY @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 11:40 AM) ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS SPLIT WITH CLEVELAND ! I say if Ozzie plays the Cleveland series as though it were the playoffs, then we would win and it would be a good test. The question is with the way Cleveland has been playing and the poor pitching and hitting we have received, can we split with Cleveland?

Hate to rain on this otherwise sunny day, but two papers (Orange County Register and Riverside Press Enterprise) and reporting that the Angels may be planning to make a strong bid for Paul Konerko's service in 2006. Talking about adding insult to injury. From Orange County Register ADDING POP? The White Sox have said they will wait until the end of the season to begin extension talks with slugging first baseman Paul Konerko, who has bashed 37 home runs this season. That could leave an opening for the Angels to sign the free agent, who is reportedly seeking a 3-4-year deal for $9million to $12million a year. The Angels went into Sunday 10th in the American League in home runs. "As far as a guy who's tough with guys in scoring position, he's near the top of the list," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said of Konerko. "He's tough." Adding a first baseman could cause the Angels to shift Darin Erstad back to center field this winter. But so could the presence of Casey Kotchman, who has hit seven home runs since his Aug.4 recall from Triple-A. "Kotch is obviously an exciting young player, but we're not looking at anything past the next 2-3 weeks," Scioscia said.

QUOTE(Hermanson32 @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 06:56 AM) In everyone's opinion, does Ozzie need to do what the Angels did to us this weekend and basically put out the same lineup everyday to start beating teams. This being his A-lineup. Or should Ozzie shake it up a bit and play some different people every day? My lineup opinion for entire week LF Pods 2B Gooch DH Everett 1B Konerko CF Rowand RF Dye C AJ SS Uribe 3B Crede/Ozuna I think the only interchangeable guys should be Crede and Ozuna. What you are suggesting makes WAY TO MUCH SENSE. I look for Ozzito have Timo leading off Tuesday with Blum at Third to continue the further downward spiral. Personally, I like the idea of playing all of the September call ups.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 05:08 PM) According to another post, Ozzie said Duque will make his next start.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 05:04 PM) Play all the subs on Tuesday. Send a message to this f'n team. But Ozzie might interpret this as being able to play Timo since he practically plays as often as a starter

"Mentally Regroup" Somebody que the Three Stooges Theme Music.

How long will Ozzie stay in Florida? How about til november.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 04:48 PM) I got excited when I saw Guillen and fired in the same sentence! Me too. Krusty the Clown would be just as entertaining of a manager as Ozzie and perhaps the same baseball acumen.

As much as I hate this terrible music. Ozzie, remember they played music when the Titanic was sinking. Get serious and put the best team on the field to win.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 04:26 PM) But I thought pitching and defense wins championships and you could win a game 0-0. Only in the Ozzie Guillen school of management.

Don't tell. But it is hard to win when you don't score.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 04:12 PM) Wow, if he did say something along the lines that McCarthy didn't have a lot of success today, there might be a riot on soxtalk. Got you riot gear? I think you should get ready. He is going to say it. You and I both know it.
