QUOTE(CWSOX45 @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 08:48 PM) In case you haven't noticed, this team is 20 games over .500. That's why I have faith. They have shown us they can win games, and they can win A LOT. So to write them off right now is just plain stupid. Do what you want. all you can offer is "Faith" i guess i need proof

QUOTE(Felix @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 08:46 PM) They are in first place for the wild card. OMG YOU'RE RIGHT! I WAS WRONG

QUOTE(CWSOX45 @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 08:45 PM) Okay we get it. With all due respect, why are you even watching the game if you're convinced the season is over? i really hope they turn it around but im not going to turn a blind eye to what is happening like some...

QUOTE(CWSOX45 @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 08:43 PM) You make it sound like we haven't won a game in 2 weeks. It's August 9th and we are a half game up on the wildcard, half-assed effort? You're right last night was half-assed when our team battled their asses off to come back a couple of times and finally win it in the 11th. please point out some fact any fact ANYTHING that points to this team going anywhere this year. gimmie something besides "they haven't hit their stride" or "detroit is gonna come back to earth" or "they won it last year" or "dont' question ozzie, he won it all last year"

This is the time this team needs to MAN UP, too bad they've been content since the first day of the season.

QUOTE(Felix @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 08:38 PM) It's NOT over, nor is this season. If you don't want to believe that, good for you, but you're wrong. and if you believe this team is going anywhere with their half assed effort and excuses for everything you're wrong

Randy will throw a no no and finally push the sox over the cliff to their demise where they belong. because that's how they've played this year.

QUOTE(Felix @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 08:36 PM) psst, they've won 7 out of their last 11. Get real if you think they'll win every game. Plus, this game isn't over, nor is any game, until the final out. let's hope against hope and wish upon a star!!!

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 08:35 PM) Are people still saying the Abreu trade won't help the Yankees that much? Oh, and this inning has sucked all of the momentum out of the team that they gained last night. More and more, I'm starting to believe this team is like every other Sox team pre-2005. We just keep waiting for that magical spark to send us on that definitive streak, and it never comes or they never capitalize on said spark. POST OF THE YEAR

Your defending World Champs folks... A BIG F'N JOKE

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 08:26 PM) gar's getting squeezed thanks hawk. good teams overcome things like that

my experience with this board says a good poster is someone who you usually agree with and a bad poster is someone you dont...

it's nice we have the lead but how many mistakes have we alredy made in 2 inngings?? sheesh

in your "hope" section most of that stuff is things that are not facts. they are things that people would hope would be. the dread section gives us facts and has no "well, it's go to get better right?" the only good thing goin for this team was the injuries to varitek and liriano...AND THAT'S SAD

i say we get shut out tonight 2-0. wang just rams it down our throats...

the worst thing is that many sox fans have lost their edge. there is a prevailing attitude that "everything is gravy" because they won the world series. let me state that the white sox winning the world series was one of the greatest things ive experienced in my life. the difference between myself and the "gravy" train is that i expect more. i know that it's very difficult in baseball to repeat. but i also can point out problems that i see. remember early in the season when some of us pointed out that the team had some major problems? we were shouted down with "LOOK AT THEIR RECORD" and "OZZIE WON IT ALL HE'S INFALLABLE"

QUOTE(longshot7 @ Aug 7, 2006 -> 11:17 PM) you know what, who cares? I want to win every game too, but despite the diappointments so far - guess what? We won the world series. Everything is else is gravy. Keep things in perspective. so.....it doesn't matter what happens because they won last year? that comment just oozes stupidity. last year is over with. was it AWESOME? beyond words. this team was capable of doing it again. looks like they've adopted your "perspective" who cares what happens now. they got a ring. that's BULLs***. and i'll always call it BULLs***. expect more. no free passes. this teams window is closing fast and almost shut. but i guess i need to keep things in perspective...let em get fat, not care, and sit back at what could have been instead of what should have been. QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 8, 2006 -> 12:41 AM) http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...-home-headlines At least Buehrle's not trying to make excuses. mark would totally fit in with tony larussa and the cards...are they stealing his signs too?

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Aug 7, 2006 -> 11:12 PM) Why do you care if he chooses to be optimistic and not foolishly give up on the season? If you think it's over, fine. Stop watching the games. Don't try and bring those down that continue to have faith in the team. you understand the irony of your comments right? it's probably /overyourhead

QUOTE(Texsox @ Aug 7, 2006 -> 10:31 PM) As bad as it looks today, I still like the chances for a playoff spot. Added bonus, the team will be playing their best ball of the season in September. Nope, not drinking. funny thing about comments like yours is that there is nothing to back it up except "i have a feeling" or "just because" false hope leads to disappointment imo nothing points to anything but us finishing 10 games over .500 for the season. our pitching stinks and we are the 2004 whitesox...homerun or nothing.

QUOTE(Felix @ Aug 7, 2006 -> 08:21 PM) 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***. 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.

QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 7, 2006 -> 08:17 PM) Can't wait for Ozzie in the press conference, bet he uses his famous, "I'm the manager and I'll do what I want." line. Too bad the chicago media don't have enough balls to tell him HE cost them the game with his s***ty managing.

QUOTE(Felix @ Aug 7, 2006 -> 08:16 PM) You probably said this last year too. 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.

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.

Great win keep it going. javy needs to do it in his next start to make me start to take notice.

can he play short??
