QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 7, 2006 -> 09:27 PM) Anyone who says this team has NO chance right now is just setting it up so they could act like they knew it all along if it happens. Yep. It's almost as if they take pride in seeing their team losing just to prove themselves right.

Only 3 more. This is far from insurmountable.

QUOTE(Harry&JimmyRocked @ Aug 7, 2006 -> 09:22 PM) it's a shame that too many people live in fantasyland and just cannot see the truth and look objectively. there is NOTHING that points to this team winning anything. Yes, nothing other than the team is still in the wildcard race. You act as if this team is 40 games under .500, when in reality it is still among the leagues best. The season is NOT over, and if you say so, you are only kidding yourself. This team has enough talent to make the playoffs, now they just have to do it.

QUOTE(Harry&JimmyRocked @ Aug 7, 2006 -> 09:19 PM) haha. and you think we still can catch the tigers don't u? "Only cowards and losers live in the past." it's a new year. worse team. I think that this is baseball, and anything can happen. It's not over 'til its over. Is it likely we catch the Tigers? No. But we are still in the wildcard last I checked, so this trainwreck bulls*** is just that, bulls***.

QUOTE(Harry&JimmyRocked @ Aug 7, 2006 -> 09:15 PM) Buehrle sucks this year. stop making excuses for him. and if he's hurt his ass should be on the DL and bmac starting. like i said a couple weeks ago. this team is done. accept it. it's like watching a car wreck. You probably said this last year too. What'd I miss? Just got home from work.

QUOTE(longshot7 @ Aug 7, 2006 -> 03:22 PM) I have Thome 3rd, Dye 4th, and Konerko 5th in MLB 2K6, but then again, Thome has 97 hrs in my current season. Is Jerry Owens' your starting CFer?

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Aug 7, 2006 -> 11:22 AM) Sandy's starting. That won't stop Escobar from throwing into the Sox dugout at him I forgot that Buehrle was on the mound today, good point

AJ ought to be wearing some extra protection on his elbow today.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Aug 7, 2006 -> 09:38 AM) People here are incredibly fickle. Here's a breakdown of at least the most vocal members of Soxtalk, and where they stand on the season on a particular day: After a win: Winning the Central After a loss: Winning the Wild Card After a two-game winning streak: Give us the rings. After a two-game losing streak: Playing golf in October. And if you feel offended in any way by the above chart, you most likely are a person this chart is describing. I think the "after a loss" should be changed to "missing the playoffs", although you might be right with that after 2 losses, rather than one.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 7, 2006 -> 09:43 AM) I'm still trying to figure out what the "Haha I said attendance" and "Haha I said momentum" are supposed to mean? Inside jokes? I believe he's taking shots at WSI.

QUOTE(AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 09:33 PM) Well I won't get the Sox game on Saturday because one of the local teams will be the game in my area. Which is what sucks about living in NJ. Usually I don't care since I usually work Saturday afternoons, but I'm quitting on Thursday, so I could actually watch it. Instead, its blacked out on MLB.tv and isn't shown on Fox.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 07:48 PM) Post ASB, Minny has swept KC and Tampa (not to mention us). They're taking advantage of the lesser teams. This is why I cringe when people say it's OK to just win 2 out of 3 against bad teams like Baltimore or KC. We have to sweep those teams, too (especially when we're doing so poorly against the good teams). We were coming off of a horrible, horrible slump and 2 of our best hitters (Thome, Konerko) were hurting and missed a handful of games, just as Crede just missed today's game. Considering that, we had a great roadtrip.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 05:08 PM) Oddly enough the KC Royals can be swept at home. Even in a 4 game series. Can that be done when a team's 2 best hitters are hurt? Also, whoever added this smilie scared me when I loaded up the Add Reply page

QUOTE(MarlinFan84 @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 04:27 PM) Why does your team continuously bring in old pitchers, sometimes at high cost, and let McCarthy, a stud youngin never get a chance? It doesnt make sense to me. This is the question I've been trying to find the answer to since the Vazquez trade. The best answer I could find is that KW felt that BMac needed to bulk up this year, so he went out of his way to pick up another fifth starter. Hopefully he'll deal a starter next year to make room for him.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 03:50 PM) Oh really? You thinkin' the kid y'all drafted out of LSU? I forgot his name. Joseph Addai. I think he'll have a nice year considering the o-line he's got.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 03:45 PM) Ive seen enough of Pablo for a while Looking back at all the people who wanted Pablo to be the starter over Pods makes me laugh pretty hard now (sort of like it did then )

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 03:27 PM) I see Culpepper having a huge year. I don't like Culpepper, never have, and doubt he'll do well in Miami (but as I said, I don't like him).

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 03:41 PM) He'll still start the 9th, guaranteed. know-it-all

That really didn't look like it was going out. It carried FAR. I sort of wish I heard Hawk's call

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 03:35 PM) Eddie Guardado, Huston Street, BJ Ryan, Fernando Rodney, Bob Wickman, Brad Lidge, Ryan Dempster, Jonathan Papelbon, Mariano Rivera, Chris Ray That one was so amazing in person. I still can't believe Gload did that, and I could have sworn that the outfielder caught it, or was at least incredibly close (which replays on sportscenter later proved me wrong).

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 03:33 PM) It's Pratt. And it's because we've racked up runs on nearly every "elite" closer we've faced. Thats who I thought it was, but I didn't want to look like an idiot if I was wrong

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 03:32 PM) Nice AB for Aj. Very nice. He stayed alive, and got the job done

QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 03:31 PM) While I am one to not give up until teh final out, that was a one run game in the 9th. We are looking at a 3 run deficet here. I'm gonna get the "Rally Orton" ready! Someone (can't remember who) has a long list in his sig of closers that the Sox have beaten up on this year. The game isn't over until the 27th out (or more ) is recorded.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 03:29 PM) This games over. Get em tomorrow boys Yep, we've never made BJ Ryan blow a save before.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 03:26 PM) Not I. If the search engine was on (*COUGH*), I could probably prove you wrong on this
