G&T

I posted what he said on the Score.

KW still likes the core of the team, but they sputtered through the season. Only tweaking needed. He will talk to Ozzie about the subbing, but he is commited to playing the entire roster so they can win with the bench. It worked last year and overall he makes the right moves. Nobody was just going through the motions, these are high character guys. Some guys might have minor injuries that nobody knows about and that can cause them to look like they aren't trying. (No names) Late season problems are an issue that comes up every year for this team, and he knows that. If this team played decent, they would have won 100 games. The entire team needs to be assessed and upgrades will be considered, but speed is not easy to come by (Pods). Uribe is a great talent and he can hit with RISP. But the numbers don't matter as much as getting the right players to fit the team and make them complete. They don't want to make moves that will make them worse. There are no favorites on this team. They have let major players go and sentimentality won't be a part of it. He's happy about Frank, and thinks it probably has to do with all the things that came out. Franks a good guy. KW can't watch the playoffs without being sick BMac and all the young guys will have the full oportunities to be on the team. Nothing is guarantee. Rob Mackowiac played too much center. They feel like they let the fans down after all the great things everyone said last year, and he's sick. _____ Obviously there's only so much he can say about players right now obviously. He sounded pissed, to be honest.

The Score does, at 670thescore.com I don't know about 1000

He's going to be on the Score too.

ESPN

Reported on the Score and NSBB is loving it. There was a press conference I guess, but I can't seem find much else.

Is there a reason why MLB.tv is blacked out for this game? I thought it was suposed to be played.

I've seen 2 innings of BMac and he looks very good.

QUOTE(SnB @ Sep 26, 2006 -> 01:51 AM) Hoping to god the phillies make it so I can have one likeable team in this thing. Totally agree. Nowadays I have to live in New York, so everyone thinks I'm wearing a Red Sox hat all the time even though they know I'm from Chicago. Anyways, this will be a long October.

QUOTE(Soxy @ Sep 25, 2006 -> 11:34 AM) IF Six flags gives in (highly unlikely), then it will be pandering to the minority. Politically correct though? Please. There is nothing political about eating a stupid cockroach. Six Flags isn't giving in. In fact, they love the attention they are getting from all the controversy. The cockroaches are actually Madagascar Hissing cockroaches that have been bread for eating so they don't make people sick. My girlfriend is a publicist for Great America, I know way too much about this whole thing.

I thought the 95K stadium would remain to the extent that it can hold a Super Bowl or other major events. I really doubt it would chopped down to 20K. Although there would have to be more use than that. Chicago needs a serious transportation makeover, and if this is the only it gets done then I guess that's the way it has to be.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 24, 2006 -> 03:01 PM) So he's talking out of both sides of his mouth again as it appears the player's personal stats are more important than the development of young players. It was funny to read this morning that Ozzie said he won't be watching the playoffs because he'll be jealous of the teams still playing. Didn't he just go off on Magglio because Magglio was quoted as saying the Sox would be jealous if Detroit was in the playoffs and the Sox were at home? I think Ozzie got mad at that quote because it was relayed to him as Ozzie is jealous of Mags, but with nothing to do with playoffs. They actually talk it over before one of the games once Ozzie found out that a reporter changed the quote.

By the time Trade Winds officially re-opens and KW makes his first move, this season will be nearly forgotten. That's the way most fans work.

I'd like to point out that this same team that scored 9 nines against the Angels with no homers. If the Sox had a lead off hitter that could get on consistently, this would be a more consistent offense.

Nicely pitched by Garland.

Man on second, 1 out.

Nice 1-2-3 inning after allowing 2 runs.

Mags flies out. Inning over.

Casey strikes out, 2 out, man on second.

Ivan strikes out. 1 out, man on second.

Granderson doubles, 2-0. No outs.

Tigers take 1-0 lead, Inge with a double scoring Thames. It's all Inge so far.

QUOTE(shaneomacfan @ Sep 20, 2006 -> 08:43 PM) Thank you, hopefully the guys can break through for Jonny Well I'd say tat was tough luck but Inge has been picking it. Speaking of which, Uribe almost made an incredible play basically in left field.

QUOTE(shaneomacfan @ Sep 20, 2006 -> 08:40 PM) Could someone update for me please? I'm in Iowa City and the game's blacked out on ESPN, and I'm kinda superstitious about checking it out on espn.com... Inge made a great DP and now the Sox are out. No score.

QUOTE(Felix @ Sep 20, 2006 -> 08:37 PM) Thats not what I was saying. I was asking what the point of saying that was? It's almost as if you are looking for reasons to be negative. Pointing out the obvious is not looking for a reason to be negative.
